Jak jednat s rozhněvanými lidmi
Okolnosti, během nichž se v běžném životě setkáváme s rozzlobenými jedinci, jsou dvojího typu. Může jít o jednorázové situace, kdy se na nás rozčílí někdo cizí, anebo se jedná o jedince se vznětlivou povahou, který má v našem životě pevné místo – nadřízený, životní partner, sourozenec, rodič nebo i potomek. Kniha vám pomůže takovýmto lidem lépe porozumět a komunikovat s nimi tak, aby to bylo přínosné a zbytečně vás to nevyčerpávalo.
Existuje rozdíl mezi hněvem a agresí. Osoby, s nimiž komunikujete a které jsou rozzlobené, možná nejsou vůči vám (nebo jiným osobám) útočné, ale vy se v jejich přítomnosti nemusíte cítit dobře. Je dobré si uvědomit, že hněv může být nejen stav, ale i povahová vlastnost. A také to, že prchliví lidé nemusí být nutně zlí.
První část knihy se zaměřuje na porozumění lidem, kteří prožívají hněv. Autor se v ní zabývá různými typy osobnosti, ale i biologickými faktory, emočním vývojem, šířením emocí a myšlenkovými vzorci. Každá kapitola pak přináší praktické rady.
Ve druhé části najdete deset konkrétních postupů pro efektivní zvládání situací s rozzlobenými lidmi:
1. Jak zjistit, co vy opravdu chcete
2. Jak si zachovat klid a vyrovnanost
3. Jak rozpoznat různé podoby hněvu
4. Jak porozumět hněvu z pohledu druhé osoby
5. Jak poznat, kdy je něčí hněv oprávněný
6. Jak jednat s těmi, kteří nekomunikují
7. Jak účinně zvládat hněv v online prostředí
8. Jak se vyhnout osobním útokům
9. Jak poznat, kdy je čas se stáhnout
10. Jak kombinovat různé přístupy
Všechno dokreslují příklady z reálného života
Štítná žláza a emoce
Tato unikátní publikace pojednává o souvislostech mezi štítnou žlázou a emocemi. Erudovaně, odborně, avšak zároveň způsobem fascinujícím i pro laika vysvětluje, jak přesně tato souvislost funguje a co to znamená pro pochopení nesmírně důležité funkce tohoto orgánu, jakož i problémů spojených s jejím narušeným fungováním.
Jean du Chazaud je zakladatelem takzvané endokrinopsychologie. Je přesvědčený, že lidské emoce jsou podmíněny naší hormonální rovnováhou, zatímco stres působí recipročně i na funkce štítné žlázy. Zdůrazňuje, že štítná žláza je žlázou emocí. Právě ona přijímá a řídí naše emoce a poté informuje mozek. Díky ní nám funguje inteligence, psychika je schopná se přizpůsobovat situacím, se kterými se setkáváme, a právě ona nás nutí vyjadřovat radost, smutek, hněv či strach.
Uvedené poznatky se mohou stát východiskem pro další zkoumání a také zdrojem naděje pro tisíce lidí, kteří trpí, protože jejich vnitřní poruchy a náhlé změny duševního stavu nejsou pochopeny.
Kromě jiného zde najdete podrobné pojednání o emocích z psychologického, lékařského i filozofického hlediska a také rozbor některých psychosomatických nemocí, jako je vysoký (nebo naopak nízký) krevní tlak, nemoci srdce, nebo dokonce závislosti.
The Stimulated Mind
We take care of our hearts and joints as we age - but what about our brains?
With people struggling to focus, and dementia and Alzheimer's on the rise, Dr Wood offers a bold, empowering message: our brains are not destined to decline. In fact, with the right stimulus, they can adapt, strengthen and even improve over time.
In THE STIMULATED MIND, Dr Wood introduces his science-backed '3-S Model' - Stimulation, Sleep and Nutrient Supply - as the foundation for lifelong brain health. Forget expensive supplements or rigid 'biohacks'. Instead, Dr Wood focuses on the everyday factors that truly matter: how we eat, move, sleep, connect with others and handle stress.
Blending cutting-edge neuroscience with his work coaching elite athletes and professionals, Dr Wood offers a deeply practical, optimistic roadmap for cognitive longevity - helping us not just protect our brains from decline, but expand our mental capacity as we age.
Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf
A spoiled heiress.
A grumpy werewolf.
How could an accidental marriage possibly go wrong?
Welcome to Claw Haven, Alaska - where monsters go to find some peace and quiet …
Spoiled heiress Luna Stack is meant to be sipping mai tais on a beach. But when she crashes (literally) into Claw Haven in a snowstorm, no one is prepared for her to up-end everything.
Oliver Musgrove brought his werewolf pack to Claw Haven to hide. The last thing he needs is a magical mate-bond with Luna after both accidentally drinking a potion - someone who doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word 'boundaries' and won't stop smiling, dammit.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Oliver wants to keep his distance from Luna, the bond keeps pulling them back together. Can they break the bond for good? Or will they give in to the magical spark between them?
The Names
It is 1987, and in the aftermath of a great storm, Cora sets out with her nine-year-old daughter to register the birth of her son. Her husband intends for her to follow a long-standing family tradition and call the baby after him. But when faced with the decision, Cora hesitates. Going against his wishes is a risk that will have consequences, but is it right for her child to inherit his name from generations of domineering men? The choice she makes in this moment will shape the course of their lives.
Seven years later, her son is Bear, a name chosen by his sister, and one that will prove as cataclysmic as the storm from which it emerged. Or he is Julian, the name his mother set her heart on, believing it will enable him to become his own person. Or he is Gordon, named after his father and raised in his cruel image - but is there still a chance to break the mould?
Powerfully moving and full of hope, this is the story of three names, three versions of a life, and the infinite possibilities that a single decision can spark. It is the story of one family, and love's endless capacity to endure, no matter what fate has in store.
The Algorithm
Jonathan McNeill had already founded and sold six startups when Sheryl Sandberg introduced him to Elon Musk, who was looking for help at Tesla. McNeill was steeped in the lean principles that had made Toyota a global powerhouse principles focused on achieving efficiency and optimization by incrementally improving existing systems and processes. What he learned from Elon at Tesla was its antithesis, an approach that required radical rethinking to explode the status quo, attack complexity, and set seemingly unrealistic goals.
Elon called this five-step framework The Algorithm.
1. Question every requirement.
2. Delete every possible step in the process.
3. Simplify and optimize.
4. Accelerate cycle time.
5. Automate.
In this book, McNeill details this tremendously powerful set of tools, which brought Tesla from a production crisis that threatened to derail it to a period of hypergrowth.
During his tenure, revenue boomed from $2B to $20B in just 30 months. Since his departure from Tesla, McNeill has used The Algorithm in every enterprise he has worked with to supercharge speed, efficiency, innovation, and growth. Featuring case studies from Tesla and SpaceX, as well as from Lululemon, GM, and companies of various sizes across industries, he reveals how any business can do the same and achieve the unimaginable.
