Publisher's Summary:

Call it what you want: in a funk, down in the dumps, depressed, burned out, apathetic, indifferent...most of us have been there. Author and coach Barry Foster has as well.

On a steamy, hot day in the middle of a Florida summer, Barry drove a stake in the ground, and said out loud, "Enough". He stood up and admitted to himself that he was in a terrible funk and had been for quite some time. He was stuck and felt exhausted. He cared about very little and had withdrawn from everyone around him. Happiness was non-existent. Barry had lost his spirit and no longer felt as though he was in charge of his life.

In this easy listen, Barry chronicles his climb out of the "black hole" and offers his listeners a mini-course on how to say goodbye to your funk and take charge of your life. Being down in the dumps cannot co-exist with happiness. Barry asserts if you recognize you're in a funk, it's time to stop being "funked-up" and start getting fueled up - happiness does not have to be elusive. You can get energy, zest, and excitement for life.

The choice is yours: do nothing, get nothing. Start doing and get happy. Every journey begins with the decision to take the first step. Go ahead and take your first step - make the decision to purchase this book. Follow the practical advice, tips and strategies it offers, and you will be on your way to taking charge of your life and feeling happy once again.

the "tool" I needed to help myself; practical, easy to read, helpful

I absolutely recommend Overcoming Your Funk (OYF)! It is easy-to-read and easy-to-apply to your life. Like the title says, it is practical, but not only is it practical, it is HELPFUL! Getting out of my personal funk was something that I knew I couldn't do alone. It started with a single decision -- to look for outside assistance, tools, and advice to help me help myself. I found all three in this book! My funk wasn't the lowest that I have been but I certainly needed a kick start to climb out of my "black hole". I am grateful that this book has given some more tools in my tool chest of managing through life (and a new funky language to describe how I was feeling). Next time I start to notice that I am feeling a bit "low", or in a funk, I will re-read OYF. I think that the next time I read it, it will help me to STAY OUT of a potential funk!

The times I think that I will read OYF again are when I...

...am "in the dumps".

...am at my bottom.

...have lost my motivation.

...do not know what to do next.

...am so stuck that I don't even know where to start.

...am too proud to ask others for help until I first make the choice to help myself.

It is a book I am keeping in the front of my bookshelf and plan to share with my friends and family when they experience some tough times. IT IS THE TOOL THAT I NEEDED TO HELP MYSELF.

Worth Reading

Inspirational with concrete steps to help each person in a funk! Clearly expressed advice with personal examples. A worthwhile read for us all.

Don't bother.

This book is not that great. If you've read any other self help books, this is like a "starter" book.
