1HIRE A GHOST WRITER  Jun 16, 2008
While the thinking behind The Powerful Self seems sound, the truly awful writing rendered it nearly useless for me. Stosny's book is a powerful argument for hiring ghost writers or working with co-authors who can write and organize thoughts that the lay person can relate to. In his later collaboration on marriage he has thankfully done so. This book is poorly organized, with "workbook" exercises being presented to the clueless reader before his theory and vocabulary are fully explained or can be absorbed and understood. The book is dense with lists and acronyms which, unless you're already a Stosny follower, do little to further understanding. Stosny is probably very dynamic and effective in person and should either stick to that format - or get some professional (writing) help.

5Takes practice, but it's worth it. It WILL help change your life.  Mar 26, 2008
I'm finding this book a huge help. It's not light reading, but the methods are effective. It's worth spending the time with it and doing the exercises. Better would be a trip to a counselor, but reading this book first would save you hours of time (and hundreds of $$$) in preparing you to think through the many issues involved and start processing the emotions involved. What I like most about the book is that it gives you specific things to practice as you experience various emotions. In fact, it encourages you to recall those troubling negative emotions like fear and anger and then immediately switch into the desired response mode. This kind of practice takes effort, but it IS life-changing, and worth all the time it takes. As a result of practicing these methods just a short time, I already feel a much greater sense of power over my own life.
