F*ck Feelings: One Shrink's Practical Advice for Managing All Life's Impossible Problems

Excerpt review below:

WARNING: Naughty language in this book.

Despite the cheerfully bright yellow cover and salaciously curt, morally outskirting title, F*uck FEELINGS is a landmark of psychological help. With tongue-in-(hopefully)-cheek mocking of every Dr. First-name (Phil, Deepak, Oprah) book out there, Dr. Bennett and his comedic daughter seek to dispense actually useful advice with wit and practicality (...).

I bought this book recently because for me, it's not about feelings or happiness or some part of becoming 'glad', but more about finding a particular element of satisfaction. So far, I like what I've read. I'll probably pass it on to others in my group of reading aficionados because we tend to do that for each other: buy a book, pass it on. Kind of like a fair reading exchange, type of thing.

If you have never heard of Bob Proctor or read any of his books then you are truly missing out. That is all I can say. It is absolutely life changing.

Anne Rice- The Witching Hour. I found it in Goodwill for a quarter. I read it years ago but don't honestly remember too much.

I'm reading a thriller called The Cloud Collector, by Brian Freemantle. I'm enjoying it.

Glenn · 02-04-2016, 12:32 PM

"Excuse Me Your Life Is Waiting"- Lynn Crabhorn. I have read many life coaches, but she was one of the best. I say was, because she committed suicide while battling cancer. She firmly believed in the power of positive feeling and thinking, mental and emotional cause and affect, visualization, and magnetism. It still remains a mystery as to why she committed suicide. Dale Carnegie, also was one of the best life coaches in the world, and he also committed suicide while battling an illness.

I was lucky to be in on a trade for the book, Bettyville, which was a New York Times best seller, last year. I plan to read it over the weekend.

Stephen King- The Four Seasons- 4 Novella set -1982. Stephen King's books make me crazy, yet are so addicting.

C0LLETTE · 02-06-2016, 12:36 PM

I'm reading another great schlocky novel by James Michener (1907-1997), "Poland" (1983).

Michener's novels include Tales of the South Pacific, Hawaii, The Drifters, Centennial, The Source, The Fires of Spring, Chesapeake, Caribbean, Caravans, Alaska, Texas and Poland. His non-fiction works include Iberia, about his travels in Spain and Portugal.

His first book was adapted as the popular Broadway musical South Pacific by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein.

The guy wrote some 40 novels/books, almost all based in sweeping historical research and full of manifest destiny, which is always fun.

Thankfully I wont list them all here but:

I did learned about "the missionary position" from "Hawaii"; all about why everyone wants pieces of Israel from "The Source"; and I can still sing all the words to "Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair" from South Pacific.
