letünk biztonsága trékeny, nem élhetjük le veszteségek nélkül. Le kell mondanunk remek munkahelyekrl, kedves barátokról, st, talán meghitt otthonunkról, megtaláltnak hitt szerelmünkrl, értékes egészségünkrl, szeretett hozzátartozónkról. Sokan, akiket súlyos veszteség ért, mindent szívesen eldobnának, ha visszakaphatnák, amit elveszítettek. Mások azonban egy id után úgy tekintenek ezekre a fájdalmas trésekre, mint szükséges fordulatokra, amik tovább terelték ket sorsuk kiteljesedése felé. A Veszteségek ajándéka cím knyvben emberek mesélik el élettrténetüket, akiket súlyos csapások értek, de hosszabb-rvidebb id után felismerték, hogy ezeket hogyan fordítsák nmaguk megersítésére, fejlesztésére. Ezek a trténetek ert adnak, utat mutatnak nekünk. Jó lenne megtanulnunk, hogy ne csupán megkeseredett túléli legyünk saját életünk kisebb-nagyobb veszteségeink vagy olykor tragikus eseményeinek, hanem képesek legyünk észrevenni és elfogadni mindezek ajándékait is. Ha ez sikerül, akár mások támaszai is lehetünk, olyanoké, akik még nem tudtak rálépni a megersdés svényére

A n?i szexualitás és a n?k saját testéhez való viszonyában kulcselem a bizonytalanság. Sosem tudhatom igazán, hogy éppen mi t?rténik bennem. A bizonytalanságból pedig egyfajta szorongás fakad: ha nem hiszek magamban, nem hiszek a testemben, akkor máshol kell keresnem a biztonságérzetet. De nincs is abban semmi meglep?, hogy nem tanulunk meg ??nállóan” viszonyulni a testünkh?z, hiszen a mindennapi élet szintjén születésünk pillanatától kezdve kül?nb?z? társadalmi intézmények gyakorolják a kontrollt a testünk felett. El?sz?r el kell sajátítanunk, mi mindent kezdhetünk a testünkkel, ha megsz?nnek az azt uraló autoritások. Azonban ez meglehet?sen bonyolult. Hiszen nem tudjuk magunkat egy csapásra függetleníteni a társadalomtól és annak intézményeit?l – az orvoslástól, a pszichológiától, a pedagógiától, a médiától – a világtól, amelyben élünk. Nem beszélve arról, hogy a szex testi vonatkozásai mellett jogos igényként merül fel bennünk az intimitás, a szerelem vagy épp az elfogadás vágya. A menstruáció, az orgazmus, a várandósság, a szülés, a gyermekágy, a szoptatás vagy a menopauza látszólag biológiai t?rténései éppúgy hatással vannak az ?nértékelésünkre, párkapcsolatunkra, mint a családi életünkre. Ráadásul a fejünkben mítoszok élnek arról, hogy mi a normális. Ahelyett, hogy a saját vágyainkat, ?r?münket, intimitásunkat élnék meg, vélt vagy valós elvárásoknak próbálunk megfelelni. Pedig a szexben nincs jó vagy rossz. Ez a k?nyv is ebben a szellemben íródott, n?k ezerféle arcát szeretné megmutatni. Mester Dóra Djamila N?, anya, szeret?, amat?r fotós, k?zgazdász, hobbikertész, társadalomkutató és szexedukátor. Egy ?szex-pozitív” misszió aktivistája. K?zépiskolákban, diákotthonokban kamaszokkal beszélget szexr?l, szerelemr?l; személyes konzultációkat tart, rádióm?sort vezet, ír és beszélget, ahol csak lehet. Ahogy magáról állítja, ?hangosan gondolkodik a szexr?l”, és minden lehetséges fórumon kísérletezik egy nyitott, el?ítélet-mentes és alapvet?en pozitív szexbeszéd megteremtésével.

Valljuk be, majdnem mindannyian hajlamosak vagyunk az ?nsajnálatra. ?gy hisszük, a legnagyobb baj mindig velünk t?rténik. Nos, ha valamiért szomorú vagy – esetleg elhagytak, megcsaltak, becsaptak vagy elárultak –, és elolvasod ezt a k?nyvet, hidd el, fel fogod tenni magadnak a kérdést: Miért sírok, miért szomorkodom?! Hozzájuk képest hálás lehetek a sorsnak… Ha éppen valamilyen párkapcsolati problémával küzdesz, biztosan találsz a k?nyvemben olyan t?rténetet, amely rímel a mostani gondjaidra. Megtudhatod, mások hogyan oldották meg – vagy hogyan rontották el – azt a bizonyos élethelyzetet. Talán segít felismerni a megoldást, és nem k?veted el ugyanazt a hibát, amit ott és akkor másvalaki már elk?vetett. Igaz a mondás: okos ember más kárán tanul. Nos, ebb?l a k?nyvb?l tanulhatsz b?ven… Megtanulhatod, hogyan lehet a teljes kiszolgáltatottságból felállni, egy t?nkrement életet újraépíteni, elgyászolni az elgyászolhatatlant, elengedni életed legfontosabb szerepl?jét, ahogy megtanulhatod azt is, hogyan rombolhat a legnagyobb szeretet, milyen mélységekbe taszíthat a szegénység, vagy hogy miként lehet újra bizakodni életünk romjain. A regényírók fantáziája végtelen, ám a legnagyobb mesemondó mégiscsak az élet. Aligha olvastál még olyan csavaros, izgalmas, megrázó t?rténeteket, mint ezek itt. Talán, mert ezeket a t?rténeteket tényleg az élet írta. ?n csak papírra vetettem. Tizenegy igaz t?rténet. Tizenegy d?bbenetes sors. Tizenegy ember, aki képes volt újrakezdeni az életét. Szeretettel, Kata

Amikor egyszer csak azzal szembesülsz, hogy elkap egy mindenféle tünetekkel járó rosszullét, még fogalmad sincs róla, hogy valami olyasmi veszi kezdetét, ami hónapokra, évekre vagy akár évtizedekre is meghatározza majd az életedet. Csak id? kérdése és a rohamok megismétl?dnek, egyre gyakoribbá válnak, szép lassan úrrá lesznek rajtad és átveszik a hatalmat a sorsod felett. El?sz?r még te magad sem hiszed el, hogy mindez veled t?rténik. Valami, amir?l azt mondják pánik(betegség), egy sz?rny? fenevad, rád talált, utolért, beléd bújt, a részed lett és pokollá akarja tenni vagy már azzá is tette az életedet. Ett?l kezdve ugyanis nem te parancsolsz neki, hanem ? neked. Nem tudsz elbújni vagy elmenekülni el?le, mert ott van benned, a saját testedben és a lelkedben. Ha ?r?kre meg akarsz szabadulni t?le, egy életre szóló feladat vár rád, talán életed legnagyobb kihívása ez. Mindenekel?tt el kell d?ntened, hogy képes vagy rá és tudnod kell, hogy valami nagy változásra van szükséged. Ha el akarod felejteni mindazt a sok szomorúságot, kellemetlenséget, fájdalmat és rosszat, amire ezen túl még csak emlékezni sem akarsz, meg kell változnod. A változáshoz semmi másra nincs szükséged, csakis ?nmagadra. Ha úgy d?ntesz, te vagy az er?sebb és legy?z?d minden mutációjával együtt, tudnod kell az el?tted álló út nemcsak hosszú és magányos, de meglehet?sen nehéz, és gy?trelmes lesz, sok ?nfegyelmet és alázatot kíván majd. De cserébe ígérem, talán sok-sokévnyi sikertelen próbálkozás után, az alagút végén te is meglátod a fényt. A fény felé haladva egyre határozottabban látod majd a megoldást, élvezed a sikert, legy?z?d a korlátaidat, és újra kinyílik számodra a világ. Amikor a magamfajta szerencse fia, rátalál a saját pokolból kivezet? útjára, egy id? után egyre világosabban látja, merre kell mennie, és mit kell tennie nemcsak hogy saját magát, de sorstársait is gy?zelemre segítse. Csakis így nyerhet értelmet az életében miden szenvedés, zsákutca vagy kanyar… Szóljon hát ez a k?nyv segítségül mindazoknak, akik velem együtt megjárták a pánik, ama legmélységesebb bugyrait, amit leggonoszabb ellenségeimnek sem kívánnék, ha egyáltalán lennének ilyenek!

Do you feel caught in a negative, looping behavior pattern? Do you ever wonder why the same situation seems to play out in your life with a revolving cast of characters? If you have become a “people pleaser” or fancy yourself a self-styled rebel, perhaps these are the surface level manifestations of something stirring deep within you—a need to let go. Other symptoms of holding on to the past are a constant need for acknowledgment or a fear of showing vulnerability. The common thread that runs through these behaviors and patterns is that the symptoms likely arise from a specific negative experience, which has never been fully processed. Never been let go. You have allowed this experience to take control of your destiny, and it is keeping you from living free and being who you really are. THE TIME HAS COME TO LET GO!

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!

There he meets the prison guard's beautiful daughter Rosa, who will be his comfort and help, and eventually become his rescuer.

Tolstoy shares his views about the imprecision of general opinions on art, the time, effort, public funds, and public respect spent on art and artists. The difficulty of meaning in art, and especially what is good, useful art, art for the sake of which we might condone such sacrifices as are being offered at its shrine. So, what is art?

Schoolboy Mitya is in desperate need of money to repay a debt, but his father angrily denies him assistance. Dejected, under the instigation of a friend Makhin, Mitya simply changes a 2.50 note to read 12.50, but this one evil deed sets off a chain of events that affects the lives of dozens of others, when his one falsehood indirectly causes a man to murder a woman.
