The Myth Of Normal (exp) [Bok / Häftad]

<p>For 25 years Benjamin Perks has worked on eradicating global barriers to child wellbeing, including poverty, hunger, disease, the mobilisation of child soldiers and population displacement. Yet there is one cause that is deeply personal: Ben wants every child to grow up feeling loved, seen, and safe. This passion comes from his own life journey.<br/><br/>Early relationships shape how we relate to the world, impacting our development for the rest of our lives. When parental bonds are broken by cruelty, trauma or neglect, it derails childhood in ways that can last a lifetime. Unfortunately, child trauma is much more widespread than previously thought. But that's not the end of the story.<br/><br/>Benjamin Perks went from being a kid in a children's home to a thought leader and senior UN advocate on ending child maltreatment. His journey taught him healing is always possible, and prompted the question: Can we do better at preventing child trauma in the first place?<br/><br/><i>Attachment Revolution</i> harnesses evidence from around the world to show why trauma is both an individual problem and the cause of our costliest social problems. But in it, Benjamin also argues that simple changes and policy interventions can break damaging inter-generational cycles. And he shows that building secure attachments and improving the quality of your relationships can radically transform your life, at any age.</p>

<p>A revolutionary new offering from Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, renowned psychologist and author of the global bestseller 12 Rules for Life. In We Who Wrestle with God, Dr. Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world. In riveting detail, he analyzes the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and triumph that stabilize, inspire, and unite us culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah; the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham&rsquo;s terrible adventure; and the epic of Moses and the Israelites. What could such stories possibly mean? What force wrote and assembled them over the long centuries? How did they bring our spirits and the world together, and point us in the same direction? It is time for us to understand such things, scientifically and spiritually; to become conscious of the structure of our souls and our societies; and to see ourselves and others as if for the first time. Join Elijah as he discovers the Voice of God in the dictates of his own conscience and Jonah confronting hell itself in the belly of the whale because he failed to listen and act. Set yourself straight in intent, aim, and purpose as you begin to more deeply understand the structure of your society and your soul. Journey with Dr. Peterson through the greatest stories ever told. Dare to wrestle with God.</p>

<p>Who and what are supercommunicators? They&apos;re the people who can steer a conversation to a successful conclusion. They are able to talk about difficult topics without giving offence. They know how to make others feel at ease and share what they think. They&apos;re brilliant facilitators and decision-guiders. How do they do it? In this groundbreaking new book, Charles Duhigg unravels the secrets of the supercommunicators to reveal the art - and the science - of successful communication. He unpicks the different types of everyday conversation and pinpoints why some go smoothly while others swiftly fall apart. He reveals the conversational questions and gambits that bring people together. And he shows how even the most tricky of encounters can be turned around. In the process, he shows why a CIA operative was able to win over a reluctant spy, how a member of a jury got his fellow jurors to view an open-and-shut case differently, and what a doctor found they needed to do to engage with a vaccine sceptic. Above all, he reveals the techniques we can all master to successfully connect with others, however tricky the circumstances. Packed with fascinating case studies and drawing on cutting-edge research, this book will change the way you think about what you say, and how you say it.</p>
