About the Author:
Doris Wild Helmering is the author of eight books, and a 20-year columnist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. She has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, and has written for Reader's Digest, USA Today, and Self. She lives in St. Louis, Missouri.
From Publishers Weekly:
Drawing on 28 years of experience as a psychotherapist, Helmering (Being OK Just Isn't Enough) believes that the key to "enlightened maturity" is the "seventh sense," detached self-awareness that is based on impartially monitoring one's thoughts and actions. Launching each chapter with a diagnostic question ("Do You Know How to Love?" "Do You Get Too Angry?" "Are You a Controlling Person?" "Do You Suffer from Anxiety and Depression?"), Helmering helps readers investigate and fine-tune their habits of mind. She advocates stepping back from each moment, especially when there is a discrepancy between one's perception (e.g., "I am a loving husband") and the reality ("my wife is leaving me and says I don't love her"). According to Helmering, the pause in the action of the mind allows a disengagement from negative thoughts, ungrounded assumptions and other mental clutter that can lead to counterproductive actions. While the title may sound mystical, the book is practical. Inspired by the tenets of cognitive therapy and illustrated with accessible, real-life examples, it's a mental shape-up program that offers self-assessment exercises and encourages the use of "positive self-talk" to guide daily action. Solid and accessible, the book deserves a wide audience.
