A bestselling author and expert on the psychology of leadership identifies the critical ingredient for personal and professional well-being.Most leadership coaching focuses on helping leaders build their skills and knowledge and close performance gaps. These are necessary steps, but not sufficient. Using evidence from neuroscience and his work with leaders, Dr. Henry Cloud shows that the best performers draw on another vital resource: personal and professional relationships that fuel growth and help them surpass current limits.Popular wisdom suggests that we should not allow others to have power over us, but the reality is that they do, for better or for worse. Consider the boss who diminishes you through cutting remarks versus one who challenges you to get better. Or the colleague who always seeks the limelight versus the one who gives you the confidence to finish a difficult project. Or the spouse who is honest and supportive versus the one who resents your success. No matter how talented, intelligent, or experienced, the greatest leaders share one commonality: the power of the others in their lives.Combining engaging case studies, persuasive findings from cutting-edge brain research, and examples from his consulting practice, Dr. Cloud argues that whether you're a Navy SEAL or a corporate executive, outstanding performance depends on having the right kind of interpersonal connections to fuel personal growth and minimize toxic associations and their effects. Presenting a dynamic model of the impact these different kinds of connections produce, Dr. Cloud shows readers how to get more from themselves by drawing on the strength and expertise of others. You don't have a choice whether others have power in your life, but you can choose what kinds of relationships you want.

Is your life out of control? Do people take advantage of you? Do you have trouble saying no? Are you disappointed with God because of unanswered prayers? Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. A boundary is a personal property line that marks those things for which we are responsible. In other words, boundaries define who we are and who we are not. Boundaries impact all areas of our lives: Physical boundaries helps us determine who may touch us and under what circumstances. Mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own thoughts and opinions. Emotional boundaries help us deal with our own emotions and disengage from the harmful, manipulative emotions of others. Spiritual boundaries help us distinguish God's will from our own and give us renewed awe for our Creator. Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend offer Biblically based answers to tough questions, showing us how to set healthy boundaries with our parents, spouses, children, friends, co-workers, and even ourselves.

'Ægteskab og Grænser' hjælper jer til at forstå de vanskelige ting i jeres ægteskab og til at løse problemerne, før de opstår. Absolut en bog du må læse, hvad enten du er nygift eller allerede har vundet sølv eller guld.Bogen er skrevet af psykologerne Cloud og Townsend, der også har skrevet bøgerne 'Hvor Går Grænsen' og Børn og Grænser'. 'Ægteskab og Grænser' handler om at fremme kærligheden, dyrke den, udvikle den og reparere den, når det er nødvendigt, ved at skabe et miljø, hvor der er frihed og ansvarlighed. Når to mennesker har frihed til at være uenige, har de også frihed til at elske. Uden denne frihed, dør kærligheden.De fleste af os har intet større ønske, end at vi må opleve kærlighed, hengivenhed og intimitet hele livet sammen med den person, vi skal dele det med. Ægteskabet er en af Guds største gaver, så det er umagen værd at arbejde på det.Men når to mennesker tager ansvar for at gøre, hvad der er bedst for deres ægteskab, stortrives kærligheden. Bogen giver praktisk information, eksempler, skemaer og forslag, som kan hjælpe dig med at sætte de nødvendige grænser i dit ægteskab og undgå og/eller løse mange konflikter. Et forhold som ægteskabet kræver, at hver partner har en klar bevidsthed om, at han eller hun 'ejer' sig selv og tager ansvar for sig selv. Grænser er ikke noget, man sætter for en anden person, det handler om selvkontrol, om én selv, den eneste person, man kan bestemme over. Om at definere sig selv, om at identificere 'bjælken' i sit eget øje (Mt.7,5).

I 'Hvor går grænsen' giver psykologerne Cloud og Townsend dig redskaber til at sætte de sunde grænser, der er nødvendige for at leve et harmonisk liv. Er dit liv ude af kontrol? Udnytter andre dig? Har du svært ved at sige nej? Er du skuffet over Gud, fordi dine bønner ikke er blevet opfyldt?At sætte klare grænser er en forudsætning for en sund og harmonisk livsstil. En grænse markerer den personlige "ejendomsret" inden for hvilken, det er dig, der har ansvaret. Med andre ord: Dine grænser definerer, hvem du er - og hvem du ikke er.At sætte grænser er en god ting. Alligevel føler vi det ubehageligt. At sætte grænser handler ikke om at være ligeglad. Eller om at finde en undskyldning. Det handler om at ville det gode ved at repræsentere sine egne værdier og mål.Fantastisk lærerig bog der helt sikkert vil give dig en ny indsigt i din egen person og kaste lys over mange af fortidens frustrationer.
