A helpful guide to finding an appropriate response to many of life's trials. Seekers of deeper psychological understanding may want to look elsewhere for answers--this is a practical book not an academic one. But for those of us who simply need some tools to help us keep from over-reacting (bad) or under-reacting (perhaps even worse) this book is a gem.
The Greek philsophers wrote of the joys of living a life that encompassed the golden mean. This book steers the careful reader to the same destination with equally satisfying results.
Dr. Bennett's "the TOOL" is a simple yet comprehensive set of daily exercises that will help clarify and resolve problem areas in your life. It's twelve sections: Relating, Valuing, Communicating, Self-Preservation, Recognition, Analyzing, Goal Oriented, Idealism, Passion, Adapting, Aspiring, and Change provide the outlines of this work. I saw changes after the first day of use. It's easy to follow by your self, yet comprehensive enough to use with a therapist.
