About the Author

David Parker suffered for years with depression and anxiety. During a particularly low point, he recalled a friend's advice and started keeping a feeling's diary. As time passed, he saw a connection between the tasks that he avoided facing and his poor feelings and low self-esteem. Armed with this insight, David taught himself to face his tasks and the overwhelming feelings they brought by learning to focus on Just One Task, which he incorporated into "The J.O.T. Method^TM." David Parker has lived in London, San Francisco, and Brooklyn, New York.
