  10 Ways to Snatch Victory from the Jaws of Defeat

  

  Success is within reach just when you want to give up

  “Tremor of truth” is phrase used in physical fitness circles when you push yourself to the max. Your brain says you can’t do it. But just as grass grows through concrete, you get a second wind, persevere, and discover mental and physical reserves you didn’t know you had. And just before giving up, you push through the challenge.

  The key to success—even more important than skill—is resilience, dogged determination in the face of defeat. Tremor of truth builds muscles on the physical plane and a growth mindset on the psychological plane.

  A Guidebook for Workaholics, Their Partners and Children, and the Clinicians Who Treat Them

  Thousands have benefited from best-selling author and widely respected family therapist Bryan Robinson’s groundbreaking book. This innovative volume profiles the myths behind this greatly misunderstood disorder and the inner psychological battle that work addicts wage against themselves.

  Intended for anyone touched by what Robinson calls “the best dressed problem of the twenty first century,” the author also provides an inside look into the impact on those who live and work with them—partners, spouses, children, and colleagues—as well as the appropriate techniques for clinicians who treat them.

  In this new and updated edition, Robinson portrays the many different kinds of workaholism, drawing on hundreds of case reports from his own original research and years of clinical practice. He provides a step-by-step guide to help readers spot workaholism, understand it, and recover, and presents strategies for people in the workplace on how to distinguish between work efficiency and workaholism.

  Praise for Chained to the Desk:

  “Robinson approaches workaholism with pragmatic and effective strategies designed to overcome the resistance with which most workaholics greet attempts to change them. This is the first book I know of to look closely at the effect of workaholism on family members and children, the people who often feel most strongly its effects.”

  John Bradshaw, author of Homecoming: Reclaiming and Championing Your Inner Child

  “This useful, well-turned guide will serve therapists and the many people affected by the disease equally well.”
