Hazel Edwards

    Autorka Hazel je známa svojou detskou knihou o hrochovi, ktorá inšpirovala úspešný muzikál. Jej tvorba je rozmanitá, zahŕňa detektívky pre dospelých s originálnymi protagonistami, YA romány inšpirované osobnými zážitkami a pútavé memoáre. Skúsenosť z expedície do Antarktídy ju podnietila k tvorbe ekologických trilerov a obrázkových kníh. Prostredníctvom workshopov o písaní rodinnej histórie a mentorovaní Hazel pomáha iným rozvíjať ich vlastné tvorivé hlasy a odhaľovať príbehy ich predkov.

      Now available in Polish, Korean, and Russian, this indispensable guide helps readers understand and navigate the complexities of interacting with difficult personalities. We all encounter individuals who frustrate or hurt us, such as workplace bullies or those with anxious tendencies. Authors Dr. Helen McGrath, a clinical psychologist, and Hazel Edwards, a professional writer, provide a practical approach to managing these challenging behaviors, both in others and ourselves. Using the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) as a foundation, the book outlines over a dozen personality traits and types, detailing their characteristics and motivations. It offers effective strategies for addressing difficult behavior, including anger and conflict management, optimism and assertion training, rational and empathic thinking, and self-reflection. Additionally, readers will find valuable insights on making tough decisions and maintaining healthy romantic relationships. This guide is perfect for anyone who has wished for a handbook to better understand the personality differences that often hinder cooperation at work and harmony at home.

      "Stickybeak is an unforgettable school pet. He gets up to all sorts of mischief. Others think he's an ugly, noisy duckling. He thinks he's a person. We love him, but... when it was my turn to take him home, it was disaster plus!"--Back cover.
