Titoli in Coscienza e pensiero

Here, Alain de Botton follows the arc of a mental health journey, from crisis to recuperation; the moments we realize we cannot cope; the acts of selfcare or therapy in which we find respite; and the days we finally reclaim a sense of stability. Written with understanding and kindness, it is both a source of companionship in our loneliest moments - whether it's a relationship breakdown, a career setback or anxiety around the everyday - and a practical guide that will help us find reasons for hope.

Grandes líderes, pensadores, artistas, atletas e visionários têm uma característica em comum: a capacidade de alcançar a quietude. Cínicos às vezes a confundem com ociosidade e indecisão, mas a verdade é que a quietude é a chave para ter autodomínio, disciplina e foco. É impossível avançar na vida sem ela. A quietude ajuda as pessoas a controlar impulsos, evitar distrações e ter grandes ideias. Sobretudo, permite que encontrem a felicidade e façam a coisa certa.

Under the light of ancient Western philosophies, our darker moods like grief, anguish, and depression can seem irrational. When viewed through the lens of modern psychology, they can even look like mental disorders. The self-help industry, determined to sell us the promise of a brighter future, can sometimes leave us feeling ashamed that we are not more grateful, happy, or optimistic. Night Vision invites us to consider a different approach to life, one in which we stop feeling bad about feeling bad.

'What is life?' asked the poet Shelley, and could not come up with an answer. Scientists, too, have not solved the puzzle. Yet biographers and obituarists continue to corral lives in a few columns, or a few hundred pages, aware all the time how fleeting and elusive their subject is. In Lifescapes, the acclaimed biographer and obituarist Ann Wroe reflects on a career spent pursuing life: a process, as she sees it, not of chronological narration but of trying to seize souls.

Drawing on his thirty years of teaching and service, Bo Lozoff shows why compassion—not success, self-improvement, or self-esteem—is at the root of happiness. Lozoff covers themes such as developing honesty, learning humility, dealing with anger, and honoring relationships. He shows how practices such as a daily vow of kindness or a simple commitment of time with others can have a profound effect on ourselves and our world.

"Warum lieben wir? Und kann man Liebe erlernen?" Bestsellerautor Wilhelm Schmid zeigt, wie es gelingt, die Liebe erfolgreich und erfüllend zu leben. Amüsant, leicht hörbar und teils sehr persönlich erzählt er darin von seinen Erkenntnissen über die Liebe, stellt sich den großen Fragen von Macht, Sex und Geld und unterschlägt auch nicht den alltäglichen Kleinkram, der das Zusammenleben oft erschwert.

Jay Garfield, a leading expert on Buddhist philosophy, offers a brief and radically clear account of an idea that at first might seem frightening but that promises to liberate us and improve our lives, our relationships, and the world. Drawing on Indian and East Asian Buddhism, Daoism, Western philosophy, and cognitive neuroscience, Garfield shows why it is perfectly natural to think you have a self—and why it actually makes no sense at all and is even dangerous. Most importantly, he explains why shedding the illusion that you have a self can make you a better person.

Solo integral es la modalidad más extrema de escalada. En su práctica, el escalador se juega la vida en cada uno de sus movimientos.

Im Jahre 1641 bemüht René Descartes sich, die Philosophie neu zu begründen. Er sammelt alle persönlichen Erfahrungen von erlittenen Irrtümern, erwiesener eigener Unzulänglichkeit um ein widerspruchfreies Gebiet als Neuanfang etablieren zu können. Er geht so weit mit der Infragestellung der Welt, dass er Gott als bösen Dämon akzeptieren würde, wenn es seiner Wahrheitsfindung diente. Sein gefundener Bereich heißt "Ich zweifle, also bin ich". Diese berühmten sechs Meditationen sind eine Einladung zum Denken.

Tobacco is bad for us; that’s a given. But even though you may know the negative health effects, nicotine’s hold is strong, subconscious and emotional: It tastes good, it’s a companion when you’re alone, and it can be a shield against stress. What if none of these things were true, though? It may seem hard to believe, and it’s okay to be skeptical, but coming to a new mindset about smoking is the key to quitting. In This Naked Mind: Nicotine, Annie Grace and William Porter combine their trusted approaches to overcoming problem drinking to vanquish tobacco addiction.

¿Cómo hago de la meditación parte de mi vida cotidiana? Cuando la mente y los pensamientos desaparecen, te vuelves consciente. ¿Qué es atención plena? Es la consciencia. Osho explora los obstáculos internos y externos que impiden llevar más consciencia a todas nuestras actividades diarias. Él enfatiza que, si bien las técnicas pueden ser útiles para señalar el camino, en sí mismas no son meditación. Por el contrario, la meditación es, en última instancia, un estado del ser en el que somos capaces tanto de acción como de quietud.

Das Ich und das Es: Wie funktioniert die Psyche? Laut Freud wird das Seelenleben durch drei Instanzen bestimmt: Das Es, das Ich, das Über-Ich. Dieses genetische Strukturmodell der Psyche entwickelte Freud 1923 - es ist bis heute von großer Bedeutung für die psychoanalytische Theoriebildung.
