Laurence Alison is one of my academic heroes. He does what every writer longs to do. He makes the difficult clear - without losing his rigour.' Malcolm Gladwell'They are quietly revolutionising the study and practice of interrogation... Their findings are changing the way law enforcement and security agencies approach the delicate and vital task of gathering human intelligence.' GuardianGet what you want from even the most difficult charactersAll of us have to deal with difficult people. Whether we're asking our neighbour to move a fence or our boss for a pay rise, we can struggle to avoid arguments and get what we want.Laurence and Emily Alison are world leaders in forensic psychology, and they specialise in the most difficult interactions imaginable: criminal interrogations. They advise and train the police, security agencies, the FBI and the CIA on how to deal with extremely dangerous suspects when the stakes are high. After 30 years' work - and unprecedented access to 2,000 hours of terrorist interrogations - they have developed a ground-breaking model of interpersonal communication. This deceptively simple approach to handling any encounter works as well for teenagers as it does for terrorists. Now it's time to share it with the world.Rapport reveals that every interaction follows four styles: Control (the lion), Capitulate (the mouse), Confront (the Tyrannosaur) and Co-operate (the monkey). As soon as you understand these styles and your own goals you can shape any conversation at will. And you'll be closer to the real secret: how to create instant rapport.

Step-by-step exercises to guide yourself through the IFS process and create inner harmony and peaceTransform the way you relate to yourself and your mental health struggles with this clear and structured guide to Internal Family Systems (IFS), an evidence-based approach to parts work therapy. The IFS model views every person as having an “internal family” of parts or sub-personalities, each with their own set of thoughts, feelings, and needs. These parts hold pain such as trauma and can create difficulties like anxiety or addictions, but when understood and accepted, they can release this pain and heal. Developed by a veteran IFS clinician who has lived, practiced, and trained others on the IFS model for over 25 years, The Self-Led Internal Family Systems Workbook can help you connect to your true, authentic Self—which is always inside of you, ready to lead—so you can meet your internal family of parts, respond compassionately when they act out, and send them healing energy when they need it. Key features of this workbook:    Accessible Self-Paced Program. Move through the IFS process at your own speed and comfort level using IFS skills that have been adapted for beginners. Clear and Methodical Approach. Bring clarity and structure to your internal world by navigating it with step-by-step skills, exercises, and worksheets. Strategies for Common IFS Challenges. Learn to work with parts that keep you stuck in problematic cycles and avoid triggering deeply wounded parts. Transcripts of Self-Led IFS Sessions. See how an IFS clinician works with her own parts to address challenges like perfectionism, impulse control, and more.

"If Malcolm Gladwell and Carl Jung had a baby, it would be Dain Dunston. This book took me on a profound journey of self-discovery and personal insight."—Vince Poscente, New York Times bestselling author of The EarthquakeLeaders often know what they need to do, but don't have a clue who they need to be.Being Essential presents the seven questions that will help any leader discover an authentic path to the true self and master a virtuous cycle of self-awareness that fosters purpose, value, and joy at work and in life.Without a true essence of self, their leadership can feel void of purpose and confidence, affecting both teams and stakeholders. But when leaders discover their essential selves—who they are at their cores and why they show up—it enables them to reach a state of "radical self-awareness," a game-changing skill that unlocks a more effective, commanding, agile approach to leadership.For more than thirty years Dain Dunston has been coaching top executives to find the essence of their personal and professional journeys. Now readers can learn the holistic method he uses to calibrate leaders' minds for radical self-awareness and help them achieve more satisfying professional experiences.
