Come smettere di farsi le seghe mentali e godersi la vita

Synopsis of Come smettere di farsi le seghe mentali e godersi la vita

«Come smettere di farsi le seghe mentali e godersi la vita» is the self-help manual by Giulio Cesare Giacobbe (Ponte alle Grazie, paperback, 121 pages).

Giacobbe draws on techniques from yoga, Buddhism and Zen to combat obsessive worries, the «seghe mentali», and regain contact with reality. The book describes anxious-depressive neurosis and champions humor as the first step to enjoying life and relationships with others again.

The work originally appeared in 2003. Giacobbe teaches Foundations of Eastern Psychological Disciplines at the University of Genoa.

For readers of self-help and mindfulness who want to tackle anxiety and self-criticism with a practical, light-hearted approach.
