Número de Páginas: 292

From one of the nation's preeminent experts on women and emotion, a breakthrough new book about how to stop negative thinking and become more productive It's no surprise that our fast-paced, overly self-analytical culture is pushing many people-especially women-to spend countless hours thinking about negative ideas, feelings, and experiences. Renowned psychologist Dr. Susan Nolen-Hoeksema calls this overthinking, and her groundbreaking research shows that an increasing number of women-more than half of those in her extensive study-are doing it too much and too often, hindering their ability to lead a satisfying life. Overthinking can be anything from fretting about the big questions such as "What am I doing with my life?" to losing sleep over a friend's innocent comment. It is causing many women to end up sad, anxious, or seriously depressed, and Nolen-Hoeksema challenges the assumption-heralded by so many pop-psychology pundits of the last several decades-that constantly expressing and analyzing our emotions is a good thing. In Women Who Think Too Much, Nolen-Hoeksema shows us what causes so many women to be overthinkers and provides concrete strategies that can be used to escape ...

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Women are more likely than men to fall into overthinking and remain stuck there. Take, for example, Veronica, a 27-year-old full-time mom with auburn hair and dancing brown eyes. She adored caring for her twin toddlers, but she found herself slipping into the muck of negativity and concern called overthinking: What’s wrong with me. #2 Women are twice as likely as men to become severely depressed or anxious, and our tendency to overthink appears to be one of the reasons why. We can rise above this epidemic of emotional oversensitivity and hypervolatility and learn to recognize and appropriately express the emotions we experience. #3 Overthinking is like trying to escape from quicksand. The first step to overcoming it is to break the grip of your thoughts so that they don’t continue to pull you down further, and eventually smother you. #4 Jenny was able to deal with her conflict with Sean by using a number of strategies to break the grip of her angry thoughts. She broke free from her initial ramblings by giving them a rest. She used a healthy, active distraction to release her mind from...

A Woman of No Importance

Autor: Oscar Wilde

Número de Páginas: 175

Staged in 1893, when Wilde had already achieved fame, wealth and notoriety, A Woman of No Importance was another attempt to fuse comedy of manners with high melodrama. Gerald Arbuthnot is a young man on the make, with an American heiress and the post of secretary to the brilliant but dissolute Lord Illingworth within his reach. When he asks his mother to celebrate with them, it turns out that Illingworth is Gerald's father, who seduced and abandoned his mother twenty years earlier. Loyalty weighs heavier than ambition, and Gerald declines the association with Illingworth. This edition, which also analyses Wilde's various drafts and revisions of the play, argues that the playwright here continued to explore the rivalry between an older man and woman for the affection of a beautiful young man.
