Self-rescue

Dr. John Kiley has done an exceptional job with this book. For those tortured souls who have addictions (tobacco, cocaine, opium--you name it) or who have recently lost a loved one, or who simply want to lose weight, this is the book you should have. This book is about how to stop torturing yourself with your own thoughts--fears of the future or remorse about the past--and get control of your life; how to stay in the Now, where everything happens, for as Dr. Kiley tells us, the past is no more and cannot be changed and the future has not yet arrived and no one can predict it accurately. Now is where everything happens. This book was named the Book of the Month by Psychology Today magazine when it was first published, and it has not diminished in value since then. Dr.Kiley is eminently qualified to write such a book. He holds doctorates in both philosophy and medicine, and trained at Princeton while Albert Einsteinwas in residence there. In fact, his doctoral dissertation was titled Einstein and Aquinas: A Rapprochement. He is a self-proclaimed "clinical philosopher," for as he explains everyone has a philosophy, whether they know it or not. John Kiley uses a concrete, down to earth method for controlling your mind and ridding yourself of unwanted thoughts which torture you. It works! Don't pass up this volume. Joseph Pierre
