    Redirect Book Review

    Timothy Wilson’s book, Redirect, is definitely a great read for those of us who are skeptical yet somehow intrigued by the self-help industry. Wilson provides an innovative theory which is “so crazy it just might work.” He debunked life fulfillment myths often propagated by the self-help industry and also provided in-depth explanations of how thought patterns are developed through four key scenarios: The first- semester college student who did poorly on their first exam, child abuse, teenage pregnancy, and group interaction which is meant to reduce conflicts and prejudice. The book’s major strength of the book is how clear Wilson explains how little time is required for some interventions that make very lasting changes in people´s behavior and outcomes. Wilson presents the material in a way in which scientific novices, like myself, can understand and appreciate the ideas he is trying to convey. He provides so many examples of the point he tries to make across and ties in everything to how it is possible to change a person’s narrative. A criticism I have of the book would be the section he expands on experimental designs and conditions. I saw it as a tangent on his behalf because it doesn’t exactly go along with “story editing”. Although, studies should be conducted in such ways explained by Wilson and it is extremely important to take into consideration because your life is an experiment in itself. Another would be the repetition of formatting he implemented throughout the book. First was a story, commonly tragic, that he then spoke about the routine processes following the incident, picks it apart, criticizes it and then shows how story editing/prompting could be used instead. The book itself made a contribution to our understanding of social psychology because Wilson popularizes the idea of positive thinking but adds his own spin to the age-old concept and showing how it could be integrated into “redirecting” our own personal narratives through new approaches…

    4-Mat Review: Psychology, Theology and Spirituality in Christian Counseling

    Christian counseling is all about integrating psychology, theology and spirituality into counselor and clients lives. Psychology, Theology and Spirituality in Christian Counseling gives insight into how these three perspectives can be used to help individuals identify certain aspects of their lives that might be enhanced when the counselor includes spirituality into their counseling sessions. We also see how important it is for the counselor to be in touch with their own spirituality so that they can lead by example.…

    Reflection of When Things Fall Apart

    Pema Chodron should be considered a spiritual teacher for anyone. Whether they are aspiring to have one, they already have one or don’t desire one at all. In her book, When Things Fall Apart, Pema Chodron exposes the overwhelming potential for happiness, wisdom and courage. She explains how one can experience all of these even during the most painful of circumstances. She introduces us to the face that there is an ultimate opportunity for the right of happiness that is right within our reach and she explains how we usually miss the opportunity for that happiness. She conveys to us that we miss that opportunity for happiness because we are all caught up in the attempts to escape the pain, fear and suffering in our lives. Her stellar story, which should and probably does guide many lives, demonstrates to us how we can utilize all of our painful emotions and develop them into compassion and courage, wisdom and understanding, and ways of communication that open up to more opportunities for openness and true interaction with others. She gives us practices for reversing our negative everyday habits and methods for operating with stressful chaotic situations. She shows us ways to develop our painful and fearful emotions into compassionate and energetic feelings that manifest themselves into social action. She worked for 20 years to develop the practices that she preaches as a Tibetan Buddhist nun, while drawing in from her earlier years of experience and feelings as an everyday housewife and mother. She gives whole-hearted and thoughtful advice and wisdom that drew from all of her experience in her life. Her deep-seated and kind hearted advice establishes the grounds for what to do when lings begin to fall apart in our live and go against the normalcy in our environments and expectations. The instruction and assistance that she gives us is meant to offer us comfort and is meant to challenge our actions in our daily lives to live deeply, whole-heartedly and contribute to…
