There was once a merchant, who was very, very rich. He had six children, three boys and three girls, and as he was a man of good sense, he spared no expense in order that they might be well educated, and gave them masters of every kind. His daughters were all beautiful, but his youngest one was especially admired, and from the time she was a small child, had been only known and spoken of as Beauty.

Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy by a coalition of Greek states, the Iliad tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles.

A dialogue between a Young Man and an Old Man regarding the nature of man. It involves ideas of destiny and free will, as well as of psychological egoism. The Old Man asserts that the human being is merely a machine, and nothing more. The Young Man objects, and asks him to go into particulars and furnish his reasons for his position.

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.

Collected by the author over many years, these stories from the Yoga and Zen traditions are the flint and steel that strike a spark that lights up the mind with insights that one should ponder daily to bring to light ever deeper meaning. They may be similar in intent to Zen Koans – but they are rather different in content. In many Zen Koans someone says or does something extraordinarily inappropriate, which catches your attention just because it’s extraordinary –but afterwards the light from them has to be applied to daily life. In contrast, the stories here are often ordinary incidents from ordinary lives (not that there aren’t some extraordinary ones too!) that nevertheless open the mind’s eye to the vast potential for realization and inspiration to be found in daily life. The pictures featured throughout this book were brushed by Jacques Allais in the Suiboku style, in which he was an acknowledged expert. The innate beauty of this ancient monochrome ink-painting technique lies in its subtlety of expression, in which infinitely more is suggested than is drawn on the page – making it the perfect vehicle for focusing meditation practice as well as an ideal complement to the stories in this book.

In this series of commentaries J. Krishnamurti, one of the great thinkers of our time, touches upon many human problems—ourhopes, our fears, our illusions, our beliefs, our prejudices—and in the simplest language seems to pierce to their roots.“The sheer simplicity is breathtaking. The reader is given, in one paragraph, often in one sentence, enough to keep him exploring, questioning, thinking for days.” –Anne Morrow Lindbergh.“The insight, spiritual and poetic, of these commentaries is as simply expressed as it is searching in its demand.” –Times Literary Supplement (London).“Krishnamurti is no other than he seems, a free man, one of the first quality, growing older as diamonds do but the gem-like flame not dating, and alive in these Commentaries. It is a treasure.” –Francis Hacket, The New Republic. J. Krishnamurti was born in South India and educated in England.Hailed by many from early youth as a spiritual teacher, he rejected adulation and leadership in order to encourage spiritual freedom and understanding. He devoted his life to speaking and counseling, traveling in the U.S.A., Europe, India and other parts of the world, addressing thousands of people, always pointing the way to individual discovery of truth.These Commentaries on Living are published in three volumes:First, Second, and Third Series.

Ce livre n'est pas un nouvel ouvrage de l'auteur. Il regroupe et réunit ses deux guides pratiques, actualisés, sur la mise en ?uvre du magnétisme curatif et l'usage du pendule, publiés séparément en juin 2015 (Magnétiser, un acte d'amour) et en décembre 2016 (Le pendule, un fil de l'?me).??L'auteur s'est initié seul à ces deux méthodes qu'il utilise conjointement. Le pendule intervient comme un assistant, un "conseiller" sur la zone de souffrance à traiter et le geste à faire.

Jeffrey Kluger a crescut ?ntr-o familie al?turi de al?i trei fra?i b?ie?i. De asemenea, mai are doi fra?i vitregi gemeni, dintr-o a doua c?snicie a tat?lui s?u – o fat? ?i un b?iat.Plec?nd de la experien?a personal?, autorul exploreaz?, cu ?n?elegere ?i umor, lumea complex? a fra?ilor din mai multe puncte de vedere: ?tiin?ific, psihologic, sociologic ?i memorialistic. El este de p?rere c? nimeni nu ne afecteaz? la fel de profund ca fra?ii ?i surorile noastre – nici p?rin?ii, nici copiii, nici prietenii no?tri. Din momentul ?n care ne na?tem, fra?ii sunt colaboratorii no?tri ?i cei cu care conspir?m, modelele noastre ?i cei de la care avem cele mai multe lucruri de ?nv??at. Ei ne ?nva?? cum s? ne rezolv?m conflictele, cum s? ne facem prieteni ?i cum s? st?m departe de necazuri. Fra?ii no?tri sunt singurele persoane pe care le cunoa?tem care se calific? ?ntr-adev?r ca parteneri de via??.Printre subiectele pe care autorul le examineaz? ?n aceast? carte se num?r?: conflictele ?ntre fra?i ?i rezolvarea lor; ordinea na?terii ?i influen?a acesteia asupra evolu?iei ulterioare a fra?ilor; consecin?ele pe care faptul de a fi favoritul unuia dintre p?rin?i le are asupra celorlal?i fra?i; urm?rile pe care divor?ul p?rin?ilor le are asupra copiilor, care fie trebuie s? locuiasc? cu un singur p?rinte, fie sunt nevoi?i s? tr?iasc? ?n cadrul unei familii noi, l?rgite; conceptul de alloparenting (ajutorul dat de fra?ii mai mari la cre?terea fra?ilor mai mici); drogurile, consumul de alcool ?i sarcina la adolescen??; studiile care au ca subiect gemenii ?i copiii unici (d?nd ca exemplu politica na?ional? a copilului unic din China); codificarea genetic? a tr?s?turilor comportamentale; tulbur?rile emo?ionale ?i efectele lor asupra rela?iilor fraterne; evolu?ia ?n timp a leg?turilor fraterne ?i multe altele.

De ce devii psihiatru/psiholog/psihoterapeut? De ce s? vrei s? aju?i oamenii s? dep??easc? problemele vie?ii ?i s? se cunoasc? pe sine? Ce se ?nt?mpl? ?n mintea celui chemat s? te asculte ?i s? te accepte necondi?ionat? Rolurile se inverseaz? acum ?i ascult?torul este invitat s? se dest?inuie. Pe parcursul a 22 de confesiuni reunite ?n acest volum de cunoscutul psihiatru Christophe André, medicii ?i psihologii ??i ?mp?rt??esc experien?e personale ?i profesionale ce i-au adus sau i-au f?cut s? persiste pe acest drum, o cale, printre altele, de reg?sire de sine ?i de autod?ruire. Confesiunile ?nc?nt? prin stilul propriu al fiec?rui autor, prin anecdotica antrenant?, prin posibilitatea rar? de a p?trunde "?n culise", acolo unde fiecare ??i preg?te?te ?nt?lnirea mereu singular? cu pacientul din fa?a sa. Cartea se dore?te a fi o inspira?ie pentru cei afla?i ?n c?utarea echilibrului interior sau ?naintea unei alegeri profesionale, fiind totodat? o lectur? pl?cut? ?i incitant?.

La ce v?rst? pot s?-i d?ruiesc celui mic o tablet?? Peste c??i ani va avea nevoie de un telefon mobil? Jocurile video ?l agit? ?i-l fac oare "dependent" pe b?iatul meu? Ce fel de fotografii poate afi?a pe internet fiica mea adolescent? ?i cu cine se poate "?mprieteni" pe Facebook? Specializat? ?n psihiatria copilului ?i mam? a trei b?ie?i, Jodi Gold puncteaz?, pe un ton echilibrat, at?t beneficiile educa?ionale ?i cognitive ale tehnologiilor digitale, c?t ?i numeroasele capcane. Astfel, p?rin?ii noii genera?ii de "copii digitali" vor afla ce aplica?ii ?i jocuri ?ncurajeaz? creativitatea ?i inteligen?a copilului sau adolescentului, dar ?i ce limite trebuie impuse (ca durat?, dar ?i la nivel de con?inut), pentru a evita h?r?uirea online, refugierea nes?n?toas? ?n lumea vitual? ori dezinteresul pentru ?coal? ?i rela?iile sociale din real?.

Un pu?ti de-o ?chioap? se arunc? pe jos ?n mijlocul magazinului; un elev de gimnaziu se plimb? prin clas? ?n mijlocul orei; un adolescent r?zg?iat ?n-are chef" s? ?nve?e nicio meserie. P?rin?ilor, profesorilor sau chiar angajatorilor, peisajul le este deja familiar. Cum se face c? ace?ti copii au ajuns s?-i joace pe degete pe adul?i ?i s? nu mai respecte nicio autoritate? Michael Winterhoff, psihiatru de copii, explic? ?n ce fel abdicarea de la reperele educa?ionale tradi?ionale, dar ?i ?ncurajarea unei rela?ii de ?parteneriat" (de negociere) ?ntre p?rin?i ?i copii a dus la situa?ia ?n care copiii sunt complet lipsi?i de acele oglindiri, limit?ri ?i ?ndrum?ri vitale pentru a deprinde autocontrolul ?i a cre?te nu doar fizic, ci ?i emo?ional. Discut?nd tendin?a p?rin?ilor de a-?i proiecta ne?mplinirile ?n via?a copilului, cartea ne reconduce la r?d?cinile parentajului: copiii trebuie s? redevin? copii, iar p?rin?ii trebuie s? redevin? educatorii grijulii, dar fermi, de care copiii au nevoie pentru o dezvoltare armonioas?.

Manualul de psihiatrie social? ?i psihoterapiereprezint? o ini?iativ? singular? ?n peisajul publica?iilor de specialitate din Rom?nia, de tratare exhaustiv? a unui domeniu pu?in explorat. Inten?ia declarat? a autorilor este introducerea unui limbaj obiectiv, dar totodat? accesibil, pe ?n?elesul tuturor, care s? deschid? calea unei comunic?ri reale ?ntre profesioni?ti ?i cei afecta?i de boala psihic?. Folosind termeni mai pu?in uzuali ?n limbajul de specialitate – confruntare, peisaj, atitudine fundamental? –, cartea introduce cititorului rom?n no?iunea de psihiatrie social?, ?n care ?cel?lalt“, a?a cum este denumit ?n carte cel suferind de o boal? psihic?, este considerat egalul celui s?n?tos ?i tratat ca atare.Manualul vine ?n ?nt?mpinarea cititorului care studiaz? pentru examenul de psihiatrie sau psihoterapie, indiferent de specializarea aleas? (asistent medical, medic, psiholog, nutri?ionist, ergoterapeut, kinetoterapeut). Totodat?, el se adreseaz? lucr?torilor ?n psihiatrie, precum ?i tuturor celor care au avut experien?e psihiatrice, fie ca pacien?i, fie ca apar?in?tori.??n psihiatria social?, accentul se pune pe confruntarea uman? cu omul bolnav psihic, adic? ?cel?lalt?, a?a cum este numit at?t de des ?n carte. Eu pot recunoa?te ?n cel?lalt un egal. El este, ?n pofida alterit??ii, un om deosebit de normal, la fel ca mine. Pot recunoa?te ?ns? ?i caracterul diferit, str?in, pe care abia dac? ?l ?n?eleg sau nu ?l ?n?eleg deloc, ?i care ?mi indic? ?n mod clar o diferen?? fa?? de cel?lalt. ?n psihiatria social? este ?ntotdeauna vorba despre proiectarea acestei rela?ii complexe, despre completitudinea percep?iei mele ?n ceea ce ?l prive?te pe cel?lalt, despre aten?ia fa?? de el ?i despre propria-mi disponibilitate pentru nou, pentru nea?teptat. Ideea este de a ?nv??a continuu.“
