(Books I am currently reading. --Alex Chapunoff)
* The Power of Now (Eckhart Tolle) Every now (pun intended) and again, I like to read from this book. Just a few pages can do a lot to refresh me. * Against the Day (Thomas Pynchon) Epic 1,100-page novel about the cutting edge of science and politics in the Belle Epoque. Funny, brilliant, poetic. Reveals how every time period is “modern” to those living in it. * Using Your Brain—For a Change (Richard Bandler) Lectures, by one of the founders of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), on submodalities (the different ways you see, hear, and feel mentally) and how you can work with them to improve your psychological patterns. * From Power to Exile: How I Was Overthrown and By Whom (Juan Perón) Reprint of a rivetting and articulate magazine article written in 1956 by the then-recently-deposed president of Argentina (yes, Evita's husband).

This book follows an analytical approach to psychotherapy versus, let’s say, a cognitive-behavioral or RET (rational-emotive therapy) approach. The latter approaches try to fix problems from a present-focused perspective and look to change a person’s behavior, thoughts and feelings. Analytical approaches — e.g., those of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung — search for hidden connections, meanings, dreams, and look to see how these are interlinked in a person’s life. An example of an analytical question would be: “What ideas occur to you in connection to that dream?” By Dana Baduna, PhD, LMFT
This book proposes seven steps to self-transformation through which a person can acquire new habits and let go of the “chronically nice” persona that hinders their growth. It is an easy read and offers practical suggestions toward effective habit-changing behaviors, encouraging the reader to face their anxiety and attachment difficulties, making it easier to uncover a new sense of confidence and self. |
