Also available in Spanish as El Nacisista Pasivo Agresivo. Find the answers you are looking for. This book delivers: A list of traits of the covert narcissist and how they look like in daily lifeThe differences between an overt and a covert narcissistA checklist to see if you are with a covert narcissistReal-life stories to illustrate what these traits look likeExplanations of different covert techniques narcissists use to control and manipulateA chapter dedicated to what sex looks like with a covert narcissistDescriptions of covertly narcissistic parents Information on what it looks like to have a covertly narcissistic boss or co-workerA chapter on healing to help give you tools and hope for a beautiful future, free of toxic relationships.You will see that you are not crazy, that your instincts are correct, and you will learn how to see through covert manipulation and control. The most common description a survivor of this type of relationship will use is crazy-making. The emotional abuse and gaslighting makes you question your own view of reality, and sometimes your own sanity. You will know after reading this book if the person you are with is a covert narcissist, and your experience with them will begin to make sense for the first time.When most people think of a narcissist, they think of someone who is grandiose, obviously self-absorbed, sees themself as superior to others, and throws fits of rage when they don't get their way. But what if the narcissist is one of the nicest people you've ever met? What if they are a great listener, seem to care about others, or are a pillar of the community? What if they are the mother that volunteers at the school, the husband that your friends wish they had, the boss that your co-workers feel so lucky to work for? Parents, spouses, partners, bosses, and friends who are covert narcissists come across as the nicest people. They can be spiritual leaders, therapists, moms who bring over casseroles to needy people, and bosses who everyone loves.A covert narcissist has the same traits of narcissism as the well-known overt type. The difference is when they control and manipulate, when they demean and devalue you, it is done in such a subtle way you don't notice it.This type of narcissism is one of the most damaging forms because the abuse is so hidden and so insidious. You can be in a relationship with a covert narcissist that can last for decades and not realize you are being psychologically and emotionally controlled, manipulated, and abused. There are no visible scars with this form of abuse, and you are usually the only one that experiences their destructive and psychologically debilitating behavior.Living with a covert narcissist drains your spirit and leaves you questioning your own reality. You have been lied to for years, and it is time to finally see the truth of what you have been through, who you really are, and how much you deserve love and happiness.

The author of the beloved No.1 bestseller The Shepherd's Life returns with a stirring history of family, loss and the land over three generations on a Lake District farm'I can't imagine anyone starting to read English Pastoral and not being eager to read it all at once, as I did, and not being moved by the life and the landscape Rebanks describes so well. I was thrilled by it' Philip Pullman As a boy, James Rebanks's grandfather taught him to work the land the old way. Their family farm in the Lake District hills was part of an ancient agricultural landscape: a patchwork of crops and meadows, of pastures grazed with livestock, and hedgerows teeming with wildlife. And yet, by the time James inherited the farm, it was barely recognisable. The men and women had vanished from the fields; the old stone barns had crumbled; the skies had emptied of birds and their wind-blown song. English Pastoral is the story of an inheritance: one that affects us all. It tells of how rural landscapes around the world were brought close to collapse, and the age-old rhythms of work, weather, community and wild things were lost. And yet this elegy from the northern fells is also a song of hope: of how, guided by the past, one farmer began to salvage a tiny corner of England that was now his, doing his best to restore the life that had vanished and to leave a legacy for the future. This is a book about what it means to have love and pride in a place, and how, against all the odds, it may still be possible to build a new pastoral: not a utopia, but somewhere decent for us all.

In a divided world, empathy is not the solution, it is the problem; Guiding us expertly through the experiments, case studies and arguments on all sides, Paul Bloom ultimately shows that some of our worst decisions - in charity, child-raising, criminal justice, climate change and war - are motivated by this wolf in sheep's clothing.

You already know the answer to that' Independent on Sunday

Notes on Grief is at once a tribute to a long life of grace and wisdom, the story of a daughter's fierce love for a parent, and a revealing examination of the layers of loss and the nature of grief.

Bogen er en 2 i 1 bog, som i billedbogsform leverer en god fortælling til både børn og voksne, mens den i et fyldigt efterskrift leverer videnskabeligt baserede oplysninger om børns seksuelle udvikling. Bogen er et opråb, da vi som samfund ifølge "Styrelsen for Undervisning og Kvalitet" og ifølge "Amnesty" ikke giver den nødvendige plads til børns nysgerrighed i forhold til krop og seksualitet. Billedbogs-delen henvender sig primært til mindre børn og børn i indskolingen i form af en spændende historie, som gør udforskningen af seksualitet til noget naturligt. Pigen Elba spørger sin far: "Far vil du ikke nok nusse min tissekone?" Dette spørgsmål bliver starten på en længere historie, hvor Elba får kigget i en anatomibog sammen med sine forældre, der forklarer om både drenges og pigers kønsorganer. Elba leger også med andre børn i børnehaven, hvor de udforsker sig selv og hinanden, og finder ud af, at det kilder og føles rart at blive stimuleret på sine kønsorganer. Pædagogen Anton er både accepterende, vejledende og korrigerende i forhold til børnenes indbyrdes lege, og viser dem, at det ikke er farligt, selvom nogen har overtrådt en andens grænser. Det handler bare om at få snakket om det, på samme måde, som var det en konflikt i sandkassen. Børn overtræder jævnligt hinandens grænser, og har derfor brug for voksenhjælp. I efterskriftet, som er rettet mod den mere modne læser, leveres der videnskabeligt baserede oplysninger om børns seksuelle udvikling. Her argumenteres der for, at børns mulighed for gradvist at udvikle en medfødt spirende seksualitet har betydning for, hvorvidt der udvikles en sund og velfungerende personlighed, som evner både nærvær, intimitet og respekt. Som nævnt, er der i den proces - som i alle andre sammenhænge med børn - behov for, at voksne regulerer og hjælper børn på vej i forhold til at være lydhøre overfor hinanden og samfundets normer. Dertil nævnes det, at denne læring om egen krop sammen med en fortrolighed i forhold til at tale om seksualitet, også kan være præventiv i forhold til seksuelle overgreb. Endelig skal det nævnes, at bogen vil være egnet som læse-let læsning for lidt større børn, der gradvist også vil kunne trække mere forståelse ud af bogens anatomiske illustrationer og ud af efterskriftet til voksne. Det er nemmere at skabe sunde og velfungerende børn, end at afhjælpe, når de bliver voksne. Findes også som lyd- og eBog. eBog: ISBN: 978-87-93824-02-7 Lydbog: ISBN: 978-87-93824-01-0

By diagnosing behaviour problems as 'mental illness', this book argues that psychiatry absolves the individual of responsibility for his actions, placing blame instead on the illness. It also argues that Freudian psychology is a dangerous pseudo-science, and critiques the overreach of psychology into the various aspects of modern life.

Brought to you by Penguin. Stop being a servant of the life you're living and become a creator of the world you want. Electrifying lessons in power, influence and persuasion to equalise women in an unequal world.Why do so many women feel they're too much yet not enough? How can you feel 'good and mad' yet reluctant to speak up in a meeting or difficult conversation? What causes women to freeze at critical moments?Kasia Urbaniak spent 17 years studying to become a Taoist nun. To foot the bill for her studies, she worked as a high-paid (and extremely successful) dominatrix in dungeons around New York City. What she learned in these two wildly different settings has turned into her life's work.UNBOUND brings Urbaniak's unique teachings for women on speaking power, persuading others and navigating conflict to a mainstream audience for the first time. Part polemic, part practical, it opens women's eyes to why they frequently find it so difficult - personally, professionally and socially - to raise their voices, why they freeze in challenging circumstances and what they can do to change this. Too often women find themselves in the role of 'sub' when they need to be more 'dom' - in short they are paralysed by their Good Girl Syndrome and a deep-seated need to please everyone and anyone except themselves. UNBOUND offers precise, practical instruction in how to stand in your power, find your voice and use it well. Part manual, part manifesto, it will help you cut through layers of self-censoring and self-doubt to go after what you truly want, and live your wildest, best and most satisfying life.(c) Kasia Urbaniak 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021
