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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePointing to a more fulfilling sense of self-empowerment than is being touted in pop-psychology manuals of our time, \u003ci\u003eFeeling Strong\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042125398256,"sku":"9780060555443","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780060555443_p0.jpg?v=1763618677","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780060555443-1","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
