"Psychologist Dr. Godley's new book, Four Principles for Facing Life's Challenges: A Guide for Making Choices that Build Life Satisfaction, is a gem. Although based on sound psychological principles and science, she has managed to create a fun-to-read self-help book that will appeal to everyone. Her use of numerous interesting and enlightening stories to illustrate her points on how to live a more productive and fulfilling life will resonate with young and old alike. Readers will see a number of ways they can apply the ideas outlined in the book to effectively manage the difficulties and problems that occur in their daily lives. The concise steps necessary to change non-adaptive behavioral habits are clearly outlined in each chapter.
"While there are many self-help books on the market, it is rare to find one that has such a universal appeal as this easy-to-read book. As a psychologist myself, I have often found self-help books to be limited in their scope and not engaging. Dr. Godley has blended her professional clinical experiences with sound psychological theory to provide useful suggestions for self-improvement in an entertaining and informative manner. I highly recommend her book for your reading enjoyment and better understanding of four basic principles leading to a more productive and happy life."
