The secret significance of journalism: life (says the public) is dull. But good newspapers are a report of life, and good newspapers are not dull. A practical guide for those who are outside and would fain be inside, a newspaper office.

No one is a worse guide to success than your typical successful man. He seldom understands the reasons of his own success; and when he is asked by a popular magazine to give his experiences for the benefit of the youth of a whole nation, it is impossible for him to be natural and sincere. He knows the kind of thing that is expected from him, and if he didn’t come to London with half a crown in his pocket he probably did something equally silly, and he puts that down, and the note of the article or interview is struck, and good-bye to genuine truth!

San Pedro / Huachuma: Opening The Pathways Of The Heart is an invitation to explore and reconnect with our inner landscapes with the help of San Pedro, also known in South America as Huachuma. San Pedro (Echinopsis pachanoi) is a psychoactive cactus native of the Andes, but more importantly it’s an ancestral medicine that has been used for millennia for healing and ceremonial purposes. Our Western psychic and psychological make-up differs radically from that of Andean people, and our needs as modern people differ just as much from the needs of the ancestors and inhabitants of this land. This book intends to bridge such cultural gap in ways that honor the wealth of wisdom gathered through centuries of native studies and experimentation, and at the same time address our present day state of emotional disconnection and spiritual confusion, which are at the root of most physical, emotional, and mental diseases. Javier Regueiro draws a comprehensive and practical map for exploring consciousness using this ancestral medicine by sharing from his extensive knowledge as a plant medicine person, his personal experiences, and those of the many people he has guided over the years using this medicine.

In “Educational Disobedience,” educationist, Dr. Annise Mabry, offers a compelling, unique and refreshing insight into how she helps her children overcome the limitations of what she terms “a broken education system,” in the State of Georgia. Her decision to homeschool them were borne largely due to the fact that they were not receiving the best of education, and more because protection from the unending problem of bullying in public schools was lacking. She soon realized that only a crucial intervention could save her family from falling apart, and it was a decision that proved timely because not only did she achieve her objectives, but she also ended up saving her community! She has helped many parents to transform their children from struggling students to homeschool high school graduates!This isn't the guide for how to homescool--it's the story of survival because of homeschool.

Interac?iunea cu persoanele dificile poate fi foarte demoralizatoare. Ea ??i poate tulbura starea emo?ional? ?i te poate ?mpiedica s? ??i atingi ?elurile. Avem de?a face cu oameni dificili, practic, tot timpul, at?t ?n rela?iile profesionale, c?t ?i ?n via?a de zi cu zi. ?i ?nt?lnim frecvent ?n situa?ii ?n care stresul poate face un om, de obicei ra?ional, s? se comporte ca un b?d?ran, s? devin? brusc ner?bd?tor, s? ac?ioneze sub imperiul nervilor – de?i, uneori, poate ap?rea ?i o combina?ie a acestor trei situa?ii. Mul?i oameni dificili nu ??i dau seama c? se comport? ur?t, ?n vreme ce al?ii se comport? sistematic ?n acest fel deoarece au impresia c? reu?esc s? ?i domine pe ceilal?i ?n via?a cotidian?.

Al?turi de profesie ?i de rela?iile sociale, ?ntemeierea unei familii reprezint?, pentru Adler, una dintre cele trei mari sarcini ale unei vie?i ?mplinite. Antologia de fa?? reune?te concep?iile adleriene asupra dinamicii sexualit??ii, iubirii ?i mariajului, idei aflate ?n v?dit contrast cu viziunea lui Freud. C?ci, dac? pentru ultimul, personalitatea este determinat? ?n esen?? de pulsiuni, ?n cazul lui Adler, adaptarea la lumea social? st? ?n centrul personalit??ii ?n ?ntregul ei. Pe l?ng? descifrarea "protestului viril", tem? crucial? pentru ?n?elegerea feminismului, cartea face ample referiri la mecanismele specifice vie?ii de cuplu ?i la modul ?n care leg?turile conjugale pot fi perturbate de educa?ia sexual? inadecvat?, de lupta pentru putere sau de atitudinile discordante fa?? de sexualitate ?i familie. Scriitura clar? ?i multiplele ilustr?ri de caz recomand? aceast? antologie nu doar studen?ilor ?i psihologilor practicieni, ci ?i publicului larg. "Adler a ?n?eles c? oamenii sunt mai ?nt?i de toate fiin?e sociale ?i, de aceea, a sus?inut c? problemele ?i conflictele din cuplu nu reflect? patologii personale, ci reprezint? mai degrab? dificult??i la nivelul cooper?rii dintre parteneri. Adlerienii cred c? abilit??ile de care e nevoie pentru o rela?ie s?n?toas? pot fi ?nv??ate. Nimeni nu are ?n gene talentul bunei rela?ion?ri." – Jon Carlson, coautorul c?r?ii Mumia de la masa din sufragerie"Erotismul nu este niciodat? doar o pulsiune sexual? animalic?.

L'auteur, conférencier, étudie depuis quarante ans, les phénomènes inexpliqués. Il s'est initié seul, intuitivement, au magnétisme puis à la communication avec l'au-delà, depuis le printemps 1993. "Ma quête spirituelle m'a ouvert tant de portes nouvelles que j'ai choisi le format d'un abécédaire pour présenter ses multiples facettes. Je vis et je pratique une spiritualité naturelle offerte à tous ceux qui acceptent de s'interroger, de remettre en question leurs vieilles certitudes en les confrontant au filtre de l'intuition. J'ai usé et j'use toujours de ma médiumnité comme d'un outil privilégié de recherches. L'aventure intérieure m'a peu à peu mené vers les mathématiques puis la physique alors que ma formation ne m'y préparait pas. Ma spiritualité n'a pas seulement changé mes perceptions ; elle a bousculé mes certitudes fondées, le plus souvent, sur l'opinion d'un autre. Par elle et avec elle, ma relation aux autres a changé. Le travail sur soi, plus que le don, m'a peu à peu conduit, au fil des ans, à juguler et atténuer de plus en plus ces excès de l'ego que nous connaissons tous. Chaque lecteur pourra parcourir ce livre en suivant ses propres centres d'intérêt. S'il le souhaite, il pourra peut-être découvrir, au fil des mots choisis, un autre chemin offrant un regard neuf sur ce monde si mystérieux qui nous contient et nous entoure."

This book contains a selection of articles and pamphlets on analytical psychology written at intervals during the past fourteen years. These years have seen the development of a new discipline, and as is usual in such a case, have involved many changes of view-point, of concept, and of formulation.??It is not my intention to give a presentation of the fundamental concepts of analytical psychology in this book; it throws some light, however, on a certain line of development which is especially characteristic of the Zürich School of psychoanalysis.??As is well known, the merit of the discovery of the new analytical method of general psychology belongs to Professor Freud of Vienna. His original view-points had to undergo many essential modifications, some of them owing to the work done at Zürich, in spite of the fact that he himself is far from agreeing with the standpoint of this school.??I am unable to explain fully the fundamental differences between the two schools, but would indicate the following points: The Vienna School takes the standpoint of an exclusive sexualistic conception, while that of the Zürich School is symbolistic. The Vienna School interprets the psychological symbol semiotically, as a sign or token of certain primitive psychosexual processes. Its method is analytical and causal.??The Zurich School recognises the scientific feasibility of such a conception, but denies its exclusive validity, for it does not interpret the psychological symbol semiotically only, but also symbolistically, that is, it attributes a positive value to the symbol.??The value does not depend merely on historical causes; its chief importance lies in the fact that it has a meaning for the actual present, and for the future, in their psychological aspects. For to the Zürich School the symbol is not merely a sign of something repressed and concealed, but is at the same time an attempt to comprehend and to point out the way of the further psychological development of the individual. Thus we add a prospective import to the retrospective value of the symbol.??The method of the Zurich School is therefore not only analytical and causal, but also synthetic and prospective, in recognition that the human mind is characterised by "caus?" and also by "fines" (aims). The latter fact needs particular emphasis, because there are two types of psychology, the one following the principle of hedonism, and the other following the principle of power. Scientific materialism is pertinent to the former type, and the philosophy of Nietzsche to the latter. The principle of the Freudian theory is hedonism, while that of Adler (one of Freud's earliest personal pupils) is founded upon the principle of power.??The Zurich School, recognising the existence of these two types (also remarked by the late Professor William James), considers that the views of Freud and Adler are one-sided, and only valid within the limits of their corresponding type.??Freud and Adler interpret in the analytical and causal way, reducing to the infantile and primitive. Thus with Freud the conception of the "aim" is the fulfilment of desire, with Adler it is the usurpation of power. Both authors take the standpoint in their practical analytical work which brings to view only infantile and gross egoistic aims.??The Zurich School is convinced of the fact that within the limits of a diseased mental attitude the psychology is such as Freud and Adler describe. It is, indeed, just on account of such impossible and childish psychology that the individual is in a state of inward dissociation and hence neurotic. The Zürich School, therefore, in agreement with them so far, also reduces the psychological symbol (the phantasy products of the patient) to the fundamental infantile hedonism, or to the infantile desire for power. But Freud and Adler content themselves with the result of mere reduction, according to their scientific biologism and naturalism.

The following pages contain certain rules and suggestions concerning health, and certain simple and sensible ways in which it may, we hope, be acquired and maintained at a very small expense of time and self-denial, by a large number of people who are naturally accustomed to feel not very well. The book is founded on notes made by its two authors who, though they lead for the most part very different lives, are agreed on certain broad principles of health herein set forth. ??One of them, for instance, eats largely of flesh-foods every day, the other has scarcely touched meat for years. But both are accustomed to feel extremely well and to undertake considerable exertion either of mind or body without experiencing any fatigue. One of them takes regular exercise, that is to say he plays an out-door game on most days of his life, while the other who abstains from flesh-foods has little practice of the sort. He will take no out-of-door exercise for several days, work very hard, and find himself perfectly fit for some severe physical test at the end. But they are both agreed that if the one abandoned flesh-foods (which he does not propose to do) he would cease to require regular exercise, and that if the other took flesh-foods (which he does not propose to do) he would not only be very ill, but would also require regular exercise. ??One again is seldom seen without some appliance of tobacco in his mouth, because he finds it agreeable and after an experiment of abstinence from it found that it did not make any difference, as far as he could make out, in his general health. The other never smokes at all. One again takes a cold bath in the morning, the other a hot one followed by cold sponging.??But both are absolutely in accord on far more main points than those on which their practice, at any rate, differs, and they have found it perfectly easy to write this book together without wrangling, on which account they wish to express a pious hope that the very fact that they differ in so many things may have saved them from dogmatism. For it has helped them to realize that even when they are agreed on any point it would be a sheer stupidity to hint that they were therefore right, and in consequence they only put forward the points on which they are agreed as suggestions, hoping that others after trial may also agree with them. ??For universal laws on an empirical matter like health are rare, and the constitutions of men are various. One man’s meat, in fact, is literally another man’s poison. But in the main the two authors are agreed. They believe that the majority of mankind habitually eat too much and habitually take too much stimulating food and drink. They believe also that most people who do so do not take enough exercise, and that either an increase of exercise or a decrease of stimulant is needed. ??They believe that the best sorts of exercise are not those of slow pushing movements such as are made in the use of dumb-bells, but full brisk extended movements, with much use of the breathing apparatus and the large muscle areas of the body. Similarly they are in accord as regards present systems of training which tend to treat an entire crew or team as if they were identical specimens, not as widely different specimens; in every day life also they hold that because a certain mode of diet and work suits A, it will not necessarily suit B and C, though B and C might do worse than try it.

n ultimele secole, omenirea a evoluat spectaculos la nivel intelectul i tehnic. Numai c, n planul dezvoltrii emoionale, a rmas cu multe veacuri n urm, susine Fromm. Cum se explic i cum poate fi soluionat acest decalaj socio-istoric dintre minte i inim Fcnd apel la date din istorie, psihologie social i psihanaliz, prezentul volum descrie modul n care destrmarea lumii medievale, cu ierarhiile sale stabile i securizante, a adus lumii occidentale moderne un confort material i o democratizare nesperate, ns cu preul unei anxieti venite din izolarea social, din dezrdcinare. n acest context, fuga de libertate" devine o fals soluie la alienare, prin care omul zilelor noastre e tentat s-i cedeze libertatea unor regimuri autoritariste, care, dei l transform ntr-o marionet, i ofer un sentiment de apartenen i de siguran. Ca antidot la nregimentare i extremism, Fromm mizeaz pe contientizarea resorturilor existenei noastre sociale, proces care ne poate face mai maturi la nivel afectiv i mai autonomi n gndire. Fuga de libertate apare atunci cnd eul se dovedete prea slab - sau prea slbit - pentru a-i mai asuma rspunderea propriilor alegeri, renunnd ca atare la puterea de decizie. Fromm vede n aceast capitulare o trstur inaugural pentru ceea ce el numete caracter autoritar sau sado-masochist. -- Dorin Liviu Btfoi - Romnia literarNumai dac omul va stpni societatea i va subordona angrenajul economic scopurilor fericirii umane, i numai dac va participa activ la procesul social, va putea s nving ceea ce l duce acum la disperare — singurtatea lui i sentimentul de neputin. - Erich Fromm

David Ames Wells (1828-1898), a prominent American financial economist, political activist and apostle of laissez faire, was a staunch advocate of free trade and the abolition of the tariff. "Wells wrote a large number of books, pamphlets, and articles ...His chief interests were the tariff, the theory of money and the currency question, and taxation. His discussion of all of these took character from his inspection of American economic life, which was marked in his period by progressive lowering of costs of production through the application of science.He, more than others, was the expositor of the nature and consequences of the 'machine age' ... Some of his most effective writing was in opposition to fiat money or depreciated monetary standards.An excellent example of his work in this field is his "ROBINSON CRUSOE'S MONEY", issued first in 1876 when resumption was in doubt, and again in 1896 when the 'free silver' advocacy was in full swing. Wells was among the earliest to appreciate the importance of what has since been known as 'technological unemployment,' the displacing of men by machines ...His writing and speaking was marked by simplicity, candor, and extraordinary facility in the popular adaptation of statistics. His aptness in illustration was as charming as it was effective ..."

It is an acknowledged fact that we perceive errors in the work of others more readily than in our own.?—Leonardo da Vinci??In this Beginner's Psychology I have tried to write, as nearly as might be, the kind of book that I should have found useful when I was beginning my own study of psychology. That was nearly thirty years ago; and I read Bain, and the Mills, and Spencer, and Rabier, and as much of Wundt as a struggling acquaintance with German would allow. Curiously enough, it was a paragraph in James Mill, most unpsychological of psychologists, that set me on the introspective track,—though many years had to pass before I properly understood what had put him off it. ??A book like this would have saved me a great deal of labour and vexation of spirit. Nowadays, of course, there are many introductions to psychology, and the beginner has a whole library of text-books to choose from. Still, they are of varying merit; and, what is perhaps more important, their temperamental appeal is diverse.?I do not find it easy to relate this new book to the older Primer,—which will not be further revised. There is change all through; every paragraph has been rewritten. ??The greatest change is, however, a shift of attitude; I now lay less stress than I did upon knowledge and more upon point of view. The beginner in any science is oppressed and sometimes disheartened by the amount he has to learn; so many men have written, and so many are writing; the books say such different things, and the magazine articles are so upsetting!
