No Bad PartsHealing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems ModelRichard C. Schwartz

Have you ever felt like a part of you is telling you one thing, while another part is saying the opposite? According to psychiatrist Richard Schwartz, these conflicting internal voices are not only normal, but key to better understanding who we are.

Schwartz is the creator of Internal Family Systems (IFS)—a therapeutic practice grounded in the idea that each of us is made up of a complex network of different "parts," each with different needs, emotions, and desires. In No Bad Parts, Schwartz provides a broad overview of IFS, outlining the theory behind its basic principles and how it can help people to live a more fulfilling life.

In this guide, we’ll supplement Schwartz’s explanation with the work of other IFS therapists while also highlighting criticisms of the model. We’ll put Schwartz’s work in historical context, showing how his ideas build on fundamental principles of psychology introduced by Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung.

  Everything Is F*cked A Book About Hope Mark Manson Although our living conditions are generally better than they’ve ever been, statistics show that people are getting steadily unhappier. According to self-help author Mark Manson, this is due to an epidemic of  hopelessness : People no longer feel like they can help create a better future. The solution to this problem is complicated—Manson argues that the hope that makes us feel fulfilled also leads us to harm ourselves and others. Thus, we must learn to live a fulfilling life  without  hope for a better future. In this guide, we’ll describe how both hopelessness and hope itself have caused many of the world’s worst problems, and we’ll explain how you can progress toward a fulfilling life without hope. In our commentary, we’ll provide supplementary information from relevant books that preceded  Everything Is F*cked , including  Man’s Search for Meaning  and  Learned Optimism . We’ll also provide ...
