Review:
I found this book easy to read and follow.
I do procrastinate and needed some help in that area. I read the book and put the principals into
action and I can tell you that I finished this semester with a 4.0 with 4
classes. I was ahead in everyone of them
and when I thought of doing something else I made sure my school work was
caught up and even ahead.
The funny part
was that I am an unorganized person and yet every other student commented about
how together I was and even asked me for advice….ME? Well I enjoyed this book and can tell you
that I could have done it alone…but found this book the push I needed.
I believe this
book would be helpful for all of you. It
is quick to read and easy to follow.

peer counseling. He is active in the IFS community and has presented a number
of workshops at IFS annual conferences. He also teaches classes on
Communication from the Heart, based on IFS, interactive groups, and the Pattern

He is nationally known for his
innovation in the group psychotherapy field. His book, Interactive Group
Therapy: Integrating Interpersonal, Action-Oriented, and Psychodynamic
Approaches, Brunner/Mazel, describes his group therapy method in which people
learn interpersonal relationship skills by working directly on their

Change Agent Coaching, on finding your life purpose and making a difference in
the world. He has been writing about and leading workshops on Life Purpose

Jay has created the Pattern System, a
method for understanding interpersonal behavior and its underlying psychological
issues, which is compatible with IFS. It is used for personal growth,
understanding relationships, and interpersonal assessment and treatment in
psychotherapy.
In Jay's work with people, he is known
for his empathy and his ability to understand a client's feelings, issues, and
world view without imposing his own personality or agenda. His insight into
human motivation and psychological patterns enables him to help people
understand both their strengths and how they block themselves from getting what
they want. Because of his own life-long journey of personal growth, his
interest in the nature of human consciousness, and his success in creating a
passionate and satisfying life for himself, his clients trust him to understand
their struggles and spiritual longings, and to support their search for
excitement and meaning in life.
Jay has a Ph.D. in psychology from
Saybrook Graduate School and is a graduate of the Gestalt Institute of San
Francisco. He is a licensed psychologist in California (PSY6973) and a
Certified Group Therapist. He has been in private practice as a psychotherapist
working with individuals, couples, and groups since 1973.
Jay's commitment to his own personal
development has led him to participate in a wide variety of therapeutic and
growth endeavors over the years. He has a loving, successful 20 year marriage
and professional partnership with Bonnie Weiss. He has studied with Richard
Olney, Jean Houston, Joanna Macy, and Richard Schwartz. He is a long-time
student of the Diamond Approach of A. H. Almaas, a spiritual path that
integrates psychotherapy insights and techniques with wisdom traditions in a
unique Western approach to spiritual realization.
As a result of his research on human
social evolution and its relationship to our current global predicament, Jay
has published a number of articles plus the book, Transforming Human Culture:
Social Evolution and the Planetary Crisis, SUNY Press.
Other Reviews: Biz Times, Young Up Starts
As an author,I believe that procrastination is most commonly associated with the fear of success. When you fear success you tend to put as many roadblocks,and challenges ahead on your path because of your fear of the change that will be connected with possible success.
