Popular Reviews of How to become a total failure

This 10- part podcast is definitely different from all those many counselling books and workshops which want to lead the way to a better, positive life by giving well-meant advice. After having gone through the ten parts of the series I can only agree with the psycho- social coach, Dr. Cala Sana that we have heard and been presented with these views and perceptions in always the same way. He takes a very different and more entertaining approach by confronting the listener with all his/her problems, doubts and fears: being at the foot of a "mountain" of negative feelings, self-reproaches and guilt and not knowing how to get out of it.The coach names the various problematic areas bluntly and connects them directly to the corresponding negative ways of behaviour so that the message becomes clear very soon. Many vivid and interesting examples combined with adequate sounds and tunes make the listener realize how strongly his/her self-boycott and negative way of thinking drag him/her down. The answers come up automatically and there is no "educational" note.Especially in the areas of "money" and "appearance" there are many good examples which show that people can be unhappy or dissatisfied no matter whether they are rich, resp. beautiful or have neither money nor good looks. Besides, the many negative consequences of self-pity and guilt are illustrated in a very colourful way. I especially liked the "self-torture" part at the end of each episode, because I recognized many of my own views and opinions. All in all an interesting, informative and witty approach to "reframe" one's attitude to one's personality and life in general. I can definitely recommend this podcast which I will certainly listen to again from time to time.
