Thank you again for all the incredibly insightful info." Duped "I have no words but thank you so very much!"

Eric "I just want you to know what a valuable service you've provided by creating this site. I stumbled upon it the other day while doing some research on psychopathy in an attempt to understand how the individual I was involved with could do all the things he did. It was such a relief to realize, after reading several of your posts, that this monster who had me believing he was one in a million is actually just one OF a million... psychopaths. He's no more than a common, predictable set of symptoms and patterns. He fits the mold perfectly. I understand better than ever now that none of this was my fault; that he targeted me; and that the mental anguish he put me through was something I could not have resisted if I tried... because I could never be someone who thinks the way he does. Your information helped me realize that fully and take that last step of discarding any last little attempt to "reconcile" the unthinkable." L.B. "Thank you for a brilliant and concise definition of a psychopath. This information is the best I have seen on this topic...I now know I am not crazy. Thank you.
Download or read book Forged in Bravery written by John Robert Hatfield and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's time to call out the brave within you and unleash your masculine power! When many thousands of years of strictly gendered cultural expectations meet the pressures of the modern age, what does it mean to be a man? What does true, healthy masculinity look like for both you and the world around you, and how can you achieve it? In Forged in Bravery, author and leadership psychologist John Robert Hatfield reflects on his experience from thirty years of counseling men, current research, and his own lifelong relationship with his masculinity to navigate through the maze of modern masculine confusion. From exploring strategies for healthily managing anger to investigating the overlooked importance of cultivating male friendships, Hatfield analyzes the masks men wear that perpetuate a false facade of masculinity to confront the many harmful cultural narratives that have defined our expectations of what a man should be. Instead, this book will teach you how to unashamedly call out and awaken the brave within you, confront the fears that dominate you, and embrace the braveass virtues that forge true masculinity. Hatfield establishes a new standard for measuring when men are truly at their best that revolves on self-leadership, resilience, and vulnerability. Forged in Bravery is a call to action for men to confront their fears and examine their attitudes on masculinity so they can start living an authentic and empowered life.

Book excerpt: At the heart of contemporary corporate leadership lies a crisis of confidence. Since the financial crash of 2008, distrust of employers among the workforce has dramatically increased due to a lack of authentic leadership. But how can leaders become and remain authentic? Yours Truly draws on a host of inspirational examples from executives of multinational corporations to political leaders and sports leaders, as well as more than two decades of research, in order to examine and explain the missing link in research into authentic leadership: how leaders strive for success, excellence and constant renewal, whilst remaining true to themselves. Margarita Mayo introduces the three characteristics – Heart, Habits and Harmony – that differentiate authentic from non-authentic leaders. Presented within a practical framework, the book provides a measurable guide to developing your own authentic power: · Contagious passion that wins the hearts of others; · Setting new habits of learning to empower others; · And Enhancing harmony by building authentic contexts. Ideal for managers, senior executives and aspiring leaders, Yours Truly captures the value of authentic leadership in transforming organizations. The book strips away the seemingly magical, innate charismatic qualities of leaders in order to showcase a less mysterious and more practical process that can be followed by anyone.
