When I formulated “The Final Cut”, the 4th Edition updates for the Book, I thought I impacted all areas of the Book which I wanted to or needed update… However, I did not realize at the time I had an embedded Invalid “I Can’t” on my part as written in section 1.1 , or an Invalid “I am not 100% sure” attitude written in section 1.1, item 1), but somewhat amended in section 1.9 of the Book… After “The Final Cut” publication (5/15/19), when I evaluated matters within the Book, including the Huge/Positive Impacts seen with Book in Hand for People I have come across over time, that made it CLEAR, the Book’s Total TRUE Self-Help Process, is MORE Effective a Process than the Positivity Tools/Skills CBT Program Process I LEARNED from! This Book, in Whole, encompasses 100% of Our Needs for Mental Health vs. really only about 40% of the Gameplan in Life of what it Takes per the Positivity Process  Process as a stand-alone approach!  WE NEED MORE, SHORING UP OUR FOUNDATION & OUR CONNECTION WITH GOD WHICH INVOLVES THE BASIS OF OUR POSITIVITY WHEN GET THAT RIGHT!!!  We Can’t build up our Positivity Over time on Shaky Ground or else we Crumble!!!  This is aside of the fact the Book does includes Add’l Positivity Process related elements & additional Material which can only Help!

Specifically, & hence in section 1.1 , Item 2) towards the Tail end of the 1st paragraph, as written:

“…..Guess what path I had to follow, when I was truly at Rock Bottom in my Life? Written material alone was not good enough since I was so desperate, anxious, and perplexed, and I was not really in a state of mind to be able to read or comprehend things in my A & D saturated mind.  Of course, I did not have this Book in hand.  But even if I did, as bad as I was feeling, I would likely have fallen into this category 2), and ordered Lucinda’s (Midwest Center’s) program which is consistent with the fact the “Attacking Anxiety and Depression Program” was geared to and was advertised for those most afflicted.”

But as written in section 1.1 Item 1):

1. “Contact me at RonnyLG123@gmail.com, and I will try to respond promptly, to initially work with you and help guide you (with no expected fees in return –Seriously!). Depending on your situation, upfront coaching is sometimes necessary before you can start working this on your own.   If you are reluctant about contacting me, which should never be the case, it is suggested to start listening to the Relaxation Media (i.e. the 2 links provided in section 5.3.1, or purchase from iTunes or Amazon (MP3 download) if desired), and read the corresponding section 5.3.1 text Only; this would be the only time and only jump ahead section that I would ever recommend up front (Period) unless maybe if I communicated matters with you directly.  This Relaxation media will help calm the mind and body to an extent that may help you begin the process to read and comprehend this material.  And if this works  and you are feeling better and calmer, and feel okay to continue, then please read the whole Book from start to finish starting from the beginning; continue to use the Relaxation media.”

Yeah, I Know Now, what written in 1.1,  item 2), is clearly an Invalid “I Can’t” when I wrote the Original publication which, interestingly, I was not sure of at that time… Since then what I have witnessed, per the Huge Positive Impacts on People I came across, who were just as Bad off as I was (e.g. 9/1/15 & 3/3/20 Reviewers), & who were Willing to Read & Work on themselves, as evaluated & posted per link above,  clearly indicated How Powerful this Book has become & Is!!! 

Yeah, & also, I do provide Free Cheerleading for anyone who gets the Book (paperback or e-Book one way or another).  The Cheerleading is optional, but it can be helpful in providing early Tidbits to those Interested & some Early Motivation, similar to what Lucinda provides in the Self-Help Program of hers I LEARNED from… So, when we are Very Anxious to begin with, as I was early in life, what we may need up front to begin the Process, other than some of that early Motivation which is likely helpful, although the Book as written is Motivating to begin with, Most Importantly we  start off with the Relaxation Media early/up front from the get go which is exactly what I address in section 1.1, Item 1)… Yes, this is imperative in our early Conditioning needs to begin to calm down the mind & body, to be able to tune into our inner thoughts Better in process & to allow us to begin to Read & Comprehend material in Process … Now, that is exactly what I had as well & nothing more really other than Lucinda’s Motivation (which as stated is provided in the Book as written, or individually if you desire ), to begin the Read/Working of the Program’s Workbook I Learned from… So Ditto Really in the Conditioning needs with no differences!  So the Book Is Complete & meant for All Regardless of How Bad off we feel we are!

& as you were to Read in section 1.9, this essentially corrects my way of thinking on these matters other than the “(?)” written in (below) which is invalid as well:

“An Individual’s reading comprehension ability, associated with their struggles with Anxiety and Depression, may be a deciding factor in determining the effectiveness of working this Book vs Lucinda’s (Midwest Center’s) program, although the program has a workbook which needs to be read and worked similarly (?).  Section 1.1, item 1), includes an approach which I believe would support improved reading comprehension  for sufferers, up front, to allow them to initiate the Process via this Book (i.e. to start off with  the Relaxation media,  as instructed in 1.1, from the get go). ” 

So Yeah from what I Know now is this section, per this paragraph & a couple more to follow could be written with Much More Assurance although, Obviously I was on the Right Track as written! 

One more thing of Importance which I Stress in the Book as written are those human mistakes to avoid as I bring up time & time again “like a broken record”, realizing the Biggest flaw going thru the Process is matters of Impatience which Significantly Impacted me as I raced thru the Process, “in like world record time”, & missed a few Key Points in Process which did set me back every now then for Seriously like 10 yrs!  Consequently had a slew of unnecessary ups & downs along the way which could have been avoided if tuned into the Instructions which are Clearly written within the Book! & I make it Very Clear, Don’t make the same mistakes I made!!!… & Stick to this Process & take it in “hook, line & sinker”… Cause, there is Absolutely Not a Better Approach for our Mental Health!!!

Anyway, it is important to Understand, the Book’s  Process is Everything we Need for our Mental Health & is an Optimum TRUE Self-Helper, meant for anyone really, whether be if Struggle or Suffer Significantly, or are just Average Emotionally bothered by negative thinking ways at times as we all do, Living in a rather negative world & society, surrounded by negativity at times!  But Yeah, in Total the Book’s Process is the Answer/ the Solution for our Mental Health Needs for Matters within our Control, & for Matters outside our Control,  i.e. the Book’s section 4, Our Faith, Our Foundation, & Our Connection with God (& Jesus if Christian as I am).

Take Xtra Care & God Bless!
