It's OK to be Neurotic: Using Your Neuroses to Your Advantage

Nobody understands me . . . if something can go wrong it will . . . I always feel blue . . . I can’t relax . . .

A neurosis exists if an individual suffers chronic anxiety that is out of proportion to reality. More than 20 million people suffer from some type of neurosis, and they’re looking for answers.

It’s OK to Be Neurotic is a revolutionary book that presents readers with twenty psychological strategies to help them channel their neuroses and achieve positive goals. In a straightforward, easy-to-read style, author Frank Bruno, Ph.D., offers useful advice to help readers turn neurotic weaknesses into strengths. Dr. Bruno himself copes effectively with anxiety and he draws from his personal experiences—as well as his thirty years as a psychotherapist—to help readers not only understand their neuroses, but also benefit from their condition.

Dr. Bruno shows readers how to:

· Learn the advantages of being neurotic
· Harness ambitions to maximize life
· Break bad habits without breaking themselves
· Cope with neurotic conflict
· Convert life’s lemons into lemonade

With myriad case studies, prescriptive self-quizzes, and easy tips and strategies for success, It’s OK to Be Neurotic is the only book available to help readers realize that they may have a neurosis—but it doesn’t have them.
