Feeling Strong

<p>In <em>Feeling Strong</em> noted psychoanalyst Ethel S. Person redefines the notion of power. The stigma of evil we associate with the subject of power comes from this one conception of power -- the drive for dominance over other people or in its most extreme form an overriding and often ruthless lust for total command. But this is far too limited a definition.</p><p>Pointing to a more fulfilling sense of self-empowerment than is being touted in pop-psychology manuals of our time <em>Feeling Strong</em> shows us that power is really our ability to produce an effect to make something we want to happen actually take place. Power is a desire and a drive and it is central in our lives dictating much of our behavior and consuming much of our interior lives.</p><p>Drawing from her expertise honed in clinical practice as well as from examples in literature and true-life vignettes Person shows how you can achieve authentic power to find something that matters; to feel inner certainty; to find a personality of your own and effectively plot your life story.</p>
