The Business of Friendship: Making the Most of Our Relationships Where We Spend Most of Our Time
by Shasta NelsonWant to be happier, healthier, and enjoy your job more?Make better friends at work.The data is in. It is virtually impossible to feel connected and supported in life when we don&’t feel that way where we spend most of our time—at work.

In addition to the 20% of us who report feeling lonely at work almost all the time, 60% of us report feeling it at least half the time., and that disconnection is taking a toll: more stress and burnout, less energy, decreased loyalty to our company, and increased dread for &“Monday morning.&”In The Business of Friendship, Shasta Nelson, a friendship expert, unpacks the distinct ways we can make work relationships the healthiest they can be, both for the sake of the employee and the mission of the company. She inspires readers to see why friendship is crucial to our health and our careers and teaches us exactly how to develop the supportive and meaningful connections we need.Our organizations benefit as well when our leaders encourage friendships at work. The outcome is higher levels of workplace productivity, employee retention, safety, innovation, collaboration, and profitability. In fact, having a best friend at work we are seven times more engaged in our job, which translates to better customer service, less absenteeism, fewer workplace accidents, and more loyalty to our organizations. The best employees are the ones who feel connected.Work is to adults as school is to kids—a consistent place with familiar people. But too few of us are taking advantage of this environment. This leaves us no other choice but to try to get all our relational needs met in our off-work hours, where most of us already report feeling &“too busy.&” The result? We stay lonely, wishing for more meaningful connections.Through Shasta&’s stories, research, and practical guidance, sheBreaks down what creates healthy bonds and reveals the 3 requirements necessary in all healthy relationships and teamsHelps managers and employees assess the health of their relationships and learn ways to repair and improve themProvides advice for addressing some of the biggest fears around workplace friendships, such as increased drama, favoritism, confidentiality, gossip, toxic coworkers, relationship with bosses, and potential romantic attractionsThe Business of Friendship is for those who are ready to maximize the two most significant factors of our wellbeing—career and relationships.

It's Not Always Depression: Working the Change Triangle to Listen to the Body, Discover Core Emotions, and Connect to Your Authentic Self
by Diana Fosha Hilary Jacobs HendelFascinating patient stories and dynamic exercises help you connect to healing emotions, ease anxiety and depression, and discover your authentic self. Sara suffered a debilitating fear of asserting herself. Spencer experienced crippling social anxiety. Bonnie was shut down, disconnected from her feelings. These patients all came to psychotherapist Hilary Jacobs Hendel seeking treatment for depression, but in fact none of them were chemically depressed. Rather, Jacobs Hendel found that they’d all experienced traumas in their youth that caused them to put up emotional defenses that masqueraded as symptoms of depression. Jacobs Hendel led these patients and others toward lives newly capable of joy and fulfillment through an empathic and effective therapeutic approach that draws on the latest science about the healing power of our emotions. Whereas conventional therapy encourages patients to talk through past events that may trigger anxiety and depression, accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), the method practiced by Jacobs Hendel and pioneered by Diana Fosha, PhD, teaches us to identify the defenses and inhibitory emotions (shame, guilt, and anxiety) that block core emotions (anger, sadness, fear, disgust, joy, excitement, and sexual excitement). Fully experiencing core emotions allows us to enter an openhearted state where we are calm, curious, connected, compassionate, confident, courageous, and clear. In It’s Not Always Depression, Jacobs Hendel shares a unique and pragmatic tool called the Change Triangle—a guide to carry you from a place of disconnection back to your true self. In these pages, she teaches lay readers and helping professionals alike • why all emotions—even the most painful—have value. • how to identify emotions and the defenses we put up against them. • how to get to the root of anxiety—the most common mental illness of our time. • how to have compassion for the child you were and the adult you are. Jacobs Hendel provides navigational tools, body and thought exercises, candid personal anecdotes, and profound insights gleaned from her patients’ remarkable breakthroughs. She shows us how to work the Change Triangle in our everyday lives and chart a deeply personal, powerful, and hopeful course to psychological well-being and emotional engagement.

Working with Dreams (Routledge Library Editions: Sleep and Dreams)
by Montague Ullman Nan ZimmermanOriginally published in 1979, this is a dream book with an outstanding difference: it takes the interpretation of dreams out of the realm of the professionals and gives it to the ultimate expert – the dreamer. Working with Dreams stresses the uniqueness of every dream and dreamer. With anecdotes and examples from their own dream groups, the authors show how to deal with the intimacy and honesty of a dream; how to explore its meanings without distorting them; how to let a dream tell us about ourselves and add to our understanding. Dr Ullman and Mrs Zimmerman start with the question of what is in a dream – what is real and what is symbolic? – and then go on to explain what happens during sleep and the way a dream develops. They cover remembering and recording dreams and dealing with the imagery of dreams. They illustrate the many predicaments that dreams depict, the self-deceptions we practice in relation to our dreams, and then show how dream groups – whether a family or a group of strangers – can work together to uncover the meaning of dreams. And they enrich their book by discussing everything from the history of dreams to the possibilities of dreams across space and time. The result is a storehouse of information about the world of dreams.
