Self-Help
Stuff That Works is a no-nonsense, practical self-help
handbook written in a friendly, entertaining, and concise style.
It gives you solid tools you can use to better your life.
You'll learn how to become more effective with your actions and
feel good more often. The chapters were originally written for a
column in Rodale Press's newsletter At Your Best (now an
online newsletter called Balancing Act, which is part of Rodale's
Online Health), where Adam's column was voted the readers'
favorite.
This book is about as well-made as a book can be. The cover
design is laminated right onto this hardbound book. The binding is
sewn, so it lays open easily and won't crack or fall apart, even
after years of hard use.
And this book was designed to be used. It is made to be
referred to again and again when you need some counsel. When
you're feeling blue or tired or at the end of your rope, or when
you need a boost or just want to feel better, reach for this book.
It is easy, enjoyable reading and the chapters are brief. Each of
the chapters (there are over a hundred) ends with a simply-stated
principle you can apply.
Since the things we learn are not etched in stone but stored in
a gooey organ, an organ we use every day, it's important to not
only learn good ideas, but to be reminded of them when we need
them. Otherwise, the incoming information we are bombarded with
every day tends to push the things we "know" into the
back of our minds, and, while it is not forgotten, it is hard to
remember when we need it.
Most of the chapters are short enough to read in five minutes
or less, and at the end of that five minutes, you'll come away
with a technique you can use to improve either your situation or
your attitude toward it.
