***If you loved Alans first memoir - Look Who It Is! - then his follow-up, Alanatomy, will take you further into the hilarious and bizarre world of the countrys favourite chatty man.***As laugh out loud as his TV showsDaily MirrorIt must seem strange to you that Ive called a book Alanatomy . . . For anyone who has taken the time to see my stand-up performances or watched my chat show, Chattyman, knows that my body has hardly been kind to me - in fact thereve been times when weve actually stopped talking to each other. Balding, myopic, often flaky with psoriasis, back fat that hangs suspended like a cape, a voice that could strip varnish, an increasingly dodgy hip and even dodgier teeth. Why would you draw attention to it? you must ask. Couldnt you just call the book something else? Do you think the Great British Public is ready to pore over your body? Well, as I turn forty and take stock of my showbiz life over the last ten years or so, I have learnt to embrace my flaws and face my shortcomings. In fact, strange as it might seem, the things I hate about myself have become my trademark and I am slowly, begrudgingly learning to, if not love them, to at least live with them. I am ready now to take a long hard look at myself and thats what Alanatomy is. Its the story of my rise to fame: the joys, the traumas, the parties, the disappointments. Hopefully you will find it witty, fun, heartwarming, but more importantly honest, and that it will keep you entertained every time you pick it up. Alanatomy is the chance for you to get beneath my skin and see the real me because, and to continue the anatomical theme if I may, this showbiz existence can sometimes feel like an autopsy - picked at, probed and scrutinized with every inch of your body held up for analysis, but unlike an actual autopsy, you are very much alive. So I give you Alanatomy: The Inside Story. I am laying myself out on the slab for your entertainment; naked, stripped bare. Grab your scalpel, peel back the skin and go deep, have a good old probe around at my life so far. Yes, you are going to find guts, a fair bit of cheek, maybe even a little bit of gristle, but hopefully, youll find a whole lot of heart.

The brilliantly funny and inimitable Alan Carr tells his life story in his own words, from growing up in a football-mad family in Northampton to his rise to become one of Britains best-loved comedians. Puberty had been unkind. Whereas it had come in the night and left the other boys with chiselled, stubbly chins and deep masculine voices, Id been left with a huge pair of knockers and the voice of a pensioner. Alan Carr Alan Carr grew up in one of the most boring towns in England Northampton. A place known for making shoes. It was also known for its football club, Northampton Town FC. Alans dad as manager of the club was a local hero. A dream come true for most lads, but not Alan. Alan wore glasses and had man boobs at 14. He did not like P.E. In his very first book, Alan tells his life story, (oh and what a life) with his unique twist of natural, observational humour Im not saying Im a fantasist but there have been times when things that Ive seen on television when I was younger have tended to seep into my subconscious and blended into my own life. I remember telling my Mum about the time I stopped that woman from having a diamond encrusted necklace stolen and shed say No Alan, that was Poirot. With his tongue-in-cheek, end of pier humour that made him famous, Alan describes an ordinary life in bursts of technicolour. His journey from awkward schoolboy hiding his man-boobs on the pitch, drinking tea with the dinner ladies and working in a call centre, to becoming one of our best-loved comedians likened to the great Frankie Howerd, will make his book a guaranteed tickler with a laugh-out-loud gag on every page.

Durante gran parte de los últimos 50 años, los psicólogos clínicos se han dedicado principalmente a remediar déficits y afrontar problemas. En cambio, la psicología positiva se propone, sobre todo, potenciar la felicidad y el equilibrio personal mediante el estudio cientifico del papel que adquieren la fuerza interior de cada individuo y los sistemas sociales positivos en el fomento de un bienestar optimo. Asi, este libro se propone investigar todos los temas basicos de la psicologia positiva, incluyendo la felicidad, la esperanza, la creatividad y la sabiduria, en el contexto de sus posibles aplicaciones en la practica clinica.Psicologia positiva es una obra excepcional porque ofrece una introduccion asequible a este campo inexplorado de la psicologia clinica. Sin duda sera un recurso valioso para estudiantes y profesores universitarios de psicologia, que hallaran muy utiles los objetivos de aprendizaje y las propuestas de investigacion que se incluyen en cada capitulo. Tambien sera de interes para quienes se dediquen a la formacion de postgrado en otras areas afines como el trabajo social, la orientacion psicopedagogica y la psicoterapia.
