A problem shared is a problem halved? Not necessarily... Talking about our problems isn't always a good idea. World-renowned psychologist Timothy Wilson reveals how this, and many other conventional therapies and interventions, can often do us more harm than good. Presenting the very latest research, Wilson argues that the key to transforming our lives lies simply in learning to redirect the stories we tell ourselves. His revolutionary approach reveals how reshaping our internal narratives can increase our personal well-being and transform our understanding of human behaviour - our narratives can change surprisingly quickly if tweaked in the right way. How can we best recover from trauma? Why might some sex education result in more teen pregnancies? Why will most self-help books leave you worse off? Redirect proposes a radical new view of the world. It also offers a range of practical advice - that has, crucially, been tested scientifically and found to have real results - that can show us the way to social progress.

Once upon a time, long, long ago when there were no therapists, counselors, or psychiatrists, we relied upon each other to learn lifes lessons, which enabled us to survive and prosper.Presented in this small collection of thoughts are ideas which every one of you may have possessed.These ideas were put together in a simple form with hopes of helping you in strengthening all your relationships and having a better life.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The premise of psychological debriefing is that when people have experienced a traumatic event, they should air their feelings as soon as possible so that they don’t develop post-traumatic stress disorder. But is this really helpful. #2 The writing technique, which people do in private weeks after the event, is more effective than CISD. It helps people heal, and it doesn’t cause any psychological problems. #3 The writing exercise helps people redirect their interpretations in healthier ways than CISD does. Our minds automatically interpret events and situations, and these interpretations are based on past experience and the context in which we experience something. #4 Our interpretations are rooted in the narratives we construct about ourselves and the social world, and they can be positive or negative. They can help us motivate us to do better, or they can lead us down a path of unhealthy pessimism.

From Angular core team member and creator of the router About This Book Written by the creator of the Angular router, giving you the best information straight from the source Get full coverage of the entire Angular Router library and understand exactly how every command works Essential for all serious users of Angular who need to manage states within their applications Who This Book Is For To get the most from this book, you should already have a good understanding of Angular and general web development. What You Will Learn Understand the role of the Angular router and how to make the most of it Build and parse complex URLs Learn about the componentless and empty-path routes Take control of states in your application Make use of imperative navigation Understand guards and how they can benefit your applications Optimize configuration and run tests on your routing In Detail Managing state transitions is one of the hardest parts of building applications. This is especially true on the web, where you also need to ensure that the state is reflected in the URL. In addition, you might want to split applications into multiple bundles and load them on demand. Doing this transparently isn't easy. The Angular router solves these problems. Using the router, you can declaratively specify application states, manage state transitions while taking care of the URL, and load bundles on demand. This book is a complete description of the Angular router written by its designer. It goes far beyond a how-to-get-started guide and talks about the library in depth. The mental model, design constraints, and the subtleties of the API-everything is covered. You'll learn in detail how to use the router in your own applications. Predominantly, you'll understand the inner workings of the router and how you can configure it to work with any edge cases you come across in your sites. Throughout the book, you'll see examples from real-world use in the MailApp application. You can view the full source of this application and see how the router code works to manage the state of the application and define what is visible on screen. Reading this book will give you deep insights into why the router works the way it does and will make you an Angular router expert. Style and approach This is an extremely practical book full of code examples and descriptions to help you understand the inner workings of the Angular router.
