		<description><![CDATA[ 
Some people who were abused or neglected as children can come to see themselves as victims.

		<description><![CDATA[Is good luck just a matter of, well, luck, or are there things we can do to increase our chances of attracting opportunity and good fortune?
English psychologist, Professor Richard Wiseman thinks so. For ten years the professor studied 1000 people who described themselves as either lucky or unlucky and found that certain principles involved in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many women are troubled by their partner or boyfriend&#8217;s use of pornography. And they have good reason to be.As long ago as 350Bc, the philosopher Aristotle noted how, unless analyzed and controlled, human behaviour will typically tend toward extremes. Without external control or self-discipline, when it comes to anything that gives pleasure, human beings are [...]]]></description>

So when we are rejected, when we are ‘different&#8217;, when others judge us unfavourably, or when we have to bend over backwards to try to fit in, it can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anger is a powerful form of energy that can be either positive or negative.
For example, righteous anger, which we feel when we witness or experience injustice, discrimination, cruelty, exploitation, abuse, mistreatment, corruption or criminal acts is often harnessed to help us right wrongs and stand up for others and ourself.
Anger can be a self-protective force [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Impulsive people operate from the pleasure principle. Their life is haphazard, lacking goals and plans, shaped by chance encounters and luck. They avoid anything painful or important and live only for the moment. They are disorganized and undisciplined and resent interference, even if it would improve things for them.
They want what they want and they [...]]]></description>

The narcissist believes that to be without power is to be weak and to be weak is degrading and humiliating. The person who wants and needs power (or anything else) the most, is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people want to change something about themselves for the better. We want to be thinner, richer, happier, fitter, healthier, more loved, more admired.  We want to feel good about ourselves and we want others to see us as successful.
I think Robert Louis Stevenson got it right when he wrote:
