  Confidence and decisiveness are critical life skills that many people struggle to develop. For listeners who want to take charge of their lives, The Four Paths of Assertiveness provides an indispensable guide to developing and practicing this crucial ability. Youth advocate Scott Cooper and psychologist Naoki Yoshinaga, PhD, identify four categories of assertiveness—social, behavioral, emotional, and mental—and explain how to hone these skills to live a happier life and develop healthier relationships. 
   
   
   
  Cooper and Yoshinaga expand the definition of assertiveness to include the core elements of speaking up, jumping in, embracing compassion, and accepting life. Speaking up is critical for standing up for ourselves. Jumping in helps us achieve our goals. Embracing compassion supports us in responding to the universal challenge of suffering, including our own. And accepting life means coping with ups and downs. Each chapter focuses on how to practically develop these four aspects of assertiveness and features tools for how to apply these strategies in everyday life. 
   
   
   
  Grounded in decades of happiness studies and current trends in behavioral psychology, this guide teaches listeners how to live intentionally while staying true to themselves and strengthening their relationships.

  Healing Pluto Problems - An...

  Discover how understanding Pluto in your birth chart can help you understand aspects of your childhood, adulthood, and your life.   In Healing Pluto Problems, Donna Cunningham explains how Pluto functions in the birth chart and shows how Plutonian problems can manifest throughout one’s life. Pluto’s energy is extremely potent and powerful. In astrology, it is considered a “generational planet”—the length of its orbit (248 years) means it influences both individuals and entire generations as it travels through the zodiac. Cunningham shows how transiting Pluto aspects can affect childhood, adulthood, and life in general.   Symbolically, Pluto governs our compulsive behavior—all those things we know we shouldn’t do but feel compelled to do anyway. It also represents the hidden dimension of our emotional lives, all the parts of ourselves that we’d rather bury in our subconscious and not reveal to others. With numerous case studies to bring her insights to life, Cunningham’s interpretations, written with care and compassion, are straightforward and easy to grasp. She presents her material with warmth and empathy, without avoiding the tough lessons that Pluto has to offer.   Cunningham addresses such topics as  Guilt, resentment, and fear  Emotional secrets and their contribution to self-isolation  Incest, abuse, and domestic violence  Pluto and the need for power and control  The psychology of being a victim  Death and transformation  The consequences of avoiding grief    Interested not only in diagnosing Pluto problems, Cunningham also gives us tools for healing those problems—affirmations, flower remedies, exercises for working with the chakras—and shows us how to use Pluto transits for growth.   This Weiser Classics edition includes a foreword by Lisa Stardust, author of Saturn Return Survival Guide.  “In astrology, Pluto represents destruction and creation. Pluto is a dwarf planet that is always pushing us to evolve and grow so that we align with the times and themes of our lives. This ultimate, evolutionary experience brings us to our truest selves. As lord of the underworld, Pluto represents the juxtaposition between life and death—that which defines transformation.    “Donna Cunningham’s Healing Pluto Problems was the first book I read on Pluto. It helped me comprehend the depths and significance of Pluto and how to use the planet to my advantage. Also, it gave me a chance to see myself clearly and understand my feelings. Not only that, but I gained insight into my relationships. I can honestly say that I have become a more mature and self-aware person from reading this book. Now I know why I act out when pushed to the limit and how to temper myself when I begin to seek such actions.” —from the foreword
