"Finally! The book that helps you deal with irrational, impossible
people." - Oprah's Book Club 2.0 Let's face it: we all know people
who are downright irrational. No matter how hard you try to reason
with them, it never works. So what's the solution? How do you talk
to someone who just won't listen? What can you do with an
unrealistic boss, an angry spouse, or an overly emotional friend?
You can't win by ignoring the insanity-and you can't argue it away.
But you can stop it cold. Top-ranked psychiatrist and communication
expert Mark Goulston shows you how in Talking to "Crazy", a
life-changing book for everyone trapped in maddening personal or
professional relationships. Goulston unlocks the mysteries of the
irrational mind, and explains how faulty thinking patterns develop.
His keen insights are matched by a set of counterintuitive
strategies proven to defuse crazy behavior, along with scripts,
examples, and exercises that teach you how to use them. You'll
learn: Why people act the way they do * How instinctive responses
can exacerbate the situation-and what to do instead * When to
confront a problem and when to walk away * How to activate the
Sanity Cycle-which quickly transforms you from threat to ally * How
to use 14 simple, but effective communication techniques, including
assertive submission flattery, the kiss-off, and more * And much
more You can't reason with unreasonable people-but you can reach
them. This powerful and practical book shows you how.
Why Cope When You Can Heal? is an essential resource for doctors,
nurses, paramedics, and other healthcare professionals-and the
leaders who support them-as they navigate the traumatic stress they
have experienced and continue to face. COVID-19 has traumatized the
world-and no group has been more impacted than frontline healthcare
workers. They've worked without adequate personal protective
equipment (PPE), witnessed mass death, and been forced to make
choices that haunt them. Many have fallen ill, while others have
worried endlessly about their own health and that of their loved
ones. Additionally, all of this is happening in the context of a
divided nation, a struggling industry, and a "just get over it"
culture that exacerbates the problems healthcare workers face,
while minimizing their suffering. These factors have created the
perfect storm for widespread stress, depression, anxiety, and
hopelessness-and, increasingly, posttraumatic stress disorder
(PTSD). Medical doctor and psychiatrist Mark Goulston shares
practical, evidence-based techniques and treatments for managing
traumatic stress that will fill you with hope and inspiration. In
Why Cope When You Can Heal?, you will discover: real-world accounts
and experiences from frontline workers; an overview of treatment
options; and exercises, tools, and tips that you can use today.
This guide will help you-and those you love and support in the
COVID-19 battle-begin the process of healing from the inside out
and reconnect with the joys and rewards of career and life.
When you turn a crisis or even a trauma into a learning moment, it
will turn fear into courage and then determination. This leadership
roadmap shows you the way to successfully navigating through crisis
or trauma and coming out stronger on the other side. Organizational
trauma takes many forms. It could be a pandemic that disrupts the
way people work. An economic meltdown. An act of violence. A failed
merger. A layoff-or continual threats of one. Whatever the
scenario, events like these can traumatize leaders and employees,
sending everyone into survival mode. Here's the good news: when
leaders navigate a traumatic event effectively, the organization
doesn't just survive. In Trauma to Triumph, Mark Goulston, MD, and
Diana Hendel present a visionary and tactical roadmap to help
leaders create stability amid chaos and uncertainty, move
productively through a traumatic event, and flourish in ways
previously unimagined. After reading this book, readers will learn:
How the survival mechanism manifests in employees and leaders amid
trauma The predictable polarities, dilemmas, tensions and other
patterns that emerge in traumatized organizations...and how to
break these cycles Why lack of clarity in roles and poor
communication are dangerous in times of crisis (and how to avoid
these common pitfalls) How leaders can shift to a mindset that
helps create trust, confidence, safety, respect, and inspiration in
employees Best practices for leading yourself and others through
crisis; grieving losses, embracing healthy coping mechanisms,
reframing, and more How to launch a rapid-response process where
you "control the controllables" and create a framework for making
better decisions during a crisis High-impact tactics to help your
organization recover and heal in a way that doesn't just return to
baseline, but transcends it Filled with tools and tactics, Trauma
to Triumph is an organization-wide blueprint for navigating a
future where we'll likely experience one trauma or crisis after
another. It gives leaders at every level the guidance to create
confidence, courage, and enthusiasm in their team.
Getting through to someone is a critical, fine art. Whether you are
dealing with a harried colleague, a stressed-out client, or an
insecure spouse, things will go from bad to worse if you can't
break through emotional barricades and get your message thoroughly
communicated and registered. Drawing on his experience as a
psychiatrist, business consultant, and coach, author Mark Goulston
combines his background with the latest scientific research to help
you turn the "impossible" and "unreachable" people in their lives
into allies, devoted customers, loyal colleagues, and lifetime
friends. In Just Listen, Goulston provides simple yet powerful
techniques you can use to really get through to people including
how to: make a powerful and positive first impression; listen
effectively; make even a total stranger (potential client) feel
understood; talk an angry or aggressive person away from an
instinctual, unproductive reaction and toward a more rational
mindset; and achieve buy-in--the linchpin of all persuasion,
negotiation, and sales. Whether they're coworkers, friends,
strangers, or enemies, the first make-or-break step in persuading
anyone to do anything is getting them to hear you out. The
invaluable principles in Just Listen will get you through that
first tough step with anyone. With this groundbreaking book, you
will be able to master the fine but critical art of effective
communication.
Practical, proven steps show how to transform 40 common self-defeating behaviors, including procratination, envy, obsession, anger, self-pity, compulsion, neediness, guilt, rebellion, inaction, and more.
As Dr. Mark Goulston tells his patients who suffer from
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), "The fact that you're still
afraid doesn't mean you're in any danger. It just takes the will
and the way for your heart and soul to accept what the logical part
of your mind already knows." In Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder For
Dummies, Dr. Goulston helps you find the will and shows you the
way. A traumatic event can turn your world upside down, but there
is a path out of PTSD. This reassuring guide presents the latest on
