Title: Reinventing Your Life: the bestselling breakthrough programme to end negative behaviour and feel great Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781912854356 Written by two of America’s leading psychologists — Jeffrey E. Young, PhD, and Janet S. Klosko, PhD — this bestselling book draws on the principles of cognitive therapy to explain why certain lifelong patterns continue to cause pain and underachievement. The authors map out a clear, structured programme that helps readers identify the root of their difficulties and take concrete steps toward change.

What makes this book different is its focus on "lifetraps": recurring emotional patterns that shape behaviour, relationships, and self-image. Young and Klosko describe eleven of the most common lifetraps, offering a simple diagnostic test for each so readers can pinpoint which traps are affecting them. Each chapter then provides step-by-step strategies to weaken the lifetrap, replace negative thoughts, and build healthier habits—without long-term traditional therapy or medication. Inside this paperback edition you’ll find: Clear lifetrap descriptions: Eleven common emotional patterns explained in everyday language. Diagnostic tests: Short, practical quizzes to identify which lifetraps apply to you. Actionable exercises: Cognitive-behavioural techniques and homework-style tasks to practice change. Real-world examples: Case studies that illustrate how the programme works in relationships, work, and self-esteem. A compassionate tone: Supportive guidance designed to empower rather than shame.
