A king was once hunting in a great wood, and he hunted the game so eagerly that none of his courtiers could follow him. When evening came on he stood still and looked round him, and he saw that he had quite lost himself. He sought a way out, but could find none. Then he saw an old woman with a shaking head coming towards him; but she was a witch.

Ever wondered what to do in polite society if you find an insect in your food? Or how a gentleman should ask a lady to dance? And what on earth is the etiquette for smoking cigars? First published in 1860, Cecil B. Hartley's classic guide to gentlemanly behaviour is a veritable mine of information and indispensable advice for aspiring gentlemen. No matter if a man finds himself at a party, meeting someone new or travelling abroad, he has but to leaf through this book to learn how best to behave, and indeed how not to behave. And if he can find time between his numerous invitations to balls and hunting parties, he could benefit from a perusal of the sections on gentlemanly deportment and conversational technique. Not forgetting, of course, the all-important advice on how to treat ladies, surely an integral part of any true gentleman's training. Published here in a stunning edition alongside The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, this is the perfect gift for the would-be gentleman in your life. While it's an excellent volume for dipping into for hilarious nuggets of outdated advice, this guide also contains advice on all manner of topics, from beard-keeping to chivalry, that are just as relevant today as they were in Cecil B. Hartley's time. As he says himself: 'Once a gentleman always a gentleman' and be sure that you can so carry out the rule, that in your most careless, joyous moments, when freest from the restraints of etiquette, you can still be recognizable as a gentleman by every act, word, or look.

Provine p??e?te f?r? team? pe c?r?ri rareori b?tute de al?i oameni de ?tiin?? – ?n c?utarea sughi?urilor, tusei, c?scatului, str?nuturilor ?i a altor comportamente umane, aparent nedemne ?i de joas? spe??. De?i multe dintre activit??ile prezentate ?n Comportamente bizare sunt contagioase, ?n aceast? privin??, niciunul dintre ele nu ?ntrece c?scatul – p?n? ?i simpla citire a cuv?ntului ne poate face s?-i c?dem prad?.

Implacabilul s?u mecanism de transmitere ne reaminte?te c?, uneori, suntem programa?i neurologic s? ne comport?m ca ni?te simple animale de turm? incon?tiente. ?Deschide?i cartea aceasta, care se bazeaz? pe cercet?ri serioase, dar care se cite?te ca un roman poli?ist, ?i descoperi?i lucruri pe care nici nu vi le-a?i fi imaginat vreodat? despre aceste comportamente.“ Frans de Waal, profesor la Universitatea Emory ?i autor al lucr?rii The Age of Empathy(2009)

Philosophers have explained space. They have not explained time. It is the inexplicable raw material of everything. With it, all is possible; without it, nothing. The supply of time is truly a daily miracle, an affair genuinely astonishing when one examines it.

Conversations with Stones contains information for connecting with 68 high vibration stones. Accompanying each one you will find a message channeled directly from the crystals, followed by its metaphysical uses and a meditation to help you connect to the energy of that stone. You will learn how to use crystal grids for manifestation and visualization, how to form you own Crystal Club, and how to talk to your own stones at home. Stones have been here since the beginning of time, watching our planet form among the stars, seeing our earthly plants breath their first breath, cheering us on as we took our first steps. Each crystal has its own unique spirit, and its own driving mission. Many of the crystals and minerals in this book are quite rare or unusual. Every stone is special, with its own energy signature and message for you, the bearer. Small or large, each one is a powerful tool for connecting with the divine and shifting your vibration.

Limbajul, ca func?ie psihic? specific uman?, se afl? la confluen?a mai multor discipline, printre care filosofia, psihologia, neurobiologia, psihopedagogia special?, logopedia. Tulbur?rile sale, fie c? sunt de natur? organic?, func?ional? sau psihologic?, restr?ng capacitatea de comunicare a individului ?i, implicit, via?a lui social?. ?n cartea de fa??, pornind de la modelele explicative ale tulbur?rilor de limbaj ?i prezent?nd metode de evaluare ?i interven?ie a c?ror eficacitate a fost demonstrat? ?tiin?ific, autoarea realizeaz? o deschidere spre tulbur?rile emo?ionale, comportamentale, de ?nv??are ?i nu numai, ?ncadr?ndu-le ?n contextul mai larg al mentalului uman.

ntr-o cultur mercantil i narcisic, puini mai reuesc s triasc o iubire mplinit i autentic, stabil i satisfctoare. i aceasta, pentru c uitm adesea c iubirea, ca orice fel de art“, are nevoie de exerciiu i rbdare, de concentrare i determinare. n aceast carte clasic, Fromm exploreaz diversele chipuri ale iubirii, ncepnd cu forma ei romantic (adesea greit neleas), continund cu dragostea fratern i cea erotic i ncheind cu iubirea de sine i de Dumnezeu, precum i cu dragostea pentru prini i copii. Scris cu jumtate de secol n urm, acest ghid al ndrgostitului rtcit este mai actual ca oricnd, oferind, ntr-un limbaj limpede, ci spre un plus de intimitate, de pasiune i de rezonan afectiv. Lecia lui Fromm este c iubirea ncepe prin a oferi ceva celui drag (bucurie, nelegere, umor, curiozitate sau chiar tristee), prin a drui toate expresiile a ceea ce este viu n noi“.n anii 1970, am fost adeseori martor al felului deosebit n care Fromm i exprima iubirea. O simeam n felul n care ncepea o conversaie cu cineva. i, mai presus de toate, o simeam n felul n care se raporta la soia lui, Annis: cnd o sruta n lift, cnd i lua rmas bun, cnd o privea i o atingea. Capacitatea lui Fromm de a drui iubire poate fi resimit chiar i azi de cei care citesc Arta de a iubi.“ – Rainer Funk, psihanalist i fost asistent al lui E. FrommIubirea nu este n primul rnd o relaie cu o anumit persoan. Ea este o atitudine, o orientare a caracterului care determin relaionarea unei persoane cu lumea ca ntreg i nu doar cu un unic obiect al iubirii. Dac cineva iubete doar o alt persoan i este indiferent fa de restul semenilor si, iubirea sa nu este iubire, ci ataament simbiotic sau autocentrare amplificat.“ – Erich Fromm

E?ti curios s? afli ce aduce schimbarea ?ntr-o psihanaliz?? Care este acel ingredient miraculos ce apare ?n rela?ia dintre terapeut ?i pacientul s?u, facilit?nd vindecarea acestuia din urm?? Owen Renik, ?rebelul“, a?a cum este numit de confra?ii s?i, ne invit? ?n cabinetul s?u ?i ne las? s? p?trundem delicatele ?es?turi ale colabor?rii ce se petrece acolo pe dou? planuri: con?tient ?i incon?tient. El ne ofer? imaginea unui psihanalist mai degrab? cald ?i empatic, deschis, interesat ?mpreun? cu pacien?ii s?i de eliminarea simptomelor ?i a disconfortului acestora. Cartea este construit? pe baza unor exemple clinice dintre cele mai diverse, surprinse ?n momente de cotitur? ale terapiei, Renik ilustr?nd prin intermediul lor, ?ntr-un limbaj accesibil, propria viziune asupra unor concepte de baz? ale psihanalizei.Captivant? ?nc? de la primele r?nduri, ea se adreseaz? cititorului pasionat de domeniul ?psi“, fie el profesionist sau profan. Scopul meu este s? discut de o manier? pragmatic? ?i nepreten?ioas? ceea ce, ?n experien?a mea, ar fi util ca at?t analistul, c?t ?i pacientul s? aib? ?n vedere atunci c?nd colaboreaz? ?n str?dania de a-l face pe acesta din urm? s? se simt? mai bine; ?i cred c? modul cel mai potrivit ?n care pot face acest lucru este prin a oferi o culegere de istorisiri cu t?lc, ?mpreun? cu reflec?iile mele despre ele. – Owen Renik Maturizarea intelectual? a lui Renik s-a produs ?n interiorul culturii psihanalitice care s-a dezvoltat pe parcursul ultimului secol. El o cunoa?te bine, ar fi ?n stare s? se descurce cu ochii ?nchi?i prin labirintul ei… ?nv???tura primit? e acceptat? f?r? plec?ciuni, iar dac? nu-?i are rostul, e dat? deoparte f?r? mult? ceremonie. ?ncep?nd cu prima pagin?, ne d?m seama c? ne afl?m ?ntr-un atelier de lucru, nu ?ntr-un templu. Pragmatismul lui ??i taie r?suflarea: ce ne folose?te e important, ce nu, n-are rost s? ne pierdem vremea. Chilia ce nu permite dec?t g?ndire ?nghesuit? s-a transformat ?n spa?iu deschis care cheam? noutatea. Drept-credincio?ii trebuie avertiza?i: s-ar putea s? nu mai fie niciodat? la fel ca ?nainte. – Allen Wheelis, autorul c?r?ilor How People Change ?i The Way We Are.
