Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have read numerous , self-help and psychology books. However one thing that eating me away inside was my inability to put 100% in my work. I just didn't have enough motivation. However, after reading this book, I realized that I had skipped some essential skills required for my job and pretending that everything was alright when it was not. This explains why I was not genuinely happy at the job, but just dreading the work to be done each day. Thank you Petruska for this intelligent work with acute awareness of what goes inside minds of people like me.

Almost everyone has heard of an "Achilles heel,"--an expression derived from the Greek myth of the warrior who, when he was born, was dipped by his mother in the magical River Styx, but was held by the heel, which remained his vulnerable spot. A psychotherapist who is a consultant to many corporate leaders offers a brilliant analysis of the "Achilles Syndrome" of many people today who downplay their many strengths and talents and become consumed by real or imagined weakness. Revealing examples of famous people (made anonymous through composite case histories) show how the fear of "pseudo-competency" arises from a person's early experience in self-image, and how it's possible to close the gap between one's low assessment of oneself and the high assessments by others. The range of examples includes those of executives and middle managers as well as artists and musicians, spouses and parents, and even psychotherapists.
