Um. Before you say, “duh???,” let me just say that the title of this post is the title of an insightful book by Steven J. Fogel, business leader and Renaissance man, with Mark Rosin. A refreshing combination of psychology tips and motivational themes, the book outlines why our mind goes awry, leading down the slippery slope to depression and anxiety, and how we can try to better hold the reins.
Now if you are so clinically depressed right now that you can’t get out of bed, I don’t think many of the chapters will help you. However, if you are at an okay place, functioning but pretty freaked out about the change that’s going on in your life like I am, well, I appreciated Fogel’s guidelines.
He starts by examining our childhood (Yes, you get to blame mom and pop again … it’s wonderful).

When parents discipline their child, sometimes they overdo it,wanting to make him a model human being–thereby crushing his initiative &confidence.On the other hand too little also has the danger of him turning into an uncontrollable fiend.the borderline is obscure &faint.It is only after the child grows into an adult that parents can spot where they went wrong.Sad, isn’t it ?
