BRADSHAW ON: THE FAMILY: A New Way Of Creating Solid Self-Esteem – Book


Author: John Bradshaw

In BRADSHAW ON: THE FAMILY - A New Way to Create Solid Self Esteem, John Bradshaw helps us to understand the root cause of our emotional impairments and family-reinforced behavior traps & shows us how to make conscious choices to transform our adult life.

In this updated book, BRADSHAW ON: THE FAMILY~ A New Way To Create Solid Self Esteem, John Bradshaw explores ways to escape the tyranny of family reinforced behavior traps and shows you how to make conscious choices that will transform your life. Based on the public television series of the same name, BRADSHAW ON: THE FAMILY~ A New Way to Create Solid Self Esteem, is John Bradshaw’s seminal work on the dynamics of families and family-systems and has sold millions of copies since its original publication.

Within its pages, you will discover the cause of emotionally impaired families. You will learn how unhealthy rules of behavior are passed down from parents to children, and the destructive effect this process has on our society. Using the latest family research and recovery material in BRADSHAW ON: THE FAMILY~ A New Way to Create Solid Self Esteem, John Bradshaw also explores the individual in both a family and societal setting. He shows you ways to escape the tyranny of family-reinforced behavior traps--from addiction and co-dependency to loss of will and denial--and demonstrates how to make conscious choices that will transform your life and the lives of your loved ones. He helps you heal yourself and then, using that you have learned helps you heal your family.

Finally, Bradshaw extends this idea to our society: by returning yourself and your family to emotional health, you can heal the world in which you live. He helps you re-envision societal conflicts from the perspective of a global family, and shares with you the power of deep democracy: how the choices you make every day can affect--and improve--your world.
