Publisher's summary

Get on the path to being well.

We’re the most technologically advanced society in history, but we’ve never been more stressed, medicated, or lonely. We have 1,000 Facebook friends but no one to help us move our couch. The pace of life is making us exhausted.

We’re all carrying the weight of our trauma based on the stories we were told by others and the ones we tell ourselves—and those stories are like bricks in a backpack that keep us from being happy and healthy. In his new book, national best-selling author Dr. John Delony provides a clear, five-step path to being well.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Redefine what trauma is and how to identify it in your life.
  • Grieve and heal from past hurt and trauma.
  • Make friends as an adult—it’s not easy, but it is necessary.
  • Change your thoughts—it’s possible.
  • Assess and evaluate your actions—these can change too.

You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. Your thoughts and actions will be challenged. And if you take the steps John outlines, you’ll learn how to leave the past where it belongs and get on the path to healing.

Important, Powerful, and Not Magic Pill

Important, Powerful, and Not Magic Pill

Taking steps in this book isn't easy and painless. I've got work to do but also have some hope that the future can be bright and joy is still out there to be had. Is the book perfect and are the concepts going to agree with everyone, no.

It gets old to hear the harping on the same things - social media, video games, the internet - yet maybe that's because those can be damaging when used to hide the truth and action. I don't think that many of those things are categorically wrong, but need to be used purposefully and in moderation.

I believe listening and re-listening to this book then taking action will help me and I hope the same for you too.

Right time - Right season

This book, just like others, will not be for everyone. However, for me and my current season, it spoke volumes. You will not be disappointed and if you are struggling with stress, worry, and anxiety, this book offers the tools you need and will guide you on your journey.

Empowering reminders and truths

Dr. Delony, this book might very well change my life. I know a lot of it is up to me - to do and apply. But thank you for making sense of my deepest pains and struggles. Thank you for bringing clarity and explaining and plain English why I feel the way I feel… for years now. My future CAN be different than my past, and I plan to make it better. Thank you!

There is health and healing in this book.

This book was so good I will be listening to it *at least* twice, and I ordered a copy of it in print. There are parts that aren’t easy to listen to because it requires an honest look at your own heart, but it’s worth it to keep reading/listening and examine your wounds truthfully and allow genuine healing to begin. Thank you Dr. John Delony for this book.
