I'm one of those people who just can't seem to find a silver lining. After a lot of soul searching I decided to buy a few different books to help me help myself. Shock Therapy (Or How to Be Happy & Not Pay for a Shrink) was by far my favorite. The author, Guy Wilmot, has written this book based on a personal experience and it really shows. The main objective of this book is to promote happiness among readers and keep them engaged in their own lives.The content in this book is written in simple language that anyone can understand. Guy Wilmot has taken a good approach to the content of this book starting right from the introduction. Our life is full of ups and downs and it does not flow on a smooth track. He briefly explains the reality of our life through the first few chapters. Convincing examples are also used to clarify in an effective way. Sometimes our life is more beautiful than the way we see it in the moment.When we meet up with an obstacle in our life, we normally think about its negative side. I thought this book had a very effective method for dealing with obstacles in our lives. We are programmed with several expectations from our childhood, but we will not be able to reach those expectations in the way we think. It can all turn into a game of cat and mouse, but with help from people who have already experienced this, there are solutions."Shock Therapy" helped me clear my mind of a lot of worrisome attachments. Guy Wilmot asks you to list down all the things that you are worrying about. Then he tells the best methods available to get rid of those things and make your life a happy one. The book targets people in all the age categories. It uses a lot of fun, but to the point, illustrations, that make this book an easy an enjoyable read. Highly recommended.
