      The book explores the theme of deception, particularly in the context of women's experiences and perceptions. Upon its release, the author found that many women were reluctant to engage with the topic, often dismissing it with statements like "Well, I don't do deception." This response highlights a societal reluctance to confront the complexities of honesty and deceit in personal relationships, prompting a deeper examination of how these themes resonate with women's lives.

      Úzkosť, strach, neistota či neustále obavy nás doslova môžu ochromiť a viesť až k nečinnosti – či už v oblasti vzťahov, alebo v práci. Aj keď sa týmto emóciam nemôžeme vyhnúť, lebo sú súčasťou nášho života, Harriet Lerner vo svojej knihe opisuje postup, ako sa s nimi vysporiadať. Na základe skutočných príbehov z vlastnej terapeutickej praxe ukazuje, ako vhodne reagovať na najzákladnejšie ľudské obavy, akými sú strach z odmietnutia, vystúpenia na verejnosti, kritiky či ublíženia si. Vysvetľuje, čo vyvoláva úzkostné stavy ľudí na pracovisku a učí nás, ako si v takom prostredí zachovať vnútorný pokoj a jasné uvažovanie. Snaží sa nám aj ukázať, ako „neustále pozitívne myslenie“ pomáha, ale aj ubližuje. Aj keď vo svojej knihe rieši vážne témy, snaží sa zachovať si nadhľad a zmysel pre humor.

    • 2012

      Auch Regeln können sexy sein. Kann man etwas so emotionales wie eine Beziehung mit Hilfe von Regeln retten, heilen und glücklich gestalten? Harriet Lerner, eine der renommiertesten Ehetherapeutinnen unserer Zeit, beweist: Ja, man kann. von den Problemklassikern – „er hört mir nicht zu“, „ich kann ihr nichts recht machen“ – bis hin zu komplexeren Schwierigkeiten im Umgang mit Kritik, Streit, Sex, Kindern oder dem Bedürfnis nach Nähe bietet die Autorin überraschende Lösungen an. Und sie verspricht: allein die Beachtung von zehn Regeln wird unserer Partnerschaft eine völlig neue, positive Dynamik verleihen.

    • 2009

      Bestselling author Harriet Lerner focuses on the challenge and the importance of being able to express one's "authentic voice" in intimate relationships. The key problem in relationships, particularly over time, is that people begin to lose their voice. Despite decades of assertiveness training and lots of good advice about communicating with clarity, timing, and tact, women and men find that their greatest complaints in marriage and other intimate relationships are that they are not being heard, that they cannot affect the other person, that fights go nowhere, that conflict brings only pain. Although an intimate, long-term relationship offers the greatest possibilities for knowing the other person and being known, these relationships are also fertile ground for silence and frustration when it comes to articulating a true self. And yet giving voice to this self is at the center of having both a relationship and a self. Much as she did in THE MOTHER DANCE, Lerner will approach this rich subject with tales from her personal life and clinical work, inspiring and teaching readers to speak their own truths to the most important people in their lives.

      'Tue, was du fürchtest, und die Furcht wird dir fremd!' Harriet Lerner hält es mit Dale Carnegie und empfiehlt, den drei Schlüsselemotionen Angst, Furcht und Scham die Stirn zu bieten. Nur wenn wir lernen, mit diesen 'ungebetenen Gästen' bewusst umzugehen, sie als Teil unseres Lebens zu akzeptieren, können wir ein zufriedeneres, glücklicheres und freieres Leben führen - ohne Angst vor Zurückweisung, Minderwertigkeitskomplexen oder der Hektik am Arbeitsplatz. 'In unterhaltsamer und oft witziger Weise vermittelt Lerner ihren Leserinnen und Lesern, wie sie ein gesundes Gleichgewicht zwischen heilsamen und belastenden Ängsten erreichen können. Ein eingängig geschriebenes und höchst lesenswertes Buch.' Publishers Weekly
