SELF-WILL
The Strong Strategy Against Burnout and Depression — For a Self-Determined Life

You fulfill other people's wishes without wanting to? You're silent although you disagree? You ignore your needs to avoid disappointing others? We often feel resistance without showing it and say yes when we want to say no.

The price for this behaviour is high: Exhaustion, a feeling of futility, depression. If we deny ourselves, we risk damaging our emotional and physical health. Ursula Nuber, editor-in-chief of the German edition of Psychology Today (Psychologie Heute) and best-selling author, uncovers the roots of this unwholesome containment and shows how to avoid it: With our partners, with our children, at work. Knowing how to resist is essential for our emotional stability and resilience. Self-willed people know how to deal with stress and how to be themselves. Self-will is a powerful protective tool against the many challenges and stresses of daily life — for a happy and self-determined life.

WHO AM I WITHOUT YOU?
Why Women Become Depressed - And How They Can Find Themselves

More than twice as many women suffer from depression as men - about five million in Germany. The reason is that women need relationships more than men. Their wellbeing is in part defined by their relationships, and this feeling of dependence can lead to depression. Ursula Nuber shows why even strong and successful women are depressed - and how they can find themselves again. This book is for every woman who has ever asked herself: »Am I sick, or is this still normal?« And it's a book for every man who wants to better understand his wife.

LEAVE CHILDHOOD BEHIND
Learn To Live Your Own Life

In many case studies Ursula Nuber shows that our biography is not defined by fate, and how a look at our past can give us new hope. This book helps us to discover unknown qualities in ourselves, and to take life into our own hands.

LET ME KEEP MY SECRETS
Why It Is Good Not To Share Everything

Secrets don't have a good reputation, but in fact they are an important step in a child's development as it learns to keep things from its parents, just as every adult has the right to privacy, which even the people closest to us must respect. There must be things that are reserved to us alone - this provocative idea demands a high sense of responsibility from readers.
