Synopses & Reviews
We all live our lives according to a set of rules that regulate our behaviors. Some rules are quite clear. These are the conscious beliefs we hold dear. Others, however, are unconscious. These are our secret rules, and when we do things that go against them, we experience stress, anxiety, apprehension, and emotional exhaustion--and we never know why. That is, until now. In this book, Dr. Jordan Weiss offers a unique system that helps uncover our most secret rules. The book begins by explaining the important roles that conscious and unconscious rules play in our daily existence. Each chapter focuses on a key area of our lives--money, religion, health, work, friendships, gender identification, power, marriage, and sex. Within each chapter, there are challenging questions for the reader. The answers reveal the extent of our secret rules. Our Secret Rules concludes by explaining how we can use our newly gained insights to improve the way we feel about ourselves and others. For once we are aware of our rules, we can then learn to live within their boundaries, or we can attempt to change them.
