Books like Feeling Strong by Ethel S. Person


In *Feeling Strong*, psychoanalyst Ethel S. Person argues that conventional views of power—as domination or ruthless command—are too narrow. She argues instead that true power is the capacity to bring desired outcomes into reality, a drive that shapes much of our behavior and internal experience. Drawing on clinical expertise, literature examples, and real‑life vignettes, Person shows how individuals can achieve authentic power to foster inner certainty, develop a personal identity, and effectively mold their life story.

Why Mars & Venus collide by 6915951|John Gray book cover

📘 Why Mars & Venus collide
 by John Gray

Once upon a time, Martians and Venusians functioned in separate worlds. But in today's hectic and career-oriented environment, relationships have become a lot more complicated, and men and women are experiencing unprecedented levels of stress. To add to the increasing tension, most men and women are also completely unaware that they are actually hardwired to react differently to the stress. It's a common scenario: a husband returns home from work stressed out and eager to kick back on the couch and watch television. A wife returns home from work stressed out and wants to talk about it with her husband. What happens? Neither is on the same page, anger and resentment set in, and Mars and Venus collide.Using his signature insight that has helped millions of couples transform their relationships, John Gray once again arms the inhabitants of Mars and Venus with information that will help them live harmoniously ever after. In Why Mars and Venus Collide, Gray focuses on the ways that men and women misinterpret and mismanage the stress in their daily lives, and how these reactions ultimately affect their relationships. "It's not that he's just not into you; he needs to fulfill a biological need," Gray explains. "And it's not that she wants to henpeck you; she also has a biological drive." He shows, for instance, how a husband's withdrawal is actually a natural way for him to replenish his depleted testosterone levels and restore his well-being, and how a woman's need for conversation and support helps her build her own stress-reducing hormone, oxytocin.Backed up by groundbreaking scientific research, Gray offers a clear, easy-to-understand program to bridge the gap between the two planets, providing effective communication strategies that will actually lower stress levels. Whether in a relationship or single, this book will help both men and women understand their new roles in a modern, work-oriented society, and allow them to discover a variety of new and practical ways to create a lifetime of love and harmony.

The resilience workbook by 5897300|Schiraldi, Glenn R. book cover

📘 The resilience workbook

"Do you ever wonder why some people seem to sail capably through life's storms, while others are knocked down and never get back up? The answer is resilience. Resilience is the ability to recover from difficult experiences--such as the death of a loved one, a job loss, trauma, or a serious illness. It's the strength of body, mind, and character that enables people to respond well to adversity. In short, resilience is the cornerstone of good mental health and wellness. So, how can you build resilience?"--
