Following his divorce, former screenwriter turned therapist John Kim started blogging as 'The Angry Therapist' reflecting on his "F***ng Feelings". His blog evolved into an online life coaching community. What makes Kim's methods stand out from the standard therapist/psychologist etc. is the fact that he is transparent, i.e. he actually shares personal stories and feelings with clients. I found that immensely refreshing, and some of Kim's background and experience that he divulges throughout the book were really interesting and probably the highlights of the book for me. The subject of transparency goes against everything I was taught during my training, but I believe Kim is onto something here.
Some of his other ideas/approaches (the container, pseudo self versus solid etc.) you may well have come across before if you have an interest in psychology, mental health or self-help. Kim's no-nonsense style makes the book easy to read and follow, and it is very user-friendly with its helpful exercises and summaries. On a personal level, I got the most out of his ideas about non-negotiables. Need to work on those...
Overall, this is a useful guide if you're looking to make effective changes in your life and it provides readers with some helpful strategies in a straightforward way, it really is a no BS guide.
