Worry Cure Book
Posted: Mon Jan 11, 2010 3:19 am
A couple of days ago in another thread ViewsAskew (I think ??) mentioned a book called The Worry Cure. I never read books like this but it sounded so like me that I ordered it from Amazon and it arrived in 2 days.
Haven't had time to get into it properly, but have managed to read about 40 pages. This book is very interesting. It explains things so clearly. So far what I am understanding is that us worriers cannot cope well with uncertainty, and we do not cope well with negative emotions. Therefore we worrry and worry, looking for the perfect solutions to make things always good for ourselves and for everyone. We (worriers) are all generally of the nature of feeling responsible for everyone's happiness.
It is likely that I am not explaining it too clearly as I have just wakened up and am on my nightly walkabout. But certainly at present, I would recommend this as enlightening reading.
Bought it as 'used good condition' on Amazon for less than $4 for paperback, cos paperback is easier to read in bed, and the condition is excellent.
