„E de o mie de ori mai bună ca Bărbaţii sunt de pe Marte, femeile sunt de pe Venus“, s-a spus despre această carte socotită „clasică“ – prima ediţie a apărut în 1988 –, ce a salvat, se pare, sute de mii de căsnicii din toată lumea.Autorii, care au revăzut ediţia de faţă, aducând-o la zi pentru secolul XXI, ne învaţă cum să ne mentinem cuplul, fie el marital sau nu, (până când moartea ne va despărţi), bucurându-ne din plin de relaţia cu partenerul şi de copiii noştri. Acest ţel simplu in aparenţă nu se obţine uşor. (La început iubirea e o binecuvântare, dacă nu un noroc. Apoi devine o realizare.) Iubirea, cred autorii acestei cărţi intitulate, cu un joc de cuvinte intraductibil în româneşte, The Making of Love, este de fapt o construcţie. Construcţia în doi a iubirii va fi mai puţin anevoioasă dacă ne vom lăsa ghidaţi de autorii acestui bestseller: un cuplu (căsătorit) de specialişti în terapia familiei şi în educaţia copilului, bine cunoscuţi atât în Australia natală, cât şi în multele ţări ale lumii în care au ţinut conferinţe adresate marelui public.

Oggigiorno sono sempre più le ragazze a essere motivate, sicure e dinamiche. I ragazzi, invece, spesso vanno alla deriva, a scuola sono indisciplinati, hanno difficoltà relazionali, sono a rischio di violenza, alcol e droga. Le differenze cominciano all’asilo, le bambine collaborano tranquille, mentre i bambini vanno in giro urlando, disturbano le compagne o litigano tra loro. Alle elementari il rendimento dei maschi è spesso trascurato e di livello inferiore. Alla fine delle medie la maggior parte di loro non legge più niente e si esprime a monosillabi. Maschi e femmine non sono uguali, anche se, per molto tempo, è prevalsa l’opinione contraria. Alla luce di ciò si è elaborata una vera e propria metodologia per sviluppare e valorizzare a fondo la «mascolinità», in ogni sua forma. In questo libro, Steve Biddulph ci offre le basi fondamentali per comprendere appieno i propri figli maschi e per renderli dei giovani felici e sicuri.Steve Biddulph è terapista familiare da vent’anni. Ha studiato e fatto pratica in Australia, negli Stati Uniti, in Nuova Zelanda e a Singapore. Dopo il successo ottenuto con i suoi libri si è dedicato maggiormente ai problemi legati all’educazione dei genitori nella crescita dei figli. Nelle edizioni TEA Pratica sono inoltre apparsi Il segreto dei bambini felici (presto in e-book), Crescere bambini piccoli e il recente Crescere figlie femmine.

Todos poseemos la capacidad de percibir o conocer algo sin que intervenga el pensamiento racional. Antes de que la neurociencia lo explicara, hablábamos de «corazonadas» o «intuición» para referirnos a este fenómeno, pero se trata en realidad de un «supersentido»: una capacidad muy avanzada que posee el cerebro para integrar información sensorial a la velocidad del rayo, sin pasar por la conciencia. ¿Cómo funciona y cómo podemos emplearlo para desarrollar nuestro máximo potencial? Steve Biddulph, considerado una eminencia mundial por sus revolucionarias investigaciones sobre psicología parental, ofrece en este libro una colección de herramientas que permitirán a lectores de toda edad y condición desarrollar y aplicar este supersentido en aspectos cada vez más concretos de su día a día. Basándose en los últimos hallazgos en neurociencia y en la psicoterapia más avanzada, presenta también el concepto de la «mansión de cuatro plantas», un sistema sencillo para explorar, entender y despertar distintos niveles de nuestra mente que generará cambios inmediatos en el lector.
