Book Description
Hidden forces—memories of past poor or hurtful relationships—drive repressed feelings and emotions that are often outside our awareness. Though we want to love and be loved, to nurture and be nurtured, those forces can wreak havoc and cause relationship sabotage, destroying couples and even whole families. The scenario is so common, explains therapist Matta, that often people get divorced without even fully understanding why, or what is was that came between them. In many cases, what it was were the lingering but unconscious memories of lessons learned as far back as childhood. These lessons may have no true bearing or justification in the current relationship, yet they can strongly affect it, fueling marital games, extra-marital affairs, addictions, poor parenting practices and a host of other harmful actions. Matta argues that we can learn to recognize these imprints and move past them to build or keep rewarding relationships. His book makes us aware, and gives us the tools to break the cycle.

Book Description
Unique, compelling, and at times ridiculous insights and lessons from the realm of romance. Why is dating so hard? Has Disney screwed us up? How many times have you entered into a new relationship immediately convinced that this person was “the one”? At last, you’ve met the partner who will “complete you,” make you feel like all those previous terrible relationships were somehow worth it, and finally complete your fantasy rom-com happy ending—your inner Jennifer Aniston already squealing with delight. How many times has that relationship abruptly veered off course, leaving your heart the victim of yet another romantic fatality? In her first book, Love and . . . , Jen Kim turns to science to make sense of why, after three decades, she hasn’t been able to find lasting love. She puts a lens to the destructive pathology of her relationships, including her current long-term relationship with a partner who “just isn’t ready” for the next level . . . and, honestly, may never be. Will they or won’t they end up together? You’ll learn the prognosis by the final page. Love and . . . is a relationship self-help book that doesn’t want you to change, mostly because a) it’s really hard to change, and b) you probably don’t want to. Kim focuses on the science and psychology behind why we behave the way we do, reserving judgement for no one, but herself.

Book Description
Self-help, personal growth, self-esteem... each is something we seek on our journey through life. Another stellar book by the leading authority on love, relationships, and high performance finds its way to readers who want to better manage the way they deal with shame, depression, anger, social anxiety, affairs of the heart, love-less marriages, poverty mindset, emotional eating, and career performance. With over 30 years of experience as a professional life and business coach, psychologist, individual and couples therapist, and seminar leader, Mamiko Odegard, PhD, provides practical and proven methods to overcome self-sabotage and transform common self-defeating behaviors. Are you ready to skyrocket your potential and achieve a level of success you've never thought possible? In a book sure to become a best seller, Overcoming Self-Sabotage: How to Jumpstart Your Love, Happiness and Financial Success, Dr. Odegard helps you recognize one key reality: the answers are already inside-you just have not yet learned the framework of transformation. If you are struggling to develop healthy habits and make rapid improvements in yourself-your health, mindset, and even relationships, then Overcoming Self-Sabotage is the book for you, and Dr. Mamiko Odegard is precisely the mentor you have been looking for! In these pages you will learn how to rid yourself of the negative mindset that has for far too long blocked you from the love, happiness and financial success you so richly deserve. You may well find this one of the most detailed overviews of self-sabotaging behavior you have yet to read. Mamiko's heart-warming empathic tales of success explode her theory that, "Moment by moment, people have the privilege and ability to make a choice to engage in either a self-sabotaging or self-enhancing behavior. Learning to tap into this power is the guide to freedom from inappropriate or crippling behaviors that sabotage our success."

Book Description
THIS IS A BOOK ABOUT SELF-SABOTAGE. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it-for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential. For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.
