内容简介

Free yourself from destructive behaviorMany of us know that self-destructive patterns are rooted in self-dislike, but few of us understand how to break them. In this wise and compassionate book, bestselling author and eminent psychiatrist Theodore Rubin shows us realisticways to break these negative mental and emotional attitudes and build a strong sense of well-being and self-understanding.Dr. Rubin looks of how self-hate begins, is sustained, and eventually leads to destructive and defeating behavior -- from alcoholism and drug dependency to perfectionism and fear of failure (or success). Offering practical and reassuring advice, he shows that the key to freeing yourself from these restricting emotions and habits is to find and examine the self-hate that generates them, and then to release your innate and powerful capacity for compassion.This warm, sympathetic, and ultimately practical guide to personal growth and fulfillment is timelier and more helpful than ever.
