Различные книги в жанре Личностный ростЯк людина мислить
«Як людина мислить» – ця невелика за обсягом книга Джеймса Аллена стала наріжним каменем усієї подальшої великої і наростаючої частини нон-фікшн: «мотиваційної літератури», книг із саморозвитку людини. З 1902 року, коли була опублікована «Як людина мислить» («Людина мисляча»), вона вважається класичною і основоположною книгою з саморозвитку. Основна ідея книги така, що думки формують людську особистість: благородні думки створюють шляхетну людину, ганебні думки роблять людину ницою. Переклад з англійської Юлії Шматько.
Как человек мыслит
«Как человек мыслит» – эта небольшая по объему книга Джеймса Аллена стала краеугольным камнем всей последующей обширной и все разрастающейся «мотивационной литературы» – книг по саморазвитию человека. С 1902 года, когда она была опубликована, «Как человек мыслит» («Человек мыслящий») считается классической и основоположной книгой по саморазвитию. Основная идея книги такова, что мысли формируют человека: благородные мысли создают благородного человека, низкие мысли делают человека низким. Перевод с английского Юлии Шматько.
Who You Were Meant to Be
Are you happy with your life? Are you where you want to be? Are you doing what you want to do? What holds you back: your family, work, your relationships, yourself?This inspiring book touches a chord which is universal: the desire to find one's purpose and fulfill it. It aims to help us understand the fears, frustrations and loyalties that sabotage our dreams and best efforts at personal growth. Dr. Gibson reveals the reasons why we doubt and defeat ourselves. «Too often,» she states, «the urge to fulfill our destiny is stopped short by the needs of others – our parents, employers, partners – and is waylaid by financial and/or emotional constraints. That's why many of us turn ourselves into whatever somebody else needs us to be.»Among the topics Dr. Gibson covers are: how to find out what you really want to do with your life, why growth can be so hard, what you can do when the going gets tough, and what to do to change your life and become your best self. Most importantly, Gibson provides a practical road map out of old habits and shows how to forge a new path on which each of us can redefine our identity and become the person we want to be.

Cheating Parents
David Petraeus, Tiger Woods, Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Edwards, and Bill Clinton: these powerful and famous men were caught having affairs and fell from grace. The media reported their fall and the humiliation and outrage of their spouses, and the nation watched the drama with fascination, feeling sympathy for the betrayed. Conspicuously absent from the media attention was the impact of the infidelity and ensuing publicity on the cheating parents' children. Dennis Ortman, Ph.D., gives a voice to these silent sufferers, the children, the walking wounded, who may appear to function normally for years, but often experience dysfunction when they attempt to commit to intimate relationships as adults. Some feel compelled to betray their partners, and others marry someone who cheats on them or remain emotionally disengaged in their relationships. Without knowing it, many repeat the faults of their parents’ marriage, playing out their roles in new tragedies, often exhibiting symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disorder. Cheating Parents explores the long-term impact of parental infidelity on children's self-esteem and provides pathways toward healing and forgiveness.
