An aspiring actress can't get herself to auditions; a job seeker can't get herself to send out her resume; a business consultant is reluctant to talk money with her clients. All these women have the same problem: I want to, but I can't get myself to...In GIVING AWAY SUCCESS, Dr. Schenkel shows how these patterns fit into the broader context of the psychology of women. Intelligent, talented women who feel they are unable to move forward - who get stuck - despite a conscious desire to succeed. She demystifies the psychological issues that cause many women to feel blocked from achievement by internal obstacles they cannot understand,much less articulate.Dr. Schenkel explains why such women lack confidence in their abilities, how they have learned helplessness, why they fear failure, and why they lack self-assertion. And, although these problems aren't unique to women - men have them too - Dr. Schenkel also explains the profound difference in the manifestation of these issues between the sexes. Unlike men's socialization that encourages achievement, women's socialization gives very mixed messages that inhibit action. Growing up female creates, for many women, internal obstacles to achievement. GIIVNG AWAY SUCCESS was first published in print editions McGraw-Hill,1984; revised edition, Random House, 1991; paperback, HarperCollins, 1992). The book was a selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club, the Quality Paperback Book Club, the Psychotherapy Book Club, and Buchclub Ex Libris of Zurich. It was translated into German, Chinese, and Portuguese. GIVING WAY SUCCESS went out of print in the beginning of 1995.Although much has changed since then, consistent feedback indicates that the book is still relevant and helpful. Recently, for example, a Spanish woman wrote, Your book is so inspiring to me that I translated it for my sister and other friends.In this rapidly changing and demanding world, it's more important than ever that women are able to overcome internal obstacles and take action. The second half of the book teaches how to do this.It describes practical strategies and techniques for getting unstuck, derived from Dr. Schenkel's counseling practice and a field of psychology called behavioral self-management. These simple practices, carefully detailed and easy to follow, will help women manage their behavior more effectively and help them achieve - rather than give away - success.
