Insight, explanations, and practical solutions for overcoming insecurity and sensitivity -- from a top psychologist

In simple language, Joseph Nowinski explains that insecurity is not a flaw or shortcoming, but rather a personality trait that reflects both temperament and life experiences. And, most important, he shows how insecurity can be conquered so that one can thrive -- especially in work and love.

The first book to investigate insecurity, The Tender Heart sheds light on its common causes and provides guidelines for overcoming the self-doubt, debilitating self-consciousness, and chronic lack of confidence that prevent many people from enjoying life to its fullest. Combining personality quizzes and case histories of people who have conquered their insecurities, The Tender Heart offers expert advice on:

• Healing insecurity

• Avoiding emotional predators who seek out sensitive people

• Coping with a tough-hearted partner or colleague

• Finding your emotional mate

• Raising children who are self-confident

The Tender Heart is for anyone who has experienced times when their own insecurity or the insecurity of others has interfered with valued relationships or prevented them from realizing their potential.

Quantum change is an exhilarating concept--the words imply major upheaval, as well as the potential for great new achievements Six Questions That Can Change Your Life doesn't focus on the surface of success or relationships, but rather on a deeper level of emotional awareness that opens the way for a true vision of life happiness.

The questions themselves are deceptively simple. "Who am I," "Where do I belong," and "Who loves me" are possible to answer in just a few sentences, but also demand a closer look. Author Joseph Nowinski uses these questions to urge us forward, looking at what our deepest wishes are and how to manifest them, rather than as an analysis of past behavior. Combining gentle encouragement with a sterner voice, he insists we get past the demands of society's rules and "shoulds" in order to find lasting satisfaction and reconciliation between our day-to-day lives and our larger dreams.

Simple exercises are included to help identify your temperament, talents, and desires, and Nowinski's continual use of case studies provides plenty of captivating personal stories. Most importantly, his positive focus repeatedly returns to the point that "what matters most is not the questions you've been asking yourself until now--it's your willingness to try asking yourself some new ones." --Jill Lightner.

Violent behavior Eating disorders Drug use and drinking Self- mutilation These are just some of the troubling issues arising with increased frequency among teens. As they negotiate adolescence, our children become harder to reach -- and are more at risk. In order to help them, we need to understand what is really behind their problems. The answer lies in the very nature of adolescence: the quest for identity.

"Who am I?" is the central question of growing up, and The Identity Trap gets to the heart of why our teens so easily fall prey to their own worst impulses and to the destructive habits of their peers. Nowinski, a psychologist who has worked with troubled teens for over two decades, demonstrates that traditional methods of discipline (e.g. reward and punishment) will have no lasting effect if the root causes of teens' problems are left unchecked. This eye-opening book offers real solutions for opening the lines of communication and helping children survive the seemingly universal perils of growing up.

Filled with inspiring real-life stories, The Identity Trap will resonate with those parents frustrated by their inability to combat their children's problems; with parents looking to prevent problems; and with professionals seeking a better way to help kids find the right path to adulthood..
