How to Be Miserable, livre ebook

“Randy J. Paterson has hit a home run with this highly accessible, engaging book. How to Be Miserable uses tongue- in- cheek humor, scientifically grounded practical advice, and a healthy dose of what is colloquially known as ‘reverse psychology’ to help put an end to common behavioral patterns that contribute to unhappiness. Anyone who wants to be less miserable should read this book and do the opposite of everything it recommends!” — Martin M. Antony, PhD, ABPP , professor of psychology at Ryerson University in Toronto, ON, Canada, and coauthor of The Shyness and Social Anxiety Workbook and The Anti- Anxiety Workbook “Randy J. Paterson’s How to Be Miserable contains practical, witty, and wise advice, and is based on the premise that we have become our own worst enemies. Confronting our ‘management’ strategies consciously is the only way our life actually begins to turn toward better outcomes.” — James Hollis, PhD , Jungian analyst, and author of The Middle Passage and Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life “Randy J. Paterson has failed miserably in his quest to create a recipe for unhappiness in How to Be Miserable, and instead has written a gem of a parody on how to cope with the inevitable difficulties we all must face in order to live a happy and fulfilling life.” — Simon A.
