as a novel' - Miranda Levy, author of THE INSOMNIA DIARIES on TwitterIt is very rare as an adult to find a place where you are not judged, where you can be open, honest and vulnerable: that is exactly what coaching provides. Through twenty stories from her 32 years in the coaching room, Jenny demonstrates how even the most successful people can be held back by doubts, limitations and human dilemmas, such as: · 'Can I be my real self at work?'· 'What's my purpose in life?'· 'How do I deal with unhappiness and disappointment?'· 'Should I go for a job where I get paid a fortune but know I'd be miserable?'Through these moving, beautifully written stories, Jenny reflects on the meaning of modern relationships, demonstrating how the courage to be vulnerable can make a huge, transformative difference to the quality of all our lives.

Par Juraida Latif, Shaakirah Dockrat, G. Hussein Rassool. 2024
This book provides Islāmic psychology practitioners a framework on integrating evidence-based approaches of spiritual interventions based on Islāmic jurisprudence (Shari’ah…
with therapy). Covering both the theoretical and theological underpinnings of religious coping from an Islāmic perspective while also serving as a practical guide, this text delivers an integrative approach which can be used in psychotherapy to ensure a more holistic process of healing and well-being. It outlines the positive and essential contributions that interventions rooted in Qur’ânic and Sunnah evidence can make in terms of prevention, treatment, and recovery, describing a wide variety of practices and beliefs. Chapters focus on highlighting the importance of daily supplications and prayers, as well as other Prophetic remedies as part of a comprehensive, encompassing therapeutic plan for not only psycho-spiritual, but also physiological afflictions. This book provides all Muslim mental health practitioners, trainees, and students as well as healthcare workers in Muslim communities with an accessible guide to using Islāmic spiritual interventions in therapeutic practice.This book is the first of its kind to apply social contextual analysis to the issue of poverty. It sets…
out detailed accounts of poverty based on original research and shows how understanding life contexts can give us a deeper understanding of the issue.The book highlights detailed life contexts from a project exploring the everyday experience of poverty, including what poverty is and what psychology has to say about poverty. It showcases work from an original study in Australia that uses on-the-ground participatory interview research, integrating this with international literature to provide a comprehensive analysis of poverty. The chapters explore the complexity, and often the simplistic reductions used in answering questions that try to define poverty, the psychological understanding of the phenomena, how individuals experience it, and the general opinion of the status-quo regarding poverty. However, most importantly the book tries to investigate why we have not solved poverty in modern, capitalist life, and sets out recommendations for research, practice, and policy in addressing issues of poverty.Showing the need for rigorous and on-the-ground approaches to addressing poverty and its many complications, the book will be highly relevant to students and researchers in the fields of social psychology, critical psychology, community psychology, social work, and social policy. It will also be relevant for anyone interested in the application of social psychological research techniques to the understanding and intervention of social issues, by showing pathways to better explore and understand human behaviour.For centuries, the fruit of the Spirit has rightfully served as a wellspring of reflection on the virtues that epitomize…
the Christian life and character-building. However, the notion of the fruit of the Spirit is not limited solely to forming the biblical foundation of ethical living.Psychologist and theologian Zoltán Dörnyei argues that if we understand the nine attributes collectively as a concise portrayal of the ideal Christian self, this approach places the notion of the fruit of the Spirit at the intersection of several important theological themes, such as being conformed to the divine image, the gradual advancement of the kingdom of God, and new creation. In The Psychology of the Fruit of the Spirit, Dörnyei offers a scholarly exposition of the relevant theological content associated with the fruit of the Spirit. Complementing his theological reflections with findings from the field of psychology, he brings expertise in both psychology and theology to bear on this important biblical concept. His integrated perspective helps to uncover the full meaning and theological potential of the fruit of the Spirit by helping to clarify the nature of its nine facets, defining broader psychological dimensions that underlie the fruit, and offering practical lessons for cultivating it in the Christian life.This book is an exploration of the entangled spatial relationships with and within organizations and research practice. Situating our environment…
as an active participant in the outcomes of day-to-day living heightens the role space can have as a co-creator of experience, behaviour and emotion. Physical environments tend to fade into the background, becoming an unseen, untended, accompaniment in our journey. However, through active attunement and deep noticing, spatial details arise through our bodies, senses, conversations and physical encounters. As the nature of work continues to evolve, understanding and shifting our relationship with the work environment broadens the scope of how space and work are engaged and performed. This thoughtful book will be of great interest to academics and students of organisational studies, as well as those involved in interdisciplinary research across geography, anthropology and the social sciences.Coping with the Stress of First Responder Life“…a work of major importance that offers practical approaches to self-care and serenity…
