I want to reread Branden's work too, it makes a lot of sense to me. Another book I can recommend is "Reinventing Your Life", by Jeffrey Young and Janet Klosko, PhDs. This book is an introduction to Schema Theory, and like Branden's work, it explains how "old tapes" from our formative years affect our thoughts and behaviors afterwards. I just today learned that therapist/author Tara Bennett-Goleman has a book out called "Emotional Alchemy", which combines Schema Theory with mindfulness practices.
