I have a VERY dysfunctional family. Name the problem and we’ve got it, but for the most part I think I turned out "normal". I feel afraid that my upbringing is eventually going to potentially hurt me when I start a family though, and most importantly hurt them. I want to find a book to help me cope with my family and to help me learn how to deal with the lasting effects that may be invisible now but might show up in the future

Here are three that I found particularly interesting:

Adult Children of Abusive Parents: A Healing Program for Those Who Have Been Physically, Sexually, or Emotionally Abused by Stephen Farmer

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0345363884/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance

Adult Children as Husbands, Wives, and Lovers: A Solutions Book by Stephen Farmer

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0345373405/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance

Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life by Susan Forward

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0553381407/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance

Good for you for wanting to escape the cycle of abuse and do better for your future family. Best of luck to you!

http://www.ted.com Alain de Botton examines our ideas of success and failure — and questions the assumptions underlying these two judgments. Is Success always earned? Is failure? He makes an eloquent, witty case to move beyond snobbery to find true pleasure in our work.
