They F*** You Up: How to Survive Family Life
Autor Oliver Jamesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 dec 2005
In
this
groundbreaking
book,
clinical
psychologist
Oliver
James
shows
that
it
is
the
way
we
were
cared
for
in
the
first
six
years
of
life
that
has
a
crucial
effect
on
who
we
are
and
how
we
behave.
Nurture,
in
effect,
shapes
our
very
nature.
In
a
remarkable
analysis
of
science
and
popular
culture,
James
combines
the
latest
research
with
revealing
case
studies,
interviews,
and
biographies
with
the
likes
of
Michael
Jackson,
Mia
Farrow,
and
Prince
Charles
to
prove
his
point.
In
addition
to
presenting
his
findings,
James
explains
how
they
can
be
a
source
of
liberation
in
our
lives.
Through
the
use
of
provocative
questions
and
insightful
examples,
he
helps
readers
better
understand
the
way
their
childhood
past
is
affecting
their
present
and
how
to
"be
your
own
scriptwriter."
He
also
argues
that
his
findings
could
have
huge
implications
for
society
as
a
whole.
A
top-seller
and
recipient
of
significant
attention
in
the
U.K.,
They
F***
You
Up
is
an
opinionated,
entertaining
read
which
causes
us
to
ponder
the
origins
of
our
present
behavior.

Recenzii
'A classic. An absolute, slam-dunk tour-de-force guaranteed to make you think more deeply than ever about what made you who you are. Oliver James gets us to prise open all the cobwebbed cupboards of our lives and teaches us how to dust down and tidy up the mess we find inside ... It may be the most frightening book since The Shining, but it's also the most helpful since the Highway Code'
'With fascinating case studies from Prince Charles to Jeffrey Archer, this accessible book explains how our childhood experiences dramatically shape our lives'
'He presents some compelling evidence for his case in this popular examination of recent research into how we develop ... An interesting read'
'Taking Larkin's words as a starting point, psychologist Oliver James looks at what makes us what we are and argues forcibly in favour of nurture, claiming that how we are cared for during early childhood is the fundamental factor'

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Do your relationships tend to follow the same destructive pattern? Do you feel trapped by your family's expectations of you? Does your life seem overwhelmingly governed by jealousy or competitiveness or lack of confidence? In this ground-breaking book, clinical psychologist Oliver James shows that it is the way we were cared for in the first six years of life that has a crucial effect on who we are and how we behave. Nurture, in effect, shapes our very nature. James combines the latest scientific research with fascinating interviews to show that understanding your past is the first step to controlling your present.
