TAMING YOUR GREMLIN

Twenty years ago, psychologist Richard D. Carson published a little book with a big idea. He called it TAMING YOUR GREMLIN: A Guide to Enjoying Your self... it's mission was to help people simply enjoy themselves and get more out of life.

Without fanfare, the book sparked quiet a revolution. Soon there were foreign language editions, as well as an institute, and workshops. Embraced by individuals and mental health professionals alike, this book offered wise and witty solutions to life's most common problems.

The phenomenon continues as the publisher (Harper/Collins) announces a fresh updated edition of TAMING YOUR GREMLIN. Like the original, this expanded version supplies a unique approach specifically designed to banish "Gremlins" - the nasty narrators in our heads that embody the tenacious, self-defeating aspects of an individual's personality. When you "tame your Gremlin" you get at the heart of who you really are as opposed to who you Think you are.

CHARLIE D. hangs out with his Gremlin:

I read a copy of the first edition, about a year ago, that was hanging around the office collecting dust and I remember enjoying it a great deal. Reading this book a second time, in it's newly expanded version, was easy going and fun.

The book is filled with tons of black and white graphics that, personally, did not appeal to my eye, but I think added to the very loose feel of this book.

"Taming your Gremlin" is really a workbook filled with exercises and activities meant to help you banish the "nemesis within."

As many of you in program will agree, we often have trouble getting out of our own way and just as often argue with the voices in our own head that assist in our own self sabotage.

If you're feeling stuck, want to get out of your own way and start enjoying your days a little more, TAMING YOUR GREMLIN could be the ticket!

Well, I'm off to take my Gremlin for a walk....

- Charlie D.
