Quante volte rimproveriamo a noi stessi e agli altri difetti e imperfezioni? Vorremmo avere una speciale gomma per cancellarli magicamente, i "difetti", immersi come siamo in un contesto in cui essere i migliori, essere sempre adeguati è un must. Alessandro Chelo sovverte questa idea. La ricerca della perfezione non indica la via per il miglioramento; al contrario, gli individui esprimono il meglio di sé dando luce alle proprie ombre.

Double standards are nothing new. Women deal with them every day. Take the common truism that women who sleep around are sluts while men are studs. Why is it that men grow distinguished and sexily gray as they age while women just get saggy and haggard? Have you ever wondered how a young woman is supposed to both virginal and provocatively enticing at the same time?

Introvertiert? Herzlichen Glückwunsch – du hast eine Superkraft. In einer Welt, die Extrovertierte feiert und laute Stimmen bevorzugt, wird die leise Stärke der Introvertierten oft übersehen.

Moving beyond the identification of aggressive behaviors to an analysis of how and why we have arrived at a culture that thrives on humiliation, she critiques the social forces that gave rise to, and help maintain, bullying. Martocci's analysis of gossip, laughter, stereotyping, and competition - dynamics that foment bullying and prompt responses of shame, violence, and depression - is positioned within a larger social narrative: the means by which we negotiate damaged social bonds and the role that bystanders play in the possibility of atonement, forgiveness, and redemption.

Emotional energy is, in many ways, our most precious resource. Emotions are the fuel for absolutely everything we say, do, and create, and emotions are directly responsible for the degree of personal and professional success that we enjoy in life. Imagine what you would be able to accomplish by freeing up our most powerful resource - our emotions - and using them to our advantage!

Inner speech, also known as self-talk, is distinct from ordinary language. It has several functions and structures, from everyday thinking and self-regulation to stream of consciousness and daydreaming. Inner Speech and the Dialogical Self provides a comprehensive analysis of this internal conversation that people have with themselves to think about problems, clarify goals and guide their way through life.

Norbert Wiley shrewdly emphasizes the semiotic and dialogical features of the inner speech, rather than the biological and neurological issues. He also examines people who lack control of their inner speech — such as some autistics and many emotionally disturbed people who use trial and error rather than self-control — to show the power and effectiveness of inner speech.

Emotionally intelligent people are open to new experiences, can show feelings adequate to the situation, either good or bad, and find it easy to socialize with other people and establish new contacts. They handle stress well, say “no” easily, realistically assess the achievements of themselves or others and are not afraid of constructive criticism and taking calculated risks.

Paul Williams and Andreas Krebs take a no-punches-held look at the stories we tell ourselves about business success. The rags-to-riches tale is tempting, but we don’t have to search far to see that most organizations rise for a time, only to experience a dramatic fall from grace. Just look at some of the companies that used to be household names: Nokia, AOL, Pan Am, Woolworth, and Blockbuster. The Illusion of Invincibility examines the why of success and failure. It’s a smart, funny, and radical look at how to build and sustain a great organization.

More and more, people are identifying as introverts. Studies show that at least one-third of the people we encounter in our lives are introverts. The Quiet Rise of Introverts: 8 Practices for Loving and Living in a Noisy World is a guide to help tenderhearted and introverted individuals grow and nurture their peace, purpose, and relationships. Author, speaker, and life coach Brenda Knowles presents eight unique practices to help readers learn that they are not alone or flawed in their sensitivity and introversion.

Never mind growing up; it's time we grew down. There are some 400 million people worldwide whose creativity, curiosity and determination put the rest of us to shame. They are experts in their field but have no experience to speak of. Once, you were one of them, too. They are toddlers - and they hold the key to unlocking our potential as adults, at work and in life. In Little Wins, Ella's Kitchen founder Paul Lindley reveals the nine characteristics and behaviours that we can all learn from recalling our toddler selves.

It took 35 years for Karen to be diagnosed with severe, visual dyslexia, and 44 years to get a bipolar diagnosis. Karen was conceived as a replacement baby for her slightly older sister Lorraine, a thalidomide baby without arms or legs. This is a true account of Karen's journey through the toughest times of her life, triumphant in the end. And an unbreakable bond with her sister.

Imagine how much better your life is going to be when you have unshakable belief in yourself, pure self-confidence! Confidence is not something you are born with; it is a mind-set you are supposed to learn during your formative years. Sadly most of us are not taught to be confident--we are told to conform and follow the rules of others. We are shown how to be passive sheep and not the masters of our destinies.

Imagine if you had the magical ability to read people’s minds. You would always know what they were really thinking and how they formed their opinions. You would be able to tell if they were lying. You would know what decisions they were going to make even before they did. Wouldn't it be great if you could always know just the right thing to say to influence them effectively? This audiobook contains four best sellers that will help you master people analysis, social influence, and persuasion.

Self and Identity: The Basics is a jargon-free and accessible introduction that draws on key theories and ideas in social psychology to explore the ways that other people affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Highlighting selfhood as a function of identity, the book shows that it is our relationships with others in our social world that largely determine who we are. It considers the philosophical and psychological context in which ideas about selfhood have developed and reviews the ways that the people around us, and the groups that we belong to, affect who we are.

Stories of individuals both famous (Gandhi) and obscure (Rodrigo Rosenberg) intertwine with research on altruism, happiness, and radicalization to terrorism. The changing landscape of the book's setting - from The Roman Empire to 19th-century Russia to Nazi Germany to post-World War II India to present day Ukraine - makes the power of self-sacrifice and martyrdom come alive.

This book explores how and why humans are motivated to act in the ways that they do. The chapters examine the origins of a given action rather than their superficial appearance, which can often be misleading.
