Naomi Moriyama s-a hot?r?t s? descopere secretele acestui succes. C?l?torind ?mpreun? cu b?iatul ei mic, Naomi a intervievat oameni de ?tiin?? din Japonia ?i SUA ?i a cules informa?ii de la m?micile japoneze.A rezultat un ghid revolu?ionar ?i cu o mare valoare practic?, sfaturile oferite ajut?nd la adoptarea unor obi?nuin?e alimentare ?i a unui stil de via?? care ?i vor ajuta pe p?rin?i s? ob?in? rezultatele dorite ?n cre?terea copiilor. ?Recomand?rile sunt logice, u?or de pus ?n practic? ?i bazate pe ?tiin??, intui?ie ?i tradi?ie. Sunt ?n concordan?? cu convingerea mea c? este nevoie s? ne ?ntoarcem la legile fundamentale ale s?n?t??ii, care ne ?ndeamn? s? dormim bine, s? m?nc?m ce ?i c?t trebuie, s? facem mi?care ?i s? evit?m toxinele." - Prof. Mark Tremblay, Spitalul pentru copii din Ontario, Canada?Rodul unei document?ri meticuloase, aceast? carte fascinant? ??i merit? locul ?n biblioteca oric?rui p?rinte." - Dr Lucy Cooke, cercet?tor principal ?n cadrul Facult??ii de Epidemiologie ?i S?n?tate Public?, University College, Londra

Nu exist?, probabil, om ?n aceast? lume, care s? nu fi ra?ionat m?car o dat? la ve?nicele ?ntreb?ri de func?ionare a lumii. Dualitatea lumii, aceast? ve?nic? lupt? dintre Bine ?i R?u, Adev?rul care se risipe?te, triumfarea mitic? a Drept??ii... De c?te ori, fiecare dintre noi, a zis cu voce tare sau ?n g?nd fraze sacramentale, ca de exemplu: ?La ce bun ?mi trebuie mie asta?“, ?E nedrept!“. De c?te ori am auzit ?nt?mpl?ri teribile, am fost martori ai unor adev?rate tragedii ?i am ?n?eles lesne c? pedepsele cere?ti nu pogoar? asupra oamenilor chiar pe nemeritate.

Baz?ndu-se pe vaste cuno?tin?e de mitologie ?i folclor, dar mai cu seam? pe dezvolt?rile analizei jungiene, autoarea explic? felul ?n care imaginile ?n nisip contribuie la autoreglarea psihicului, iar interpretarea simbolurilor spa?iale ajut? la clarificarea ?i dep??irea blocajelor interioare. La fel ca pictura, analiza viselor sau imagina?ia activ?, modelarea ?n nisip are meritul de a aduce ?ntr-un spa?iu imaginar procese incon?tiente ?i emo?ii nespuse, care sunt mult mai greu de accesat ?n urma unei simple ?cure prin vorbire“.

Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909) tudós elmeorvos. Már korán a pszichiátria tudománya felé fordult. Volt elmegyógyintézetek vezet?je, b?rt?norvos, igazságügyi orvosszakért?k, munkája során vizsgálta a b?n?z?i hajlam kérdését. Lángész és ?rültség cím? k?nyve óriási felt?nést és jelent?s visszhangot keltett az egész világon. M?vében sok olyan témát érint, amelyekre talán még ma sem igazán tudjuk a helyes és végleges választ. Lehetséges, hogy azért nem, mert igazán ma sem ismerjük az idegrendszer és az agy m?k?dését. Miként lehetséges, hogy a k?znapi ember olykor-olykor maga is ráismer a lángész vagy az ?rült viselkedésének, reagálásának egy-egy mozzanatára. Mindannyian zsenik és ?rültek lennénk egyszerre? Hétk?znapi mániáink betegesek-e? A túlérzékeny ember morálja kóros-e? A hipochonder egyúttal elmebeteg is? Akinek szomorú gondolatai vannak és lelkiismeret-furdalások gy?trik, az lelki beteg, vagy egyenesen ?rült? Lombroso a zsenik, a nagy emberek példáján mutatja be, hogan lehet ?megvilágosult” állapotban jelent?set alkotni úgy, hogy k?zben ezek a zsenik mániákusan ragaszkodnak saját mell?z?ttségük vagy üld?z?ttségük tudatához. A k?zkelet? hiedelemre, hogy a lángész és az ?rültség nincs is olyan messzire egymástól, még a modern tudományok eredményeinek tükrében is választ vár az olvasó. S Lombroso e k?nyve kielégíti érdekl?dését. (moly.hu)

Rájttem, hogy nem azért jttem vissza a halálból, mert olyan okos vagyok. Vagyis az akaratomnak semmi kze nem volt az élethez. Valami más intelligencia dolgozott, nem az enyém. Ha van egyáltalán valamiféle vallásom, az nem más, mint hit abban, hogy az én intelligenciám részt vesz egy másik, nagyobb intelligenciában. Tehát nem én vagyok okos, hanem valamiféleképpen rezonálok valamivel, ami okos. Részt veszek valamiben. Mindannyian a világmindenség gyümlcsei vagyunk. Ti is a világmindenség gyümlcsei vagytok. A gyümlcs se tudja, hogy miért érik olyan szép szilvává vagy szibarackká, csak úgy csinálja, ahogy mi is csináljuk. Vagy a kisujjamban a sejtek. k is csak részt vesznek bennem, mikzben nem ismerik Feldmár Andrást. n sem ismerem azt, akinek én egy kis sejtje vagyok.”

A huszadik század alapvet?en megváltoztatta a nemek kapcsolatát, a család szerepét és a n? helyét a világban. A maga korában minden újabb lépés természetes volt: az emberek jogot formáltak a szerelem szabad élvezetére, megtanultuk, hogyan tervezzünk tudatosan családot, a n?k munkába álltak, és küzdeni kezdtek a szabadságukért. ?s mindek?zben a nemek viszonya el?re nem látott módon változott meg. Megváltozott a férfi és a n? szerepe és biológiája, háttérbe szorult a család, és sokan már a gyerekekr?l is tudatosan mondanak le. Korántsem biztos azonban, hogy ebben az új világban tényleg boldogabbak és szabadabbak vagyunk… Vajon mi lehet az evolúciós háttere a tudatos gyermektelenségnek vagy a szingli életformának? Mit?l változott meg a szépségideál az elmúlt száz esztend?ben? Nem egyszer?en a viszonyok rendez?dtek át: a két nem biológiai értelemben is változik. Változik a n? teste, változik egész lénye. SZENDI G?BOR A n? felemelkedése és tünd?klése cím? nagysiker? k?nyvében még arról írt, mi rejlik a génekben, milyen programok dolgoznak a n?ben és a férfiben. Legújabb k?tetében már azt elemzi, milyen er?k és fordulatok ?sszhatására született meg az ?új n?”, és milyen nehézségekkel kell megküzdenie a jelenben és a j?v?be.

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.

Deseori, cei care solicit? ajutorul unui psihoterapeut nu sunt doar ?n c?utarea unor solu?ii pentru conflictele care ?i fr?m?nt?, ci simt c? au nevoie de un nou ?nceput pentru c? undeva, ?n interior, exist? un defect care trebuie reparat, un defect care a ap?rut ?n rela?iile cu ceilal?i. ?n Defectul fundamental, M.

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.

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!
