Lehet házunk a hegytet?n, men? kocsink a garázsban, drága holmikkal telet?m?tt gardróbunk, de mindez mit sem ér, ha nincs kivel megosztani az élményeinket. Van, aki hamar megtalálja élete párját, mások csak hosszú barangolás, megannyi kanyar után. Olykor nehéz, igen. Hinni, várni, szeretni, csalódni, talpra állni, és újra bízni. De eszünkbe ne jusson sajnálni az olykor keser? tapasztalatok egyetlen percét sem, hiszen minden rossz a javunkat szolgálja – már ha levonjuk a megfelel? tanulságot a t?rténtekb?l. Akár így, akár úgy, el?sz?r ismerkedjünk meg ?nmagunkkal, és ha tisztán látunk, biztosan észrevesszük azt a jókép? idegent, aki már alig várja, hogy megszólíthasson. Na, és ekkor beindul a móka, elindul k?z?s utunk. Addig pedig nincs más dolgunk, mint alaposan felkészülni a témából: Mit?l vonzó egy n? a pasik szemében? Mit hangsúlyoznak a férfiak ismerkedéskor? Miért fontos az els? randi? Tényleg édesapánk arcát keressünk a partnerünkben? Most akkor a hasonló a hasonlónak ?rül, vagy az ellentétek vonzzák egymást? Fogós kérdések, ugye? MEGYERI ZSUZSA D?RA párkapcsolati kisokosa a pszichológia t?rténetének legizgalmasabb kísérleteit, legérdekesebb kutatásait és felismeréseit gy?jti egy csokorba. Az eredmények szórakoztató és t?rténetekben b?velked? bemutatásával segít, hogy mi magunk is levonhassuk a ránk vonatkozó k?vetkeztetéseket, és az els? randitól a gyerekvállalásig a legt?bb nehéz helyzetet csillagos ?t?sre oldjuk meg – hiszen az élet párban szép!

Miért vannak nemek? Miért hal ki tízmillió év múlva a férfi? Mi a n?i szépség és mit vár a n? a férfit?l? Mire jó az orgazmus? Jó-e medd?ség ellen az orális szex? Mir?l árulkodik mutató- és gy?r?sujj-arányunk? Szendi Gábor A n? felemelkedése és tünd?klése cím? k?nyvében ehhez hasonló kérdésekre keresi a választ, mik?zben az evolúciós pszichológia néz?pontjából vizsgálja N? és Férfi kapcsolatát. Lebilincsel?en izgalmas gondolatmenetei bizonyítják, hogy ebben a férfik?zpontúnak hitt világban valójában a N? a titkos mozgató! A N? a szervez?je és egyben a f?díja annak a férfiak k?zt dúló, vérre men? viadalnak, amely érte folyik. Mik?zben a N? gyengének t?nik, az Er? vele van, ? az evolúció titkos favoritja!

Bir psikanalist olmas? sebebiyle Fromm, dü?ünce te-mellerini ?nemli derecede Freud dü?üncesi üzerine oturtmu?tur.

Hayvan olarak doyurulmas? gereken fizyolojik ?zellikleri vard?r. ?nsan olaraksa ak?l yürütebilir, benli?inin bilincindedir. ?nsan?n psi?esini anlaman?n yolu onun var olu?undan kaynaklanan gereksinimlerini ??zümleyebilmeye dayal?d?r  ?nsan?n var olu?undan kaynaklanan gereksinimler: 1. ?li?ki Gereksinimi; ?nsan, insan olma u?runa do?adan kopmu?tur. ?yleyse do?a ile olan birincil beraberli?inden kopmu?tur. Hayvan do?a ile ba? edebilecek güce sahiptir. Oysa insan imgeleme ve dü?ünce gücüne sahip olup do?a ile yak?n ve ba??ml?l??a dayanan ili?kisini yitirmi?tir. ?nsan?n kendi ili?kilerini kurabilmesi i?in büyük bir ?aba harcamas? gerekir. Doyum sa?layabilmesi i?in de üremeye y?nelik bir sevgiye ihtiyac? vard?r. Bu tür bir sevgi ise kar??l?kl? sorumluluk, sayg?, ?zen ve anlay?? gerektirir.  2. A?k?n Olma Gereksinimi; ?nsan a?k?n olmaya zorlan?r ?ünkü hayvans? do?as?n?n üstüne ??kmak, herhangi bir varl?k olmak yerine yarat?c? bir varl?k olmak gereksinimindedir. ?nsan?n yarat?c? dürtüleri engellendi?i zaman y?k?c? olur. Sevgi ve nefret kar??t dürtüler de?ildir. ?kisi de insan?n hayvan do?as?n? a?abilme ?abas?ndan kaynaklan?r. Hayvan ne sevebilir ne de nefret edebilir. Oysa insan hem sevebilir em de nefret edebilir.  3. ?nsan do?al k?kenini arar; ?nsan dünyan?n tamamlay?c? bir par?as? oldu?unu ve bir yere ait oldu?unu hissetmek ister. ?ocukken anne-babas?na ait hisseder. Ancak geli?tik?e bu duygunun ortadan kalkmas? gerekir. (Yoksa tehlikeli sonu?lar do?urabilir. ) ?nsan kendisine en fazla doyum sa?layan ve en sa?l?kl? ait olma duygular?n? di?er insanlarla dost?a duygular ya?ayarak sa?lar.  4. Ki?isel bir kimli?e sahip olmak ister; Bazen birey yarat?c? gücünü kullanarak amac?na ula?amaz. O zaman bir grup ya da bir ba?kas? ile ?zde?le?erek farkl?l?k kazanabilir. B?yle durumlarda kimlik duygusu birisi olmaktan de?il, birine it olmaktan kaynaklan?r.  5. Her birey bir ba?vuru ?er?evesine ihtiya? duyar; Asl?nda bireyin i?inde ya?ad??? dünyay? tutarl? bir bi?imde alg?layabilmesini sa?lar. ?er?eve mant?kl? ya da mant?ks?z olabilir. ?lk ba?vuru ?er?evesi, ailesidir.   Fromm’a g?re bu gereksinimler insana ?zgüdür, hayvanlarda bulunmaz. Ayr?ca bu gereksinimler insanlar?n belirtmeleri g?zlenerek anla??lmaz. Asl?nda bu gereksinimler insan?n evrimi boyunca insan?n do?as?nda olu?mu?tur. Bu gereksinimlerin belirtilmesi, insan?n i?sel yetilerini tan?ma yollar? bireyin i?inde ya?ad??? toplumun düzenlemeleri taraf?ndan belirlenir.

Barbara Cartland was the world’s most prolific novelist who wrote an amazing 723 books in her lifetime, of which no less than 644 were romantic novels with worldwide sales of over 1 billion copies and her books were translated into 36 different languages. As well as romantic novels, she wrote historical biographies, 6 autobiographies, theatrical plays and books of advice on life, love, vitamins and cookery. She wrote her first book at the age of 21 and it was called Jigsaw. It became an immediate bestseller and sold 100,000 copies in hardback in England and all over Europe in translation. Between the ages of 77 and 97 she increased her output and wrote an incredible 400 romances as the demand for her romances was so strong all over the world. She wrote her last book at the age of 97 and it was entitled perhaps prophetically The Way to Heaven. Her books have always been immensely popular in the United States where in 1976 her current books were at numbers 1 & 2 in the B. Dalton bestsellers list, a feat never achieved before or since by any author. Barbara Cartland became a legend in her own lifetime and will be best remembered for her wonderful romantic novels so loved by her millions of readers throughout the world, who have always collected her books to read again and again, especially when they feel miserable or depressed. Her books will always be treasured for their moral message, her pure and innocent heroines, her handsome and dashing heroes, her blissful happy endings and above all for her belief that the power of love is more important than anything else in everyone’s life. When dire financial straits force her brother Harry to sell the increasingly dilapidated family seat, Queen’s Hoo, Anthea Brooke, the beautiful daughter of the late Lord Colnbrooke, puts on a brave face. And she is delighted that Harry, under an assumed name, will take up the position of estate manager to the new owner and oversee the restoration of the ancient house while Harry, Anthea and their aged Nanny move to the much more compact Dower House. Anthea takes an instant dislike to the handsome but haughty, cynically womanising new owner, the Marquis of Eaglescliffe., known to everyone as ‘Eagle’ So when she is called upon to play the piano incognito for his rather disreputable house party she is daunted and apprehensive as her brother has warned her severely against even meeting the Marquis. But no sooner than she flees the Marquis’s unwanted attentions by escaping through a series of secret passages unknown to him, she overhears a sinister plot to kill him. Not just once, but twice and Anthea acts at once to save the Marquis’s life on both occasions. And slowly but surely their shared passion for music, in particular the piano, is transformed into a love that they will forever share.

Fresh from heroic exploits in the Battle of Trafalgar, Captain Conrad ‘Tiger’ Horn has returned to Portsmouth take command of a magnificent new ship, The Invincible, which he is to sail to Antigua to defend British trading routes against American privateers and, of course, the French. But the fly in the ointment is that he is obliged to take with him on his voyage his cousin, Lady Delora Horn, whom he has never met but whom he already loathes, assuming that she is cut from the same cloth as her obnoxious brother, the Earl of Scawthorn, who has arranged for her to marry in Antigua a certain Lord Grammell, who is the Governor of the British island. Conrad at once feels sorry for her, as Lord Grammell is not only past sixty and notorious as a drunkard, he is also hugely fat, unpleasant, foul-mouthed and debauched. And he is only interested in marrying Delora for the large fortune she has inherited from her American mother as he will be able to control it once they are wed. But Delora’s appearance comes as a shock to Conrad. Far from the hard-faced mature woman he anticipates, she is young and utterly lovely with eyes the colour of the deep blue sea, golden hair, and with an air of unsophisticated and unspoilt innocence. Soon amid perilous battles on the high seas when Conrad is seriously wounded in the leg by enemy grapeshot, the beautiful Delora saves the Captain’s life and limb and love blossoms between them. But so does despair for she is already unwillingly betrothed to the monstrous Lord Grammell, who is waiting eagerly for her when The Invincible eventually does arrive in Antigua.
