I am referring to the whole “everyone NEEDS treatment” mindset overcoming the whole “you have to want treatment” for it to be effective mentality.

i’m a sophomore in high school and my schedule is packed with advanced classes and extra curricular activities. i’m a bit high maintenance and i’m super organized. do you have any tips on ways to cut corners or ways to use in-between time, (i already use the bus as study time and i’m an expert at not actually doing the homework). even if you have no suggestions on time management, maybe one for relaxation?

His lying has really taken its toll on our relationship. We are really in love and have been dating over 3 years and we have both realized that he cannot stop lying on his own, so he would like to get help. I was looking in the phonebook under counseling and psychologists, but I noticed that all of them say their for things such as eating disorders, stress management, self esteem, etc. None of them said anything about help with lying. Can just any counselor/psychologist help him with his problem or will he have to see someone that specializes in helping compulsive liars?
I have certainly been suffering alot, but he really seems like he wants to change. He has admitted that he has a problem, which is the first step to stopping. I don’t want to leave him because I care about him alot

Self help books about happiness, success, anxiety and depression, etc.
Of the books I’ve read, the information seems to be either common sense or far-fetched.
What’s some good common sense advice and “help” you don’t find in these books?
For example, “You don’t need a book to tell you how to set goals. Just do it.”
