Synopsis
In this book, Dr. Maisel employs the metaphor of "the room that is your mind" to provide 60 cognitive strategies that enable smart, sensitive, creative clients to engage in dynamic self-regulation for greater awareness, insight, and enhanced mental capabilities. Issues that are examined include repetitive and obsessional thinking, self-criticism and a lack of self-confidence, anxiety and depression, reliving traumatic memories, and overdramatizing and catastrophizing. This is the perfect book for cognitive-behavioral therapists to suggest to clients and will be of great interest to clients whose needs for imaginative and metaphorically rich strategies often go unmet.

"Eric Maisel is at the cutting edge in the field of creativity and health. He reminds us that 'being smart, sensitive, creative, and troubled go hand in hand,' but the current system, which calls these problems a mental disorder and prescribes drugs or 'talk therapy,' is inadequate and outdated. This is a must-read book for clinicians and clients alike. I've used these practices myself, and they really work. Plus, they are fun to read and easy to use. I highly recommend this fine book."


Jed Diamond, PhD, author of The Enlightened Marriage and From Madness to Manhood





"Once again, Eric Maisel takes the arcane topic of mental illness and transforms it into everyday language, avoiding the inhumane pitfalls of the illness model of human distress. Using the visual metaphor of 'the room that is your mind,' he presents practical applications that can restore well-being in times of existential angst. This book is especially geared for people of existential sensibility, given their creativity and resistance to cultural conformity and the emotional anguish of such rebellion."


Chuck Ruby, PhD, executive director of the International Society for Ethical Psychology and Psychiatry


"Imagine each day going to the garbage and spreading it throughout your house. Few would argue this is sane behavior. Yet within the room that is our mind, many people spread anger, guilt, worry, and resentment everywhere. Dr. Eric Maisel teaches us how the mind has the ability to enter into self-conversation and how to utilize this to choose our inner dialogue and enter into dynamic self-regulation. The results are profound and bring expanded awareness, insight, inspiration, creativity, and focused concentration."


Lee Jampolsky, PhD, bestselling author of Healing the Addictive Personality and Smile for No Good Reason


"With humor and compassion, Maisel outlines 60 exercises for trading one's self-pestering for healthy indwelling. He explains how to replace anxiety with freedom and joy and convert our mental bed of nails into an easy chair. The book's engaging and practical tools teach readers to be gentle with themselves and achieve new heights of understanding and creativity. For self-doubters, this book is not just inspirational, but a profound relief."


Judith Schlesinger, PhD, author of The Insanity Hoax: Exposing the Myth of the Mad Genius
