Tanec hnevu
Hnev je emócia, ktorá si zaslúži našu pozornosť. Má svoj dôvod, či už vedomý, alebo skrytý hlboko v našom podvedomí. Za hnev sa netreba hanbiť alebo ho zo slušnosti skrývať. Každý z nás má právo vyjadriť emócie, ktoré cíti.
Najmä ženy mávajú problém spracovať svoj hnev. Známa psychologička Harriet Lerner im vo svojej knihe radí, ako nájsť skutočný dôvod hnevu, a silu, ktorá sa v ňom skrýva, použiť na dosiahnutie pozitívnej zmeny vo vzťahoch s nabližšími ľuďmi - s partnerom, rodičmi či deťmi.
Kniha Tanec hnevu sa od svojho prvého vydania stala klasikou v oblasti rodinnej a vzťahovej psychológie a pomohla už miliónom čitateľov na celom svete. Bola preložená do viac ako 35 jazykov a jej nadčasové posolstvo je dnes možno aktuálnejšie ako kedykoľvek predtým.

Against Empathy
In a divided world, empathy is not the solution, it is the problem. We think of empathy - the ability to feel the suffering of others for ourselves - as the ultimate source of all good behaviour. But while it inspires care and protection in personal relationships, it has the opposite effect in the wider world.
As the latest research in psychology and neuroscience shows, we feel empathy most for those we find attractive and who seem similar to us and not at all for those who are different, distant or anonymous. Empathy therefore biases us in favour of individuals we know while numbing us to the plight of thousands. Guiding us expertly through the experiments, case studies and arguments on all sides, Paul Bloom ultimately shows that some of our worst decisions - in charity, child-raising, criminal justice, climate change and war - are motivated by this wolf in sheep's clothing.
Brilliantly argued, urgent and humane, Against Empathy overturns widely held assumptions to reveal one of the most profound yet overlooked sources of human conflict.
Střízlivě, většinou vesele
Kdysi se mě jedna novinářka zeptala, proč mluvím o bývalých pacientech jako o střízlivých přátelích. Důvod je prostý, protože mi jako přátelé připadají. Přátelství nebo spřízněnost cítím i vůči lidem, s nimiž jsem se setkal jen letmo nebo o kterých jsem slyšel. Mými přáteli se, vážení čtenáři, můžete prostřednictvím této knihy stát i vy.
Kniha, kterou držíte v rukou, není učebnice, ale kamarád. Můžete ji otevřít na kterémkoli místě, kousek si přečíst, a pak se věnovat něčemu jinému. Můžete při její četbě třeba pít čaj, poslouchat hudbu nebo se vesele kodrcat v hromadné dopravě. Vlastně s pitím čaje raději opatrně, kdybyste se začali smát, mohli byste se pobryndat.
A ne že bych zde popisoval jen veselé věci, ty ale převažují.

Utopia for Realists
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'Listen out for Rutger Bregman. He has a big future shaping the future' Observer
'The Dutch wunderkind of new ideas' Guardian
In Utopia for Realists, Rutger Bregman shows that we can construct a society with visionary ideas that are, in fact, wholly implementable. Every milestone of civilisation - from the end of slavery to the beginning of democracy - was once considered a utopian fantasy. New utopian ideas such as universal basic income and a fifteen-hour work week can become reality in our lifetime.
From a Canadian city that once completely eradicated poverty, to Richard Nixon's near implementation of a basic income for millions of Americans, Bregman takes us on a journey through history, beyond the traditional left-right divides, as he introduces ideas whose time has come.
Endure: Mind, Body And The Curiously Elastic Limits Of Human Performance
`This book is AMAZING!' - MALCOLM GLADWELL
`If you want to gain insight into the mind of great athletes, adventurers, and peak performers then prepare to be enthralled by Alex Hutchinson's Endure.' - BEAR GRYLLS
How high or far or fast can humans go? And what about individual potential: what defines a person's limits? From running a two-hour marathon to summiting Mount Everest, we're fascinated by the extremes of human endurance, constantly testing both our physical and psychological limits.
In Endure Alex Hutchinson, Ph.D., reveals why our individual limits may be determined as much by our head and heart, as by our muscles. He presents an overview of science's search for understanding human fatigue, from crude experiments with electricity and frogs' legs to sophisticated brain imaging technology. Going beyond the traditional mechanical view of human limits, he instead argues that a key element in endurance is how the brain responds to distress signals-whether heat, or cold, or muscles screaming with lactic acid-and reveals that we can train to improve brain response.
An elite distance runner himself, Hutchinson takes us to the forefront of the new sports psychology - brain electrode jolts, computer-based training, subliminal messaging - and presents startling new discoveries enhancing the performance of athletes today, showing us how anyone can utilize these tactics to bolster their own performance - and get the most out of their bodies.
Třetí vlna v kognitivně-behaviorální terapii
Kniha přibližuje nové přístupy, které vznikly v kognitivně-behaviorální terapii (KBT) v posledních desetiletích a bývají označovány jako třetí vlna v KBT. Ty se více zaměřují na analýzu hluboce zakořeněných vzorců uvažování a chování, jež vznikly u jedinců, kteří byli v raném dětství vystaveni škodlivému působení a u nichž v důsledku toho vznikly obtížně měnitelné způsoby uvažování a chování. Třetí vlna s sebou přinesla širokou integraci s jinými psychoterapeutickými směry, jako je gestaltterapie, existenciální psychoterapie, interpersonální psychoterapie, ego-psychologie, systemická terapie, buddhistické a jógové strategie a přístupy rodinné či narativní terapie. Její předností je navíc vysoká terapeutická efektivita ověřená klinickými studiemi.
Podrobně jsou popsány terapie zaměřená na schémata Jeffreyho E. Younga, Hayesova terapie pomocí přijetí a závazku, dialekticko-behaviorální terapie Marshy M. Linehanové a na všímavosti založená KBT. V každé kapitole jsou představena základní východiska daného směru, používané léčebné strategie, ukázky terapie a cvičení. Cílem knihy je inspirovat nejen KBT terapeuty, ale i terapeuty jiných směrů a rozšířit styl jejich práce.
Na knize se autorsky podíleli doc. PhDr. Miloš Šlepecký, CSc., prof. MUDr. Ján Praško, CSc., PhDr. Antónia Kotianová a Mgr. Jana Vyskočilová. Autoři jsou zkušenými odborníky v oblasti psychologické, psychiatrické a psychoterapeutické péče. Dohromady napsali více než 80 monografií a asi 600 odborných článků. Vedou výcviky v KBT a KBT supervizi, jejichž součástí je i představení třetí vlny KBT.
Why We Sleep
THE TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
TLS, OBSERVER, SUNDAY TIMES, FT, GUARDIAN, DAILY MAIL AND EVENING STANDARD BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2017
'Vital ... a life-raft' Guardian
'A top sleep scientist argues that sleep is more important for our health than diet or exercise' The Times
'It had a powerful effect on me' Observer
'I urge you all to read this book' Times Higher Education
Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in twenty-first-century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep.
Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why its absence is so damaging to our health. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.
Now, in this book, the first of its kind written by a scientific expert, Professor Matthew Walker explores twenty years of cutting-edge research to solve the mystery of why sleep matters. Looking at creatures from across the animal kingdom as well as major human studies, Why We Sleep delves in to everything from what really happens during REM sleep to how caffeine and alcohol affect sleep and why our sleep patterns change across a lifetime, transforming our appreciation of the extraordinary phenomenon that safeguards our existence.

Where does great culture come from? How do you build and sustain it in your group, or strengthen a culture that needs fixing?

Mindhunter
THE BESTSELLING TRUE STORY THAT INSPIRED THE MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES

Now retired, Douglas can let us inside the FBI elite serial crime unit and into the disturbed minds of some of the most savage serial killers in the world.
The man who was the inspiration for Special Agent Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs and who lent the film's makers his expertise explains how he invented and established the practice of criminal profiling; what it was like to submerge himself mentally in the world of serial killers to the point of 'becoming' both perpetrator and victim; and individual case histories including those of Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy and the Atlanta child murders.
With the fierce page-turning power of a bestselling novel, yet terrifyingly true, Mindhunter is a true crime classic.

Lidé lži
Slavná kniha psychologa M. Scotta Pecka, autora známých titulů Nevyšlapanou cestou, Postel u okna či V jiném rytmu, obrací svou pozornost k jednomu z největších témat lidského života k otázce zla.

The Other Side of Happiness
In Western culture, we have become addicted to positivity. We try to eradicate pain through medication and by insulating ourselves and our children from risk, even though we are the safest generation that ever lived, and often view difficulty as a personal failure. Yet in his research renowned social psychologist Brock Bastian has found that hardship and sadness are neither antithetical to pleasure nor incidental: they are a necessary ingredient for happiness.
Drawing on psychology, neuroscience and internationally acclaimed findings from Bastian's own lab, The Other Side of Happiness encourages us to take a more fearless approach to living that acknowledges the value of pain in our lives. As Bastian shows us, the most thrilling moments of our lives are usually balanced on a knife edge between pleasure and pain, whether it is finding your true love, holding your new-born for the first time, finishing a marathon or even taking a dip in an icy sea. This is because hardship quite literally increases our capacity for happiness, making us stronger, more resilient and more connected to those around us.
Backed by rigorous scientific research, Brock Bastian shows that, without some pain, we have no real way to achieve and appreciate happiness.

Jak současná věda objevuje empatii
Předkládaná publikace nabízí ucelený transdisciplinární pohled na empatii jako na sociální i individuálně psychologický fenomén. Kromě komplexního přehledu definic, vycházejícího zejména z koncepce jednoho z nejvýznamnějších moderních psychologů C. R. Rogerse, autoři v textu formulují také odpovědi na následující otázky: Jaké dopady může mít nedostatek empatie v dětství na další vývoj jedince? Jaké benefity přináší rozvoj empatie v oblasti životní spokojenosti, zájmu o druhé či porozumění jejich duševnímu stavu? Existuje souvislost mezi empatií a prosociálním či altruistickým jednáním? Co nového se díky vpádu exaktnosti a nejnovějších výzkumných technologií dozvídáme o empatii, resp. o její evoluci, dědičnosti či citlivosti na sociální vlivy? Co můžeme očekávat od budoucího výzkumu empatie?
Autoři konfrontují Rogersovo pojetí empatie s nejnovějšími poznatky, především z oblasti neurověd a experimentální psychologie, přičemž sledují implikace jak v oblasti psychoterapie, tak v kontextu společenské praxe, etiky či spirituality. Hledají také souvislosti mezi deficity empatie a poruchami osobnosti, poruchami autistického spektra, poruchou pozornosti či hyperaktivitou.
Autoři této studie jsou přesvědčeni o tom, že na rozvoj empatie bychom neměli rezignovat ani ho ponechat pouze na naší intuici či tzv. zdravém rozumu?, a to zejména v oblasti osobních vztahů, výchovy, vzdělávání či zdravotní péče. V textu proto věnují prostor také některým metodám, které empatii účinně rozvíjejí.

Who Are You, Really? : The Surprising Puzzle of Personality
Dr Brian Little challenges what we think we know about how our personality works and is shaped. It's time to think beyond the nature vs. nurture debate.
It is our pursuit of our dreams and our personal passions that shape who we are. Previous praise for Dr Brian Little: 'Brian Little is one of the wisest, funniest, kindest, and most erudite people I have ever met' Susan Cain, bestselling author of Quiet 'With extraordinary wit and wisdom, distinguished psychologist Brian Little offers startling insights' Adam Grant, bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals Who Are You, Really? presents a distinctive view of how personality shapes our lives - and why this matters. Dr Brian Little makes the case for a third nature to the human condition - the pursuit of personal projects, crazy dreams and creative ventures that shape both people's lives and their personalities.
Stable traits of personality (now identified as the 'Big Five': openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism) have important links with well-being, both psychological and physical. But in contrast with these fixed traits of personality there are what Little identifies as 'free traits.' These are traits that run counter to one's first nature. Why do we engage in free trait behaviour? We do so to advance core personal projects in our lives; we can act out of character because of the demands of professionalism or the imperatives of love.
Like learning to walk, forcing ourselves out of balance as we step forward may be temporarily disconcerting. But it is the only way, literally, in which we can move forward. And it is the only way that human flourishing can be enhanced.Who Are You, Really? provides a deeply personal itinerary for exploring our personalities, our lives and the human condition.
Emotional Success - The Power of Gratitude, Compassion, and Pride
A pioneering psychologist reveals how three emotions can provide the surest, quickest route to success in any realm.
A string of bestsellers have alerted us to the importance of grit - an ability to persevere and control one's impulses that is so closely associated with greatness. But no book yet has charted the most accessible and powerful path to grit: our prosocial emotions. These feelings - gratitude, compassion and pride - are easier to generate than the willpower and self-denial that underpin traditional approaches to grit. And, while willpower is quickly depleted, prosocial emotions actually become stronger the more we use them. These emotions have another crucial advantage: they're contagious. Those around us become more likely to apply them when we do.
As this myth-shattering book explains, prosocial emotions evolved specifically to help us resist immediate temptations in favor of long-term gains. Originally, they enabled us to build lasting relationships with other people, and they still do that brilliantly. But they can also be adapted to strengthen our bonds with our own future selves - who will benefit most from the grit we need to succeed in life. No matter what our goals are, EMOTIONAL SUCCESS can help us achieve them with greater ease and deeper satisfaction than we would have thought possible.
A Really Good Day
The true story of how a renowned writer's struggle with mood storms led her to try a remedy as drastic as it is forbidden: microdoses of LSD. Her fascinating journey provides a window into one family and the complex world of a once-infamous drug seen through new eyes. When a small vial arrives in her mailbox from "Lewis Carroll," Ayelet Waldman is ready to try anything. Her depression has become intolerable, severe and unmanageable; medication has failed to make a difference. Married with four children and a robust career, she "should" be happy, but instead her family and her work are suffering at the mercy of her mood disorder. So she opens the vial, places two drops on her tongue, and becomes part of a burgeoning underground group of scientists and civilians successfully using therapeutic microdoses of LSD. As Waldman charts her experience over the course of a month, during which she achieved a newfound feeling of serenity, she also explores the history and mythology of LSD, the cutting-edge research into the drug, and the byzantine policies that control it. Drawing on her experience as a federal public defender, and as the mother of teenagers, and her research into the therapeutic value of psychedelics, Waldman has produced a book that is candid, revealing and completely enthralling.
The Art of Losing Control
Since the Enlightenment, western culture has written off ecstatic experience as a form of mental illness. But why should rationality be considered the highest part of human nature when we are capable of so many more states of experience?
Piecing together interviews, analysis of ancient and modern philosophy, and his own eclectic encounters with the sublime, philosopher Jules Evans mounts an investigation into what we can gain from mastering the art of losing control. From Aristotle and Plato to the Bishop of London and Sister Bliss, radical jihadis to Silicon Valley transhumanists, The Art of Losing Control is a funny, life-enhancing journey that will change the way you think about how you feel.
The Courage To Be Disliked
The Courage to be Disliked shows you how to unlock the power within yourself to become your best and truest self, change your future and find lasting happiness. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, the authors explain how we are all free to determine our own future free of the shackles of past experiences, doubts and the expectations of others. It's a philosophy that's profoundly liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change, and to ignore the limitations that we and those around us can place on ourselves. The result is a book that is both highly accessible and profound in its importance. Millions have already read and benefited from its wisdom. Now that The Courage to be Disliked has been published for the first time in English, so can you.
