The Mind Workout: Twenty steps to improve your mental health and take charge of your life

By reading this books you improve your mental health by incorporating simple habits and adjusting wrong believes and incorporating the practices in your daily life e.g. when doing laundry or brushing your teeth. I highly recommend reading this book for anyone suffering from anxiety disorders. If your symptoms are not severe yet, or you are recovering so you can put read and think, practicing the exercises laid out in this book fortifies your defenses against development / relapse of mental illnesses. The point is, do not just read the book, DO the exercises. I am speaking from point of experience. One more note, what the book says about anxiety might sound simple and self-evident, i.e. you perfect what you practice whether its anxiety or any other skill, BUT it is not as simple as that, otherwise not so many would suffer from anxiety. According to the book, in very very subtle ways, we train our brain to be an OCD, Phobia, borderline ,etc,etc monster. Those trainings we provide for the brain seem to be "normal" as mark emphasizes. One of the thing I like in the book is the specific example that Mark gives after explaining each point, examples even include daily routines such as laundry or brushing your teeth. Actually, I wish the book gave even more of those example as I found them very very useful. This book says, mental health is attainable, surprisingly without having to meditate in an ivory tower or eating cosmic food and being enlightened by a wise alpaca!

Amazing. Thanks Mark!
