The earnest commitment of Damon Jacobs to help his readers and clients suffer less stress in order to experience more joy is admirable and to be greatly commended.
His sincere care is apparent in his book Absolutely Shouldless - in which he clearly shares wisdom learnt from his own experience, from the brilliant Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy approach of Dr Albert Ellis, and from aspects of the work of other mentors. In addition to the important knowledge for readers to contemplate, the exercises which are included also encourage the readers to be active in improving their lives and are very helpful tools.

The human mind can be a tyrannous master. But it can also be a great ally when we learn how to make friends with it through gentle investigation. Damon Jacobs has given us a shortcut to serenity by cutting directly through the dark thoughts and beliefs that keep us stuck in guilt, anger and frustration. Absolutely Should-less is a delightfully simple guide to finding serenity by helping us see through all the "shoulds" that keep us from our own authentic joy.

"Shouldless" is more than a catchphrase -- it's the foundation for a life-changing way to shift your perspective and change your life. With writing that is both inspiring and accessible, Damon Jacobs gently helps the reader identify and discard old ways of thinking and embrace a new, empowering way of life. This is a book I know I will refer to and reread for years to come.

It was my pleasure to interview Damon L. Jacobs on my long-running radio show, "Up Close and Personal with Bonnie D. Graham."
He was such an articulate guest that I also invited him to do a similar segment on my new program, "The Real Cougar Woman".
Damon's clevery titled book, Absolutely Should-less, addresses the "you should" demons that plague most of us starting in early childhood. By adulthood, we automatically recite these ingrained criticisms to ourselves, and sometimes our original parental / authority figures persist with new "shoulds", critiques and mandates - with negative impacts on our ability to lead a happy, productive life.
Rather than offering an unrealistic magic pill, Damon leverages his years of professional clinical expertise to provide proven strategies to challenge these nagging stressors and learn a healthier approach to everyday living. Bravo, Damon L. Jacobs!

Absolutely Should-less helps you stop beating YOURSELF up over OTHER PEOPLE'S expectations & assumptions!

Absolutely Should-less by Damon L. Jacobs came along at the right time for me. With a full-time job, a blog and freelance writing assignments, my life was full of shoulds in 2008. Now I have the tools to prioritize my life based on choices, instead of shoulds.
