About this ebook
It can be hard for busy professionals to find the time to read the latest books. Stay up to date in a fraction of the time with this concise guide.
Being Genuine: Stop Being Nice, Start Being Real by Thomas d’Ansembourg provides a comprehensive overview of the ways we can improve our mental health by identifying and accepting our personal needs and communicating honestly about them. D’Ansembourg believes that the key to inner peace lies in unlearning the unhealthy habits we are taught during childhood, such as repressing our emotions and conforming to other people’s expectations. His work draws heavily on his background as a volunteer for the charity Flics et Voyous and his training in nonviolent communication, the communication method developed by Marshall Rosenberg in the 1960s. The book has been very positively received both in d’Ansembourg’s native Belgium and abroad, and has been reprinted several times.
This book review and analysis is perfect for:
• Anyone who wants to use genuine communication as a means of self-improvement
• Anyone interested in the principles of nonviolent communication
• Students of, or anyone interested in, modern psychology
