Since early childhood, Edgar had been conditioned to be non-confrontational and completely subservient by his older sister, Cynthia. Though he hasn`t seen his sister in years, her lessons have remained. Well into his adult years, his fainthearted personality has been a constant bane to his health, his marriage, and his livelihood; leading to the eventual destruction of all three. Now, an apathetic Edgar Humbert awaits his execution in a prison cell; but when the day of his scheduled execution finally arrives, Edgar`s emotions awaken, forcing him to relive the terrible series of events that led the mild-mannered man to death row in the first place. His only relief is that, in a few hours, his suffering would end. However, a storm causes an unexpected delay, leaving Edgar to wallow in his past. Edgar, growing determined for what feels like the first time in his life, decides to face those memories, utilizing the only weapons available to him: pen and paper. Edgar spends his remaining days struggling to write the story of his more recent history, involving his sister`s return to his life as she attempts to atone for her past while struggling with drug addiction as a single mother. Despite his determination to face his past, Edgar is assaulted by deeper and more distant memories in his sleep, those of his childhood and his failed marriage.
Описание: Too many of us miss out on opportunities in life because we lack self-confidence. Whether it's public speaking, taking on a leadership role, or asking someone for a date, there are situations in which we just don't feel equipped to handle the challenges we face. Russ Harris offers a surprising solution to low self-confidence, shyness, and insecurity: Rather than trying to "get over" our fears, he says, the secret is to form a new and wiser relationship with them. Paradoxically, it's only when we stop struggling against our fearfulness that we begin to find lasting freedom from it. Drawing on the techniques of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a cutting-edge form of cognitive-behavioral therapy, The Confidence Gap explains how to: - Free yourself from common misconceptions about what confidence is and how to build it - Transform your relationship with fear and anxiety - Clarify your core values and use them as your inspiration and motivation - Use mindfulness to effectively handle negative thoughts and feelings.
