Личностный рост
Различные книги в жанре Личностный ростПоединок с изменой
Практикующий психолог, дипломированный врач и психотерапевт, известная московская писательница Наталья Толстая снова обращается к теме непростых отношений между мужчиной и женщиной. В новой книге речь идет об измене: «Проблема эта обезличенная, поскольку масок у нее много, а итог один: в любом любовном треугольнике один из углов лишний, тупой или отчаянный. Книга моя адресована всем и рассказывает о разных способах борьбы за СВОЕ, а что подразумевает под этим каждый – разберемся».
Любимая или любовница. Хождение по мукам
Наталья Толстая продолжает писать на одну из самых больных тем, какие только бывают в семейной жизни. Речь идет не о том, почему и как люди изменяют друг другу, а о женщине. Каково ей, любящей женатого человека? Легко ли поддерживать отношения «на стороне»? Почему супружеская измена становится привычным явлением? Автор не дает «правильных» психологических ответов и советов, а предлагает женщине, в чью жизнь вошла измена: «Подумаем вместе о мужчине, ставшем любовником, о ваших семьях, о стадиях отношений при такой „запретной“ любви. Неплохо бы задуматься и о своих близких: как уберечь их от стресса, если никто ничего в своей жизни менять не собирается». Книга адресована самому широкому кругу читателей.

A.I.M. The Powerful 10-Step Personal and Career Success Program
From the Introduction by Alex Gill Before embarking on the A.I.M. program, I was just an ordinary guy with a problem that many, many others have had at some point in their careers. I was unhappy. I was becoming bitter. I complained about my job a lot. I knew I was in a rut and couldn't figure out what to do about it. I felt powerless, unfocused and alone. And I didn't see a way I could make things improve. That was my starting point before I began the A.I.M. process. Today, I run my own firm that helps dozens of nonprofits improve their community impact each year. I work on very interesting and socially relevant projects for an ever-growing roster of clients. I have flown around the world to talk about community building, environmentalism and social marketing. I also teach at an innovative downtown university where the students are a joy to teach and my fellow professors often remark on my enthusiasm for my work and life in general. My friends and family constantly note that I seem happier and more motivated as the years go by. This did not happen because of some exceptional piece of luck – nor because of some superhuman ability or intelligence on my part … I was someone who happened upon a method – the A.I.M. method – that helped me determine who I was and what inspired me, and then put me on the path to achieving it. It happened because I put those principles into action with the help and guidance of a coach like Jim Carlisle. I hope as you read this book that you will appreciate how A.I.M. changed my life – and how it could help you change yours. Jim and I have taken the better part of a year to write this book because we believe in strongly in helping those who need a way out. Every day we see people who would benefit from taking charge of their lives and moving forward to achieve, inspire and make a difference. If you see a bit of yourself in my story – or in the dozens of stories we will share in this book – read on. I hope your journey is even more productive and rewarding than my own.
