If you're in a good place in your life, how do you stay there? If you're in a bad place in your life, how do you get out of it? Here's how ... On RTÉ's hit show, Operation Transformation psychologist Dr Eddie Murphy is the reassuring contrast to the hard-nosed nutrition and exercise experts. He works with participants to identify the emotional impact of their unhealthy lifestyles and to come up with workable strategies to help them manage stress and emotional issues. His work leads to many light-bulb moments and is crucial to helping participants achieve their goals. Now, Eddie shares his methods for building up and maintaining good mental health and a positive outlook. He explains simple ways we can keep our busy lives in balance and cope with the many demands on our time and energy. And he also explains how faulty thinking and behaviour patterns sustain problems such as panic attacks, depression, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. Tackling these patterns will give us the tools to break free from negative emotions and beliefs. Becoming Your Real Self offers simple but amazingly effective tools for being the best we can be and also for identifying unhelpful habits that we can change. With Becoming Your Real Self as your bible, you will be able to release yourself from the tyranny of negative emotions and embrace the life you want and deserve.
