There is a fundamental law at work here: Thoughts grow with attention. The more attention you gave to what you're thinking, the bigger the book becomes in your mind and the more important that thought will seem. When difficult things happen, you have to deal with them. There is no staying in bed and pulling up the covers indefinitely. While it might work for a day, or even two, eventually you have to face whatever is going on and deal with it.

Serve first, seek second” should be the motto for anyone currently distressed by their perceived problems. This little book will change your life if you want it to. Severe anxiety and depression need not rule your mind if you listen to the advice in this book. Absolutely awesome, I recommend it to everyone! Stop thinking, start living! :)The first way of thinking is memory-based and is called processing; the latter one is insight-based and is the creative, free-flowing mode of your thinking habits. It's also important to remind yourself that others care just as much as you do about social issues and charitable causes. It's okay to let them share the burden of responsibility; often it's the only way to make it bearable. This doesn't mean you should stop caring; rather, it means you should take pride in what you do and stop worrying that it isn't good enough. It is. I have read many of this type of book but not learnt a great deal. This is logical, self explanatory and a very good read. There is no deep meanings or regression to the past. Read this book and if done properly, it will change your life for the better. Helped me with stress, anxiety and depression.
