MANILA, Philippines?I used to like fiction, but when I stopped going to school, I started reading self-help books. I didn?t want my mind to stay idle. I went through a stage of depression and panic. I became super sensitive. When I got these books, I realized that what I thought and felt were not always true. The book ?Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Dummies? (by Rob Willson and Rhena Branch) was very helpful. It?s actually an easy read. A friend suggested that I read ?The Art of War? (by Sun Tzu, edited by James Clavell) kasi ?di ako marunong makipag-away. ?Mind Power? (by Reader?s Digest) was a gift from my mom. It was in this book that I learned all about the other books that I mentioned. Marinel R. Cruz
