No more Mr. Nice Guy
Author: Gaurav Garg
Publisher: Gaurav Garg
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Assertiveness is one of the most valuable skills anyone can cultivate, yet also one of the most challenging. After a lifetime of cultural conditioning toward compliance and conflict avoidance, embracing assertive communication requires transformative personal growth. It takes courage to find your voice after being silenced. My aim in writing this book is to provide guidance and encouragement for that journey based on both professional expertise and personal experience. I spent over a decade passive and afraid to advocate for myself. People-pleasing and swallowing negative emotions took immense psychological effort - not to mention enabling others to take advantage of me. Eventually, I reached a breaking point and committed to change. Through researching assertiveness skills, practicing them even when uncomfortable, and immersing myself in personal development, I slowly transformed my communication tendencies. The more I asserted my boundaries, expressed my needs, and claimed my worth, the more empowered I felt. It significantly improved my confidence, relationships, and career. Of course no one masters assertiveness overnight. It's a lifelong process, and I still stumble on occasion. But the overall trajectory has been transformative. My only regret is not embarking on the assertiveness journey sooner. It is my hope this book will shorten your learning curve. The pages ahead provide actionable steps for building assertiveness tailored to your specific challenges and personality. You'll learn how to navigate difficult conversations, confront manipulative behavior, break lifelong passive habits, overcome self-doubt and much more. Each chapter includes examples across both personal and professional contexts for diverse situations. No matter what assertiveness dilemmas you face, you will find applicable guidance within these pages. Most importantly, this book will remind you that becoming assertive is not about fixing yourself, but honoring and unleashing your true self. You deserve - and absolutely can - find your voice.

Architectures of Grace in Pastoral Care
Author: Douglas B. Olds
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666766976
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
An updating of virtue ethics for modern pastors and the souls they care for, this book proposes innovations for the craft of ministry in the theology of grace—how virtues radiate to tame strife and other destructive behaviors. It presents a comprehensive alternative to the top-down proclamations of “biblical counseling” approaches that try to impart, from an eclectic biblicist lens, cognitive authorities for consequential change. Instead, Christ’s bottom-up practice of virtues heals and fulfills by focusing on neighbor first and subordinating the ego’s strategic considerations—more graciously spreading God’s will in ministry through participatory and experiential knowledge. Virtuous pastoral ministries integrate the common grace of humanist learning to address the range of the care seeker’s contemporary context—her upbringing, struggles, and affiliations. This book presents more the “how” than the “what” of pastoral theology: more how the dance of mutuality and chivalry enters the spiritual flow of healing metaphysical grace than the “what” of right “belief.” Even so, pastoral care from the virtue ethical approach inevitably reconsiders “vending machine” theologies, destructive doctrinal boundaries, and context-lite biblicisms. This presentation introduces how virtue ethics apply to ministry, the household, individual trauma and addictions, and the contemporary political and cultural arena.
