New Releases by Phil Stutz

Based on the bestselling, groundbreaking self-help book The Tools, this expansive workbook hybrid helps us access the power of the unconscious. The universe contains three unavoidable domains: uncertainty, the need for constant work, and pain. We can meet the demands of these domains, which encapsulate the problems we all face, only by accessing the unconscious and harnessing our Life Force. While therapist Phil Stutz offers some symptom relief in The Tools, Coming Alive, and Lessons for Living, providing a framework for understanding how to engage with our lives head-on, True and False Magic brings his entire worldview together into an actionable process—one that you can return to again and again. Readers will encounter familiar Stutzian concepts like Life Force, Part X, and the Realm of Illusion, but the methods conveyed here are stitched together into both a meta-theory and a map-like protocol. Stutz’s method has long been praised by his high-powered clientele, but now anyone can follow along with the prescriptive exercises to access their unconscious and overcome life’s many hurdles.

A terapia sem fé em forças superiores pode deixá-lo a sentir-se pior do que já se sentia. Trabalhar-se a si próprio não significa que é egoísta. Se o fizer, terá mais energia, não menos. Essa energia transformará o mundo. Este livro mostra-lhe como e porquê. Depois de acabar o curso de Medicina e se ter especializado em Psiquiatria, Phil Stutz teve de enfrentar a dura realidade; pouco podia fazer pelos seus pacientes. Mais de cinco anos passados a dar consultas, numa prisão e num consultório particular, levaram-no a procurar outros caminhos – que culminariam no desenvolvimento de O Método, com Barry Michaels. Finalmente, tinha nas mãos uma terapia que funcionava. E ao longo das décadas seguintes pô-la à prova com milhares de pacientes, muitos dos quais famosos, o que lhe granjeou o rótulo de “O Psiquiatra das Estrelas”. O autor apercebeu-se de uma evidência; nós temos a tendência para ver a vida como uma bela foto de um momento mágico – ou pelo menos é essa a imagem que nos vendem os media e as redes sociais. Na verdade, porém, a vida é uma sequência de acontecimentos nem sempre agradáveis. Se aceitarmos plenamente essa verdade, que a vida é um processo em constante mudança, teremos dado o primeiro passo para acolher tudo o que de bom e de mau nos acontece. Lições Para a Vida é o método de Stutz para enfrentar a adversidade, para abraçar igualmente o amor e a perda, o sucesso e o fracasso, a esperança e o arrependimento, a vida e a morte. Sempre ancorados numa fé, numa força transcendente, chamemos-lhe Deus ou o Universo, que nos ampara as quedas e nos levanta (sempre) de novo.

Levenslessen van psychiater Phil Stutz, uit de Netflix-documentaire Stutz van Jonah Hill. ‘Stutz’ psychologie heeft een buitenaardse dimensie. Zijn lessen vormen zowel een therapeutisch als een spiritueel avontuur.’ Los Angeles Times De heldere, bondige essays waar psychotherapeut Phil Stutz tientallen jaren aan werkte, laten zien waarom hij als een revolutionaire stem binnen de psychotherapie wordt gezien. Op geheel eigen, authentieke wijze stipt hij universele problemen aan. Van wat kinderen in de kern nodig hebben, tot hoe je boven jaloezie of afgunst uitstijgt; van het overwinnen van slechte gewoontes tot de positieve kant van boos zijn. Stutz schroomt niet zowel zijn cliënten als zijn lezers te confronteren met een harde waarheid: pijn hoort bij het leven, en niemand is speciaal genoeg om daaraan te ontsnappen. Waar het uiteindelijk om draait is wat je ermee doet. Dit boek zal de manier waarop je tegen het leven aan kijkt voorgoed veranderen. Phil Stutz (1947) studeerde (cum laude) af, behaalde een Doctor of Medicine-graad en volgde een psychiatrische opleiding in New York. Na als gevangenispsychiater op Rikers Island te hebben gewerkt, begon hij zijn eigen praktijk. Tot op de dag van vandaag ontvangt hij cliënten, waaronder Hollywoodsterren als Jonah Hill die in 2023 een Netflix-documentaire over hem maakte. Stutz heeft een unieke benadering van therapie. Zijn focus ligt daarbij op het aanpakken van problemen in het hier en nu, in plaats van het ontleden van het verleden zoals vaak het geval is bij de meer traditionele psychotherapie.

Profound essays that cut through the messiness of life to help you get the good from the bad—by famed therapist Phil Stutz, the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Tools and subject of the Netflix documentary Stutz “Is there another way? Can you live life with its conflicts, uncertainties, and disappointments and somehow feel good about yourself? You can. But it requires a completely new orientation.” There are issues, and there are issues—love, loss, success, failure, hope, regret, life, death. How can we even begin to think clearly about dilemmas so universally confounding? Phil Stutz has spent his life pondering the big challenges that we all face, and this profound book puts the conclusions he’s reached at your fingertips. Stutz has been writing these remarkably insightful short essays since the late 1990s, which are collected here for the first time, along with new insights specific to the unique challenges of today. Each one will change the way you think, but taken all together, this book becomes something far more than the sum of its parts: a compendium of human experience and knowledge that will reframe your worldview. There are hard truths here—the acknowledgment that life is full of pain and not a single one of us is special enough to escape it—but we need to understand and accept them in order to realize our full potential. While The Tools explains the general concepts and five specific practices that Stutz employs in treatment, Lessons for Living addresses real-world circumstances, such as the needs of children, rising above envy, defeating your bad habits, the positive side of anger, and facing insecurities, offering a new way to think about life itself.

“The tools Barry and Phil teach in Coming Alive gave me the courage and clarity to align myself with the truth—no matter how hard or painful it seemed at the time.”—Gwyneth Paltrow Tap into the Life Force with this critical and contemporary guide to unlocking our most powerful selves—from the bestselling authors of The Tools (and goop’s resident shrinks). Phil Stutz and Barry Michels’s tools are featured in Stutz, a Netflix original documentary directed by Jonah Hill and co-produced by Joaquin Phoenix In The Tools, Michels and Stutz revolutionized the world of personal growth. Now, in Coming Alive, they guide readers toward a wellspring of positive energy: the source of creativity, renewal, and engagement. The first step in gaining mastery over one’s life—in deepening both emotional and spiritual experiences—is identifying the enemy within, which Michels and Stutz have named Part X. This formidable adversary is a shape-shifter: it may be the voice in your head that is a torrent of negativity; it may take the form of outside forces that conspire against you. In whatever guise it appears, Part X aims to derail your progress, keep you small and stuck, and defeat hope. The four vital tools in Coming Alive help you connect to the Life Force—a wellspring of positive energy that is the source of creativity, renewal, confidence, and engagement—and harness the energy and will to combat Part X. Drawing insights from their decades of psychotherapeutic practice, their lived experience, and their moving and generous understanding of our interconnectedness, Michels and Stutz have created a paradigm-shifting guide to achieving optimal mental health and spiritual well-being.

Singular in its approach and deeply spiritual in its concerns, Coming Alive is a book I’ll be pressing on friends and foes alike.”—Maria Semple, author of Where’d You Go, Bernadette
