Description

A practical guide by the well-known psychiatrist and author of the bestsellers “I Hear You Through” and “How to Talk to Assholes” on how to deal with 40 forms of self-destructive behavior—from procrastination to outbursts of anger.

Mарк Goulston is a psychiatrist working at the intersection of psychology and business. At the beginning of his professional career, he helped people with suicidal and aggressive tendencies, and this experience formed the basis of the negotiator training program for police and the FBI. Over time, he honed his skills in influencing and persuading all kinds of people, and his approaches became the foundation of the book “I Hear You Through.”

Over the past 25 years, Dr. Goulston has consulted organizations of different sizes and fields, training employees to listen, persuade, and overcome “bunker” thinking. His clients include Goldman Sachs, IBM, Federal Express, Xerox, Deutsche Bank, Bloomberg, Kodak, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, the Los Angeles Police Department, and the FBI. For more than a quarter of a century he also taught at a neuropsychiatric institute at the University of California, Los Angeles, and was listed among the best psychiatrists in the United States in 2004, 2005, and 2009.

Goulston publishes in the Harvard Business Review and regularly serves as an expert for The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Newsweek, Time, Reuters, NPR, CNN, Fox News, and has appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s show and the Today program.

Philip Goldberg is the author of the book “Don’t Wreck Your Life,” a novelist and screenwriter, who, together with coauthors, has written and prepared around twenty books.
