Debbie Ford, an internationally recognized expert in the field of personal transformation, created this book, Why Good People Do Bad Things: How to Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy, which exposes the pervasive and often hidden impulses that influence our everyday decisions. Ford begins with an examination of what she calls the Beach-Ball Effect, the way in which suppressed emotions eventually rise to the surface, revealing the origins of self-destructive behavior.
Sometimes, we're hearing stories like Olympic sports hero who falls from grace after being accused of injecting steroids; the TV evangelist who gets arrested for soliciting prostitutes; the schoolteacher who carries on an affair with one of her students; or the baseball star who gambles on his own games. These are the public demonstrations of good people who have gone astray, and they have become our national obsession.
Despite good intentions, �good people� do very bad things often without understanding why. The Why Good People Do Bad Things: How to Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy identifies the forces that cause people to commit acts of self-sabotage and self-destruction, in a guide that counsels readers on how to make choices in accordance with true goals and values. |
