ASK FOR HELP-IT WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER

Everyone hates asking for help. We're afraid of seeming weak. We think it's an admission of failure. We simply don't know how. So instead we continue to struggle on alone with both day-to-day burdens and serious crises. But, as Nora Klaver shows, we make things much harder on ourselves by not reaching out. Through engaging, often humorous per- sonal stories, Klaver examines why we don't ask for help and shows how changing this counter-productive mindset can enrich us emotionally, boost our confi – dence, and strengthen our relationships.

Chock full of illustrative exercises and real-life examples, Mayday! Empowers you to get the help you need and deserve both at work and in your personal life.
