Summary: easy to understand, analytic, but too cliched
Comment: I brought this book because I am a stressed out college undergrad trying to place a deterrent to the inevitable stresses and concerns everyday. After reading the author's bio, I decided to purchase it. After flipping through the first pages, though, i realize that it is a book with too much ambition - although a little bit of everything is talked about (post-traumatic stress/other psyc stuff, think patterns, life-stories), it tries to reach all different types of audiences - parents, lovers, managers. It is helpful, but I would not recommend it if you want to own this book like a life line.

Summary: Resilient Thinking is Constructive Approach to the Negatives
Comment: I agree that 7 is a lucky number, not just for book titles or subtitles. The authors focus on "the thinking rather than feeling side of the human psyche, but their intent is to ultimately affect readers' emotional reactions through helping them reprogram their thoughts." New directions in cognitive therapy, such as this book, are helping people live better lives. I recommend this book highly -- it is almost as good as my favorite, The Positive Power of Negative Thinking by Julie Norem. Resiliency is a good name for adaptive, constructive strategies for dealing with negative thoughts and feelings. For those of us who don't want to be optimists, being 'resilient' is as good a label as 'constructively pessimistic' or any other.
