Synopsis

First aid for failure

Although we have bandages for cuts, chicken soup for colds, and ice packs for bruises, most of us have no idea how to treat day-to-day emotional injuries such as failure, rejection, and loss. But, as Guy Winch, Ph.D., points out, these kinds of emotional injuries often get worse when left untreated and can significantly impact our quality of life. In this fascinating and highly practical book he provides the emotional first aid treatments we have been lacking.

Explaining the long-term fallout that can result from seemingly minor emotional and psychological injuries, Dr. Winch offers concrete, easy-to-use exercises backed up by hard cutting-edge science to aid in recovery. He uses relatable anecdotes about real patients he has treated over the years and often gives us a much needed dose of humor as well.

Buzzfeed likes to rec this book a lot and I get it because it's nicely written and easy to digest, but I felt it was repetitive and probably better to look at when you have a particular problem in mind than to just generally read.......more

Goodreads review by Heidi on August 11, 2015

Dr. Winch says that we should treat emotional pain like we do physical pain- with a good wash and a bandaid. The problem is that very few of us have had the training to know what to do when various emotional hurts occur. This book gives practical suggestions and exercises to help reduce and eliminat......more

Goodreads review by Lydia on April 05, 2018

I wanted to hide my self-help books for fear of showing to public every inch of a wimp that I am. This one I can hide because I read its Kindle edition on my phone. I know you think the cover screams "FOR WIMPS". I thought so too, but the fact that Guy Winch has the authority to speak on this matter,......more
