Human Development

There are different kinds of difficult people, and what you'll learn first in this audiobook is to recognize them for who they are. You won't be able to cure them, they would have to go into therapy most of the time to become better versions of themselves. But you'll also find your weapons to overcome the obstacles these aggressive, negative, or just silent people erect on your path. Working in stages to assess the situation and the profile of the difficult people you face, you'll be able to shield yourself and turn their shortcomings into an opportunity for both of you.

Here, Jill Weber explains why women feel forced into a male model of dating that barters sex for the unrealistic hope that it will lead to emotional intimacy. What it leads to for the woman, most often, is disappointment, despair, and impaired self-esteem.

When this happens, women routinely blame themselves instead of realizing they should blame their romantic strategy.

Productive people don't have any more time in their days than you do, and they certainly aren't busier than you are. The main difference is focus.

Emotions are the energies that fuel people's lives. Emotions are instilled in us as infants without our awareness. They reduce our rationality and cause suffering, yet successful people make decisions more rationally. Society teaches us that emotions are desirable, but they keep us repeating our patterns, a form of bondage.

The principle of this extraordinary book is to help you uncover and neutralize the programming of your past by conquering the negative emotions in the present. The present holds the key to the past and the future, and that to continue reacting to cruel authority in an infantile way keeps alive what was implanted in you as a child. Somewhere in your distant past, there was an original upset or trauma - perhaps many of them. Someone or something that you deeply resented changed the course of your whole life.

Just what was it that allowed Homo sapiens to become masters of the planet? Ian Tattersall, curator emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History, takes us deep into the fossil record to uncover what made humans so special.
