{"product_id":"2940148426714","title":"Giving Away Success:Why Women Get Stuck And What To Do About it","description":"An aspiring actress can't get herself to auditions;  a job seeker can't get  herself to send out her resume; a business consultant is reluctant to talk money with her clients. All these women have the same problem:  \" I want to, but I can't get myself to...\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn GIVING AWAY SUCCESS,  Dr. Schenkel shows how these patterns fit into the broader context of the psychology of women.   Intelligent, talented women  who  feel they are unable to move forward - who get \"stuck\" -  despite a conscious desire to succeed. She demystifies  the psychological issues  that cause  many women  to feel blocked  from achievement by internal obstacles  they cannot understand,much less articulate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Schenkel explains why such women  lack confidence in their abilities,  how they  have learned helplessness,  why they fear failure, and why they lack self-assertion.  And, although these problems aren't unique to women - men have them too -  Dr. Schenkel also explains  the profound difference  in the manifestation of  these issues between the sexes.  Unlike men's socialization that encourages achievement,  women's socialization gives very mixed messages  that inhibit action. Growing up female creates, for many women,  internal obstacles to achievement. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGIIVNG AWAY SUCCESS  was first published in print editions McGraw-Hill,1984; revised edition, Random House, 1991; paperback, HarperCollins, 1992). The book was a selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club,  the Quality Paperback Book Club, the Psychotherapy Book Club, and Buchclub Ex Libris of Zurich.  It was translated into German, Chinese, and Portuguese. GIVING WAY SUCCESS  went out of print in the beginning of 1995.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough much has changed since then,  consistent feedback  indicates that the book is still relevant and helpful.  Recently, for example, a Spanish woman wrote, \"Your book is so inspiring to me  that I translated it for my sister and other friends.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this rapidly changing and demanding world, it's more important than ever that women are able to overcome internal obstacles and take action.  The second half of  the book teaches how to do this.\u003cbr\u003eIt describes  practical strategies and techniques for  getting \"unstuck,\"  derived from  Dr. Schenkel's   counseling practice and a field of psychology called  behavioral self-management.   These simple practices,  carefully detailed and easy to follow,   will help women manage their behavior  more effectively and  help them achieve - rather than give away - success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Susan Schenkel, Ph.D.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165319610608,"sku":"2940148426714","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148426714_p0.jpg?v=1763703310","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148426714","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
