All or Nothing: Bringing balance to the achievement-oriented personality

USD $39.99

High achievers often have ‘all-or-nothing’ personality styles, approaching life with dedication, determination and drive to succeed. However, sometimes that success comes at too great a cost. The drive to focus on one tasks or area of life to the exclusion of everything else has undeniable benefits, but can lead to mental and physical fatigue, health problems and even relationship issues.

In this insightful, empowering book, psychologist Mike McKinney draws on his decades of experience to explore how balance can be brought to the all-or-nothing personality, whilst retaining its best qualities, to promote a more meaningful and rewarding life.

How you can help when someone you love is depressed

‘Highly recommended – to comprehend what a depressed relative may be experiencing and the type of help they require.’  Graham D. Burrows, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Melbourne.

Depression is a common disorder, but it is surrounded by ignorance, fear and prejudice.

She defines depression and explains how to recognise it, outlines the role of the psychiatrist, describes the various medications and therapies available, discusses the place of natural therapies, offers advice to the carer, and throughout the book includes the experiences of many families and the lessons they have to offer.
