Sobre este título

Bloomsbury presents Am I Lying to Myself? by Jane Greer PhD, read by Emma Faye.

Learn to talk back to denial and start telling yourself the truth – about yourself, others, and the world around you.
Denial is everywhere, keeping us from seeing reality and causing unhappiness and frustration. It can make things disappear in the blink of an eye. It can also convince you that you are seeing what you want to see even when it isn’t there, leading you to believe in nonsense along the way. People employ denial because it makes their life easier in the moment. It even makes it appear to be better, the way you would like it to be, the way you wish it was, rather than what it actually is. Denial reassures you, tells you not to worry, it’s not that bad, it could be worse. But the truth is, it is a short-sighted solution, a quick fix, a temporary Band-Aid.
Am I Lying To Myself? helps listeners squelch the tendency to let their own and others’ denial rule their lives. This book takes listeners through a series of real-world scenarios in which people find themselves mired in denial. It will help you not only recognize denial’s sneaky voice, but you will come away from each chapter with a useful skill that will help you address the denial in your own life. After listening to this book, it will become second nature to talk back to denial with clarity and strength. This book will teach you how to do that. You will never lie to yourself again.

Resumo da Crítica

If you ever want a book that will make you say, Thank God I’m not a therapist, this is it. Jane Greer listens to people who make questionable decisions so you don’t have to. In Am I Lying to Myself? the marriage and family counselor suggests, convincingly, that when it comes to relationships, being in a state of denial is probably the No. 1 factor in keeping us in a rut. We need to face unpleasant and sometimes devastating truths to get on with our lives, and Greer breaks down the elements of denial into digestible components: wishing and hoping, missing the signs, believing what you’re told and turning a little into a lot. It’s extraordinary, really, the way denial can twist you in knots. Greer is terrific at telling stories about people in various denial-related quandaries – to the extent that she sparked my inner soap-opera fan – and now I’d like to know what happened to them all. But sometimes we do get to witness the breakthrough moments we hope for in our own lives, summed up perfectly by one patient who blessedly opted for divorce: “I can’t pretend to not know anymore what I now know.” Greer thinks that one deserves its own T-shirt. I’m with her. (Judith Newman)
Everyone needs to read this life-changing book! It’s a guarantee to help free you from denial and see the truth so that you can be your best self. (Vanessa Williams)
Everyone should read this book. Jane Greer persuasively details why it is time for us to stop avoiding our problems —-to finally FINALLY STOP living in denial. Dr. Greer’s insights let readers in on the secret of why she has helped so many people enrich their lives and find the joy of being in love. A must read to help your relationship and your life become what you always dreamed it could be. (Mika Brzezinski, Co-Host, MSNBC's Morning Joe)
OMG, I NEED this book! And so do you. And so does everybody else. Why? Because everybody knows what it’s like to feel stuck in a relationship, to keep repeating a pattern you know isn’t working, to be waiting and waiting for somebody who can’t commit—to be on the other side of the fence and listening to people who seem never to change. Dr. Jane Greer looks at the role denial plays in our behaviors—and shows you how to break free of the ones you don’t want. (And even if your life and relationships are perfect, because that happens so often, you’ll learn so much from this insightful psychological book (Jenna Blum, New York Times and international bestselling author, Those Who Save Us and Storm Chasers)
At its core, therapy is trying to dismantle the stories we make up about who we are so that we can live in the truth and have responsible expectations of ourselves and others. This is a handy, workable place to start. (E. A. Hanks)
