The Tools
Book • 2012
In 'The Tools,' Phil Stutz and Barry Michels present a unique approach to therapy that focuses on immediate solutions rather than dwelling on the past.
The book introduces five tools: The Reversal of Desire, Active Love, Inner Authority, Grateful Flow, and Jeopardy.
Each tool is associated with a 'Higher Force' and is designed to help individuals face pain, break free from negative thoughts, and cultivate gratitude and willpower.
The authors draw from their decades of psychotherapeutic practice and provide clear steps for using these tools to achieve mental health and spiritual well-being.
