David D. Burns “Swearing can’t be put up”

A simple experiment: imagine a person unpleasant to us. And imagine that there is a magic button on the table in front of us: if we press it, we will become best friends with him. Well, are you ready? “I don’t feel like pressing that button either,” the author admits. He claims that some part of us … enjoys the enmity.

A simple experiment: imagine a person unpleasant to us. And imagine that there is a magic button on the table in front of us: if we press it, we will become best friends with him. Well, are you ready? “I don’t feel like pressing that button either,” the author admits. He claims that some part of us… enjoys strife. Well, let’s say we agreed with her. But in our environment there are lazy people, and stubborn, and egoists … And I want to avoid conflicts. So it’s still a magic button? Even as many as five! The first is called the “disarming technique”: “You find the truth in what a person says, even if his words seem completely meaningless and unfair.” There are four more left. Yes, it takes courage to read this book. But it also brings great benefits.

EKSMO, 288 p.
