4/5 Stars (%75/100) I really liked it and I could say some parts of the book actually made me open my eyes to certain situations in my life. The book was recommended to me by the YouTube channel "Kurzgesagt" and I wanted to check it out and see if it could help me or not. I did not have any expectations as I don't really like reading self-help books nor I enjoy them when I do read. I really liked that Winch is very straightforward about how he presents his ideas. It goes like this: Psychological injury is introduced, how it actually injures you, many examples are given from real life, and finally some tips for treating the injury. The structure is the same for all 7 of these injuries. I highlighted many parts and I will probably come back to the book from time to time. I also plan to use some of these treatments for myself and also for people I care about. Here's a short summary but I would highly suggest you to read it yourself because these cannot be explained in few sentences. Winch did a great job with the treatment sections. 1-Rejection: The Emotional Cuts and Scrapes of Daily Life Treatments: -Argue with self-criticism -Revive your self-worth -Replenish feelings of social connection -Desensitize yourself 2-Loneliness: Relationship Muscle Weakens Treatments: -Remove your negatively tinted glasses -Identify your self-defeating behaviors -Take on the other person's perspective -Deepen your emotional bonds -Create opportunities for social connection -Adopt a best friend 3-Loss and Trauma: Walking on Broken Bones Treatments: -Soothe your emotional pain your way -Recover lost aspects of your self -Find meaning in tragedy 4-Guilt: The Poison in Our System Treatments: -Learn the recipe for an effective apology -Forgive yourself -Reengage in life 5-Rumination: Picking at Emotional Scabs Treatments: -Change your perspective -Reframe the anger -Go easy on your friends 6-Failure: How Emotional Chest Colds Become Psychological Pneumonias Treatments: -Get support and get real -Focus on factors in your control -Take responsibility and own the fear -Distract yourself from performance pressure distractions 7-Low Self-Esteem: Weak Emotional Immune Systems Treatments: -Adopt self-compassion and silence the critical voices in your head -Identify your strengths and affirm them -Increase your tolerance for compliments -Increase your personal empowerment -Improve your self-control
