Claude M. Steiner (1935 to 2017) was a bestselling author and psychotherapist who pioneered the popular field of Transactional Analysis, which involves analysis of an individual's social interactions as a basis for understanding behavior. First published in 1981 and now back in print with a new package, The Other Side of Power is the sequel to Dr. Steiner's influential Scripts People Live and feels as relevant today as ever. Power-we all want it, we all need it. We feel its effects in our business, family, and personal relationships. In this accessible volume, Dr. Steiner shows how everyone can be powerful without being power-hungry. Instead of chasing the increasingly empty and improbably "conventional American power dream," as Dr. Steiner puts it, the other side of power-our own personal strengths-can be used to get us what we want. This humane approach is not predicated upon the exploitation or manipulation of others, which leads to power for the few and not the many. In clear terms and with specific examples, the author shows how to draw instead upon individual strengths to neutralize and turn to advantage situations that could otherwise result in feeling of powerlessness. The Other Side of Power teaches us that once we understand the nature of power, we can learn to deal with it more comfortably and use it toward more rewarding personal and professional relationships. Dr. Steiner's classic in psychological theory offers a meaningful and practical guide to harnessing the other side of power.

Then we add the four parts of our Challenge Guide; 1 Horton to Pen-y-ghent, 2 Pen-y-ghent to Whernside, 3 Whernside to Ingleborough, 4 Ingleborough to Horton. The gps track and 47 waypoints (highlighted on the map) of our Challenge is available as a free gpx file download, and can be used on all gps phone apps and gps units. On the reverse of the map sheet is our Locator Map using OS Opendata showing the location of, and access to, the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge relative to a wide area of England. The result is a double sided 600mm by 600mm map design. We then print the map design on a 100 micron plastic substrate using a special UV curing inks process on the UK's only press capable of using this latest technology. The result is a lightweight map that is both waterproof and tearproof, and fully recyclable, that will survive anything your Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge can throw at it and afterwards will fold up like new.
