A fresh twist on assertiveness to help those who feel trapped, suffocated, and oppressed by the weight of others' expectations to break free and live life on their own terms
Many people's lives, relationships, careers, and well-being are marred by the belief that to be liked, loved, and accepted, they have to limit themselves to the behaviors they believe are approved of by others. This might mean always being polite, nice, helpful, charming, fun, making people feel good about themselves, not letting people down, never saying "no," avoiding conflict, or putting others' needs before their own. In her 15 years of clinical experience as a psychologist the author has coined the phrase "the curse of lovely" to describe this growing trend. Many people would like to be known as lovely, but for a growing number of people it can feel like a curse. This highly practical and motivational book shows readers how to break the curse of lovely to live a more complete, fulfilling life. It helps readers identify when "lovely" turns into a curse; examines the lovely child and how it all begins; and discusses the different types of "lovely." It then discusses how to move from curse to gift, remaining lovable yet getting our needs met; details how to tune in to what your body is telling you; teaches the reader to re-evaluate anger; and explores how to say "no" and survive, how to instigate scary conversations, and how to replace the personal rules that put you at the bottom of the pile.

評分我之前注册的豆瓣账号因为撕,注销了。 撕的起因,是我在豆瓣约稿,然后一个人投了十多次,但是每次要么质量不好,要么主题不合适,都没有用。她觉得我应该每次认真看她的稿子,写出修改意见,每次都应该回复,注明不能用的原因。这都每次收到一百多封投稿邮件的我来说太难了...
評分记得郭冬临的小品吗?那个连夜带着小马扎穿着军大衣帮人排火车票的普通人,口头禅是“有事您说话”。那角色就是这本书里所说的“圣母”。 “圣母型人格”不分男女老少、生活阶层,在各行各业各种人群中都有。我敢说注意到这本书的人,7成都是觉得自己有这问题,剩下3成也是身...
評分《欲望都市》中有一句我很喜欢的台词是:But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. (所有关系中最激动人心、最具挑战性、最意义重大的就是你和你自己的关系。) 谈及与人关系,我们最易想到的是与家人、恋...
