Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The catastrophic over-diagnosis of ‘neurosis’ in these trying times is taken to task, lest all end up as ‘neurotics’ for good. This book was not only more personal and heartfelt than its predecessor, but also had a slightly more authentic tone throughout. One can almost see the wisdom of this man's conscience develop from the previous book 12 Rules for Life, to this book Beyond Order. Much of it is indeed a rephrasing and rehashing of his previous book, but a great deal is refreshingly novel and some things even just straight unexpected. One might feel like a hero of heroes just by reading certain aspects and 'scenes' of the book. Anyone who found 12 rules for life beneficial is almost sure to find this also, as one might say, an added layer of gold knightly armor to lay upon the previous layer. In addition if you or someone you know or love, is involved with benzodiazepines or other anti-psychotic medications, or is struggling with them, then this book will help you understand how you are not alone regarding such serious and sometimes even, life and death serious; problems. The attention drawn to the societal ignorance regarding benzodiazepines and other (potentially) dangerous medication is brought to the fore. Hits Hard On the inevitableness of both anxiety and acute depression as an ever present and eternal threat that only the ‘Hero within’ can slay. Anxiety does not imply the ‘Need’ for anti-psychotics. Anxiety is normal phenomenon and can easily be a necessary precursor to further development,(one’s unconscious simply demanding that you start exercising for example!) and not, as many say, pathological, and these points are driven home perhaps better than any other.
