Hour of the Heart
One of the most prominent psychotherapists of our time offers a deeply moving chronicle of the challenges and breakthroughs that come from a wholly new practice of one-time-only therapy sessions.
Facing memory loss at age ninety-three as well as the fallout from a global pandemic that moved much of daily life online, legendary psychotherapist and bestselling author Irvin D. Yalom was forced to revolutionise his practice. Rather than rail against these changes, Dr Yalom turned his focus to what might be achieved between patient and practitioner in just a one-hour, one-time-only meeting.
In Hour of the Heart, Yalom recounts some of these intense, life-changing sessions, exploring an array of human predicaments and his own late-career development as a therapist. In recounting these consultations, he shows how a therapist's willingness to be open helps patients let down their own guards, leading to a deeper and more immediate connection - one necessary to achieving profound realisations in just sixty minutes.
Written in collaboration with his son, Hour of the Heart shows us how to relate to each other, with more honesty and vulnerability. That hour of connection helped to sustain both patient and therapist, and enriched Yalom's vision of what psychotherapy can do.
Why Do I Keep Doing This?
Many of us were told to stuff our feelings down when we were younger. We were taught that our emotional reactions should be controlled so we didn''t embarrass or upset our parents. However, if that control oozes over into our adult relationships, it''s considered a bad thing. Controlling our friends or romantic partners is seen as toxic. Some sides of control are meant to keep us safe, while others harm connections. So, what are we supposed to do?In Why Do I Keep Doing This? licensed therapist Kati Morton explores this common struggle. She shows how our anxiety is often connected to feeling like we are too much or less deserving of time and care. Difficulties with asserting ourselves, or taking what we require, can harm our development and we sometimes think the only way to feel okay is to please everyone else first. Why Do I Keep Doing This? is a vital tool in helping us understand why control can be so attractive, but if left unmonitored can become detrimental to our lives. We all go through tough times, but we have to notice what behaviours are holding us back and change them.Why Do I Keep Doing This? will shed light on shared struggles as readers follow Kati through key points of growth in her own life, while incorporating what she has learned as a therapist and content creator who knows how to create lasting healthy change. This book will give readers the ability to not only ask themselves why do I keep doing this? but also have the insight to find a real answer.

Growing Up Pure
Takes seriously youths' ownership of their sexual choices within purity cultureGaining mass popularity in the mid-1990s with the True Love Waits rally on the Washington Mall, purity culture began as an urge from evangelical conservatives for Christian adolescents to publicly commit to practicing abstinence until marriage. Throughout this decade and the next, millions of evangelical teenagers performed their commitment to sexual purity by signing pledges and wearing purity rings. This book examines the shaping of purity culture in the United States, looking specifically at the experiences of white youth. It shows that white girls and white queer youth were vulnerable to the purity movement, but that they were also complicit in its white supremacist oppressive structure. It makes the case that purity culture follows in the footsteps of other purity movements in the United States, and is very much tied to centuries of anti-Black racism and xenophobia in US social history, seeing white youth as in need of protection, usually from a racialized, sexualized other. While other works have focused on the ways in which purity culture has victimized young people, Sawyer argues that their perceived status as victims lets them too easily off the hook. White youth have been afforded the privilege of participating in purity culture's harmful behaviors without being called to account. Closely reading adolescents' stories of growing up in purity culture, she uncovers youth as agents, participants, and beneficiaries of its white supremacist framing, even as they were still vulnerable to its harmful teachings.
Imagine Doing Better
A bold vision for reimagining harmful public policies through prevention. Public policies in the United States are built on certain assumptions: that long-term prison sentences deter crime, that corporate profits benefit everyone, that police are the best way to ensure safety, and that meritocracy ensures equal opportunity. Yet, as public health expert Paul J. Fleming reveals, mountains of evidence show that many of these widely accepted policies cause harm, perpetuate inequities, and even lead to premature death. In Imagine Doing Better, Fleming offers a bold vision for change that's rooted in public health principles of prevention—addressing problems at their root before they occur. Combining rigorous research, historical analysis, and compelling narratives, he examines the deep flaws in policies governing health care, education, justice, and the environment. Fleming unpacks how these systems were built, why harmful assumptions persist, and how they can be reimagined to promote equity, sustainability, and human dignity. Fleming challenges readers to rethink entrenched ideas by exploring thought-provoking questions like "Are prisons a good investment?" and "Is education a ladder or a sieve?". He highlights how budgets and policies reflect moral choices, and he provides frameworks for advocacy and policymaking grounded in evidence and fairness. Fleming paints a hopeful—yet urgent—picture of what's possible when societies invest in solutions that prioritize human dignity, equity, and sustainability. Accessible and inspiring, Imagine Doing Better offers a hopeful roadmap to a future where all communities have the resources and opportunities to thrive.
The Worst Day
Dedicated to first responders and every person who steps up to act when it matters... More than 40 years before a Black Hawk helicopter collided mid-air with American Airlines Flight 5342 over the Potomac River, a desperate race against time took place nearby in overwhelming conditions. Washington, DC, was in the grips of a historic snowstorm on January 13, 1982 that gridlocked the city when Air Florida 90 crashes into a bridge jammed with traffic and plunges into the iced-over Potomac River. 6 people survive the crash, clinging to wreckage in the icy river as a Park Police helicopter risks a daring rescue in nearly whiteout conditions. As the rescue is taking place, DC''s Metro system suffers its first fatal derailment nearby, with dozens injured. In this page-turning drama, journalist and former firefighter/EMT Bruce Goldfarb recreates the harrowing struggles for survival and acts of incredible courage. Told through the eyes of survivors, firefighters, police, and bystanders, many of whom have never before shared their stories, Goldfarb explores the day''s impact on these participants as well as on the resulting aviation and transit safety measures that have protected us over the decades.
How Humor Helps
The judicious use of humor is often cited as the reason a new relationship began. It is also frequently recognized as the reason it has lasted. People like to be with others who make them laugh and who, in turn, enjoy their own humorous comments. Humor is an effective tool in nearly all settings, from formal interactions in the workplace to casual exchanges with strangers. How Humor Helps? informs its readers how to determine what is funny and what is not. Complicating the picture is that the appropriate use of humor has recently changed drastically in terms of topics and language. This book emphasizes the positive values of humor in many areas of life and how to deliver it effectively. Based on the scientific literature, the views of professional comedians, and our awareness of cultural changes, the autho? recommendations are all designed to affect major personal benefits to the reader. Maybe greater longevity, too, as the latest evidence is that strong social connections, facilitated by clever humor, actually can make people happier, self-confident, and even physically healthier. This book stresses the value of using humor in most areas of your life and how to do it successfully to garner the greatest benefits.
Laws of the Land
A groundbreaking history of fengshui’s roles in public life and law during China’s last imperial dynastyToday the term fengshui, which literally means “wind and water,” is recognized around the world. Yet few know exactly what it means, let alone its fascinating history. In Laws of the Land, Tristan Brown tells the story of the important roles—especially legal ones—played by fengshui in Chinese society during China’s last imperial dynasty, the Manchu Qing (1644–1912).Employing archives from Mainland China and Taiwan that have only recently become available, this is the first book to document fengshui’s invocations in Chinese law during the Qing dynasty. Facing a growing population, dwindling natural resources, and an overburdened rural government, judicial administrators across China grappled with disputes and petitions about fengshui in their efforts to sustain forestry, farming, mining, and city planning. Laws of the Land offers a radically new interpretation of these legal arrangements: they worked. An intelligent, considered, and sustained engagement with fengshui on the ground helped the imperial state keep the peace and maintain its legitimacy, especially during the increasingly turbulent decades of the nineteenth century. As the century came to an end, contentious debates over industrialization swept across the bureaucracy, with fengshui invoked by officials and scholars opposed to the establishment of railways, telegraphs, and foreign-owned mines.Demonstrating that the only way to understand those debates and their profound stakes is to grasp fengshui’s longstanding roles in Chinese public life, Laws of the Land rethinks key issues in the history of Chinese law, politics, science, religion, and economics.
A Csimpánzparadoxon
Előfordul, hogy érzelmi alapon döntesz? Gyorsan reagálsz, és később megbánod a viselkedésedet?
Ha igen, ez a könyv neked szól!
Prof. Peters elmélete szerint agyunkban egyszerre két ,,erő" szabályozza, hogyan döntünk és viselkedünk: az egyik érzelmi, irracionális alapon működik (ez evolúciós örökségünk), ő a Csimpánz; a másik racionális, logikai alapon, ő az Ember. Ők ketten folyamatosan harcolnak az irányításért. Belső Csimpánzunk a legjobb barátunk, de a halálos ellenségünk is lehet. Ez az, amit a szerző csimpánzparadoxonnak hív. Életed sikeres irányítása, a jó döntés, az eredményesség és a siker (szakmai téren és magánéletben egyaránt) mind-mind azon múlik, hogy képes vagy-e kezelni a benned élő Csimpánzot, azaz érzelmeidet, indulataidat, ösztöneidet, félelmeidet vagy a stresszhelyzeteket.
A gördülékeny stílusú, világos szerkezetű könyv interaktív jellegű: kérdések és gyakorlatok sorozata segít feltárni problémáidat és választ találni rájuk.
The Lost Road
In this genre defying book, author Sean McGrath explains why we must look more closely at our secular society’s religious roots to counteract the destructive spiritual forces consumerism has unleashed on the earth. Modernity, the author argues, is a Christian heresy. It can only be corrected through a religious conversion of Christians, post-Christians, and their children. What must be recovered is Christianity’s contemplative and mystical attitude — but it must be recovered in a non-nostalgic way that moves forward into the ecological civilization that is coming to painful birth in our time. The Lost Road is, in part, an autobiographical narrative that recounts a life-long search for contemplative Christianity, as well as an ongoing interrogation into why it’s so difficult to find, sustain, and share.
Regressive Illusions
Illusions are part of our everyday lives -?but it depends what kind of illusions are navigating us through our predicaments. Drawing on insights from critical theory and psychoanalysis, Florian Maiwald explores how multiple interconnected challenges force us to confront the illusions sustaining our societal norms. Maiwald argues that as collective illusions of progress crumble, we are not responding with innovative solutions but retreating into what he terms 'regressive illusions': backward-looking fantasies that quite often masquerade as progressive ideals. These illusions lead us not towards a brighter future but back into the shadows of the past. This book critically examines various manifestations of these regressive tendencies, including the rise of far-right politics, the contradictions of 'woke capitalism,'?and the decay of utopian thinking in the age of AI. Maiwald weaves together insights from philosophy, critical theory, and psychoanalysis to expose the underlying mechanisms of our current social and political malaise. More than a mere critique, Regressive Illusion? dvocates for understanding the necessity of certain illusions while calling for a renewed capacity for critical thinking in the face of crisis.
Neviditeľní vládcovia
Kniha Neviditeľní vládcovia rozpráva o radikálnej premene moci a o nových silách vplývajúcich na politické dianie, fungovanie samospráv, ale aj na naše vzťahy s priateľmi a susedmi. Dnes už verejnú mienku čoraz viac formujú malé skupiny propagandistov – tí neraz určujú aj to, ako vnímame samotnú pravdu. Naša spoločná realita sa rozpadla na množstvo oddelených svetov šitých na mieru, ktoré poháňajú algoritmy, influenceri a starostlivo vyberaný obsah. Len máločo dokáže preklenúť tieto priepasti, a tak sa stáva takmer nemožným dosiahnuť demokratický konsenzus.
Renée DiResta odhaľuje, ako títo „neviditeľní vládcovia“ podkopávajú inštitúcie, na ktorých stojí spoločnosť, či sú to protiočkovací aktivisti, ktorí zaplavujú sociálne siete extrémnymi názormi, alebo influenceri, ktorí využívajú fotografie generované umelou inteligenciou na manipuláciu nášho vnímania reality. Čitateľom zároveň ponúka novú predstavu občianskej zodpovednosti, ktorá nám pomáha pochopiť tieto skryté sily a brániť sa proti nim.

Winning the Earthquake
The first major biography of Jeannette Rankin, a groundbreaking suffragist, activist, and the first American woman to hold federal office.?Few members of Congress have ever stood more alone while being true to a higher honor and loyalty.??President John F. Kennedy on Jeannette RankinBorn on a Montana ranch in 1880, Jeannette Rankin knew how to drive a tractor, ride a horse, make a fire, and read the sky for weather. But most of all, she knew how to talk to people, how to convince them of her vision for America. It was this rare skill that led her, in 1916, to become the first woman ever elected to the House of Representatives.As her first act, Rankin introduced the legislation that would become the 19th Amendment. Throughout her two terms in 1916 and 1940, she continued to introduce and pass legislation benefitting unions, protecting workers, and increasing aid for children in poverty. In 1941, she stood tall as the sole anti-war voice in Congress during WWII, advocating for pacifism in the face of tragedy and stating that you can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.A suffragist, feminist, peace activist, workers'' rights advocate, progressive, and Republican, Rankin remained ever true to her beliefs?no matter the price she had to pay personally. Yet, despite the momentous steps she made for women in politics, overcoming the boys club of capitalists and career politicians who never wanted to see a woman in Congress, Jeannette Rankin?s story has been largely forgotten. In Winning the Earthquake, Lorissa Rinehart deftly uncovers the compelling history behind this singular American hero, bringing her story back to life.
Pharmako - Poeia, Dynamis, Gnosis
Pharmako je aktualizovaná kultovní knižní trilogie pro „rostlinné lidi“, kteří zde najdou nádhernou tapisérii botaniky, odborné chemie, farmakologie a historie, bohatě protkanou básnickou imaginací, sugestivní směsí logiky a mytologickou tradicí. Nebo jinak. Alchymistické pojednání psané člověkem, jenž se sám vydal na „cestu jedů“, a čtenáři tak předkládá prožitý a tajuplný svět rostlin a látek měnících lidské vědomí. Ještě jinak. Postmoderní čtení pro všechny ty, jimž učaroval např. Terence McKenna a kteří pokračují stále dále. Že by… Struktura knihy je třírozměrná a holografická. Začněte odkudkoli. Čtěte ji pozpátku. Knihy jsou od přirozenosti lineární, ale to je pouze jeden z možných pohledů — jiná propojení mohou být mnohem smysluplnější. Hm… „Cesta jedů“ není cesta pro každého, čtenář v knize nabyde „nebezpečné znalosti“, ty jsou však bezpečnější, než „nebezpečná neznalost“. Nakonec vám nezbyde, než se zamyslet nad otázkou propojení stimulantů a kapitalismu. Co? Ale jak říkal kdysi už Paracelsus „Všechno je jed, Nic je jed. Záleží na množství. Dílem alchymisty ale je, oddělit jed od stromu poznání“.
V první knize Pharmako/Poeia se dočtete o rostlinných spojencích rozdělených do skupin thanatopatika (Tabák, Jedovatice), inebrianty (Kvasinky, Pivo, Víno, Alkohol, Éter), rapsodika (Pelyněk » Calea), euforika (Mák, Opium, Heroin), pacifika (Kava kava), existenty (Šalvěj), evaestetika (Konopí) a metafyzika (Rajský plyn). Přistup, můj jede…
Ve druhé knize Pharmako/Dynamis se dočtete se o stimulantech, resp. excitantech (Káva, Čaj, Kakao, Maté, Kola, Betel, Efedra, Kata, Koka, Amfetamin) a empatogenech (Muškát, Extáze, GHB). Čekal jsem něco jiného…
Ve třetí knize Pharmako/Gnosis se dočtete o látkách zvaných fantastika (Povijnice, Lysohlávky, LSD, Jerlín, Peyotl, San Pedro, Ayahuasca, Jurema, Harmala, Ropuchy, Tryptaminy, DMT) a daimonika (Durman, Elementálové, Ketamin, Muchomůrka, Iboga). Je to taková nevyřčená věc…
Nakonec vám nezbyde, než se zamyslet nad něčím, co je za slovy: Zdá se, že Realita má nějakou hlubší strukturu, která má něco společného spíš s časem než se slovy.
