The Writers
The authors, both cognitive psychotherapists, identify 11 common “lifetraps,” which they define as repetitive, destructive behavior patterns associated with a negative self-image. Using illustrations from case studies, the authors describe each lifetrap, discuss its origins in childhood experience, and provide a questionnaire for self-assesment. They then offer a program for change using techniques ranging from experiential (getting in touch with your inner child) to cognitive (writing a “case” against your lifetrap) and behavioral (identifying specific behaviors to be changed). Recommended for popular psychology collections.

Insightful, but lacking…

Reinventing Your Life is an insightful book that can help one to determine self destructive patterns that may have emerged in early childhood and continue to cause havoc in your adult life. The different “lifetraps” as the author calls them are poor behavioral patterns that an adult can get stuck repeating, which can lead to absolute misery in relationships, work, and family life. There is a test early in the book to help you determine which lifetraps may apply to you, and then a chapter devoted to each of them that goes into further detail.
Overall, I liked the book. I gained some insight into some of my own negative behavior patterns, and it certainly gave me some things to think about as far as relationships! With a foreword by renowned psychiatrist Aaron Beck, the book held great promise for insightful psychological breakthrough. I enjoyed reading about the different lifetrap patterns and how each could be unknowingly cultivated in a child by parents who are either absent, addicted, or well meaning and just uneducated. Young and Klosko go into great detail of childhood origins of each behavior pattern, giving examples of each and an anecdotal story of how some of their patients (of course with privacy protected) learned to overcome the self defeating behavior. The book was an easy read, used little medical jargon that was not well explained to the layperson, and will get you thinking.
All that being said, there were some negative points, as to why I felt it only earned 4 stars. For starters, the information can be somewhat dated. The book has a copyright of 1993, so some of the interactions and anecdotes are not as applicable to the current world. That in of itself, however, is a minor flaw. The biggest issue I had with the book was the fact that there were just not enough time and words spent on how to fix the behaviors and how long that was going to take the average person. While a list of steps to take to remedy the behavior was presented with some explanation, I felt that wasn’t enough to really assist a person in making drastic changes in thinking and interaction patterns without a professional therapist to assist. Therapy is great, but the point of a self help book is to help yourself, so they could have spent some more time explaining just how to implement these recovery steps and give more detail into how each of the examples did so in their lives. Compared to the amount of information provided on childhood origins (which provide great insight, but that is only half the battle), I think the implementation of change sections were lacking.
In the end, I do recommend the book for use with your therapist in helping to determine and solve some self defeating behavior. I’m a huge fan of education and self improvement, so if you enjoy the same, this book might be worth your time to check out.

I have never said this before about any book, but this one is a life changer for me!

I have been suicidally depressed since I was five years old. I have spent 40 years in therapy and I am on a cocktail of meds. I have had ECT treatments with varying success. I was ready to give up on therapy and possible pay for deep brain stimulation with my 401(k) money (my idea; My psychiatrist was not enthusiastic about the idea.).
Then I found this book. It all seems familiar. There is nothing radical in it, but seeing things presented as lifetraps (schemas) allowed me to see myself in a new way. I recognized myself in the subjugation lifetrap. As difficult as it was I started to assert myself, to ask for help and be honest with myself about my own passive-aggressiveness and the symptoms of my depression started lifting! As soon as I was manipulated into doing something I didn’t want to do, I could feel the depression symptoms returning. I later told that person I would not be able to help after all and the depression symptoms lifted again.I am looking forward to finding myself in some of the other lifetraps.
This book is not a cure. I still have bipolar disorder and I still take meds. However, I consider this book to have been an important piece of my progress toward a more normal life.

Awesome book! Great packaging & shipping!

I am a masters in counseling student and purchased this book to use with clients in my internship. I absolutely recommend this book to all counselors and anyone who just wants to learn more about themselves and make their lives better. The book is based on Schema therapy and breaks down the original 200-some question assessment for schemas. The first few chapters explain what schema therapy is and how it works. It has a 22 question inventory to determine what schemas you may relate to. Then, you can skip to the chapters of those schemas to learn more. In those later chapters, there are more indepth questions about each schema to determine the severity of that schema for you individually. This seems much more valid than the original phq schema assessment. The text is very readable and understandable. The schema chapters include exercises and examples to help readers to evaluate themselves and decrease the effect of their personal schema.
The packaging was very nice and the book came very quickly. Highly recommend this book and this seller!!
