…mi hajtja a géniuszokat? Szeretnéd tudni, mit tanulhatsz a t?rténelem nagyjaitól, hogy a legt?bbet hozd ki magadból? Ha igen, vár rád egy kaland. Sean Patrick k?nyve hatalmas sikert aratott a tengerentúlon. Ha elolvasod, tizenegy bámulatos elme életébe pillanthatsz be. Megtudhatod, mi hajtotta ?ket, és hogyan alakította az életüket egy-egy jellemz? tulajdonság. Látni fogod t?bbek k?z?tt, hogyan indult útjára Walt Disney stúdiója, miként vált egy karddal játszó kisfiúból a hódító Nagy Sándor, vagy hogyan lett Nikola Tesla a megannyi nehézség ellenére az elektromosság atyja. A kiválóság nem adottság, hanem egy út, amire Te is ráléphetsz. Mondj ?IGEN!”-t a saját kalandodra, és ébreszd fel a benned rejl? géniuszt!

Egy szó, amely sszetrte fiatal géniuszok karrierjét. Egy szó, amely miatt hatalmas vagyonokat pazaroltak el és virágzó vállaltok dltek romba. Egy szó, amely sok-sok nyomorúságért és szégyenért felel. Ez a szó – az EGO. Az EGO az ellenség! Az alkalmazkodóképesség, az ambíció és a siker ellensége. Mert amikor 160-nal száguldasz egy szabálytalanul elz kocsi után azért, hogy durvaságokat vághass a fejéhez, amikor sszeveszel a legjobb barátoddal semmiségeken, amikor nem hívsz fel valakit, akit szeretsz, mert arra vársz, hogy hívjon fel – az egód játszik veled. Ryan Holiday világsiker knyve megmutatja, hogyan ismerheted fel tetteid mgtt a saját egódat, amely sokszor arra kényszerít, hogy érdekeid ellen dnts. Ha felismered, az els és legfontosabb lépést már megtetted! Az egódat el kell pusztítanod. Vagy pusztít el téged.” Ryan Holiday tbb világsiker m szerzje. Texasban él, a Columbia Egyetemen tanít. Knyvei szerte a világon alapmvek lettek, Thaifldtl az Egyesült llamokig, Vietnámtól Franciaországig.

Fehér alapon vrs betk. Sokáig úgy éreztem, hogy a kíváncsiságom vezérel, ma már tudom, hogy az csupán eszkz volt. A fehér számomra a tisztaság, a bels béke jelképe. A tisztaságot és a bels békét azonban csak harccal és fájdalommal lehet elérni: ezt szimbolizálják a vrs betk. Ez a knyv a lángolásról, a szenvedélyrl, a hitrl és a bels békérl szól. Korábbi változata – amelyet 8 évvel ezeltt írtam – az életrl vallott gondolataim durva megfogalmazása volt. Ez a bvített és átdolgozott új Drogma egy nkritikus, niróniával teli knyv, sokkal érettebb írás, amelyben az is benne van, hogy hogyan lehet mindezeket megszerezni. Mindannyian függk vagyunk, mégpedig a félelmeinktl. Azoknak ajánlom ezt a knyvet, akik mindezt már megfogalmazták maguknak…” A DROGMA nem csak a szenvedélyrl és a szenvedésrl szól, hanem magáról a függésrl. A Narkósról”, aki lehet drog-, gyógyszer-, alkohol-, játék-, társ-, vagy akár Csernus-függ is… Arról, hogy mit lehet tenni, ha valaki végképp elveszítette a kontrollt, és zsákutcába kormányozta magát. A DROGMA hét nap trténete. DR. CSERNUS IMRE hét napjáé, amelyeken külns sorsok bontakoznak ki az olvasók eltt. Hét nap, amelynek eseményeihez Dr. Csernus két egykori betege fz megjegyzéseket – hol szinte szeretettel, hol metsz cinizmussal. Hét nap, amelyeknek sikeréért újra és újra meg kell küzdeni. A DROGMA ma már kultuszknyv. Nyolc évvel ezeltt született, mégis aktuálisabb, mint valaha. A szerz ezúttal tükrt tart nmaga elé, és a szveghez fztt kommentárjaiban kegyetlen szinteséggel néz szembe egykori nmagával.

Depresszió. Egy sokak életét megkeserít? és t?nkretev? állapot, amely megosztja a gondolkodó embereket, és amellyel sokan mind a mai napig nem tudnak mit kezdeni. Vajon mi az oka ennek? A szerz? célja, hogy megmutassa: a depresszió nagyon is hétk?znapi jelenség, nincs benne semmi misztikum, semmi elborzasztó. Ez a k?tet nem az ismeretek didaktikus felsorolása, nem tank?nyvi rendszerezésben járja k?rül a témát az okoktól a terápiáig – erre számos kiváló szakk?nyv áll rendelkezésre. Nem találunk benne statisztikákat, bonyolult pszichológiai fejtegetéseket, vagy biológiai elméleteket, sem pedig a kezelési módszerek részleteit, hiszen ilyen munkák is szép számmal akadnak. E k?nyv legfontosabb célja: láttatni és érzékeltetni. Láttatni a depresszióról való gondolkodás dimenzióit, és érzékeltetni azt a sok-sok dilemmát, amellyel nap mint nap szembe kell néznie mind a depressziós embernek, mind pedig k?rnyezetének. BELS? N?RA érzéseket és benyomásokat k?zvetít a gyakorló pszichiáter szakmai – és lelki – szemén keresztül, hiszen a depressziót érzelmek nélkül nem lehet érteni és megértetni. Nézzünk szembe ?szintén a tényekkel és a valósággal, hiszen csakis a megismerés és a tudás biztosíthatja a gy?zelmet a depresszió elleni küzdelemben.

Prezentul volum este dedicat unei expuneri sintetice ?i accesibile a psihanalizei, care ?nglobeaz? ?i dep??e?te primele Prelegeri de introducere ?n psihanaliz? (1916–) ?i seria nou? a acelora?i prelegeri din 1933. Cronologic, ea acoper? aproape treizeci de ani, din 1909, anul celor cinci conferin?e ?inute ?n Statele Unite, care au marcat intrarea triumfal? a psihanalizei ?n Lumea Nou?, ?i 1938, ultimul an de via?? al lui Freud, c?nd ?ncepe aceast? scriere, r?mas? neterminat?.Adres?ndu-se, datorit? con?inutului s?u, ?n primul r?nd celor care doresc s? se ini?ieze ?n psihanaliz? —studen?i ai facult??ilor de psihologie, medicin?, pedagogie, sociologie, filosofie, litere ?i teologie —, volumul de fa?? poate re?ine ?i aten?ia speciali?tilor prin faptul c? reprezint? o sintez? a ?ntregii opere a lui Freud, la care se adaug? idei noi.?Nu, con?tien?a nu poate fi esen?a elementului psihic, ea este numai o calitate a acestuia, ?i anume o calitate inconstant? care mai des este absent?, dec?t prezent?. Factorul psihic ?n sine, oricare i-ar fi natura, este incon?tient, ?i probabil de un tip asem?n?tor cu toate celelalte procese din natur? despre care avem cuno?tin??. Pentru argumentarea acestei aser?iuni, psihanaliza se raporteaz? la un num?r de fapte.Visul este o psihoz?, cu toate inep?iile, forma?iunile delirante, iluziile senzoriale ale unei psihoze. E adev?rat, este o psihoz? de scurt? durat?, inofensiv?, ?nzestrat? chiar cu o func?ie folositoare, ini?iat? prin acordul persoanei, ?ncheiat? printr-un act de voin?? de c?tre ea. Cu toate acestea, este o psihoz? ?i ?nv???m pe baza ei c? p?n? ?i o modificare at?t de profund? a vie?ii psihice poate fi anulat?, poate l?sa spa?iu func?iei normale. Este atunci prea temerar s? sper?m c? ar trebui s? putem supune ?i ?mboln?virile spontane temute ale vie?ii psihice influen?ei noastre ?i s? le vindec?m?“ – Freud
