Die Kraft der Ermutigung

Why do some people give up in difficult life situations while others continue to fight or even surpass themselves? Is it due to how we were encouraged or perhaps discouraged during our childhood and youth? Psychologist Jürg Frick demonstrates how these experiences can positively or negatively influence our fundamental attitudes when faced with significant challenges, and how we can intentionally harness the power of encouragement to make life more successful. The book is complemented by four useful questionnaires for self- and external encouragement. The third edition has been updated and expanded, including a distinction between praise and encouragement, insights into opportunities, pitfalls, and limitations in encouraging within the educational field, as well as findings from empathy and cooperation research.
