Emmanuel98,
I didn't like that book either. Not at all helpful--in fact, irritating for just the examples you cited. Reinforced my feelings of alienation because, as you said, if only my life were that simple.
There is a book that still stands out (for me) amidst a sea of facile (read annoying) mindfulness books: http://
amzn.com/0465085857Thoughts Without A Thinker by Mark Epstein.
About dbt. My best experience (most helpful and enduring) was group dbt. And it was more affordable. Not easy to come by, a group that really clicks, maybe, but another possible avenue of self-help. The lead was able to keep us moving and didn't waste our time :)
MDD currently controlled. C-ptsd and comorbid health concerns. Chronic fatigue.
