A practical guide to keeping fit - in mind as well as in body. For many, joy in life is at times diminished by too much worry, by periods of depression or by other disturbing moods. The demands of modern life keep up a pressure which constantly threatens psychological well-being. Keeping psychologically fit will help us withstand these demands and give us flexibility and stamina to make the most of ourselves. After discussing the foundations on which their ideas are based the authors describe in a practical way the basic strategies or skills which will enable readers to take positive control of their lives and develop fulfilling relationships. Specific and practical guidance is given about ways of overcoming anxiety and depression, the two big killers of pleasure and confidence, along with guidlelines on looking after those aspects of the body that most closely relate to the mind.
