The Pathway

The Pathway: Follow the Road to Health and Happiness

Summary:

Two simple skills — self-nurturing and effective limit setting — are at the roots of personal balance. Studies show that when people master these two skills, the whole range of common excesses fades away. They lose weight without diets or drugs and keep it off years later. What’s more, they say they are happier and healthier than they have ever been and that these skills were the “missing link” in their lives. Many psychotherapists say this method will soon supersede all current healing methods for one reason: it works!

The Pathway shows you how to use the method that was developed over the last twenty years at one of the nation’s most prestigious medical schools — and why it works. There is a warm, wonderful community of support for mastering these skills in Solution Groups across the country and on the Internet, as well as a complete Solution course. As you read this book, you will find yourself using the skills and starting on the pathway to your own Solution.
