Book Reviews of Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness
Book Review: "Your pain is not you!"
Summary: 5 Stars
You know how most self-help books have 50 pages and large type and basically say nothing? This book is different. It describes in depth and detail how to deal with the world. Not with 10 step plans or acronyms that are moronic. Just plain talk and good real stories. You can tell this author knows what he is talking about with regard to stress and dealing with the world.
I was suffering with anxiety and panic that everyone does. I read books but they didn't really help. Most called for my life to change dramatically which was not in the offing. But this book calls for you to think differently. Most interesting for me was the idea about pain. The very idea that your pain is not you -- that you can have pain and choose to be mindful of it but not let it consume you has made me so much less fearful of the world.
Too often pain and suffering are written as static things that are out of our control and unable to be changed. Sometimes I feel they are written that way so people will be more sympathetic to those in pain. But people don't see the downside of catastrophizing things -- of making people believe they are victims. Even those who aren't in pain at the moment see the reaction and fear pain / suffering because of the reaction.
I don't agree with everything in the book but it is so big that even now I haven't read everything. What a great buy for $13. Yet there are chapters that I refer to over and over again when I am feeling anxious or stressed. Almost always it calms me down and makes me realize I am in charge. Like a calm and wise friend.
