Stephen Briers

En smart och underhållande granskning av självhjälpsindustrins myter och hur väl de egentligen stämmer överens med den forskning som finns. Beror alla dina problem på dålig självkänsla? Kan du bli en vinnare genom att tänka positivt? Är KBT alltid den bästa lösningen? Och behöver ditt inre barn verkligen en kram?

Stephen Briers menar att överflödet av självhjälpsmetoder faktiskt gör oss olyckligare, eftersom de får oss att tro att det räcker med enkla knep för att förbättra våra liv.

"Frågan om hur vi påverkas av det 'psyksnack' som ständigt omger oss är väl värd eftertanke
och diskussion"
Åsa Nilsonne ur det svenska förordet
