He touches people's lives both professionally and personally on a daily basis with such warmth and generosity. I do not know of another therapist that puts so much into their clients getting better." Dr. Anna Forbes BMedSci(Hons), MBBS, DHP, MDCH, DipSIMIntegrative Medical Doctor in Mental Health"There are, literally, hundreds of thousands of self-help books published each year - but Thrive is one of the best. The book first takes you through a process of self-exploration to highlight the psychological areas in which you are not 'thriving'. Then it explains, simply and directly, the underpinnings of 'why', and the 'how' of changing. The book's impressive not only because it covers such a wide range of issues and problems, not only because its theory is methodically evidence-based, but also because the solutions offered are practical, workable and powerful. In addition, Rob Kelly writes well - accessibly, persuasively, and sometimes laugh-out-loud humorously; his approach is neither airy-fairy nor fluffy, but robust, sensible and effective. Apparently the book can be used alone or as an adjunct to work with Rob or one of his trained facilitators; whichever, it's a great buy. " Susan M Quilliam"I bought this bought as part of the Thrive course and use it every day. It really is a worthwhile investment and would recommend it to anyone looking for the ultimate self-help book." Philippa Scobie"I have just completed the Thrive book. I had suffered from depression, social anxiety and low self esteem for ever! And had read so many self help books, had acupuncture, CBT, counselling, medication etc etc, but none of them really helped long term. The Thrive book has totally changed my way of thinking. It is so simple when you know how! For the first time in my life I am actually living." CB Thompson
