Imagine the difference in your life if you had evidence-based tools to enhance personal and interpersonal well-being and life satisfaction. Now an innovative self-help guide is available to provide you with those research-based tools. With inspirational stories, practical applications, illustrative cartoons, and instructive discussion questions, this easy-to-read text will lead you to discover and fine-tune self-motivating and interpersonal skills to benefit both your life and that of your family, friends, and acquaintances. We are Connected Electronically but Can Still Feel Alone Through social media, email, Skype, instant messaging, and other electronic forums people are connected to more people these days than ever before. Yet increasing numbers of people feel alone. Backstabbing, demeaning, and bullying others have become increasingly commonplace, leading to more interpersonal conflict than cooperation. Indeed, the suicide rate among young people has skyrocketed since the advent of all those superficial communication devices. People need to learn how to connect with others in more meaningful and collaborative ways, both in person and online. Families have Less Influence Before the 21st century, children learned a lot about life from family discussions. In those good-old days family members usually had dinner together, and were not distracted by television and social-media devices. The only source of entertainment at mealtime was family conversation. What about today? Does the typical family today have fewer one-to-one conversations with their children than did earlier generations? Even when families eat together most of them are glued to their electronic devices. This decrease in interfamilial teaching/learning conversation can be profoundly damaging to individuals and their culture. Children once learned shared beliefs and values from family members. These days the power of those lessons has been diminished substantially by the variety of distractions and the speed of our lives that limit opportunities for one-on-one instructive communication between children and their families. Relationships at Work are More Superficial The same distractions that hinder our interpersonal learning at home occur in the workplace. People skim emails and rarely take the time to empathize with those with whom they share their workplace every workday. The result: Many people are not enjoying their work life as much as they could, and productivity is often less than optimal. What Can You Do to Reverse This Trend? Good news: A new resource is available to enhance your interpersonal relations at home, at work, at school, and throughout your community. This new book, Fifty Lessons to Enrich Your Life, is an effective LifeCOACH Guide. The author Dr. E. Scott Geller reveals secrets for beneficial self-awareness, interpersonal acumen, and continuous improvement. This self-help guide, as reflected by its subtitle, Proven Principles from Psychological Science is profound because it is not based on common sense or pop psychology. Discover the Secrets to Life-Changing Insights From teaching and researching the science of human experience for more than 50 years, the author of this LifeCOACH guide has identified 50 evidence-based life lessons capable of enriching the quality of human life when applied appropriately and routinely. Because each life lesson stands alone as a teachable moment, you can readily fit valuable learning into your busy schedule. No need to read many pages in one sitting. With two pages per life lesson, you can learn at your own self-pace. But beware: The engaging learning process for each life lesson will inspire you to progress to the next life lesson. It s a page turner!
