Sind wir wirklich böse? Das Auge-um-Auge-Prinzip verändern. Wohin wir auch schauen: Das Böse und Zerstörerische hält die Menschheit seit jeher in Atem und scheint fortwährend neue Nahrung zu bekommen. Bleiben wir dieser Dynamik für immer ausgeliefert? "Nein", sagt der Psychoanalytiker Hans-Otto Thomashoff, und rüttelt mit diesem spektakulären Buch an unserem gewohnten Weltbild. Denn frappierende neue Denkansätze zeigen, wie wir der Aggressionsspirale entkommen können. Im Privaten ebenso wie in Gesellschaft und Politik.

It’s become fashionable to argue that free will is a fiction: that we humans are in the thrall of animal urges and unconscious biases and only think that we are choosing freely. Kennon Sheldon argues that this perception is not only wrong but also dangerous. Drawing on decades of his own research, Sheldon shows us that embracing the ability to choose our path in life makes us happier, healthier, and more fulfilled. He also shows that this insight can help us choose better goals—ones that are concordant with our values and we’re more likely to actually see through.

Dr. Matthias Ennenbach hat aus unzähligen Patientengesprächen ein allgemein gültiges Erklärungsmodell entwickelt, das die Psychosomatik aus der "Psychoecke" holt. Die erleichternde Botschaft: Jeder Mensch funktioniert psychosomatisch! Es gibt weder rein körperliche noch rein psychisch-nervliche Erkrankungen, sondern immer nur ein Wechselspiel von beidem. Und das lässt sich anschaulich darstellen.

Você já ficou intrigado pensando no que faz com que um produto, um serviço ou mesmo atitudes virem moda da noite para o dia? Já imaginou que tipo de mudança faz, por exemplo, com que livros desconhecidos se transformem em best-sellers? Nesse audiolivro, Malcolm Gladwell apresenta uma maneira instigante e original de entender fenômenos sociais desse tipo: vê-los como epidemias. "Idéias, produtos, mensagens e comportamentos se espalham como vírus", diz o autor. E o momento decisivo em que essas novidades se alastram—ou se acabam—é o que ele chama de o Ponto da Virada.

What is the human mind’s relationship to the ‘ground’? Why has man accumulated knowledge? When you love somebody there is no ‘me’, it is love. In the same way, when I say I am humanity, it is so. It is not an idea; it is not a conclusion; it is part of me. There is only one thing, and that is to discover that what I have done is useless, ashes.

Can insight change the brain cells? In the brain, is there an activity that is not touched by consciousness? Insight is not dependent on the material process, which is thought. Where there is violence, peace cannot exist. Where there is peace, is there violence? As insight is causeless, is not born out of cause, that insight has a definite effect on that which has cause. The material process acts in ignorance, in darkness.

Can there be a total perception which completely heals the brain? What benefit has culture? Does speech come before thought? Is it possible to say something without the operation of thought? Is there in the brain anything untouched by culture? Is attention a conscious process? Is love the factor of profound change?

To live in this world with intelligence, in spite of all the complications. Is it possible to be free of fear, not only the superficial fear in relationship but the deep-rooted fear? Thought nourishes, sustains and gives continuity to fear and pleasure. When you are learning, your mind is awake. Truth isn’t second-hand; you can’t get it through a guru, a book, you have to learn about it. The beauty of learning is that you don’t know what truth is. What is love?

Der Blick in den Spiegel schmerzt: Narzisst_innen – das sind wir alle. Jeder Mensch will sich wertvoll und gewollt fühlen. Doch oft suchen wir nach Anerkennung durch Statussymbole und Selbstoptimierung – auf Kosten anderer. Psychosomatische Probleme sind die Folgen, Klimakrise und Pandemien die globale Konsequenz. Katharina Ohana überrascht mit einer neuen Sicht auf den Homo sapiens und schmeißt viele Prinzipien der Aufklärung über Bord: Wir denken nicht rational. Wir streben nach Aufwertung. So muss unser Menschenbild artgerechter werden.

Neste livro, o consagrado psicólogo Dan Ariely uniu forças com o comediante Jeff Kreisler para revelar como as emoções dominam nossa maneira de lidar com o dinheiro e para derrubar as mais consagradas—e equivocadas—premissas das finanças pessoais.

Muita gente acredita que a melhor maneira de motivar alguém é oferecer algum tipo de recompensa, como prêmios, promoções ou dinheiro. Esta visão está errada, diz Daniel Pink. Segundo ele, o segredo da alta performance e da satisfação está ligado à necessidade essencialmente humana de aprender e criar coisas novas, ter autonomia e melhorar o mundo para nós e para os outros.

Como Fidel Castro conseguiu enganar a CIA durante décadas? Por que Neville Chamberlain pensou que podia confiar em Hitler? Por que os casos de ataques sexuais nas universidades estão crescendo?
