چکیده :
کتاب وقتی خدا درمانگر تو باشد، با بهره گیری از خرد جاودانه و اصول بنیادین روانشناسی، بینشی عمیق درباره ماهیت بشر به شما عرضه می کند و آشکار می سازد که چگونه برخلاف فرصت هایی که امروزه در اختیار داریم، عدم تسلط بر نفس منجر به انتخاب گزینه های نامناسبی می شود که در نهایت به احساسات منفی و عادات مخرب ختم می گردد...
technological advancements have made our lives increasingly comfortable, safe, and easy; and we have more opportunities and advantages available to us today than ever before.
given the high level of both opportunity and comfort, one would expect people to be happier than ever, and even more satisfied with their lives.
the reality, though, is startlingly different.
instead of thriving and feeling empowered as a result of greater choices, we are deteriorating.
according to the latest research, one in four americans suffers from mental illness.
the drug companies try to keep pace, with the sales of anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, and mood-stabilizing drugs at record levels, and tens of millions of new prescriptions being written each year.but that doesn't seem to be enough.many people are finding life just too painful.
every day, 80 americans take their own lives, and over 1,900 americans visit emergency departments for self-inflicted injury.
so why are we suffering from such emotional pain and anguish? drawing on timeless wisdom and fundamental principles in psychology, if god were your therapist offers insights into the human condition, and reveals how regardless of the opportunities available to us today, a lack of self-control results in poor choices, and ultimately leads to negative emotions and destructive habits.as a solution, this book offers neither exercises or affirmations, nor meditations or motivating mantras.
there is no homework to do or journals to fill out.
rather, new york times bestselling author, dr.
david j.
lieberman, shows readers learn how to regain self-control and move their thoughts, choices, and lives in a purposeful, powerful, direction, free from the shackles of anxiety and stress.
