A beautiful blend of storytelling, science and practical tools. Smith uses her expertise to introduce true boundary setting tools to build (and rebuild) our relationships to others and ourselves. Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair PlayWhen s the last time you felt as composed as you portray to your boss, family and friends? If there s a discord between the two, you re not alone. Humans are master pretenders - we often seem stronger, calmer and more mature than we really are, while the truth is we re full of doubts and self-criticism that pushes us to borrow reassurance from friends, beliefs from strangers on the internet, or attention that, in the moment, makes us feel successful, but leaves us totally hollow and burnt out. Dr. Smith uses examples from her own life and the lives of her therapy patients to explain how we borrow confidence, calmness and beliefs from our relationships and offers solutions and steps for building a life with our own best-thinking. She also unpacks the science of our social nature, explaining why we re so focused on others and teaching us how to interrupt anxious relationship patterns. If a reader is unsure if the career path they re on is one they want to stay on, Dr. Smith will show them how to redefine what a successful career means to them. If they only feel steady when overfunctioning for others, she ll help them learn how to let others be responsible for themselves. By the end of the book, readers will have learnt to stop people-pleasing and be armed with a new set of principles and a new sense of self, ready to stand strong in the face of any challenge.

Our history has been linked with that of animals since the very beginning of human life on Earth. This bond has grown stronger and stronger over the centuries, and some creatures have become real animal celebrities. Some of them are famous because they supported their owners in the conquest of new lands or in great battles, such as Hannibals elephants. Others went down in history as true heroes in dangerous situations, such as the pigeon Cher Ami, that carried war orders right from the battle frontline. In this book youll read the true stories of these animals, and many others. At the very end, youll find a section dedicated to animals that never existed, but that are still part of our mythology and culture. Lidské dějiny jsou již od svého prvopočátku spojeny se zvířaty. Tento svazek během staletí sílil a některá zvířata se stala stejně slavnými jako lidé. Některá sloužila svým pánům při dobývání nových území nebo s nimi bojovala ve velkých bitvách, jako sloni vojevůdce Hannibala. Jiní vstoupili do historie, protože se stali protagonisty nebezpečných situací, jako poštovní holubice Cher Ami, která přinášela válečné rozkazy přímo do ohniska bitvy. V této knize si můžeš přečíst nejen příběhy těchto velkých spojenců a přátel člověka, ale ještě mnoho dalšího. Knihu totiž doplňuje kapitola o zvířatech, která nikdy neexistovala, patří však do světové mytologie i naší kultury. Otevři s námi knihu, která tě potěší i poučí.
