This book can help you identify twisted thinking and then change it to something more realistic. It was amazing to me to discover just how twisted, unhelpful and just plain irrational my thinking was! Most negative thinking falls into these categories. But so does "positive thinking" and affirmations -- they can be just as black and white, twisted and unhelpful. Why Me? teaches you how to identify feelings of hopelessness and replace them with more rational and reasonable thoughts. Eg the thought "I never do anything right" is an example of all-or-nothing thinking, overgeneralization, jumping to conclusions, fortune-telling, and discounting the positive. Whew! Reading this book is like installing new and upgraded software into your mind. Read it with an open mind and the techniques are sure to help.
