Summary |
The challenge of being a grown up is to effectively balance the desire for fun and freedom against the responsibilities that come with having a full and productive life. This book is about maximizing your chances for happiness and success. As the psychotherapist on both Celebrity Fit Club and Lifetime's DietTribe, Stacy Kaiser has gained a reputation for helping us face the truth that is holding us back. She offers "tough love," but in a fun way. As a result of providing therapy for thousands of patients, Stacy identifies ten critical areas that will help readers develop the life skills needed to become a successful, happy, high-functioning adult. The book opens with a quiz to assess the reader's current level of function in the ten areas, followed by chapters devoted to each. While some of these will be familiar, Stacy offers a fresh take and gives you a blueprint to follow.--From publisher description. |
