It is said that the cost of attracting a new customer is six times the cost of keeping an old one. This book clarifies how you can be professional and human at the same time. Actually the author claims that it is only when you are truly human that you can be professional. Communication tools for many different kinds of situations. Support in dealing with "difficult people" or challenging dilemmas. Plenty of useful ideas that can be implemented directly. And much more...

At the same time she gives the reader concrete tools that can be used to create more freedom and choice in all life situations. In the afterword of the book Liv writes: What initially was meant as a small booklet on anger grew and grew and grew. Anger, shame and guilt were originally only three expressions of emotions mixed with thoughts that I found interesting. I had no idea what I would find beneath the surface when I really took the time to take a closer look at guilt, shame and anger. But now I look forward to the next time I feel shame, guilt or anger, and hope that you feel this way too! [Publit].

This book presents ideas on how to communicate and connect with others from your heart. Through stories, definitions and cartoons it will inspire you to go deeper in your exploration of what really matters in human communication.

The recognition and reconciliation of ‘opposites’ lies at the heart of our most personal and global problems and is arguably one of the most neglected developmental tasks of Western education. Such problems are ‘wicked’ in the sense that they involve real-life decisions that have to be made in rapidly changing contexts involving irreducible tensions and paradoxes. By exploring our human tendency to bifurcate the universe, Education for Wicked Problems & the Reconciliation of Opposites proposes a way to recognise and (re)solve some of our most wicked problems. Applying an original theory of bi-relational development to wicked problems, Adam proposes that our everyday ways of knowing and being can be powerfully located and understood in terms of the creation, emergence, opposition, convergence, collapse and trans-position of dyadic constituents such as nature/culture, conservative/liberal and spirit/matter. He uses this approach to frame key debates in and across domains of knowledge and to offer new perspectives on three of the most profound and related problems of the twenty-first century: globalisation, sustainability and secularisation. This book is a comprehensive study of dyads and dyadic relationships and provides a multidisciplinary and original approach to human development in the face of wicked problems. It will be of great interest to students and academics in education and psychosocial development as well as professionals across a range of fields looking for new ways to recognise and (re)solve the wicked problems that characterise their professions.

This book can help you make shame, guilt and anger your allies instead of our enemies. They can become keys to your inner life and to your dreams. Getting to know these feelings will help you better meet your needs for respect, acceptance, belonging and freedom.
