Trap Tales: So umgehen Sie die 7 Fallen des Lebens
by David M. Covey Stephan M. Mardyks"Trap Tales" ist Ihr Leitfaden zur Vermeidung der 7 Hindernisse, die Menschen jeden Tag ablenken und aufhalten. Wir alle tappen in diese Fallen und merken es oft nicht, oder erst, wenn es zu spät ist. Wie bei Treibsand kann man leicht in Fallen geraten, aber schwer wieder herauskommen - umso mehr man es versucht, umso tiefer versinkt man darin. Aber was wäre, wenn wir diese Fallen umgehen könnten? Wenn wir sie schon aus der Ferne erkennen könnten und einen großen Bogen um sie machen würden? Im vorliegenden Buch trainieren Sie die Autoren David M. R. Covey und Stephan M. Mardyks in der Kunst der "Trapologie". Lernen Sie Alex und Victoria kennen, die in Fallen geraten sind, die Sie sicher wiedererkennen. In ihren Geschichten erfahren Sie mehr über die 7 meistverbreiteten Fallen im Leben und Beruf und wie sogar die intelligentesten und anscheinend gebildetsten Menschen in ihnen gefangen sein können - unfähig einen Weg herauszufinden. Fallen können sich meisterhaft tarnen, aber es gibt Anzeichen, die sie immer verraten. Man muss sie nur erkennen. Wenn Sie feststellen, dass Sie gerade in eine Falle getappt sind, betrachten Sie dieses Buch als Rettungsleine - die Lektionen in diesem Buch lehren Sie, den Fallen zu entkommen und ihnen in Zukunft auszuweichen. Dazu liefert "Trap Tales" im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Büchern unkonventionelle Strategien und Weisheiten, zum Beispiel: - Lernen Sie die 7 größten Falle im Privatleben und im Beruf kennen, die Menschen unbemerkt erwischen können. - Identifizieren Sie die Fallen, die Sie ganz konkret jetzt, in diesem Moment aufhalten. - Entdecken Sie Ihren Ausweg und ziehen Sie sich aus dem Treibsand. - Werden Sie zum "Trapologen" und vermeiden Sie Fallen zukünftig völlig. Die Kernbotschaft von "Trap Tales" ist Hoffnung - der Glaube, dass jeder jederzeit die Laufbahn und Entwicklung seines eigenen Lebens beeinflussen kann. Bewahren Sie sich davor, dass Fallen Ihnen Zeit, Geld, Energie und Glück stehlen. "Trap Tales" bietet ein Survival-Training der besonderen Art, das Ihnen erlaubt, Ihre eigene Erfolgsgeschichte zu schreiben.
