        Unbox Your Relationship

        How to draw people to you and build relationships that last

        by Tobias Beck

        Are you ready to have the best relationships of your life? Tobias Beck shows how you achieve them – at work and in your private life Thanks to our networked world, we have more relationships than ever before. We’ve never been in touch with so many people at any one time, and it’s never been so hard for us to open up to one another. We live in a world that strives for perfection and forgets that relationships are not a filtered Instagram selfie. Relationships exist alongside and because of us and, as such, are also like us: unique, flawed, and constantly changing. This is a good thing. Perfection is far too static a state for the colourful emotional world where our relationships reside. We need relationships to be happy, yet it is this unique emotional world that makes it so difficult for us to establish them in the first place. In this new book, Tobias Beck takes you on a journey aimed at achieving the best relationships of your life. As a first step, you must fall in love with yourself – because your relationship with yourself determines the standards of compassion, understanding, respect, and trust that is reflected in your relationships with others. Once you have learned to say goodbye to the beliefs that hold you back and to forgive the past and yourself, you will be able to intensively nourish good relationships and say goodbye to others. Your life deserves the best relationships you can foster. Tobias’ animal-based model of the four basic types of person - whale, shark, dolphin and owl - has already inspired millions online. It will help you figure out what the people around you feel and believe. What motivates them? What are the things they dream of? What scares them? In Tobias’ many humorous stories, you’ll recognise your partner, family, friends, colleagues and yourself, and thus learn to understand all these people better. By the end of the book, you’ll speak the language of the four animals and know why dolphins should never marry owls, why you should adopt a whale and what you should avoid so as not to be eaten by a shark.                Tobias will take you on a journey to yourself and the people you love – with empathy, poignancy and plenty of laughs along the way. About the Author: With more than 250,000 seminar participants and 5 million Podcast listeners Tobias Beck belongs to the most in demand speakers in the German-speaking countries. Tobias Beck motivates you, gives you concrete tips and shows you ways in which you can free yourself from everything that oppresses you, that keeps you small. Learn to think in terms of opportunities and possibilities instead of first seeing problems and risks in everything. Go your own way and let your dreams and visions guide you. And above all, look for people who support you, who let you grow and help you to move forward - this is how you live your own life successfully and authentically BEWOHNERFREI®.

        FIFTY EXERCISES FOR BETTER COMMUNICATION: IMPROVING SELF ESTEEM AND INSPIRING OTHERS

        by Bowie Tsang

        Do you feel awkward in social situations? Are you ever at a loss for what to say? Do you find yourself drained by conversations, even when sharing positive experiences? We all learn to speak in childhood, but real communication takes a lifetime to master. With twenty years of experience hosting talk shows and events, Bowie Tsang has the ability to engage guests from all walks of life. In her book, she shares the professional experiences  that left the deepest impressions on her, and teaches readers how to make conversations happen no matter what the setting, emphasizing that communication can be a powerful path of personal growth.   The first lesson of effective communication is “know thyself”. Only when we know our own passions and emotions can we begin to seek out points of resonance others. This is the prelude to learning how to have natural and flowing conversations. With this foundation, we can develop our own communication style and learn to better express our thoughts through storytelling practice, and reading a broad range of books.   Later, we can continue to improve our communication through two critical skills: the use of positive energy, and learning to see things through the eyes of others. Bowie Tsang believes that real conversations are co-creations. We find satisfaction and positive energy in conversations, and avoid feeling drained, by working together and giving good feedback. Good communication is a lifelong study that will help us find mutual understanding and develop greater tolerance for those around us.   Unlike other books on communication, Fifty Exercises for Better Conversations doesn’t promote conversational gimmicks. Drawing on twenty years of experience, Bowie Tsang teaches that good conversations don’t unfold according to the rules. Naturally flowing from topic to topic helps put participants at ease, encourages positive communication, and creates a space for healing. Lively and authentic, Bowie Tsang’s writing will leave readers savoring the warmth and intimacy of a heartfelt talk, and inspire them to go out and create healing conversations of their own.

        An Inspirational Story about One Man’s 40-Day Spiritual Journey

        by John Feloni

        A Meeting. A Journal. A Price to Pay. A Life to Gain. The Tollbooth follows the story of a business meeting between Mr. Robert Campbell, the CEO of a multinational conglomerate, and an employee who is looking for more. During this encounter, Mr. Campbell shares something he’s never shown to anyone: a hand-written journal. Within its pages, the employee learns invaluable life lessons, strategic business insights, and, most important of all, the secret to a transcendent life.   The Tollbooth is the second (and favorite!) of author John Feloni’s trio of books, which include “The Covenant Secret,” that propound and elucidate time-tested as well as contemporary philosophies on life and business. Each book is a modern-day exemplum, or parable, with the concepts presented in a riveting story that entertains as much as it educates. “Hollywood Digest” writes that Mr. Feloni “makes the giving and sharing of ideas and hard knocks feel effortless.” You will learn the secrets to life and business within the pages of The Tollbooth. How to enhance the power of prayer. The importance of believing before seeing. How to deal with the negative people who may be in your life. Uncover the time-tested way to capture the joy of doing. Discover when the right time to start is. Why your helping might not really be helping. The method to feel like you can conquer the world all the time. How you can make better decisions more frequently. The author, John Feloni, wrote this business exemplum more than thirty years ago. And the message is relevant today — more than ever. Learn the secrets to life and business today. The toll owed is small — and the rewards gained are mighty.

        101 Myths About Relationships That Drive Us Crazy

        How to Stop Them from Sabotaging Your Happiness

        by Tim Ray

        In this entertaining and thought-provoking book, Tim presents a revolutionary new way of looking at our relationships and why they can be so problematic and then he goes on to offer some refreshing, new advice as to what we can do about it. The book's basic premise is that most of us believe in a wide range of myths about men and women, love and relationships that we have never questioned. It is our unquestioned belief in these myths that confuses us and makes us unhappy in our relationships. To help readers understand the power of myths in our lives, Tim identifies some of our most common relationship myths. And then he shows us how we can free ourselves from them. The result is much greater clarity, joy and love in our relationships. Some of the myths Tim unveils are:· - A relationship can only work if you compromise - I need a partner to be happy - My happiness is dependent on my partner - If you love me, you'll do what I want - I'm more selfish than my partner if I don't do what my partner wants - I know what is best for my partner - It's better to be in a relationship than to be single - Strong sexual attraction means we're a good match Every time you believe that reality should be different than it is right now, you suffer. It's actually that simple." - Tim Ray "When it comes to relationships, there are self-help books all around the world, but I've never read anyone who has done so much research into 'what happens to the hero and heroine after they finally get each other' as Tim Ray" - Jane Aamund - Denmark's leading woman writer and author of countless bestselling books. "An entertaining and courageous book that shows us how we can experience more happiness in our relationships by questioning the traditional way of doing things. I warmly recommend this book to everyone who's interested in personal development" Joan 0rting Denmark's leading sexologist, couples therapist, TV host, and best-selling author.

        Resilience: Facing Down Rejection and Criticism on the Road to Success

        by Mark McGuinness

        If you want to achieve something original and meaningful with your life, you MUST learn to deal with rejection and criticism.   If you're an artist of any kind your work will be rejected by editors, curators and other gatekeepers. And each time you put it in front of the public, you expose yourself to criticism.   If you're an entrepreneur you face rejection by (potential) customers, partners and investors. Those same people won't hesitate to criticize you if they are unhappy (justified or not).   If you're chasing your dream job you'll receive your share of rejection letters. And once you land the job, taking flak when things go wrong is part of the deal.   Between them, rejection and criticism can rob you of your dream.   Many people set out on their chosen path full of hope and inspiration, only to turn back because they couldn't deal with the emotional impact of crushing rejections and vicious criticism.   If you want to avoid joining the legions of also-rans, you'll need to find practical, effective ways to deal with rejection and criticism.   Anyone who says 'don't take it so personally' doesn't understand what it's like when you are hit by a major rejection or biting criticism.   At least to begin with, it's almost impossible NOT to take it personally (for very good psychological reasons). To deal with rejection and criticism, you need to acknowledge the pain - and find ways to bounce back from the impact.   In short, you need to develop resilience.   In Resilience, Mark McGuinness explains why your reactions to rejection and criticism are completely understandable - and how to deal with them effectively.   Through stories from his own experience, as well as those of famous people who faced rejection and criticism on the road to their success, he will show you that you are far from alone in suffering from rejection and criticism.   And he draws on years of experience as a coach to give you practical advice that has been road-tested with hundreds of people facing similar challenges to you.   You will learn: Why rejection and criticism hurt so much Several ways you may be making rejection worse (without realising it) How to keep going in spite of multiple rejections Why your inner critic is (potentially) your best friend When to ignore the critics - and when to listen Whether (and how) to respond to insults and abuse Why success is harder than it looks - and how to deal with it   This is not a theoretical book - it's packed with practical tips and techniques you can apply to your own challenges right away.   Whether you're just setting out, in the middle of your journey, or dealing with the unexpected challenges of success, Resilience will show you how to keep moving forward.   Resilience will take you a few hours to read; its lessons will help you for the rest of your life.

        Practical Strategies and Techniques for Support Workers

        by Robin Dynes

        In all types of support services and care situations one of the biggest challenges is motivating people to change their behaviour. It particularly applies to individuals who are difficult to motivate because they might lack insight, wilfully ignore or refuse to face their situation, are affected by depression or health problems or are victims of unfortunate circumstances or fear of failure. The task may be to motivate someone to improve their quality of life by participating in a group in a residential home, change a lifestyle because of health reasons, address offending behaviour, learn a new skill to obtain a job or complete an anxiety management programme. The strategies and techniques will help: · Arouse their interest in making changes · Encourage the consideration of change · Support their planning for change · Mentor the person through planned actions · Ensure momentum is maintained · Guide the person in making positive use of any relapses · Make sure the change is successfully achieved This is an invaluable resource for support workers, social workers, health workers, youth workers, probation officers, employment services, tutors and carers. The techniques can be applied when working with individuals or groups in all types of settings including residential homes, day centres, probation, education or youth work.
