Getting Unstuck: How Dead Ends Become New Paths 揭开

"Whether you're stuck in a job or career, stuck in a relationship, or stuck in a way of living your life, Tim Butler's book will be a great help to you. Butler has taken the best of psychology, philosophy, and what he's learned in a lifetime of work as a psychologist; these are the ingredients. He then integrates all the pieces and turns them into accessible, practical ways to move on by moving into and through whatever has you stuck. It's the only way to achieve real growth"
"I began reading Getting Unstuck with my HBS Admissions Director hat firmly in place thinking of the many people I meet each year who seem to have unlimited opportunities but little practice in making authentic choices. I was feeling quite the detached professional until I encountered one of the profiles and recognized myself, of all people. Who knew.a I discovered that'stuck' doesn't mean paralyzed and'unstuck' is not limited to dramatic gestures. This is a very hopeful book, which I will keep prominently displayed on my bookshelf to provoke the curiosity of aspiring MBAs:'

From Publishers Weekly Butler, a psychotherapist and director of Career Development at Harvard Business School, says it's the ruts and dead ends in life that can provide motivation for the greatest change-provided you're willing to dig deep and confront unresolved issues from the past. Though it isn't an easy process, this self-help proves uncommonly fresh and thought-provoking. Butler's approach is built around a practical six-step process that he's used with thousands of corporate executives and students, who provide anecdotes and experiences. The book is divided into three sections: in the first, readers learn how to identify a psychological impasse and open themselves to the possibilities it hides; part two focuses on unearthing passions and interests that have been forgotten or buried; and part three is about "Moving from Impasse to Action," achieving the ultimate goal of change through a heightened awareness of "the energies and possibilities that are emerging, regardless of their threat to habit, comfort and stereotyped expectations." In the end, the real challenge may be in winnowing a single path from the wealth of options Butler uncovers. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
