Psychologist Seligman ( Learned Optimism ) here examines common psychological disorders according to their biological and societal, or learned, components. Most enlightening are his analyses of the effectiveness of relaxation, meditation, psychoanalysis and cognitive therapies in the treatment of anxiety, which, along with depression and anger, he claims, can largely be controlled by disciplined effort. Tables demonstrating the success rates of various approaches to given problems, evaluative questionnaires and mostly jargon-free prose complement Seligman's comprehensive, unformulaic discussion. Maintaining that dieting will not help people who are overweight ("Weight is in large part genetic"), the author urges a focus on fitness and health; asserting that a child's psyche heals faster than an adult's, he observes that childhood trauma does not necessarily shape one's adult life: "the rest of the tapestry is not determined by what has been woven before." Direct, instructive and nonreductive, Seligman's observations and theories are positive, realistic and sound.

读后感

本周读的是马丁·塞利格曼的《认识自己，接纳自己》。 在本书中，作者从改变的可能性和生物局限性出发，以确凿的事实告诉我们什么能改变，什么不能改变。 明确这点才是真正改变的开始，如此方能利用我们宝贵的时间去改变可以改变、值得改变的东西，而接受那些不能改变的东西，...  

《What you can change and what you can't》书是好书，就是封面和翻译的书名太恶俗了，尤其是“接纳自己”现在都被讲烂了。 提出了一个概念“深度”，深度决定了你能否改变，以及改变的程度。 将问题普遍化与人格化会更不利于你做出改变，而将问题仅仅视为当前的问题会有利于...

在人生中，有的方面是可以改变的，有的方面是无法改变的；有的方面是容易改变的，有的方面是很难改变的。 充分认识到这些方面，合理分配好自己的精力，做能做的事情，接受不能改变的事实，这样的生活会更加美好。  

用户评价

实在不喜欢他的文风

改变自己的范围是受基因限制的，这个观点很有意思。 这里讲了抑郁、强迫症、愤怒、性取向、性偏好、节食、酗酒，讲了些许故事，讲了些许治疗，当然，也有永不消逝的伤痛。

人类现在所保留的一些不那么光彩基因，在远古时代却是在艰苦环境中的优胜者。好好了解自己吧，从本书开始。
