A book with intense and deep truth

This is the first book I have read which zoned into the actual method to have complete emotional freedom from past hurt. The truth in this book is so divinely guided that people may not want to become that clear, as you will feel resistance when you read the first few pages as your illusions come crashing down. Keep going and experience freedom - finally! To live your life the way you want to and not be dragged through live through unconscious sabotaging thoughts, which you will become more aware of through this book. May all be blessed.

Recommended to others

Have read and re-read and re-read again over the years. Such a good book I've rcmded to others and even bought it for someone. Though a lot of material/content (not pages) it is told in such a manner that makes it easy to read and very revealing, helpful. He is a great author and conveys points easily. Would consider reading his other books.

Concise presentation with a hopeful outlook

The crux of Viscott's message in Emotional Resilience is that individuals must resolve pain the moment it arises in order to become resilient. He presents his ideas in 10 steps and adopts a therapy-focused tone. This book brilliantly addresses how individuals who are struggling with unexpressed feelings and pain from their past can make breakthroughs.

A book for those serious about changing behavioural patterns

David Viscott's "Emotional Resilience" is a tightly packed book that provides the tools needed to unravel the behavioral and emotional tangles that complicate our lives, and to move on as emotionally healthier and happier individuals. The book is for people who are serious about breaking out of old patterns and who are ready and willing to confront themselves. Using phrases such as emotional debt, and toxic nostalgia Viscott indicates where emotions have needed to be addressed and how our personalities have developed as a result of not having done so. "Emotional Resilience" is by no means easy reading and digesting the contents may take repeated readings at different periods of time. I have reread sections of the book many times, and each time I learn something new. Viscott has provided me with the tools I needed to move out of old patterns and to realize myself as self-reliant adult. I cannot recommend Viscotts "Emotional Resilience" more highly!

The only self-help book you'll ever need

This book gets right to the root of depression, addiction, low self-esteem, fear of relationships, fear of change -- any problem that a sane person might suffer from. Whether you're familiar with your issues, or your life just feels stagnant and unfulfilling and you're not sure why, this book is a must-read. And if you have always scoffed at self-help books... this one has your name on it!
