In today’s world, almost everyone faces something called dark psychology. Being ignorant about this topic leaves you open to being taken advantage of. It’s time for you to learn about manipulation and persuasion. If you think you’re safe, know that large corporations, politicians, and businesses use these methods to drive you to buy their products, services, or to place your trust in them to run the country. It’s easy enough to protect yourself against dark psychology; if you’re aware of the methods and tactics used, you become less likely to fall for them.

It’s a pivotal time for women leaders. On one hand, studies show women are woefully underrepresented in the highest echelons of corporate leadership. On the other, we’ve made huge strides in the political arena, while the global business world increasingly values the “soft skills” we’re naturally good at. So, what does all of this mean for women who aspire to the C-suite? Deb Boelkes has a simple message: Go for it. Conditions have never been more favorable. Boelkes lays out a blueprint for getting out of your own way so you can make real progress.

"Get over it" is stuck in the DNA of many of us. We were just told to stop feeling sad, and everything would just go away, Fritz Perls style. Fix the façade, and the interior would somehow come into alignment. Today, we know better; we know that it's not the mind we need to correct, it's the heart. How to Heal a Broken Heart speaks to the head - the "get over it" place. This new sequel speaks from the heart in Bronson's empathetic style, in a way that only this emotional heart surgeon can.
