NOTE: This Post took this info only so far & realized I wanted to alter to address the Importance of the Substance (identifying Key Aspects) of this Book & Process & Book’s Effectiveness including, most Importantly, what witnessed with Book in Hand only for those I have come across… Hence this Blog Post addresses these matters : https://riseandshineanxietydepression.net/2020/03/10

Below FYI is what shared before 5/5/20.  This does bring in additional insight regarding the 3/3/20 Book reviewer in the blue above… And below that I share related text from the Book concerning some People I did come across earlier in time & the Huge Impacts I witnessed…

Regular black text in this blog post involves text as written in the Book… Blue text involves additional 

Currently Helping Individual fielding some questions etc. on Book… A Dad of 3 youngins … an Exec… Owner of a Business…. But he has been Suffering Big time with Anxiety & Depression for a solid 3 1/2 months he mentions, but really thru the years as it was for me… He was also diagnosed with OCD…He got a freebie Ebook giveaway during the Holidays I do at times…. He finally contacted me after getting it since he was going thru therapy with a Dr./PHD, focusing in on that, but then he got to a very low he said… But now after talking to him some, He is Locked in and YES, Diligently READING & Working on Himself with Book in Hand… Book is Completely Self-Explanatory, & TRUE Self-Help. 2 weeks in, he just finished section 5.2 … The Initial Conditioning Loaded 1st week’s step… From that training alone, his wife had  told him “I really Like the New You!” …  I told him, sounds good but really you will find Recovery is 2 steps forward & 1 step back… He understands that now :). 

I have been providing up front Encouragement/ Cheer Leading, which is the only coaching necessary, as this True Self-Help Book he is Working from is Complete & Covers All… He just completed all of section 5 comprising the Conditioning & Basic/Key Tools/Skills per the Positivity Process, & he no longer needs any more Encouragement from me, since he is Locked in and Excited about continuing this Process, & hence is now Self Motivated :)… He Knows this is the Solution, as I Certainly did as well, when I was going thru the Process years back. Upfront Helping hand provided was Important since he was in a very dark place for like 3 1/2 months he said, as he had been apparently dealing with a PHD/Psychiatrist/Therapist for like 5 or 6 years to no avail and found himself in a pretty deep hole… Considering he just completed the first 4 weeks of training (by the Book), & he has about 8 more weeks to go to Completion, he is doing SOOO GOOD :)! I Couldn’t be more Pleased for him as I Know He Is Going to Fly with this, as I did !!! When I talked to him 2/29/20,  I could really sense the Changes going on within him, already being more confident/secure in his demeanor… It was pretty obvious & So Cool :)! Yeah, before long he will be providing a Good Solid + Review. Will let you know… Besides he’ll be able to start weaning off his meds he is currently taking (ref: Book section 3.1 … i.e. in baby steps)  :)! … Oh Yeah, this Individual did provide a comment to the 1 star review I received… Go to this link and read the 1 star review and now 2 comments provided (one is his & other is mine):   [[[  https://www.amazon.com/RISE-SHINE-Anxiety-Depression-Management/product-reviews/1499010036   ]]]

Alls I Know, 100% for those who  had the Willingness/Desire to Educate/Read (this Book) & Work on themselves,  the Positive Impacts witnessed were Huge to Life Savings actually… It is now 4 for 4 with Book in Hand… This is not to mention the Life Savings impacts this had on my Son (Bipolar type 2 “Meds for Life the Pros said, but is off all the MEDS & doing Beautifully) & I (diagnosed with A & D & OCD Worse Case for 25 yrs, to now couldn’t do any better as a human :))… This is a True Measure, Effectiveness & Substance of the Process I Learned from and, & even more so  the Book and what it has Grown to be, providing Full Positivity Tools/Skills Instruction set & Details per what Learned & Key Additions applied, besides the All Important Sect. 4 … Our Faith, Our Foundation/ Our #1 Dependence & the Basis of Our Positivity… Book merges Positivity Tools/Skills together with Our Faith including combining the two aspects in All Important, All Powerful Positivity/Prayer Statements, which become such as Work on the Positivity Process & Our Faith… Section 4 is a Personal Journey but address what I do to allow Faith to Appropriately Grow… i.e. Read a New Testament Chapter Daily together with a “Jesus Always” Sarah Young Daily Devotional Book… Oh, I am Christian but do not discriminate against any Faith or Religion as written in Spirituality section 4.1 First paragraph (Blog Post provides: https://riseandshineanxietydepression.net/2020/02/14 .

One key point to address up front here is, as you will read below, the 1st Young Lady I got the Book to (in a 2nd Edition form), who provided my 1st Amazon review (dated : 9/1/15… You can read that per first link provided above), was Very Spiritual at a young age, but suffered Terribly with A & D for Understandable reasons… She Definitely needed the Positivity Tools/Skills Process to crack open that negative shell that can consume an individual, as was the case for me as well, & similarly the Gent I am currently dealing with, who has rather strong Spiritual/Religious ties. Regardless, section 4 of my Book being at least half the Game in Life, if you consider Life a Game, is a Must, since Gots to have that Strong Foundation/FAITH & Dependence on Our Higher Power to Solidify all matters concerning Our Well Being & Positivity!  Without that Strong Foundation, the Positivity Tools/Skills can just take you so far for so long, & then likely Troubles will raise it’s ugly head, as was the case for my Son who took quite a long time to Truly Acknowledge sect. 4’s Importance… Now He is Locked In, and again doing Beautifully :)!

———————————————————————————————————————————–

Paragraph in 1. Introduction/Rationale addressing Positive Impacts with Book in hand only for (3) individuals…:

“As far as impacts of the Book with Book in hand only for People I have personally witnessed, I have seen Tremendous Positive results +, and Yes even to the extent of being Life Saving while living at an apartment complex a while back.  This was a rather social environment around the pool area, and I swam pretty much every day (the luxury of living in CA :)), keeping those endorphins a swimming/flowing :).  I did get to know a number of People there… By the time I left the complex to live elsewhere, where I am now, some were calling me the mayor for whatever reason :), probably because of my frequency in the pool/Jacuzzi, and my many grey hairs :); otherwise, not sure why (?)…  I was just being me … Anyway, Seriously, for Everyone I know who received my Book, and who did obviously Read and Work It, based on the before vs. after reactions/demeanor changes I witnessed, the Positive Impacts were Impressive ++!  To see the initial Power of this TRUE Self-Help Book (per the 2nd and 3rd Editions), in the hands of two Young Ladies I came across, after about 2 1/2 months (ironically), from when initially getting the Book in both cases, not knowing how quickly they began working it, Validated Everything about its Effectiveness and why I wrote this Book!  I Was Absolutely Blown Away :) twice over as things went!  One of those Ladies provided their review on Amazon (dated 9/1/2015).  As for this Young Lady, seeing her Improve ++ from having Significant levels of Anxiety and Depression for very understandable reasons, to having all this Positivity, Confidence, and Assertive nature towards people in her Life she had to be Assertive with (!) … well I really kind of lost it in the most Positive way :) … lost a lot of water that day and I had to reach way down to grab my heart it seemed, and put it back in place… Yeah, again, this did Absolutely Blow Me Away ++!! As for the other 20 something year old Lady, there were similarities in Confidence and Positivity (besides how she was carrying herself) coming from her as well. But to see her in that state following that time period, after we (with help from assistant manager), had to call the paramedics on her due to an apparent suicide in works (her body temp was 93-94 deg F), likewise Blew Me Away!…  I Am and Felt So Humbled and Beyond! But, it is entirely up to the individual to put the work forth, doing the repetitive training, to reap the Benefits from this Education which can be nothing short of Tremendous, and to stick with it, since it is a way of Life, for Life, in how we operate and react to things!  Besides, gots to have Our Faith :)! I do address a couple more cases witnessed at the apartment complex I lived at, on the Amazon site for the Book as the overview of Book addresses, which were likewise Eye Opening, especially for a 17-18 year older who I came across … This teen/young adult was panicky as he talked to me … After 1 month, 7 days of getting it (in a plumbed up 3rd edition form), diving into it, Obviously, it Positively had a Dramatic impact on his whole demeanor, from being So fearful,  to being Excited! … I remember that same feeling after about a month and half of working the corresponding program I received, I felt that switch of Positivity being hit within me for the first time ever it seemed… In All, I felt/Feel Blessed living this and witnessing these Impacts!! Witnessing all this, again, completely Validated Everything about the Power of this Book that I thought it might be when I first wrote it …”

Regarding the Young Lady we had to call the paramedics on… I ran into her in the complex just about 2 yrs after that incident occurred… I could tell she did not seem to be doing as Good as she was reflecting before… But it became obvious why as I talked to her… She did not Allow her Faith to Grow and was not in sync with section 4 of the Book… Hence, that is why she was struggling, Plain & Simple!  As for the 17-18 year older I came across, he did not have spiritual/religious ties when first met him but seemed to be Receptive to that… Anything to get better he felt at the time.

…………………………………………….

And further on down in this same section 1. Introduction/Rationale: 

“…….As you will read in the Introduction/Rationale, the first young lady I came across, who completely blew me away when I witnessed the Huge Positive Impacts the Book (in the 2nd edition form) had on her (with Book in hand only), was a Significant A & D sufferer and was Very Spiritual for her age (early 20s); in truth, I don’t think I ever met someone more Spiritual than she seemed at that young age… I thought She was all So Very Special and Golden (!) …  But Yes, she desperately needed the Book’s Education and the Positivity Tools/Skills Process to turn matters around for her; just like it was for me. ….”

Something related which I also address in the 1. Introduction/Rationale & also repeated in section 4. (…Allow Faith to Grow in essence): 

“I do often refer to the Positivity Tools/Skills Process (i.e. Book’s majority in page count only) to be a Stepping Stone, or an Enhancement of Faith!  This Process would allow negative thinking Individuals a Quicker Path to allow One’s Faith to Grow, as we put those Positivity Tools/Skills in the Book in play, Clearing Up Our minds from all the negative clutter, and allowing Our Thoughts to be Clear.  Isn’t it understood, when we are Positive vs. negative, and we are Clear of Mind, Our Connection to Everything in and around us just seems to be So Much Better vs. when we are negative? Of Course it does or is, needless to say!  Hence, this Positivity Process does allow our Connection with the “Big Picture” (God), to become Stronger and Stronger, and Deeper and Deeper as we progress!  This is Certainly what I experienced…!” 

Suggest to go to this link and read the Customer Reviews including the “1 star review” and the 2 subsequent comments provided (one from Gent I am currently providing a helping hand to, & the other is my comment):   [[[  https://www.amazon.com/RISE-SHINE-Anxiety-Depression-Management/product-reviews/1499010036   ]]] 

Regarding the first (4) Customer Reviews received … Yeah, you read above about my first one 9/1/15…  As for the 3/23/16 review, that is from  another young Lady I met in that same apartment complex.  At the time she did not yet do the Work, but now she is a newbie Mom (:)), and sounds like she is going to start Digging in. Not only for herself, but for her Daughter as well, as she  grows, knowing what written would be a Tremendous flow-down of info/tidbits down to her as she matures; besides this would be a Tremendous Read/Education for her during those 16, 17 + teen years or later in Life. Unfortunately, due to some apparent Amazon/customer issues or?, that 3/23/16 review was dropped… I contacted the Young Lady Reviewer and there was no Intentional deletion on her part although she had to submit that review at the time per her Mom’s account “Nancie” since did not have her own at the time…  4/19/16 review is from a past Co-Worker, about 20-30 years ago, who I kept in contact with, who I would not have suspected having such Issues, as he never thought that about me… The review 4/11/16, is from a young Lady I know who struggled as a teen, and struggled with her parents through the years for understandable reasons.  She is now doing Beautifully with a Daughter of her own, and they have a Strong/Solid relationship …  Oh, and yeah, I never did a good job asking for reviews, & reviews for a Book like this, do not come easy, unless, if ya pay for them which I would never do… 4/14/20 Update: Received another 5 star review 4/14/20 entitled “Hope. The only person that will get you to your level of success is yourself”:”The importance of preparing your mind and your thinking for the journey of personal change is the key message of this book. This book is a must-read! Do not wait around for anyone, take action!” Well Said :)!

Seriously, I don’t think it is possible for Anything to Be Better in Effectiveness & Substance as a True Self-Help Book… & Don’t think anyone has put this much Time, Love, & Effort in Anything like this to Help Change Peoples Lives!

Have a Beautiful & Blessed Day!
