Thrive - overcome anxiety, depression, fears, phobias and fight illness. Build self-esteem, banish shyness and social anxiety. Create an internal locus of control and have a great life! Spiral-bound – 1 Jan. 2012

My wife heard about the Thrive Programme and suggested that I have a look. I had just finished a year of weekly therapy sessions with a Freud trained physiologist and had a great understanding of what my many issues were but had been left feeling frustrated that I still didn't really know how to take this amazing self awareness I now had and turn it into action to move my life forward. My marriage had been on the verge of collapse and was suffering from various self limiting beliefs, low self esteem, uncomfortable in social situations and a few mental health issues thrown in for good measure! My life felt like it had gone to s*** and I felt powerless to do anything about it. I looked up The Rob Kelly Thrive programme on google and read various reviews, straight away I realised that I wasn't alone and a freak and that it was me causing my own issues, everything seemed to strike a chord and really resonated with me. Without hesitation I went ahead and ordered a copy of Thrive from Amazon with a feeling of excitement and some hope, that if I had created my current reality then surely man can undo what man has created. The book arrived quickly and I started to read and absorb. I then heard that a family friend was also on to Thrive and was starting to go through it with a Thrive Consultant. I decided that if I was going to really Thrive then I should have the support of 6 sessions with a Thrive Consultant.I'm delighted to say that I completed the workbook with the support of a brilliant Consultant ( 6 sessions ) and feel absolutely amazing, my self esteem is at an all time high, I have developed an Internal feeling of Control and can hold my own socially. I would say that after 6 short weeks that I am 90% Thriving which is increasing every day and my marriage is starting to Thrive as well as my work life.Reminds me of the 10 most important 2 letter words in the English Dictionary' If it is to be it is up to me 'Thanks Rob Kelly. You have helped me to help myself to sort out my crap and really start Thriving.Danny

After spending years suffering from insomnia, anxiety attacks and general self-esteem issues yet frequent doctors visits to no-avail. I decided to put destiny in my own hands and started to research the psychological reasoning behind why I was the way I was. Since then, I’ve read numerous self help or even text books on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and understood the concepts of self-efficacy and behavioural models but still found it very difficult to actually put this theory in to practice.I found the unique approach taken by Rob Kelly in this book excellent, by slowly easing you in to a different mindset. Step by step, in an easily readable yet not dumbed down manner, he helps you to question your own internal values and beliefs and very clearly shows you where your limiting factors are. Once these are identified, he demonstrates how to change your internal thinking to overcome your issues. This book not only has helped with the above problems but it has also helped in all areas of my life; and the beauty of it is you can re-read and repeat the tests at a later date to see how you have developed and what still needs developing.Great book, thanks Rob Kelly for writing it and Amy Smith for recommending and guiding me through it!

After years of thinking my future was going to be tainted by my past. After years of really pushing myself in all sorts of directions I didn't want to go because of some misguided sense of obligation to a lot of unhelpful beliefs and thinking styles I AM FREE!!!!!! Free of anxiety, free of stress, free of powerless thoughts.I am true to myself now, I love my life, I am more happy and contented than I have ever been despite the fact that I have no money and no job at the moment.....BUT what I do have, is a strong belief in myself, in my skills and capabilities to overcome adversity, my resourcefulness and ability to resolve the situation.I believe in me and you can believe in you too!This book is so full of SIMPLE to apply, life changing insights EVERYONE would benefit from it.I dare you to buy this book, empower yourself and create the life you want. I did and I am!

Firstly, I purchased the "Thrive Overcome Anxiety Depression Fears Phobias and Fight Illness" book, but the actual book I received was the "Thrive Health Happiness and Success" book. I decided not to return it based upon the good reviews, and began to work on it diligently. However, this book has driven me to the point of suicide in spite of my hard work. It has totally screwed up my mind. Do not buy!

Loved the program

This book is worth its weight in gold!!If you want to stop the anxiety phobia etc this is it!! No bulls*** well thought out and researchedBut what it does is stop the endless search for an answer and puts you back taking responsibility for yourselfIt's a big manual it takes time but is a non stop good read that you won't want to stop reading it has exercises that you need to do to help you break the cycles and create new habitsI don't write reviews but I am for this as it has been a brilliant help to meThankyou RobI

I bought this book not as a sufferer, but in order to try and help someone. A lot of it is useful, and it is clearly presented. I do have some issues with it. The author seems to dismiss the idea of a person having a faith; any therapist should accept clients who have faith and similarly those who have none. In the section on Mind Your Language I feel the reference to cancer being fought as a battle is not particularly helpful. Having had cancer treatment myself there are times when you don't feel positive and there is nothing wrong with that. The implication of this language is that if someone 'loses the battle' they simply haven't fought hard enough. That said I thought the section on Unhelpful Thinking Styles was very good, and the main thing is that many people have had good results with this programme.
