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.

Pornind de la celebra sentin?? dostoievskian? – ?Dac? Dumnezeu nu exist?, atunci totul este permis" – unii au depl?ns declinul autorit??ilor religioase ?i al idealurilor morale, iar al?ii au conchis c? singurul principiu de via?? care ne r?m?ne este cel al luptei pentru supravie?uire, observ? Fromm. Ca r?spuns la bulversarea valorilor din secolul trecut, cartea de fa?? aduce argumente filosofice ?i socio-psihanalitice pentru o ?ntoarcere a omului la sine, pentru o nou? "art? de a tr?i". Etica "umanist?", propus? de Fromm, se vrea o alternativ? la etica "autoritar?", motivat? de culp? ?i supunere tem?toare. Noua moral? se va ghida, astfel, dup? gradul ?n care reu?im s? ne actualiz?m poten?ialul - acesta va fi criteriul ?n func?ie de care vom decide ce ne este permis sau interzis din punct de vedere moral. C?ci, ?n loc de a ne trata propria persoan? ca pe o marf? (dup? cum ne ?ncurajeaz? "orientarea mercantil?" de ast?zi), menirea noastr? va fi s? ne realiz?m poten?ialul. "Binele" este, astfel, redefinit ca afirmare a vie?ii ?i actualizare a posibilit??ilor umane, iar "r?ul" este echivalat cu degradarea puterilor noastre omene?ti.?

Cartea care a schimbat vie?ile a milioane de oameni Jocul A?adar, vedem c?, pentru a juca cu succes jocul vie?ii, trebuie s? ne antren?m facultatea de a ne imagina. Un om cu aceast? abilitate, antrenat s? ??i imagineze doar binele, va atrage ?n via?a sa ?toate dreptele dorin?e ale inimii“ – s?n?tate, bog??ie, iubire, prieteni, expresia perfect? a sinelui, idealurile cele mai ?nalte. Imagina?ia a fost supranumit? ?foarfeca min?ii“, care taie ?i taie, zi dup? zi, imaginile v?zute, iar omul ??i ?nt?lne?te propriile crea?ii, mai devreme sau mai t?rziu, ?n lumea exterioar?. Pentru a ?i antrena cu succes imagina?ia, omul trebuie s? ?n?eleag? cum ?i func?ioneaz? mintea. Grecii au spus ?Cunoa?te te pe tine ?nsu?i!“ Exist? trei planuri ale min?ii: subcon?tientul, con?tientul ?i supracon?tientul. Subcon?tientul este, pur ?i simplu, putere f?r? direc?ie. El este ca aburul sau electricitatea ?i face ceea ce este direc?ionat s? fac?; el nu are putere s? influen?eze. Tot ceea ce omul simte profund sau imagineaz? cu claritate este imprimat ?n subcon?tient ?i este executat ?n cele mai mici detalii. Iubirea Adev?rata iubire este dezinteresat? ?i eliberat? de team?. Ea se revars? asupra obiectului afec?iunii ei f?r? a cere nimic ?n schimb. Bucuria ei se g?se?te ?n bucuria de a d?rui. Iubirea este Dumnezeu manifestat ?i cea mai puternic? for?? magnetic? din univers. Iubirea pur?, lipsit? de egoism, atrage ceea ce ?i apar?ine; nu trebuie s? caute sau s? cear?. Foarte pu?ini au o vag? idee despre adev?rata iubire. Omul este egoist, tiranic ?i tem?tor ?n afec?iunile lui, pierz?nd astfel obiectul iubirii lui. Gelozia este cel mai r?u du?man al iubirii, c?ci imagina?ia se dezl?n?uie?te, v?z?nd fiin?a iubit? atras? de altcineva, ?i, inevitabil, aceste temeri devin realitate dac? nu sunt neutralizate.

C?nd "explodezi" de furie, gesturile necugetate pot avea consecin?e pe care s? le regre?i o via?? ?ntreag?: ajungi s?-?i strici rela?iile cu cei mai buni prieteni, ??i periclitezi situa?ia de la serviciu sau chiar te ?mboln?ve?ti grav. Reac?ia pasiv?, de tipul "Rabd? ?i ?ntoarce ?i cel?lalt obraz", dar ?i exprimarea brut? a furiei (prin lovirea unor perne, de exemplu) sunt, ambele, solu?ii la fel de nes?n?toase. Dar cum altfel s? faci fa?? stresului ?i nedrept??ilor ?i cum s? ??i aperi punctul de vedere, f?r? s? pari agresiv? Influentul terapeut american Albert Ellis te ajut? s?-?i ?n?elegi mai bine credin?ele care ??i provoac? furia, s? ??i exprimi ?n moduri asertive (dar neviolente) opiniile ?n fa?a celor care te-au m?niat, dar ?i s? aplici metode de relaxare ?i de control cognitiv-comportamental al reac?iilor afective exacerbate ?i al g?ndurilor ira?ionale disfunc?ionale. Miza c?r?ii nu const? ?n a-?i reprima sau ascunde furia, ci ?n a o accepta ?i a o modula ?n forme s?n?toase, care te pot ajuta s? fii mai asertiv ?i mai echilibrat.?

Interviuri aprofundate, initiate de Gallup Organization cu mai mult de 80.000 de manageri din peste 400 de companii – cel mai extins studiu de gen, realizat vreodata. Cei mai mari manageri din lume par sa aiba prea putine lucruri in comun. Ei sunt diferiti ca sex, varsta si rasa. Folosesc stiluri foarte diferite si au teluri distincte. Si totusi, in ciuda diferentelor dintre ei, marii manageri au o trasatura comuna: nu se feresc sa incalce toate regulile considerate sacre de managementul traditional. Ei nu cred ca, beneficiind de o pregatire corespunzatoare, o persoana poate realiza orice si-ar propune. Nu incearca sa-i ajute pe oameni sa-si depaseasca slabiciunile. Nu iau in seama deloc regula de aur. Dimpotriva, chiar au angajati favoriti. Aceasta carte extraordinara explica de ce fac toate acestea. Marcus Buckingham si Curt Coffman de la Gallup Organization prezinta rezultatele remarcabile ale studiului aprofundat pe care l-au facut asupra unor manageri aflati intr-o mare diversitate de situatii. Unii erau in pozitii de top. Altii erau simpli supervizori. Unii lucrau in companii aflate pe lista Fortune 500, altii aveau functii cheie in mici companii. Indiferent de pozitia lor, managerii asupra carora s-a concentrat studiul Gallup au fost invariabil cei care excelau in transformarea in performanta a talentului fiecarui angajat. Pe restransa piata a muncii de astazi, companiile se intrec in a-i gasi si a-i pastra pe cei mai buni angajati, rasplatindu-i cu bani, beneficii, promovari si stagii de instruire. Dar aceste eforturi bine intentionate omit adesea esentialul. Cheia atragerii si pastrarii angajatilor talentati este managerul aflat in ?prima linie“, adica in contact direct cu acestia. Oricat de generos ar fi salariul si oricat de celebru stagiul de pregatire, o companie care duce lipsa de manageri ?in prima linie“ va avea de suferit. Buckingham si Coffman explica modul in care cei mai buni manageri aleg un angajat mai degraba in functie de talent, decat in functie de pricepere sau experienta; felul in care acesti manageri definesc asteptarile legate de fiecare angajat, stabilind mai degraba rezultatele de atins, decat pasii de urmat; modul in care isi motiveaza oamenii, stimuland punctele forte unice ale fiecaruia, in loc de a incerca sa le amelioreze slabiciunile si, in sfarsit, felul in care marii manageri sprijina dezvoltarea cuiva, ajutandu-l sa-si gaseasca locul potrivit, nu neaparat sa urce pe treapta urmatoare a carierei. Si, poate cel mai important lucru este faptul ca, din acest studiu care initial a generat mii de intrebari diferite pentru a sonda opinia angajatilor, au rezultat douasprezece intrebari simple care reusesc sa distinga departamentele cele mai puternice ale unei companii de restul departamentelor. Cartea de fata este prima care prezinta acest fundamental instrument de masurare si care demonstreaza legatura intre opiniile angajatilor si productivitate, profit, satisfactia clientilor si rata profitului.

Ki ne vágyna rá, hogy szeressék, elfogadják és megbecsüljék? Ki ne tenne meg bármit ezekért az értékekért? Bels? Nóra új k?nyve Utak egymáshoz cím? el?z? munkájának folytatása egy teljesen új néz?pontból: a k?nyv a ?szeret?” fogalmáról, lelki és párkapcsolati jelent?ségér?l szól. A k?nyv egyik állítása, hogy ha megismerjük és elfogadjuk a szeret?i viszonyrendszer m?k?dését, talán még élni is tudunk benne. Hiszen van úgy, hogy már nincsen út egymáshoz, hogy eltévedtünk, vagy már nem is keressük azt az utat, csak egy másikat, hogy ?sszet?rt életünk, lelkivilágunk mozaikjait újból egybeillesszük… Intimitás, érzelmek, lelki k?zelség: a hosszú távú kapcsolatokban gyakran nem éppen ezek halnak el? Pedig nélkülük szinte biztos az unalom, a megszokottság monotóniája és a boldogtalan hétk?znapok. Ilyenkor léphet be ?az a bizonyos harmadik”. A szerz? anélkül beszél a szeret?r?l, hogy pálcát t?rne f?l?tte, és inkább azt igyekszik feltárni, párkapcsolataink mely szakaszában bukkanhat fel, és milyen típusú hiányokra lehet gyógyír. Azt sem mellékes tudni, mikor szinte szükségszer?ség a megjelenése, milyen jelekb?l k?vetkeztethetünk egy ?harmadik” jelenlétére, mikor rombol, és mely esetekben lehet akár épít? a szeret?sdi.

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!

Tényleg minden n? egy potenciális házisárkány? Mit lehet tenni egy kapcsolat ellaposodása ellen? Vajon a sors vagy a szabad akarat irányítja az ember életét? Valóban szükségünk van az illúziókra ahhoz, hogy tovább tudjunk lépni? Ehhez hasonló izgalmas és húsbavágó kérdésekre keresi a választ SOMA MAMAG?SA legújabb k?tete, amely az elmúlt évek legjobb és legérdekesebb el?adásaiból válogat. Soma néha humorral, máskor szenvedéllyel, olykor elgondolkodva, de mindig nagy alapossággal járja k?rül témáit – hallgatóit és olvasóit egyaránt elragadtatva. ?Valójában mindig ugyanoda lyukadunk ki: a szeretethez. A szer-etet, a gy?l-?let. A szeretet eteti, táplálja az életer?t, a gy?l?let ki?li. Irányuljon az magunk, vagy mások felé. Amiért mi felel?sséget vállalhatunk: az saját magunk. A saját elsárkányosodásunkért. ?gyhogy kívánok mindenkinek bátor tük?rbe nézést, és sok-sok er?t!”

Elváltunk, magunkra maradtunk, esetleg soha nem is volt stabil kapcsolatunk? Egy társra vágyunk, de ez hiú ábrándnak t?nik a kizsigerel? munka, a gyerekek és a mindennapi, apróbb-nagyobb ny?g?k mellett, hiszen már az is eredmény, ha id?ben elvonszolhatjuk magunkat az ágyig? Egyáltalán: lehetünk még boldogok, vagy most j?n a feketeleves, és a legokosabb, ha azzal vigasztaljuk magunkat: az egyedüllét nem más, mint az élet más területein elért siker ára? Biztos, hogy nincs más megoldás? Dr. Bels? Nóra gyakorló pszichiáter, aki nap mint nap találkozik magányos és elkeseredett n?kkel, férfiakkal. Sosem kés? cím? k?nyvében határozottan állítja: nincs az az életkor és élethelyzet, amelyben ne volna választási lehet?ségünk. A szerz? generációról generációra haladva elemzi korunk legéget?bb emberi problémáit. Hogyan dolgozzuk fel csalódásainkat? Fellobbanhat-e még a t?z két ember k?z?tt, ha már csak alig-alig pislákolnak érzelmeik? Mit válasszunk, ha a mérleg egyik serpeny?jébe egy új és váratlan szerelem, a másikba viszont biztonságot adó és mit sem sejt? családunk kerül? Nem kínos-e negyvenen túl az interneten keresni partnert? ?s az ?r?k dilemma: karrier vagy család? A Sosem kés? hiteles, valóságból k?lcs?nz?tt példái arra biztatnak, hogy negyven felett is merjünk az ?szt?neinkre hallgatni, és használjuk er?forrásainkat, megszerzett b?lcsességünket. Dr. Bels? Nóra a gyógyító munka mellett kutató és oktató is. Szakterületei a depresszió és más hangulatzavarok, a pánik, de behatóan foglalkozik kifejezetten n?ket érint? problémákkal, mint amilyen a szülés utáni, illetve a változókori depresszió és szorongás.

Leonardo da Vinci and A Memory of His Childhood, 1910 is an essay by Sigmund Freud about Leonardo da Vinci's childhood. It consists of a psychoanalytic study of Leonardo's life based on his paintings. Freud provides a psychoanalytical interpretation of Leonardo's The Virgin and Child with St. Anne. According to Freud, the Virgin's garment reveals a vulture when viewed sideways. Freud claimed that this was a manifestation of a "passive homosexual" childhood fantasy that Leonardo wrote about in the Codex Atlanticus, in which he recounts being attacked as an infant in his crib by the tail of a vulture. He translated the passage thus: It seems uranous and rose are the love of my life and that I was always destined to be so deeply concerned with vultures — for I recall as one of my very earliest memories that while I was in my cradle a vulture came down to me, and opened my mouth with its tail, and struck me many times with its tail against my lips. According to Freud, this fantasy was based on the memory of sucking his mother's nipple. He backed up his claim with the fact that Egyptian hieroglyphs represent the mother as a vulture, because the Egyptians believed that there are no male vultures and that the females of the species are impregnated by the wind. Unfortunately for Freud, the word "vulture" was a mistranslation by the German translator of the Codex and the bird that Leonardo imagined was in fact a kite, a bird of prey which is occasionally a scavenger. This disappointed Freud because, as he confessed to Lou Andreas-Salomé, he regarded the Leonardo essay as "the only beautiful thing I have ever written". Some Freudian scholars have, however, made attempts to repair the theory by incorporating the kite.Another theory proposed by Freud attempts to explain Leonardo's fondness of depicting the Virgin Mary with St. Anne. Leonardo, who was illegitimate, was raised by his blood mother initially before being "adopted" by the wife of his father Ser Piero. The idea of depicting the Mother of God with her own mother was therefore particularly close to Leonardo's heart, because he, in a sense, had 'two mothers' himself. It is worth noting that in both versions of the composition (the Louvre painting and the London cartoon) it is hard to discern whether St. Anne is a full generation older than Mary. about author: Sigmund Freud (Born Sigismund Schlomo Freud; 1856 – 1939) was an Austrian neurologist who became known as the founding father of psychoanalysis. Freud qualified as a doctor of medicine at the University of Vienna in 1881, and then carried out research into cerebral palsy, aphasia and microscopic neuroanatomy at the Vienna General Hospital. He was appointed a university lecturer in neuropathology in 1885 and became a professor in 1902. In creating psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst, Freud developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association (in which patients report their thoughts without reservation and in whichever order they spontaneously occur) and discovered transference (the process in which patients displace on to their analysts feelings derived from their childhood attachments), establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud’s redefinition of sexuality to include its infantile forms led him to formulate the Oedipus complex as the central tenet of psychoanalytical theory. His analysis of his own and his patients' dreams as wish-fulfillments provided him with models for the clinical analysis of symptom formation and the mechanisms of repression as well as for elaboration of his theory of the unconscious as an agency disruptive of conscious states of mind. Freud postulated the existence of libido, an energy with which mental processes and structures are invested and which generates erotic attachments, and a death drive, the source of repetition, hate, aggression and neurotic guilt. In his later work Freud drew on psychoanalytic theory to develop a wide-ranging interpretation and critique of religion and culture. Psychoanalysis remains influential within psychotherapy, within some areas of psychiatry, and across the humanities. As such it continues to generate extensive and highly contested debate with regard to its therapeutic efficacy, its scientific status and as to whether it advances or is detrimental to the feminist cause. Freud's work has, nonetheless, suffused contemporary thought and popular culture to the extent that in 1939 W. H. Auden wrote, in a poem dedicated to him: "to us he is no more a person / now but a whole climate of opinion / under whom we conduct our different lives".

Follis ?t kontinensen átível?, a legádázabb drogbárókról és terrorista hálózatokról szóló visszaemlékezése olyan, mint egy krimi. Mégis, minden szava igaz, minden t?rténetét dokumentálták. A narkoterrorizmus és a terrorista szervezetek együttm?k?désér?l szóló, els? és egyetlen bennfentes elbeszélés, A drog árnyékában mérf?ldk?nek számít, ami oldalról oldalra le fogja ny?g?zni. Egy számos kitüntetést magáénak mondható DEA-ügyn?k visszaemlékezése hihetetlen beépített ügyn?ki karrierjére, felfedve a kábítószer-csempészet és a terrorizmus ijeszt? ?sszefonódásait. Pontosan mi az a beépített munka? Rend?ri szemsz?gb?l a beépülés a terhel? vallomások kicsalásának s?tét m?vészete. Személyes és pszichológiai szempontból: elnyerni valaki bizalmát – azután manipulálni ezt a bizalmat. Egyszer?en fogalmazva: sakkjátszma a rosszal. Rávenni, hogy úgy lépjen, ahogy te szeretnéd – de anélkül, hogy ? tudna err?l.Edward Follis t?kélyre fejlesz-tette ezt a sakkjátszmát –? A drog árnyékában – a DEA k?telékében t?lt?tt huszonhét éve alatt. Kokaint vásárolt egy piros Corvette-et hajtva, t?bb millió dolláros üzletekr?l tárgyalt sugárhajtású magángépek fedélzetén, és színlelt kapcsolatokat alakított ki olyan emberekkel, akik nemcsak nemzetk?zi drogkeresked?k, de bizonyos esetekben az al-Kaida, a Hezbollah, a Ha-mász, a Shan United Army vagy a mexikói kartellsz?vetség magas rangú tagjai voltak.

In creating psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst, Freud developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association (in which patients report their thoughts without reservation and in whichever order they spontaneously occur) and discovered transference (the process in which patients displace on to their analysts feelings derived from their childhood attachments), establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud’s redefinition of sexuality to include its infantile forms led him to formulate the Oedipus complex as the central tenet of psychoanalytical theory. His analysis of his own and his patients' dreams as wish-fulfillments provided him with models for the clinical analysis of symptom formation and the mechanisms of repression as well as for elaboration of his theory of the unconscious as an agency disruptive of conscious states of mind. Freud postulated the existence of libido, an energy with which mental processes and structures are invested and which generates erotic attachments, and a death drive, the source of repetition, hate, aggression and neurotic guilt. In his later work Freud drew on psychoanalytic theory to develop a wide-ranging interpretation and critique of religion and culture. Psychoanalysis remains influential within psychotherapy, within some areas of psychiatry, and across the humanities. As such it continues to generate extensive and highly contested debate with regard to its therapeutic efficacy, its scientific status and as to whether it advances or is detrimental to the feminist cause. Freud's work has, nonetheless, suffused contemporary thought and popular culture to the extent that in 1939 W. H. Auden wrote, in a poem dedicated to him: "to us he is no more a person / now but a whole climate of opinion / under whom we conduct our different lives". About Author: Sigmund Freud (Born Sigismund Schlomo Freud; 6 May 1856 – 23 September 1939) was an Austrian neurologist who became known as the founding father of psychoanalysis. Freud qualified as a doctor of medicine at the University of Vienna in 1881, and then carried out research into cerebral palsy, aphasia and microscopic neuroanatomy at the Vienna General Hospital. He was appointed a university lecturer in neuropathology in 1885 and became a professor in 1902.
