Is Life Driving You Crazy??? (eBook)

If you say that someone or something or life itself is driving you crazy, you’re suggesting that you are sitting in a car and you have given the keys to another person or situation or life itself and they are driving you around. And unfortunately for you they are driving you to crazyville. That is the thinking of victims. And if you think like a victim you behave like a victim.

Dr. Sheperd’s latest digital book “Is Life Driving You Crazy??? Why Don’t You Take The Keys Back? It’s Your Car!!!” is designed to help you rethink what stress is and isn’t, learn how to use your personal power more effectively, believe that you can rekindle your heart even when it feels defeated and develop strategies that will help you survive crises that arise in your life. He taps into the wisdom of Victor Frankl, psychiatrist, Holocaust survivor and author of “Man’s Search for Meaning, and James Stockdale, one of the longest held prisoners in the Vietnam War to point out that helpessness and hopelessness are not two different words for the same thing. Helplessness is a fact of existence. There are many things we have no control over. Hopelessness is an attitude, a state of mind. Both Frankl and Stockdale showed that though they were helpless as to the state of their existence for a few years, their attitudes showed that they didn’t buy into the concept that things were hopeless.

Dr. Sheperd has close to 50 years experience working with people dealing with all types of crises including chronic and terminal illnesses such as Cancer, AIDS, MS, as well as substance abuse, losing loved ones to illness and murder and suicide and of course the everyday difficult issues in life. He has spoken to hundreds of thousands of people on these issues, did a six part series for Public Television, and has had seven books published.
