I have initially created the Better Than Cured Guide to Healing and Happiness to help patients in my psychiatric private practice who were suffering from anxiety and depression. My goal was not only to help them get well, but beyond that, to also help them find a viable path to a happier life. They were loosing any hope that they can ever be healthy and happy again. They were amazed when they did it. If hundreds of my patients could do it, so can you, my dear reader. I hope their stories of courage and success will empower you to reinvent yourself and rekindle the hope that your life too can be better and that your pain can be healed. Set your life course on a "better than cured" path that leads to your own profound and personal journey to healing and happiness.

The first two segments of the e-course:


How to use this self-guide

Practice exercise: Make peace with yourself

have been sent to subscribers.




How to use this guide (excerpt)
For you to successfully use any guide or piece of advice, you need to have complete control to decide how you use it and what results you desire. It is important for you to feel in control. Use this guide as you think and feel it will work best for you: you can skip the portions you already have dealt with, you can approach it in any order you want, you can do the suggested exercises or not, you can choose to read the suggested books or web links or not. If you have difficulties finding the time to explore the self-guide right now, make a mental note and save it for later. If you feel you are not quite ready to work with it at the moment, don’t force yourself. Perhaps later you will feel more ready or more motivated. Save it for when you feel it’s right for you. Take only what you need and discard the rest.

Practice exercise: Make Peace with Yourself (excerpt)
It is very hard, almost impossible, to look into the future with confidence and excitement if you are not at peace with yourself. If you don’t know how to forgive and be kind with yourself, how can you move forward and how can you give others love and support? Anger at yourself or others will turn against yourself. Most of the time it will hurt you more than it will ever hurt the people with whom you are angry. Anger is toxic and counterproductive. You will be able fully to use your inner power, motivation, intelligence and creativity to find your path to better things in life only if you can find an effective way to make peace with yourself.

  3. Goethe says: "The most happy man is he who knows how to bring into relation the end and beginning of his life. Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world. "
