Finding Your Strength in Difficult Times Paperback – May 9, 2003

This little book is full of wisdom that David Viscott gained over his career. He was an exceptionally sharp psychiatrist, able to hone in on a person's issues with speed and accuracy. I have had several copies of this book because I often find someone who needs it and I give it away. It is small enough to fit in a purse or backpack. Each topic is pithy and the reader can turn to any page and learn something new each time he/she reads the topic. Or, you can use the Table of Contents to choose a topic that interests you. I carry it with me and when I have to wait, I'll start reading it again. Here's an example of a quote from the book, "I am always at the beginning of discovering something wonderful about myself." I love this little gem.

Such a good book! So many pearls of wisdom that every human walking this earth should listen to and live by. Helped me through a very challenging time in life and continues to be a source of guidance every day.

I have ordered numerous copies of this little book as I keep giving my copy away to friends and associates that might also find some answers to problems within its pages.This is simple, logical wisdom to apply in any of a multitude of problems or situations and provides answers and solutions that work. Its wisdom is presented in a few short paragraphs but is right on target. I can pick up this little book and turn to any page and find no nonsense answers that work in every day life. Sometimes the answers are like a slap in the face - just a gentle one - kind of like a wake up call.This book is never far from my hand.

I bought this book because I really wanted something inspiring to read since I'm having a hard time now with some things. I love it! It's a nice small size so I carry it with me in my purse every day and read from it all the time. It has a lot of little chapters such as "Being Happy", "Don't Give up" and my favorite "Unreasonable People". This book has been very helpful to me and I pull it out and read from it whenever I need inspiration. I definitely recommend this book!

This is a great little guide to life at large. After a number of years I came back to it and found it just as relevant and insightful as before.The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is not for the content, rather the book itself. With continued reading your copy will curl up on itself, and this is quite bothersome. Instead, take it to your local office store and have them cut off the binding and spiral bind it. That way it will lay flat and will continue to be readable over time.Highly recommended.

I've purchased a dozen or so copies of this book, and have given them to friends, as well as clients, when he or she is looking for inner strength to cope during crisis without getting sucked into another's human dynamic.I encourage using the book's table of contents to address specific issues at hand.Each meditation is succinct, allowing clarity from critical thought. My take on it is that it presents the issue so that the reader cannot run or hide - that is, if he or she is ready to address the issue and pursue a resolution...

David Viscott's work is a must for anyone trying to find themselves or going through a difficult time. I love this book and have purchased many as gifts for friend's. This book is a collection of motivating quotes and you can randomly open the book and read a page or two... I have many of Viscott's work because he explains why you feel the emotions you do feel and guides you to understanding yourself and in turn this makes your life so much better. This is a must for everyone!

It's rare to find a book that speaks to you on EVERY page, but this one did just that. David Viscott was an amazing man, with a gifted writing style that will truly be missed. I recommend this little gem for anyone who is going through, as the title suggests, difficult times. No matter what type of difficulty you are facing, there is insight to be gained and motivation to be experienced inside....I can only speak for myself, but for me it was invaluable!

Good stufft

I can't talk about this book enough! I have gifted it to my so many friends of mine. There is absolutely no rubbish motivational talks in this book. It's simple, straight forward FACTS about almost everything that if you apply will give you extremely positive result and if you don't, you will face consequences. The language used is simple and straight forward. It's just like how a father will tell things about life to his son or daughter. I always keep it with me. This book guide me every time I have doubts in taking any decision.

This book is a gift for everyone who wants to "listen" to wise and useful words whenever they need. Dr. Viscott knows how to be smart, lovely and franc at the same time.
