• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

All of us face challenges in our daily lives but have you ever noticed how some people seem able to cope with these relatively easily, no matter what the challenge, while others seem to struggle?

Most of us just accept this as just the way things are without ever really investigating or challenging it. But if you could find a book that not only made you think about how you and others are managing life's challenges, but also helped you understand yourself far better, would you read it?

Behind The Mask draws on a wide range of knowledge and experience, including scientific studies and deep insight gained from personal experience delivering counselling services and working in the building industry, as well as his own life experiences, the author offer us an easy-to-read, entertaining and optimistic look at who we and others really are, behind the mask.

It gives you the tools to encourage you to take a closer look at yourself and others and provides a road-map you can use to take advantage of the abundance of opportunities that are available to you to lead a more satisfying life. For example, have you ever wondered why some adults seem to remain immature, never taking responsibility for themselves? By exploring concepts such as the adult-child, the adapted-child and the authentic-child Behind The Mask provides us with clarity to help us understand ourselves and others in a way that is easy to digest and apply.

You will find this knowledge useful when relating to others in your life and, most likely, you will not only be more in touch with what drives your own behaviour, but by having a better understanding of yourself, be able to change those things that are holding you back from achieving your full potential.

This book seeks to help you gain a better sense of self-awareness and encourages you to personal growth. But it isn't just about "self". The approach the author has taken anchors self in the society we live in and it is therefore as much about person-environment fit. This makes the book far more practical than most books on personal development. Going beyond what is traditionally considered as a study on behaviour by exploring what lies behind the intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual self.

Behind The Mask will change your way of thinking and may lead you to a more fulfilling life.

Autorenporträt

Bill Whitting has worked tirelessly for 15 years as an advocate for men and support for farmers struggling with depression and loneliness. A sought-after presenter and speaker at national conferences and men's gatherings, Bill is known for his compassion, his insight and for 'walking the talk'. A constant search for personal betterment and growth has seen Bill opt for the road less travelled throughout his extraordinary life.As a longstanding member of the Master Builders Association, Bill worked extensively throughout the industry for 30 years before leaving to pursue qualifications with The Counsellors and Psychotherapists Association of NSW - a quest in part for answers to his personal life struggles. He also joined Toastmasters International to gain a forum to speak, be heard and be evaluated, later becoming president of the organisation. This role was followed by Bill gaining the position as Project Coordinator for OM:NI (Older Men : New Ideas), working as the key facilitator for men's support groups around the country and later founding CHAFF (Crisis Help Assisting Forgotten Farmers) a mobile men's mental health service. An impressive list of professional experience, qualifications and achievements in both the building and psychotherapy professions masks underlying turmoil where childhood and adolescent feelings of inadequacy and not being heard simmer below the surface and frequently threaten to spill over into Bill's adult life. For Bill, the struggle is real and the empathy for others is genuine.
