AL CONTRARIO

Do you struggle with low mood, stress, anxiety, worry, self-criticism, or tangled relationships? You’re not alone. To deal with these issues, we often rely on strategies that seem logical, reasonable, and right. But they actually lead us completely astray. The solution, surprisingly for many, is to start behaving in ways that feel counterintuitive, odd, and even wrong. In other words—do the opposite. In this book, psychologist Stefan Pagréus shows you how, by ignoring your gut feeling and instead acting in the opposite way, you can feel better, be happier, less afraid, sleep better, stop overthinking, stress less, silence your inner critic, and build stronger relationships.
