Every day, we express affection, love, and care for others. We also compare ourselves to others and strive for respect, influence, and power. Elaine N. Aron, the bestselling author of The Highly Sensitive Person, shows that true self-worth results from a healthy balance of these two, love and power. When we focus too much on power and not enough on love, we can feel ashamed, defeated, depressed. Our undervalued self takes over.
In The undervalued Self, Dr. Aron explains how to incorporate love into situations that seem to demand power, and deal with power struggles that mask themselves as issues of love. Through illuminating stories from her practice, self-tests, and practical exercises, you will learn how ranking, linking, and the undervalued self operate in your life. From the bedroom to the boardroom, Dr. Aron’s strategies will help you to:
- Use love and power to escape feelings of shame, defeat, and depression.
- Dissolve relationship hostility.
- Work not only with the conscious mind but with the deep unconscious, where most undervaluing happens.
- Quiet the inner voice that prevents you from being your best self at home and at work.
Dr. Aron’s clear, empathetic message combines with her extraordinary scientific and human insight to create a simple and effective guide to balancing love and power, developing healthy, fulfilling relationships, and finding true self-worth.
