Product Description

Striving to overcome our worst behaviors with sheer willpower or by repressing them does not work—they keep popping back up and biting us. But there is hope. In this no-nonsense, relevant book, Douglas Weiss, who has made a career of "telling it like it is," helps readers identify and discern the sources of their worst behaviors. Using stories, case studies, personal experience, Scripture, and anecdotes, he makes strong points about emotional and psychological roots and the need for change.

Topics in Get a Grip include: • Worst behavior self assessment • Strategies for besting worst behaviors • Honesty • Deciding to change • Repentance • Forgiveness • Avoiding occasions for bad behavior • Doing the right thing

Get a Grip offers spiritual and psychological strategies to release readers from the compulsive habits of negative behaviors and then explains how to turn them into strengths.

Customer Reviews

Get a Grip
I think this is an excellent book for anyone struggling, and really desiring to address some difficult "internal" issues. Dr. Weiss's pace and process are very helpful. Even, just reflecting upon the concepts can be of benefit to the reader.

Some of the examples sound either contrived, or oversimplified, but the focus of the book is not on them, it is on the reader.

Good luck, God Bless.
