*BREAKTHROUGH by David C. M. Carter
Assertiveness, Motivation & Self-Esteem | 336pp | Piatkus | November 2012
Be the best version of yourself you can be
In 1954, Roger Bannister decided he would break the four-minute-mile record. Not only did he do this, but
within a year, his achievement empowered 37 others to do the same. He accomplished his own
'breakthrough' and inspired others to push themselves beyond what they thought they could achieve. For the
first time, the world's leading mentor David C. M. Carter shares his most effective 'breakthrough' secrets in this
practical guide to becoming the best you can be. Previously only accessible to his handful of exclusive
international clients, these strategies are the keys to a more successful and happier you. By following them,
you will learn how to identify and clarify your goals - and then achieve them in every area of your life. With
simple, easy-to-action 'breakthroughs' outlined in each chapter, complete with 'how-to' tools, you'll have no
excuse to live anything less than the life you were destined to live. David C M Carter is widely regarded as
one of the world's leading mentors. He has an exclusive list of just 10 clients a year, ranging from CEO's of
major companies, to entrepreneurs, celebrities and philanthropists.
THE CURSE OF LOVELY by Jacqui Marson
Motivation & Self Esteem | 288pp | Piatkus | March 2013 | Korea: EntersKorea | Japan : -Owls
How to break free from others' expectations and become your true self. A fresh twist on assertiveness.
Many people's lives, relationships, careers and wellbeing are blighted by the belief that to be liked, loved and
accepted they have to limit themselves to the behaviours they believe are approved of by others. This might
mean some or all of the following: always being polite, nice, helpful, charming, fun, making people feel good
about themselves, not letting people down, never saying 'no', avoiding conflict and putting others' needs
before their own. Jacqui Marson in her 15 years of clinical experience as a psychologist has coined the
phrase 'the curse of lovely' to describe this growing trend. Many people would like to be known as lovely, but
for a growing number of people it can feel like a curse. They feel trapped, suffocated and oppressed by the
weight of others' expectations and feel that change is not an option. This highly practical and motivational
book will show readers how to break the cycle or curse of lovely to live a more complete, fulfilling life. Jacqui
Marson is a chartered counselling psychologist with a private practice in Covent Garden, London. She is the
inhouse psychologist for Channel Five News and has a monthly column, Fast Therapy, in Psychologies
magazine.
