Our beliefs are the prism through which we see reality.

It takes just a moment to become trapped in old emotions and negative beliefs, and this drastically affects our thoughts, emotions, and actions. People who avoid self-awareness usually fear coming into contact with the dark child within them. However, if we accept its existence, along with the fears, feelings of inferiority and shame, sadness, and despair, then we will reconcile with it.
Psychologist Stefanie Stahl has developed a new, effective approach to "work" with the child we hide within us. The exercises in the book will help us get rid of old mental patterns that lead our lives to a dead end and change our beliefs and behavior, so we can improve our relationships and live happily.

Don't push yourself any longer, talk about your needs and feel the freedom to truly be yourself!

In theory, we all know that we need to set healthy boundaries to achieve balance between work and personal life, to deal with toxic people, and to build proper relationships with our partners, family, and friends.
But what exactly does "healthy boundaries" mean? And how can we say "no" and express our needs without hurting others?

Therapist and interpersonal relationships expert Nedra Glover Tawwab helps us find answers to this issue.
With understanding and empathy, she suggests simple yet effective ways to set healthy boundaries in every area of our lives. The techniques she proposes, based on the latest research and the most tested practices of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), help us define and express our needs clearly and without guilt, as well as identify the deeper problems behind codependency, power games, anxiety, depression, and much more.

Do you feel like you're drowning? Do you avoid communication with people who might ask you for something?
Do you have no time for yourself? Do you often dream of giving up everything and disappearing?

If any of these things – or all of them – are happening to you, then you urgently need boundaries in the relationships you have with those around you!

This book will help you discover and set them, so you can create better relationships and live a more complete, authentic, and joyful life!

Do you sometimes feel like you're the only one making sense in a meeting?
Do long-winded answers drive you crazy, or does a colleague's argumentative manner get on your nerves? You're not alone.

Thomas Erikson explains that there are four basic behavior types that determine how we interact with and perceive those around us. Understanding a person's behavior pattern is the key to successful communication.

He analyzes these four types - Reds are dominant and oppressive, Yellows are social and optimistic, Greens are relaxed and friendly, and Blues are analytical and precise - and explains how we can recognize each type of person and communicate with them.
The simple and practical four-color system allows you to quickly identify a friend or colleague's color and adjust the way you speak to them and the information you share accordingly.

The author will help you better understand yourself, perfect your communication and social skills, manage conflicts with confidence, improve your relationship with your boss and team, know when to speak and when not to, and generally change the way you interact with others, from colleagues to your partner.

And with a little luck, ensure that the idiot isn't you!

People do not change because time passes. People do not change because they experienced some shocking events. People do not change because they fell in love. People do not change because their financial fortune changed. People do not change because their resume filled with many academic titles.

According to the Japanese, we all have an ikigai, a reason for being. Some have already found their ikigai and are aware of it, while others carry it within them but are still searching for it. Ikigai is one of the secrets to a long, youthful, and happy life, like the lives of the inhabitants of Okinawa, the island with the longest-living population in the world.

This book analyzes for the first time the ways of the centenarian Japanese for an optimistic and active life, revealing to us how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they get along with each other, and - the best-kept secret - how they find the ikigai that gives meaning to their lives and makes them live a hundred years in perfect shape.
