For 7 to 9-year-old boys and girls. False pride makes a child feel so important that they would rather do something wrong than admit they have made a mistake. Could pride be playing a part in your child’s negative behaviour? Billy Field says something nasty to his best friend Ant Turner, and they row. Ant goes off and makes a new friend, leaving Billy feeling angry and abandoned. Billy’s pride will not let him apologise to Ant until things get out of hand. Is Billy the sort of person to have as a friend? Will it be possible for Billy and Ant to be mates again? Can they overcome their differences? Billy And Ant Fall Out is the second title in the Billy Growing Up series. Each book addresses a unique topic—bullying, arrogant pride, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Written to help parents, guardians and teachers deal with the issues that challenge pre-teen children; each topic is presented in a gentle way through storytelling. Setting the issues in a meaningful context helps children to understand the challenges, and to see things from a different perspective. The books act as icebreakers allowing for discussions of difficult subjects. Additionally, each title is supported by a free activity book to reinforce the learning, while having fun. Buying this book today will support your child in dealing with arrogant pride—a negative and unhelpful emotion.

Once upon a time there was a king and a queen, who were very sorry that they had no children, so sorry that it cannot be told. At last, however, the Queen had a daughter. There was a very fine christening; and the Princess had for her godmothers all the fairies they could find in the whole kingdom (there were seven of them), so that every one of them might confer a gift upon her, as was the custom of fairies in those days. By this means the Princess had all the perfections imaginable.

Once upon a time, long, long ago, there were two brothers, the one rich and the other poor. When Christmas Eve came, the poor one had not a bite in the house, either of meat or bread; so he went to his brother, and begged him, in God’s name, to give him something for Christmas Day. It was by no means the first time that the brother had been forced to give something to him...

The youngish-looking man who so vigorously swung off the train at Restview, wore a pair of intensely dark blue eyes which immediately photographed everything within their range of vision—flat green country, shaded farm-houses, encircling wooded hills and all—weighed it and sorted it and filed it away for future reference; and his clothes clung on him with almost that enviable fit found only in advertisements. Immediately he threw his luggage into the tonneau of the dingy automobile drawn up at the side of the lonely platform, and promptly climbed in after it. Spurred into purely mechanical action by this silent decisiveness, the driver, a grizzled graduate from a hay wagon, and a born grump, as promptly and as silently started his machine. The crisp and perfect start, however, was given check by a peremptory voice from the platform.

Inteligen?a nu e ce crezi ?n primul r?nd, trebuie s? ?tii c? intelectualitatea nu e inteligen??. A fi intelectual ?nseamn? a fi fals; intelectualitatea este inteligen?? simulat?. Ea nu este real? din cauz? c? nu e a ta, e ?mprumutat?. Inteligen?a este dezvoltarea con?tiin?ei interne. Ea nu are nici o leg?tur? cu cuno?tin?ele, are leg?tur? cu medita?ia. Un om inteligent nu ac?ioneaz? pe baza experien?ei trecute; el ac?ioneaz? ?n prezent, ?n func?ie de condi?iile prezente. El nu reac?ioneaz?, ci r?spunde. De aceea, este ?ntotdeauna imprevizibil; niciodat? nu po?i fi sigur ce urmeaz? s? fac?.

Cum s? trece?i cu bine (am?ndoi) prin urm?toarele 9 luni Cartea ?l ?nva?? pe viitorul t?tic cum s? se concentreze pe ceea ce poate s? fac? pentru a-i fi de ajutor mamei copilului s?u, nu pe transform?rile prin care trece ea ?n timpul sarcinii. Exist? cel pu?in 3.712 modalit??i ?n care viitorul t?tic poate da gre? ?n timp ce partenera sa este ?ns?rcinat?. Din fericire, explica?iile ?i sfaturile lui John Pfeiffer ?l pot ajuta s? le evite (aproape) pe toate. Pornind de la propria experien??, autorul aduce ?n discu?ie numeroasele evenimente care se petrec de la primul test pozitiv de sarcin? p?n? la apari?ia noului membru al familiei. Sfaturile oferite de Pfeiffer, adresate pe un ton prietenos, marcate de umor ?i bun?-dispozi?ie, vor face ca aceast? perioad? s? treac? u?or, consolid?nd rela?ia dintre proaspe?ii p?rin?i. ?n plus, t?ticul prime?te garan?ia c? nu va fi l?sat pe dinafar? la apari?ia juniorului. Cartea cuprinde: - 10 capitole despre sarcin? ?i na?tere, ?ncep?nd cu episodul concep?iei ?i termin?nd cu momentul triumf?tor al aducerii bebelu?ului acas? - Informa?ii despre gre?urile matinale ?i vizitele la doctor, sfaturi pentru amenajarea camerei copilului, preg?tirea bagajului pentru spital, alegerea unui nume pentru bebelu?, alegerea doctorului ?i a spitalului ?n care va avea loc na?terea - O sec?iune special? pentru viitoarele m?mici, cu m?rturisiri pe care t?ticii evit? uneori s? le comunice direct partenerelor ?ns?rcinate - O agend? cu povestea unei na?teri reale

Dragostea ?i via?a sunt eterne?Cartea de fa?? prezint? dovezi care ar putea zgudui din temelii bazele ?nv???turilor ?tiin?ifice. Dr. Gary E. Schwartz ?i partenera sa de cercetare, dr. Linda G. Russek, au avut curajul s?-?i ri?te reputa?ia interna?ional? ?i le-au cerut unora dintre cele mai cunoscute mediumuri din America, printre care John Edward, Suzane Northrop ?i George Anderson, s? participe la o serie de experimente extraordinare pentru a confirma sau infirma existen?a vie?ii de dup? moarte.Cititorul este pus ?n fa?a unor dovezi ?tiin?ifice uluitoare, care atest? contactul cu lumea de dincolo ?n condi?ii controlate de laborator. ?n cadrul unor experimente monitorizate cu cea mai mare stricte?e, mediumurile au ?ncercat s? contacteze prietenii ?i rudele subiec?ilor care nu ?i-au dezv?luit identitatea ?i au p?strat t?cerea pe parcursul experimentelor. Mesajele transmise i-au surprins at?t pe subiec?i, c?t ?i pe cercet?tori. Datele pozitive cov?r?itoare l-au convins pe autor s? renun?e la pozi?ia lui de sceptic ?i s? ??i prezinte concluziile ?n aceast? carte captivant?.

A modern ember tragédiája, hogy rohamosan távolodik attól az optimális életmódtól, amelyre az evolúció ?tervezte”. E folyamat egyik lényeges velejárója, hogy házakba és légkondicionált irodákba bújtunk a nap el?l. Márpedig napozás és fény nélkül D-vitamin sem termel?dik az emberi szervezetben, holott erre a speciális hormonra szervezetünk minden sejtjének nagy szüksége volna. SZENDI G?BOR új k?nyvében rámutat: a civilizált világ nagyvárosokba koncentrálódott népessége folyamatos D-vitamin-hiányban szenved, és ez az egyik f? oka a rák, az autoimmun betegségek, a légúti és idegrendszeri megbetegedések, valamint számos más civilizációs betegség rohamos terjedésének. Szendi ?sszefoglalja mindazt, amit a haladó szellem? tudomány eddig megismert a napfény, a D-vitamin és a civilizációs betegségek kapcsolatáról. Rámutat arra, hogy az ember az evolúció során évmilliókig a napon élt, ezért szervezete igen magas D-vitamin-szinthez alkalmazkodott. A szerz? állítja: az egészség megfelel? életmód, nem pedig megfelel? orvosi kezelés kérdése. A nyugati orvoslás csak árral szemben úszik, amikor arra t?rekszik, hogy némileg javítson a népesség egyre romló egészségi állapotán, mik?zben – tudomást sem véve a kutatás utóbbi harminc évének eredményeir?l – a D-vitamin túladagolásával riogat, és óva int a napozástól. Ne feledjük azonban: vitaminhiányt csak vitaminbevitellel lehet megszüntetni. Az egészség bármennyit megér – szokták mondani. Ehhez képest a napfény ingyen van, a D-vitamin pedig filléres tétel. ?m amíg erre nem ébred rá a hivatalos orvoslás, addig nem tehetünk mást, mint hogy a saját kezünkbe vesszük egészségünk védelmét. Ebben segít Szendi Gábor legújabb k?nyve, amely forradalmian új információkat nyújt minden egészségtudatos és gyógyulni vágyó embernek, leend? gyermeke egészségéért aggódó anyának.

Vajon mennyire meghatározóak nemi szerepeink a mindennapi érintkezések során? Mik a kiegyensúlyozott és ?r?mteli párkapcsolatok kialakulásának alapk?vei? Mit?l tud hatékonyan m?k?dni a kommunikáció két ember k?z?tt? Napjainkban az emberi kapcsolatok – amelyek talán a legfontosabb er?forrást jelentik az életünkben – mind gyakrabban mondanak cs?d?t… A válások száma folyamatosan n?, és a hosszú távú párkapcsolatok m?k?dtetésébe is sokan buknak bele. BELS? N?RA k?nyve alaposan, ugyanakkor kell? érzékenységgel járja k?rül a témát, és rámutat: a legt?bb embernek az érzelmi kapcsolatok kezelése jelenti a f? problémát. Férfiak és n?k élnek egymás mellett, gyermekeik vannak, dolgoznak, pénzt keresnek – de nem képesek egymásra odafigyelni, nem érzik és nem értik egymást. A rossz kérdések rossz válaszokat szülnek, és ezt gyakran már ?k maguk sem veszik észre. A szerz? kérdésfelvetései, gondolatai, pszichiátriai praxisából hozott, vagy épp személyes, bens?séges t?rténetei, illetve a hétk?znapi társas helyzeteket elemz? sorai új megvilágításba helyezik a generációkon átível? problémákat, és mindenkinek segítenek eligazodni a párkapcsolati érintkezés útveszt?iben.

Cnd a constatat, pe baza identitii structurale ntre simptomul nevrotic, pe de o parte, i vis, act ratat, cuvnt de spirit, produse culturale, pe de alt parte, c ntre normal i patologic exist doar o deosebire de grad, i nu una de natur, Freud a trecut de la psihopatologie la psihologie. Psihanaliza, ca psihologie, este o psihologie a incontientului. Spre deosebire de psihologia contiinei, care studiaz fenomenele psihice contiente (sau accesibile n mod direct contiinei), psihologia incontientului cerceteaz acele fenomene psihice accesibile contiinei doar indirect, prin intermediul interpretrii de tip psihanalitic. Descoperirea incontientului psihic a revoluionat nu numai psihologia, ci i celelalte tiine ale omului: filosofia, antropologia, sociologia, estetica etc. Dac ar fi s formulez n puine cuvinte i ntr-un mod sugestiv esena psihologiei incontientului, a spune c ea const n ideea c i oamenii sntoi, nu numai nevroticii, au incontient. Iar incontientul oamenilor sntoi are aceleai coninuturi ca i incontientul nevroticilor. Diferena e doar de grad. Orict ar prea de surprinztor, psihanaliza nu este, aa cum ne-am obinuit s o gndim, un domeniu nestructurat interior, ci un adevrat sistem de discipline. Disciplinele psihanalitice – psihoterapia, psihopatologia, psihologia, metapsihologia i psihanaliza aplicat – se afl n relaii cronologice i logice. Din punct de vedere cronologic, prima a fost psihoterapia psihanalitic. Teoretizarea experienei psihoterapeutice a condus la constituirea psihopatologiei psihanalitice, care a stat la baza psihologiei psihanalitice. Pe temeiul acesteia s-au cldit metapsihologia i psihanaliza aplicat. Structura de rezisten a acestei cldiri multietajate o formeaz ideea de incontient. Parcurgerea celor optsprezece volume ale operelor complete a lui Jung mi-a prilejuit constatarea, surprinztoare la prima vedere, c exist mai multe tipuri de arhetipuri, dac folosim drept criteriu definiia arhetipului cu care Jung opereaz de-a lungul ntregii sale opere, i anume de pattern of behaviour, de for interioar de ordinul instinctului, cu valene spirituale. Arhetipurile care corespund acestei definiii i pe care le-am numit tipice descriu ntr-adevr o experien a speciei transmis ereditar. Din categoria arhetipurilor tipice fac parte: arhetipul matern, arhetipul patern, arhetipul infans, anima, animus, arhetipul renaterii, comunismul ca arhetip, arhetipurile regionale sau etnice, de tipul arhetipului germanilor (Wotan), cristalizare i transmitere a unei experiene colective de ordin general, nu universal.“ – Vasile Dem. Zamfirescu

C?nd ne compar?m prea des cu ceilal?i, c?nd suntem ?nseta?i de posesii ?i faim?, ?n?ep?tura invidiei sau mu?c?tura geloziei ne va ?ncerca inevitabil. ?i, cum tinde s? neg?m sau s? proiect?m asupra altora aceste sentimente, ele nu vor disp?rea, ci ne vor "roade" pe din?untru, diminu?ndu-ne stima de sine. Reputata psihoterapeut? jungian? Verena Kast demonstreaz? ?n ce fel, atunci c?nd ne min?im ?i refuz?m s? admitem aceste sentimente negative, pierdem ?ansa dezvolt?rii personale ?i ne cufund?m ?n ranchiun? sau ?n false ra?ionaliz?ri ale neputin?elor noastre. Devenind, ?n schimb, con?tien?i de invidia ?i gelozia ce ne pot b?ntui uneori, vom g?si c?ile spre a st?p?ni aceste sentimente: fie ne vom angaja ?ntr-o competi?ie constructiv?, fie ne vom asuma anumite limite ?i ne vom descoperi noi poten?ialit??i, prin care s? ne diferen?iem de ceilal?i. Odat? elibera?i de sindromul "caprei vecinului", ni se va deschide calea s?n?toas? spre noi rela?ii, spre solidaritate, spre "a fi" ?n loc de "a avea".

Nebunia fascineaz? ?i ?ngroze?te ?n aceea?i m?sur?, oferindu-ne imaginea unui celuilalt complet diferit de noi. Dar ce marcheaz? diferen?a dintre omul s?n?tos ?i omul nebun? Poate deveni vreodat? un om s?n?tos, nebun?C?ut?nd s? p?trund? dincolo de suprafa??, dincolo de aparentele bizarerii de comportament ale nebunului, Darian Leader ofer? simptomelor o nou? semnifica?ie, capabil? s? zguduie din temelii paradigma contemporan? asupra bolii psihice. Teoria sa, prezentat? ?ntr-un limbaj accesibil cititorului profan, este exemplificat? prin reinterpretarea unor celebre cazuri clinice sau judiciare, precum Omul cu lupi. Ce este nebunia? se adreseaz? deopotriv? speciali?tilor ?i publicului larg, reu?ind s? dea r?spunsuri dar ?i s? lanseze ?ntreb?ri.Ce ne facem cu insul care-?i vede lini?tit de via?? ?i de familie, ani de-a r?ndul, p?n? ?ntr-o bun? zi c?nd se duce la slujb?, ??i face impecabil datoria, dup? care iese ?ntr-un loc public, scoate o arm? ?i ?mpu?c? un personaj cunoscut de toat? lumea? ?n comportamentul lui nu se poate observa nimic anormal, p?n? ?n clipa tragediei. Se prea poate s? fi fost chiar un cet??ean-model, responsabil, respectabil ?i cu un comportament lini?tit. Dar, ?n clipele dinaintea actului s?u criminal, chiar se poate spune c? n-ar fi fost nebun? – Darian Leader... nebunia nu va fi niciodat? reductibil? la simptome exterioare, care atrag aten?ia. G?ndirea nu este v?zut? aici ca tulburat?, ci urm?nd un gen de rigoare care, de fapt ?i de drept, s-ar putea s? nu fie de g?sit la individul ?s?n?tos". Diagnosticul nu se poate pune pe baza unei clasific?ri a comportamentului exterior, ci numai ascult?nd ce are de spus persoana ?n cauz? despre ce s-a ?nt?mplat ?n via?a ei, lu?nd ?n serios pozi?ia pe care o adopt? ?n propriul discurs, logica pe care ?i-a construit-o singur?. - Darian Leader
