Own Your Past Change Your Future - by John Delony (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Your Mental Health Matters.

We're the most technologically advanced society in history, but we've never been more stressed, medicated, or lonely. We have 1,000 Facebook friends but no one to help us move our couch. The pace of life is making us exhausted.

We're all carrying the weight of our trauma based on the stories we were told by others and the ones we tell ourselves--and those stories are like bricks in a backpack that keep us from being happy and healthy. In his new book, national bestselling author Dr. John Delony provides a clear, five-step path to being well.

You'll learn how to:

• Redefine what trauma is and how to identify it in your life.


• Grieve and heal from past hurt and trauma.


• Make friends as an adult--it's not easy, but it is necessary.


• Change your thoughts--it's possible.


• Assess and evaluate your actions--these can change too.

You'll laugh. You'll cry. Your thoughts and actions will be challenged. And if you take the steps John outlines, you'll learn how to leave the past where it belongs and get on the path to healing.

To
say that this is an important book would be a colossal understatement. It is
transformational--really. I want every person I know to read it right now!

President of The Table Group and New
York Times Bestselling Author

An
essential read for those seeking to help others as well as those needing a life
change. The information is relatable from the first page to the last. It
resonates with your soul in such a way that it reads more as a conversation
than a book. Once I began reading, it was nearly impossible to put down.

I
have many words to describe this book--enlightening, profound, surprising,
hilarious, accessible--but there are only three words I have, and have always
had, to describe John: a good man. I envy you this first, but hopefully not
last, experience with him.

Each

hard relationships. Nothing influences our parenting more than these. Dr.
Delony parses these out in a razor-sharp manner that makes us see ourselves as
we were and as we are now. This is an important book because it makes you
better and a better you is always a better parent.

Stories
exert some very powerful forces on our psyches and our lives. They set up
expectations and also the maps we live by. John reminds us that it is very
important to examine what our own stories are, and to be a proactive
participant in writing new ones.
