It doesn't matter what an institution or an authority tells you about the spiritual world. What matters is what you can experience for yourself.” By combining 60 years of hands-on working experience using the elements of Jungian psychology with the kind of practical approach found in Ellis' Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Psychiatrist Phil Stutz and Psychotherapist Barry Michels have designed an innovative approach to help clients suffering from Depression, Anxiety, Insecurities, Past Hurts and Difficult Problems find Innovative & Spiritual Solutions. They believe that Traditional Time-Proven Therapy – which though effective, focuses too extensively on the causes of the problem and not on finding a permanent solution. The tools in Coming Alive help you connect to the Life Force and harness the energy and will to combat Part X. These are tools of ascendance—they activate your aspirational self; they spark creativity and resilience; they help you to transcend the mire of negative thoughts and circumstances and align with a powerful ally that unites us in our common desire to live lives of meaning and engagement. Inner Authority: Uses the force of Self Expression to face your insecurities by accepting your shadow (the embodiment of all negative traits) and revealing yourself in a truthful and authentic way. PHIL: Yes. I didn't think of it when I was doing it, but I was bringing some of the urgency, some of the immediacy from the streets into the realm of psychotherapy. On Riker's Island, if a corrections officer was good, he could command a large group of inmates not by reasoning with them but with the vibe that he could give off. The guys who couldn't generate these forces couldn't get any respect.Barry received his A.B., magna cum laude, from Harvard College in 1975, his J.D. (law degree) from University of California Berkeley, School of Law (Boalt Hall), in 1979, and his M.S.W. from U.S.C. School of Social Work in 1984. The Grateful Flow - When you are filled with worry, self-hatred, or negative-thinking. List at least 5 things you are grateful for, including things you may take for granted, then feel the physical sensation of gratefulness. These tools are emotional game changers. They do nothing less than deliver you to your best and most powerful self.”—Kathy Freston, author of Quantum Wellness However, even the readable part should be read selectively. Get the techniques, skip the rest. Keep your critical thinking on.

Secondly, what probably works well in therapy—i.e., with regular, ongoing support—is going to be far harder to accomplish on your own, without help. Which is the case with any program of self-overhaul, of course. But with with more pedestrian changes—fitness, diet, physical skills, etc.—there's a ton of available routes for support; not so much with this. Tap into the life force to deepen your emotional and spiritual experience and realize your full potential with this transformative book by the New York Times bestselling authors of The Tools(and the resident shrinks on Goop). Each tool is pretty solid and easily implemented, even if you don’t buy into its fueled-by-a-higher-power premise. Overall, the book is worth the read, but I’d recommend taking with you an additional tool of “take-what–fits-and-leave-the-rest-behind.” At times, the authors’ explanations and conclusions can feel a bit forced and hand-waved, but nothing that the tools of The Reversal of Desire and Grateful Flow (see above) can’t handle. In The Tools, Barry Michels and Phil Stutz revolutionized the world of personal growth and self-actualization by offering doable, dynamic actions that transformed challenges into opportunities for change. Now, in Coming Alive, they provide four vital tools for tappinginto the Life Force that resides within each of us—a wellspring of positive energy that is the source of creativity, renewal, confidence, and engagement.I was really interested by the ideas is this book, mostly because they are extensions of a lot of things I've been thinking about lately. The section about consumers vs creators particularly hit home, as lately I've felt especially beat down by the barrage of ads every single place I turn in life and the realization that their sole purpose is to create dissatisfaction. Active Love: Uses the force of Outflow to dissolve your sense of unfairness so you can break free of the maze of ruminative thoughts and allow yourself to accept what (and who) is. The Reversal of Desire - When you need to take action that you have been avoiding. This says we need to welcome trips outside of our Comfort Zone when actions need to be taken. I can say there have been things that I have avoided for fear they would be difficult, and when I get to them they are easier that I expected. Using this tool is to get you mentally prepare to handle the pain of take the difficult action out of your comfort zone to get through it. "Bring it on!" "I love pain!" "Pain sets me free!"

Jeopardy - When you don't want to use the tools, picture yourself having run out of time. This is a tool to give willpower to keep focused on the next task. From the international bestselling authors of THE TOOLS and GOOP’s resident psychotherapists comes a ground-breaking new book to help us overcome the side of us that is destructive and negative to find a deep level of happiness and fulfilment.

A good feature that this book does provide is a helpful summary, and a Q & A session, on each tool at the end of chapters. Active Love: A way to quell anger, prevent yourself perseverating on injustice, or prepare yourself for confronting a difficult person To date, he has shared mental health lessons with top writers, actors, producers, CEOs, and other creatives in America. About Phil Stutz’s Book The Tool I would never had read this book with Netflix. The cover features an endorsement from Dr. Oz, which alone makes it worth not touching, but again, thanks to my soft spot for Jonah Hill, I gave it a go anyway. PHIL: We can joke about therapy taking 30 years, but most therapists really want to be helpful. I only ask you to try The Tools and observe.
