Book Reviews of White Bears and Other Unwanted Thoughts: Suppression, Obesession, and the Psychology of Mental Control

Book Review: mind blowing stuff - a life saver
Summary: 4 Stars

To really get to grips with this book you need have some quality undisturbed time alone. This complex yet thorough book is so informative you begin to realise the way the mind thinks and just how easy it is to change it. I suffered from terrible consistent thoughts which i couldnt get out of my head from day to day , night to night. This was not obssesive compulsive disorder this was a disorder I had created in my own mind through fear and anxiety. This book tells you just how easy it is too develop an unwanted thought. The trick is to face the thought and try not to push it aside. The more you push it away the harder it comes back at you. This book saved my sanity!
