Existuje Boh, v ktorého verím?


Ako je možné, že jeden verí v Boha a veci sa mu v živote pekne ukladajú, a druhý verí, a takmer nič mu nevychádza? Prečo sa niekto modlí, a nevie sa vymaniť zo sietí, do ktorých sa zamotal, a iný sa modlí a dokáže pred nimi uniknúť? Čo je to za vieru, ktorá niekoho premieňa k dobrému a iného nezmení? Nie je viera ako viera… Na stránkach najnovšieho knižného titulu z edície Viera do vrecka s názvom Existuje Boh, v ktorého verím? nájdeme niekoľko obrazov Boha, ktorého človek nosí v hlave, a vôbec nevie o tom, že je to iba fikcia, výmysel. Môžeme však spoznať aj Boha, ktorý túži po vzťahu s človekom, aby mu daroval účasť na svojom živote a premieňal ho na svojho syna, dcéru. Samozrejme, ak to človek chce.

Axis of Empire


Ironic plot twists and colorful characters abound in Afshin Matin-Asgari's accessible history of relations between the United States and Iran. The missionaries and educators who descended on Iran in the early nineteenth century made way for the next century's oilmen, CIA agents, scholars, and arms dealers in the assertion of US imperial priorities. Whether Iran resisted or succumbed to US interests, it couldn't fail to be shaped by the superpower. Matin-Asgari offers fresh takes on familiar topics: America's rise as a Middle East hegemon during the Cold War; the special relationship between Washington and the shah; the Iranian Revolution and hostage crisis; the Iran-Iraq war; the Islamic Republic's peculiar anti-imperialism; the decades of onerous American sanctions; Israel's intervention in Iran-US relations; the ascendance of Trump; and the 2025 attempt by the United States and Israel to bring regime change to Tehran. A labyrinthine tale of American imperial misadven­tures, Axis of Empire incorporates and challenges scholarly narratives while offering a sophisticated yet highly readable account of Iran-US history.

Lélek-konyha


Milyen a kapcsolatod saját magaddal? Vajon vigyázol a belső énedre? Olyan lelki és fizikai táplálékkal támogatod, melyet nem csak elfogyasztani jó, de belegondolni is az? Hogyan gondoskodsz és vélekedsz magadról? Mennyire tiszteled a testedet, és mire tanított az eddig megtett utad? Mára esetleg elbizonytalanodtál? Túl sok az információ, kevés a kapaszkodó? Változtatni szeretnél – csak nem tudod, hol kezdd el? A „Lélek-konyha” segít fokozatosan ráérezni, mire van igazán szükséged. Gyakorlati példák, inspiráló gondolatok, használható tanácsok és világkonyhán edződött élettapasztalat vezet végig a saját „gasztroutadon”. Olvasmányosan, könnyedén, néha némi humort sem nélkülözve fogalmazódnak meg mély összefüggések, fontos információk és lényeges kérdések. A szerző nyíltan beszél az önismeret és az életmódváltás rögös útján szerzett saját tanulságairól, sikereiről és kudarcairól. Személyes hangvételben támogat abban, hogy megtalálj egy számodra pozitív, új irányt. Minden változás egy felismeréssel kezdődik, melyhez néha egy kanál tudatosság többet ér, mint száz szabály. A könyv nem akar meggyőzni egy újabb módszerről, inkább elkísér egy folyamatban. Lehet, hogy ennek következtében megújul az élet- és gondolkodásmódod, ezáltal belülről is megerősödve sokkal jobban fogod érezni magad a testedben. Ez nem fogyókúra, hanem áthangolás. A valódi átalakulás a lelkünkben kezdődik.

The Fear of the Feminine


An insightful exploration of the unconscious fear of the feminine by a pioneering Jungian psychologistErich Neumann was one of C. G. Jung’s most brilliant students and a renowned practitioner of analytical psychology in his own right. This landmark book brings together five of his most illuminating essays on feminine psychology. Neumann discusses the psychological stages of woman’s development, the moon and matriarchal consciousness, Mozart’s Magic Flute, the meaning of the earth archetype for modern times, and the fear of the feminine. He sees in Mozart’s fantastical realm a clash and true coming to terms of the matriarchal and patriarchal worlds. Reflecting a timely concern about the one-sidedness of patriarchal Western civilization, The Fear of the Feminine explains why a synthesis of the feminine and the masculine in the psychic reality of both the individual and the collective is one of the fundamental tasks of contemporary society.

The Origins and History of Consciousness


A landmark account of the evolution of consciousness by one of the twentieth century’s leading Jungian psychologistsThis book draws on a full range of world mythology to show how individual consciousness undergoes the same archetypal stages of development as human consciousness as a whole. Erich Neumann, one of C. G. Jung’s most creative students and a renowned practitioner of analytical psychology in his own right, shows how the stages begin and end with the symbol of the Uroboros, the tail-eating serpent. The intermediate stages are projected in the universal myths of the World Creation, the Great Mother, the Separation of the World Parents, the Birth of the Hero, the Slaying of the Dragon, the Rescue of the Captive, and the Transformation and Deification of the Hero. Neumann traces how, throughout this sequence, the Hero is the evolving ego consciousness. With a foreword by Jung, The Origins and History of Consciousness is an eloquent and enduring meditation on myth and the human psyche.

Worlds of Islam


From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.

The Great Mother


A landmark account of the Great Mother as a primordial image of the human psycheIn this book, renowned analytical psychologist Erich Neumann draws on ritual, mythology, art, and records of dreams and fantasies to examine how the archetype of the Great Mother has been outwardly expressed in many cultures and periods since prehistory. He shows how the feminine has been represented as goddess, monster, gate, pillar, tree, moon, sun, vessel, and every animal from snakes to birds. Neumann discerns a universal experience of the maternal as both nurturing and fearsome, an experience rooted in the dialectical relation of growing consciousness, symbolized by the child, to the unconscious and the unknown, symbolized by the Great Mother. With a foreword by Martin Liebscher, The Great Mother is a profound and enduring work by one of the most brilliant thinkers of the twentieth century.

Gaza


It’s 1 am in central Gaza, and emergency physician Salman Khalid is jolted awake by a text message that simply says, 'mass casualty.' As part of a three-member team providing care at al-Aqsa Hospital, he rushes to the scene, where he is greeted by a heartbreaking sight—a family of five siblings, all under 18, suffering from horrific injuries after their tent in a designated humanitarian zone was bombed while they slept. This despairing reality is a daily occurrence in Gaza, where innocent civilians suffer under the violence of settler colonialism. In Gaza: A Doctor’s Diary, Salman Khalid offers a poignant and deeply personal journal of his month-long volunteer mission in Gaza. Over the course of September 2024, he captures the stark realities of life in a war zone, revealing the harrowing conditions faced by patients and medical professionals alike. With unflinching honesty, he reflects on the trauma, tragedy, resilience, and humanity that persist amid destruction and violence. This firsthand account of the brutality of the genocide in Gaza invites readers to witness the power of compassion in the face of unimaginable horror. All profits from the book will be donated to Humanity Auxilium, an American and Canadian NGO that is one of 25 organisations worldwide that have paired with the WHO to get people and supplies into Gaza.

The Philosopher’s Ring—Wagner as Thinker and Dramatist


Presents Wagner as a serious philosopher and offers a fresh perspective on the Ring and its unique fusion of myth, human drama, and philosophical insight. Few figures of the nineteenth century were more influential than Richard Wagner, and few works of art have the scope and historical significance of The Ring of the Nibelung. Wagner himself said that it expressed his entire philosophy of life. Yet little attention has been paid to him as a philosopher, aesthetic theories aside. Instead, the Ring has been viewed in the light of Schopenhauer, Feuerbach, or even Hegel. Wagner's own ideas do not deserve this neglect, and this book addresses that omission. It starts with the more widely read philosophers of his day, such as Fichte; in their context Wagner's often fragmentary thoughts reveal a coherent "materialist idealism" that constitutes a late but significant contribution to Classical German philosophy. His acute social and psychological insights are still relevant, and so is the philosophical history that he saw prefigured in Greek tragedy. Wagner's philosophy also illuminates the structure of the Ring and offers fresh insights into the characters and conflicts of that endlessly interpretable work. Approachable and engagingly written, balancing narrative, philosophical analysis, and a detailed consideration of the Ring's four music dramas, The Philosopher's Ring shows the cycle to be a work of unparalleled philosophical depth, one reason that it continues to challenge audiences even now, a century and a half after its premiere.

Nalaď sa na radosť


Cítiť radosť v ťažkom období? Po prežití traumatickej udalosti? Keď sme po krk v problémoch? V hlave nám víria pochmúrne myšlienky, svet sa zdá bezfarebný, život bezútešný a pripadá nám, že nič iné ako temnota neexistuje. Keď je nám ťažko, máme tendenciu pozitívne pocity nevnímať, dokonca ich odmietať. Napriek tomu výskumy dokazujú, že postoje ako odolnosť, radosť, vďačnosť, nádej a ochota ísť ďalej aj po prežití traumatickej udalosti sú liečivé. No pokiaľ ide o využívanie týchto nástrojov v praxi, psychológia zúfalo zaostáva. Priekopníčkou v tejto oblasti je práve autorka knihy Nalaď sa na radosť. Uznávaná psychologička MaryCatherine McDonald vytvorila koncept zakorenený v neurobiológii pre všetkých, ktorí sa snažia na život nazerať s radosťou. Prichádza s návodom, ako v živote v akejkoľvek situácii nachádzať uhly pohľadu, ktoré temnotu nepopierajú, skôr z nej krok za krokom ukazujú cestu von. Pomáha identifikovať bariéry, ktoré nám v tom bránia, a definuje pozitívne emócie, ktoré k nám prichádzajú v najtemnejších chvíľach a tvoria samotný prazáklad psychickej odolnosti.

Zmeňte otázky, zmeňte svoj život


Každému z nás v hlave denne víria desiatky otázok, ktorými reagujeme na vzniknuté situácie. Nie vždy ich formulujeme vedome. Niekedy nám ich nadiktujú emócie, predsudky či minulé skúsenosti. A každá z nich nás v myslení a následnom správaní nasmeruje k iným výsledkom. Ak sa po rozchode či nepodarenej prezentácii v práci pýtate sami seba „Čo je so mnou zle?“, očakávajte úplne iné odpovede (a vnútorné naladenie) ako pri „Ako sa z toho môžem poučiť?“. Dr. Marilee Adamsová v tejto knihe ukazuje, ako pracovať s otázkami tak, aby sa stali zdrojom riešení, zvedavosti a rastu. Prostredníctvom príbehu Bena Knighta, s ktorým sa ľahko stotožníte, sa zoznámite s mapou výberu – jednoduchou, no mimoriadne efektívnou pomôckou – a s dvanástimi účinnými nástrojmi overenej metodológie otázkového myslenia. Spolu s Benom sa naučíte sledovať svoje okamžité reakcie s odstupom, správne ich interpretovať a pomocou „prechodných“ otázok prejsť zo zväzujúceho nastavenia sudcu na cestu študenta. Takáto zmena myslenia otvára priestor pre lepšie rozhodnutia, tvorivosť a zásadné posuny – v práci, vo vzťahoch aj v osobnom živote. Štvrté, rozšírené vydanie medzinárodného bestselleru prináša aj nové poznatky z neurovied o zvládaní stresu a strachu, prenesené do praktických stratégií.

Is Inequality the Problem?


A data-rich analysis that will reshape our understanding of how rising income inequality has actually affected societies in the industrialized world.Increasing economic inequality is now one of the most studied subjects in the social sciences. The general view is that while its increase represents a bad social outcome in and of itself, its negative impact extends into numerous other realms of social life: declines in living standards for those in the lower deciles of the income ladder, worse health outcomes, reductions in happiness, and less opportunity for most.In Is Inequality the Problem?, Lane Kenworthy draws from a vast trove of research on the rich democracies to argue that while inequality is normatively a problem and we should therefore work to reduce it, the evidence from wealthier countries does not show that income inequality has contributed much at all to the other social ills it is associated with, like poor health outcomes. The effects vary from society to society, but typically the key contributors to negative trends like this one are factors other than inequality. Instead of trying to improve living standards, democracy, opportunity, health, and happiness indirectly via reduction in income inequality or wealth inequality, policy makers are more likely to make progress by pursuing these goals directly.This contrarian yet balanced account of one of the main social problems of our era will reshape our understanding of how rising economic inequality has affected societies in the industrialized world.

The Maternal Contract


In the Americas, organized state violence takes many forms--from forced disappearance and feminicide to extralegal killings, mass incarceration, and illegal detention. In response, mothers'' organizations and collectives emerged in the 1970s to advocate for their disappeared, imprisoned, and murdered relatives. These organizations fight long and challenging battles for state and corporate accountability, demanding the creation of truth commissions, national memory archives, memory sites, and victim-oriented legislation. By implementing alternative caretaking mechanisms on behalf of survivors and victims, mothers'' organizations have become powerful actors against organized state violence, structural inequalities, and political abandonment. In The Maternal Contract, Elva F. Orozco Mendoza traces the mobilization of mothers'' organizations against organized state violence in the Americas. Drawing on the insights and work of four mothers'' organizations--Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo, Las Madres de Chihuahua, Colectivo Solecito, and Mothers Reclaiming Our Children, Orozco Mendoza introduces a novel theoretical framework, "the maternal contract," to illustrate how these organizations create and advance their own caretaking structures in the absence of substantive political rights and representation. While these organizations emerged in different times and geographies, Orozco Mendoza argues that they are linked by a powerful commitment to protect subaltern social groups and marginalized subjects against a violence-driven apparatus that disregards human life and dignity. In so doing, she draws attention to the caretaking practices, initiatives, and responsibilities that mothers'' organizations adopt to counter chronic violence and collective suffering.
