Thank you.""I have been feeling bad for a long time in my adult life. The fall 2016 was probably the worst ever. I could not manage my studies to become a lawyer and my relationship was suffering heavily. Basically, my whole existence was dominated by unrest. Your book introduced me to a new way to look at the thinking and quite soon I experienced enormous improvements.""In the beginning of January, I read your book and much fell into place. Suddenly I understood that what my friends, my girlfriend, and my therapist had been doing for me was wrong.""The psychologist Olle Wadström has written this fantastic book. He gives us a toolbox that can take us out of our anguish.
