Most of us feel “stuck with ourselves” at one time or another – and that negative aspects of our personality are deeply ingrained from childhood or genetics so therefore cannot be altered. But new studies have shown that changing aspects of your personality IS possible, giving new hope to anyone who wants to improve results in personal, family, business, and civic relationships. Based on the latest information from the fields of neuroscience and psychology, Dr. Gary Small presents a proven program anyone can use to assess their strengths and weaknesses, and then work on changing their negatives to positives. Small provides step-by-step advice that can show results in as little as 30 days. SNAP covers the difference between genetic personality traits and how your family experiences and the community you grow up in influences your personality – the key aspects of social programming. He then explains how it is possible to “reboot” your personality in order to become a more positive person., or to improve other aspects of personality such as being an introvert versus an extravert. Included is a self-assessment that readers can also use with friends and family. Also covered will be choosing and working the right psychotherapists, the upside and drawbacks of medications and alternative holistic therapies.

The Alzheimer's Prevention Program

Der Psychiater Gary Small öffnet seine Türen und zeigt uns eine Welt, in der nichts so ist wie wir es kennen: Menschen, die hysterisch erblinden, eine Schulklasse, die in Ohnmacht fällt, Männer, deren Penis schrumpft - oder Damen, die nackt auf dem Kopf stehen. In seinen 30 Berufsjahren hat Dr. Gary Small alles gesehen. Die Geschichten, die er davon erzählt, machen süchtig. Sie nehmen uns mit auf eine inspirierende Reise zu uns selbst - und am Ende werden wir begreifen, dass uns erst unsere Verschrobenheiten zu dem machen, was wir sind: menschliche Wesen.

Ein Psychiater erzählt

Als ich die nackte Dame im Kopfstand fand

Psichiatri e psicologi per molto tempo hanno nutrito la convinzione che la nostra personalità si formasse essenzialmente nella prima infanzia e rimanesse coerente per tutta la vita. Tuttavia recenti scoperte pionieristiche hanno infranto la falsa convinzione che ci troviamo bloccati nei tratti negativi della nostra personalità, che sono spesso ostacoli gravi alle nostre potenzialità in termini di felicità e successo. Da soli, con l’aiuto di un terapeuta o con una combinazione dei due possiamo infatti ottenere un cambiamento significativo della nostra personalità in pochissimo tempo, già in soli trenta giorni. Leggendo questo libro acquisirete una migliore comprensione di chi siete ora, di come vi percepiscono gli altri e di quali aspetti di voi stessi vorreste cambiare. Se pensate che una reazione emotiva indesiderata, un modello di interazione con gli altri o schemi di pensiero radicati vi imprigionano da tutta una vita, qui apprenderete gli strumenti per evitare anni di psicoterapia, autoesplorazione o rimuginazioni per ogni singolo evento negativo che vi sia capitato. Con un po’ di impegno a cambiare, acquisirete le tecniche utili per raggiungere i vostri obiettivi e migliorare voi stessi.
