Book Overview

What if peace of mind, beautiful feelings, little or no stress, wonderful, healthy relationships and greater effectiveness, were right at your fingertips, and you held the key but didn't realize it or didn't know how to use it? That is what "Somebody Should Have Told Us "

This book is about how we all have a state of perfect mental health and wisdom inside us that can only be covered up by our own thinking, and how our use of our power of thought creates the "reality" we see, out of which we then think, feel and act. Here are ten simple but profound truths for living well, arising from three spiritual facts that, once grasped or truly realized, can transform one's life. This book has the ability to spawn insights that change the lives of those who come to understand the simple, yet profound wisdom contained in this book. In fact, it already has.

This book is the essence of self-help, in that it points people inside themselves for all answers. It shows people how to access their own essence whenever they need to. It shows people how they create their experience of life moment to moment. The book is written in an easy-to-understand manner with many stories of how people's lives have changed. When we were growing up nobody told us what this book points to, but somebody should have told us And it's never too late.

Three Thumbs Up

Jack Pransky has written an excellent book. It covers how to become aware of the thoughts that create distress and how to have personal power over those thoughts.

This book should be required reading....

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I recommend this book to all of my clients. Several readers have told me they think it should be required reading for everyone. Dr. Pransky has captured the essence of mental health and points the reader in the direction that uncovers their innate wisdom and well-being. It's not only easy to read and understand, it's also enjoyable reading. Anyone who reads this book can't help but be positively affected.

Unique, profound and impactful.

I found this book wise and real, unbound by the limitations of many self-help books. In it the author teaches an essential understanding, that when really grasped, makes psychological well-being accessible to all. Truly all. The understanding in this book changed my world -- from relationships to work to everyday living. Life is richer, simpler and easier now that I have woken up to what has always been true, but which I just had to see better. The writing is simple and direct, the stories engaging and moving, the wisdom is accessible and immediately helpful - more than helpful - profound.

A Practical Compass for Inner Peace and Wisdom

Jack Pransky writes in a clear, direct and authentic voice about 3 simple principles that, once you see them, can change your life. They have changed mine and those of many clients I have worked with as a psychologist and coach. This book is a combination of straightforward explanation, Jack's personal experiences, and delightful stories of hope and health provided by his clients and colleagues. The stories, in particular are moving and inspiring. All fancy words aside, there are also many moments when this book is just plain funny. Which makes it a great mirror of life! Jack's metaphors and light-hearted sense-of-humor are a delight. Don't expect an exhausting "to do" of techniques; but do expect to come away with a much clearer understanding of how you create your entire experience of life. For mental health professionals: this book points to an understanding of how our psychological natures work that is powerful and transformative. It is a worthy study for any scientist-practitioner willing to invite fresh insight into a world beyond cognitive-behavioral, cognitive and mindfulness-based theories.

Honest and Insightful

This book is great! If you are interested in living your life in a state of well being and peace, this is the book for you! The "simple truths" found in this book have the potential to change your life...forever!
