Re-Thinking Shrinking: The Half-Truth High:
Breaking the Illusions of the Most Powerful Drug In Life & Business
by Kevin J. Fleming, PH.D. is a courageous, insightful and
groundbreaking look at the psychology industry.
The Half-Truth High: Breaking the Illusions
of the Most Powerful Drug In Life & Business (ISBN-10:
0595457088 ) by Kevin J. Fleming, PH.D. is a
courageous
insightful and groundbreaking look at the psychology industry. Dr.
Fleming (The INC Shrink) is President/CEO of an international
consulting psychology firm(www.effectiveexecutivecoaching.com). He
has been featured in The New York Times and The Christian
Science Monitor and is a columnist on "Transformations" for the
high-end magazine Executive Decision.
In The Half-Truth High: Breaking the Illusions of the Most
Powerful Drug In Life & Business, Dr. Fleming is honest, direct
and thought provoking. He writes that psychology is "full of half
truths." What is a half truth? In a recent interview the
author says, "the difference between what is important and what
is essential. That gap between the two, in my words and in my book,
is the half truth high---that addictive part of us all that makes us
turn around from the essential and befriend what is important and
make that all there is."
The author points out that most troubled people he has known have
been in therapy for years, and it
accomplished little if anything at all. What makes this outrageous
is some of these people "…were also advanced academic students of
psychology, or psychiatry."
The Half-Truth High is organized by the six half truths of
Psychology, Business, Religion and the World. Dr. Flemming's writing
is clear and well organized. He presents the truth's to the other
half of the "half Truth's" and the reader will finish the book more
aware and enlightened. Fleming writes "Don't settle for half a life
when a full one is just waiting for you to show up and live it.
Don't settle for a half-asked life." The author says, "An
understanding of reality for that will win out all the time. It is
more a keen understanding to that that will lead us to truth,
whether that comes through advice or not. To be able to truly
discern whether the advice we gave today was authentically
applied to us. And whether the advice we gave we truly feel is more
for someone else and not us, if not, why? These are the meta-level
questions we need to be asking....understanding the advice about our
advice....that's more critical to making change happen out there and
in us."
The Half-Truth High: Breaking the Illusions of the Most Powerful
Drug In Life & Business is an important book that stands out on a
bookshelve full of self help books. This book helps you understand
what all of the other books don't tell you. Dr. Flemming has
delivered a trailblazing, honest look at the psychology industry.
This book is a must for everyone looking to improve their life and
know the difference between 'advice and achievement.'
Outstanding. Honest. Remarkable.
