Hurry! Only 0 Left in Stock!
Why do people react so differently to one event or another? Why does one person laugh, another cry, someone else keep their distance, while someone else needs closeness instead? Why are some people able to transform anger and hurt into love, while others get stuck in their feelings and cannot move forward?
A book about ways of adapting to different life situations and stress. About how to care for your mental health during crises. How to talk about difficult things, and how to cope with yourself and others. It seems particularly relevant right now.
In this book, you will discover many of the ways we “protect ourselves” from our circumstances—denial, projection, idealization, detachment, control, and more. They will help you understand yourself and your behavior even better: for example, how you respond to loss, cope with anxiety before a performance, deal with hurt, or establish boundaries. The subject is complex, but Mark and Illia present the main ideas in simple language, drawing on leading thinkers from Freud to Hollis and illustrating the themes with stories from life and contemporary examples. They also include exercises for working through each chapter’s themes, as well as lists of films and books that can help you understand them more deeply.
