Publisher's Synopsis
Being the target of unjust judgment is very difficult to overcome and can not only make someone defensive and hostile, but it can also affect relationships and even our general outlook on life. It can cause anxiety, mood changes and can lead to depression, self-injury, obsessions, substance abuse and a host of other disorders.
In an attempt to combat the rise in mental health issues, we each need to adjust not only our perceptions of others but also our actions. This includes making a sincere effort to be aware of how we interact with those around us and how our actions affect them personally. One place to start is examining our own biases and judgmental attitudes and to determine to be more compassionate, less hasty with our criticisms, and be more willing to allow others to express their opinions and concerns. Just feeling that you are heard, can go a long way toward accepting an uncomfortable or unpleasant situation.
