Gaslighting
Gaslighting. What it is, how you can spot it - and how you can break free.
He's the charmer - the witty, confident, but overly controlling date. She's the woman on your team who always manages to take credit for your good work. He's the neighbour who swears you've been putting your rubbish into his bins, or the politician who can never admit to a mistake. Gaslighters are master controllers and manipulators, often challenging your very sense of reality. Whether it's a spouse, parent, co-worker, or friend, gaslighters distort the truth - by lying, withholding, triangulation, and more - making their victims question their own reality and sanity. Dr Stephanie Sarkis delves into this hidden manipulation technique, covering gaslighting in every life scenario, sharing:
· Why gaslighters seem so 'normal' at first
· Warning signs and examples
· Gaslighter 'red flags' on a first date
· Practical strategies for coping
· How to co-parent with a gaslighter
· How to protect yourself from a gaslighter at work
· How to walk away and rebuild your life
With clear-eyed wisdom and empathy, Dr Sarkis not only helps you determine if you are being victimized by a gaslighter - she gives you the tools to break free and heal.
Skin in the Game
THE TOP TEN BESTSELLER
From the bestselling author of The Black Swan, a bold book that challenges many of our long-held beliefs about risk and reward, politics and religion, finance and personal responsibility
Why should we never listen to people who explain rather than do? Why do companies go bust? How is it that we have more slaves today than in Roman times? Why does imposing democracy on other countries never work?
The answer: too many people running the world don't have skin in the game. In his inimitable, pugnacious style, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows that skin in the game applies to all aspects of our lives. It's about having something to lose and taking a risk. Citizens, lab experimenters, artisans, political activists and hedge fund traders all have skin in the game. Policy wonks, corporate executives, theoreticians, bankers and most journalists don't.
As Taleb says, "The symmetry of skin in the game is a simple rule that's necessary for fairness and justice, and the ultimate BS-buster," and "Never trust anyone who doesn't have skin in the game. Without it, fools and crooks will benefit, and their mistakes will never come back to haunt them".
The Other Side of Happiness
Pain is bad, right? In this fascinating book, Brock Bastian will convince you otherwise. Drawing on both vivid everyday examples and surprising laboratory findings, he shows how pain, suffering, and struggle give us pleasure, make us kinder, focus our thoughts, and give our life meaning' Paul Bloom, author of Against Empathy
In today's culture, happiness has become the new marker of success, while hardships are viewed as personal weaknesses, or problems to be fixed. We increasingly try to eradicate pain through medication and by insulating ourselves from risk and offence, despite being the safest generation to have ever lived. Yet in his research, renowned social psychologist Brock Bastian has found that suffering and sadness are neither antithetical to happiness nor incidental to it: they are a necessary ingredient for emotional well-being.
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. The most thrilling moments of our lives are often 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 plunging into an icy sea. This is because pain and the threat of loss quite literally increase our capacity for happiness, as Bastian reveals, making us stronger, more resilient, more connected to other people and more attuned to what truly matters. Pain even makes us more mindful, since in our darkest moments we are especially focused and aware of the world around us.
Our addiction to positivity and the pursuit of pleasure is actually making us miserable. Brock Bastian shows that, without some pain, we have no real way to achieve and appreciate the kind of happiness that is true and transcendent.
'Brock Bastian skilfully shatters the zeitgeist of positive thinking, showing how struggle and suffering are vital elements of a life well lived'

A beautifully written and important book that should be required reading for anyone who's ever wondered why well-being so oftenflourishes in unexpected places' Adam Alter, author of DRUNK TANK PINK

D-Day
Women spend their working lives adapting to an environment set up for men, by men: from altering the way they speak to changing the clothes they wear to power posing. But still the gender gap persists. And once you see it - women being overlooked, interrupted, their ideas credited to men - it's impossible to ignore.
But it needn't be this way.
Diving deep into the wide range of government initiatives, corporate experiments and social science research Joanne Lipman offers fascinating new revelations about the way men and women work culled from the Enron scandal, from brain research, from transgender scientists and from Iceland's campaign to 'feminise' an entire nation. Packed with fascinating and entertaining examples - from the woman behind the success of Tupperware to how Google reinvented its hiring process - That's What She Said is a rallying cry to both men and women to finally take real steps towards closing the gender gap.

Proč máme strach ze smrti?
Když člověk ztratí lidské opory, v duši se objeví touha a otázka, zda život pokračuje dál. Nejen vesmír má své zákony, i v lidském nitru jsou zákony, které nám ukazují touhu po životě, který smrtí nekončí. Tato touha je vlastní každému lidskému srdci. Potřebujeme lásku dostávat, ale máme potřebu ji také dávat, a to do svého posledního výdechu. Člověk je určen ke štěstí, a to je zcela vlastní všem lidem. Tyto skutečnosti si nemocní na konci života zvlášť silně uvědomují.
Samota a opuštěnost je nejvýznamnějším znakem naší doby, ale také provokací, abychom v situaci izolace, zvlášť při umírání, něco dobrého vykonali. Mou první odpovědí na utrpení, se kterým jsem se setkávala jako zdravotní sestra v nemocnici, bylo změnit nelichotivé podmínky umírajících lidí a podpořit rodiny, které by chtěly pečovat o své blízké ve svém vlastním, přirozeném prostředí.
Více než kdy jindy bych chtěla povzbudit nás všechny, zdravé lidi, abychom se nebáli vstoupit do tajemství umírání svých blízkých. Potřebují naši lásku, ale i praktickou pomoc. Potřebují dojít k naději, jinak by jejich dosavadní život poztrácel smysl.

Malá kniha o duši
Říká se: ve zdravém těle zdravý duch, tedy že péče o tělo vede k duševní spokojenosti. Ale co když je to opačně? I náš neviditelný orgán - duše - potřebuje péči. Vy jste třeba naštěstí v pořádku, ale hned ve vašem nejbližším okolí je určitě někdo, kdo má vážné psychické problémy: pomoc psychiatra nebo psychologa vyhledal aspoň jednou za život každý druhý člověk. A počet duševních chorob bohužel stále roste.
Malá kniha o duši je základní příručka, která odpovídá na celou řadu důležitých otázek jako: Co je duše? Co je normální? Co vlastně dělá a co zmůže psychiatr? Co jsem já udělal/a špatně? Jak (moc) mám brát léky a jak číst příbalové letáky?
Stručnou, ale obsažnou, poučnou, ale srozumitelnou, a k tomu čtivou knížku napsal švýcarský psychiatr Achim Haug. Pomůže zorientovat se v obtížném tématu, které se přímo či nepřímo týká nás všech.
Endure
`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.
The Story of Sex
A history of sex, sexuality and human intimacy through the ages, from our primate pasts to our robotic futures
Sex is everywhere, yet how many of us truly understand it?
Our attitudes to sex and sexuality are forever in flux. Driven by pleasure, power, revenge, a desire for children or simply because it isn't allowed, humans have had sex on the brain since pre-civilisation. But what do we really know? In The Story of Sex, we discover the truth, including: what eroticism really is, when the first couple was established, what phallic festivals were all about, when chastity belts were used and how some ancient civilisations were far ahead of their time when it came to gender equality.
We learn how, through the centuries, religion, superstition and morality laws have shaped our view of what is and isn't palatable - with many cultures having come a long way from prohibiting masturbation (by way of a microscope) or considering homosexuality a 'perversion', while others continue to condemn promiscuous behaviour, particularly of women - and how technology and disease have redefined the limits of pleasure and reproduction.
The first graphic novel of its kind, The Story of Sex brilliantly and humorously uncovers the most fascinating details of our sexual ancestry, and foretells a future of virtual gratification.

With The End In Mind
In this unprecedented book, palliative medicine pioneer Dr Kathryn Mannix explores the biggest taboo in our society and the only certainty we all share: death
Told through a series of beautifully crafted stories taken from nearly four decades of clinical practice, her book answers the most intimate questions about the process of dying with touching honesty and humanity. She makes a compelling case for the therapeutic power of approaching death not with trepidation but with openness, clarity and understanding.
With the End in Mind is a book for us all: the grieving and bereaved, ill and healthy. Open these pages and you will find stories about people who are like you, and like people you know and love. You will meet Holly, who danced her last day away; Eric, the retired head teacher who, even with Motor Neurone Disease, gets things done; loving, tender-hearted Nelly and Joe, each living a lonely lie to save their beloved from distress; and Sylvie, 19, dying of leukaemia, sewing a cushion for her mum to hug by the fire after she has died.
These are just four of the book's thirty-odd stories of normal humans, dying normal human deaths. They show how the dying embrace living not because they are unusual or brave, but because that's what humans do. By turns touching, tragic, at times funny and always wise, they offer us illumination, models for action, and hope. Read this book and you'll be better prepared for life as well as death.

Dějiny psychologie do konce 19. století
Publikace přináší poměrně rozsáhlé pojednání o vývojové etapě utváření filosofických a empirických základů psychologie v dobách, kdy psychologie ještě nebyla samostatnou vědou. Kromě rozšiřujícího pohledu na známá témata kniha zpracovává i témata dosud neuvedená, protože autor soudí, že v dějinách psychologie by měl být zachycen i vliv mystiky a esoterních soustav, neboť i tyto obory přinášely určité pojetí lidského duševního života. Proto je zde zahrnuto i pojednání o starořecké magii, středověké mystice, renesančním hermetismu, mesmerismu a obsáhlá informace o polemice na téma spiritismus, která se odehrála na konci 19. století mezi řadou významných vědců a filosofů. Originální je také závěr knihy, ukazující, jak se utvářel vliv některých představitelů vědy a filosofie s vědeckými kořeny v 19. století na vznik významných směrů v psychologii následujícího století (fenomenologické psychologie s jejími směry logoterapie, daseinsanalýzy, psychologie existence a ovšem gestaltismu, psychoanalýzy, psychologie osobnosti, resp. egopsychologie).
Publikace tak v řadě případů podává nové pohledy na některé představitele i proudy, jež jsou pro studium historie psychologie podstatné, avšak u nás dosud běžně nepřístupné. Dílo je postaveno v naprosté většině na použití původních textů a na sepětí vývoje psychologie se společenskými poměry („duchem“) té které doby. Kniha pokrývá tematiku dějin této vědy od starověku přes středověk až k novověkým počátkům psychologie jako samostatné empirické vědy.

Not Working - Why We Have to Stop
'To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world.' Oscar Wilde
More than ever before, we live in a culture that excoriates inactivity and demonizes idleness. Work, connectivity and a constant flow of information are the cultural norms, and a permanent busyness pervades even our quietest moments. Little wonder so many of us are burning out.
In a culture that tacitly coerces us into blind activity, the art of doing nothing is disappearing. Inactivity can induce lethargy and indifference, but is also a condition of imaginative freedom and creativity. Psychoanalyst Josh Cohen explores the paradoxical pleasures of inactivity, and considers four faces of inertia - the burnout, the slob, the daydreamer and the slacker. Drawing on his personal experiences and on stories from his consulting room, while punctuating his discussions with portraits of figures associated with the different forms of inactivity - Andy Warhol, Orson Welles, Emily Dickinson and David Foster Wallace - Cohen gets to the heart of the apathy so many of us feel when faced with the demands of contemporary life, and asks how we might live a different and more fulfilled existence.
