    The Narcissism Epidemic

    The Narcissism Epidemic

    Engels. Paperback, in zeer goede staat

    From the Publisher: Narcissism-a very positive and inflated view of the self-is everywhere. It's what you have if you're a politician and you've strayed from your wife, and it's why five times as many Americans undergo plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures today than did just ten years ago. It's the value that parents teach their children with song lyrics like "I am special. Look at me," the skill teenagers and young adults obsessively hone on Facebook and MySpace, and the reason high school students physically beat classmates and then broadcast their violence on YouTube for all to see. It's the message preached by prosperity gospel and the vacuous ethos spread by celebrity newsmakers. And it's what's making people depressed, lonely, and buried under piles of debt. Jean M. Twenge's influential and controversial first book, Generation Me, generated a national debate with its trenchant depiction of the challenges twenty-and thirtysomethings face emotionally and professionally in today's world-and the fallout these issues create for older generations as well as employers. Now, Dr. Twenge is on to a new incendiary topic that has repercussions for every age-group and class: the pernicious spread of narcissism in today's culture and its catastrophic effects. Dr. Twenge joins forces with W. Keith Campbell, Ph. D., a nationally recognized expert on narcissism, for The Narcissism Epidemic, their eye-opening exposition of the alarming rise of narcissism-and they show how to stop it. Every day, you encounter the real costs of narcissism: in your relationships and family, in the workplace and the economy at large, in schools that fail to teach necessary skills, in culture, and in politics. Even the world economy has been damaged by risky, unrealistic overconfidence. Filled with arresting anecdotes that illustrate the hold narcissism has on us today-from people hiring fake paparazzi in order to experience feeling famous to college students who won't leave a professor's office until their B+ becomes an A. The Narcissism Epidemic is at once a riveting window into the consequences of narcissism, a probing analysis of the culture at large, and a prescription to combat the widespread problems caused by narcissism. As a society, we have a chance to slow the epidemic of narcissism once we learn to identify it, minimize the forces that sustain and transmit it, and treat it where we find it. Drawing on their own extensive research as well as decades of other experts' studies, Drs. Twenge and Campbell show us how.

    Belonging Here

    Belonging Here

    Engels, gebonden met omslag, als nieuw

    Profound empathy. Clear insight. A gift for healing. These are just some of the talents of the “spiritually sensitive” person—yet these apparent blessings can often become a source of loneliness, self-doubt, and limitation. Belonging Here is a lifesaving book that shows how our spiritual gifts become entryways into both the depths of human connection and our innermost selves.

    Written by one spiritual sensitive for another, Belonging Here draws from Dr. Blackstone's personal story as well as her 30-year psychotherapy practice, which has focused on teaching clients how to integrate personal healing and spiritual awakening through an embodied approach she calls the Realization Process. Join this pioneering teacher to explore five of the most common challenges of the spiritually sensitive, along with exercises and meditations for living mindfully and compassionately with each, including:

    • Thin Skin—how to create strong but permeable boundaries between ourselves and the external environment
    • Landing on Earth—staying grounded within the whole of one's body by mending inner fragmentation
    • Hearing the Cries of the World—how to open to our own joy even as we respond to the suffering in the world around us
    • Shape Shifters—removing the protective masks of the false personality
    • The Stranger—how to make the return from self-exile to self-acceptance

    You can live authentically in a world that once seemed alien. You can find happiness and acceptance where isolation and confusion have reigned. You can come home at last, with Belonging Here.

    Bounded Rationality....

    Bounded Rationality. The adaptive toolbox

    Engels. Paperback, in zeer goede staat

    In a complex and uncertain world, humans and animals make decisions under the constraints of limited knowledge, resources, and time. Yet models of rational decision making in economics, cognitive science, biology, and other fields largely ignore these real constraints and instead assume agents with perfect information and unlimited time. About forty years ago, Herbert Simon challenged this view with his notion of "bounded rationality." Today, bounded rationality has become a fashionable term used for disparate views of reasoning.

    This book promotes bounded rationality as the key to understanding how real people make decisions. Using the concept of an "adaptive toolbox," a repertoire of fast and frugal rules for decision making under uncertainty, it attempts to impose more order and coherence on the idea of bounded rationality. The contributors view bounded rationality neither as optimization under constraints nor as the study of people's reasoning fallacies. The strategies in the adaptive toolbox dispense with optimization and, for the most part, with calculations of probabilities and utilities. The book extends the concept of bounded rationality from cognitive tools to emotions; it analyzes social norms, imitation, and other cultural tools as rational strategies; and it shows how smart heuristics can exploit the structure of environments.

    If Life Is a Game,...

    If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules

    Engels. Halflinnen gebonden met omslag,18 x 14,5 cm., in zeer goede staat

    Learn the rules of life to conquer any challenge, manage unpredictable ups and downs, and become a satisfied and well-adjusted person.

    We all know the feeling: In the game of life, why am I the only one who doesn't know how to play? But now, help is at hand, because this wonderful little book will teach you the rules so that you can conquer life's challenges and manage its unpredictable ups and downs.

    For one of her workshops several years ago, Chérie Carter-Scott, a corporate trainer and consultant, composed a list of basic truths about life, which she named "The Ten Rules for Being Human." Right away, the Rules resonated with her clients, who photocopied and passed the list to friends and relatives. Within months, Chérie's Rules were in thousands of homes all over the country, and eventually, they were published in Chicken Soup for the Soul and have also appeared in Ann Landers' column. Although there's no formula to help you win the game of life, Chérie's Rules convey a universal wisdom that, once understood and embraced, can contribute to meaningful relationships with ourselves and others, at work and in the home.

    In If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules, Chérie shares that there are no mistakes in life, only lessons that are repeated. In thoughtful, inspirational essays illustrated with encouraging personal anecdotes, she includes the lessons that can be learned from each of the Rules and offers insights on self-esteem, respect, acceptance, forgiveness, ethics, compassion, humility, gratitude, and courage. Best of all, Chérie shows that wisdom lies inside each one of us and that by putting the Ten Rules for Being Human into action we can create a more fulfilling life.

    Spiritualiteit en...

    Spiritualiteit en Energie: de Kundalini-Kwestie

    Iets dikkere paperback, 1x gelezen, geen naam voorin, geen aantekeningen, wel een paar kleine leesvouwtjes in de rug, in goede staat.

    Verhandeling over bewuste energiehuishouding en spiritualiteit vanuit het Indiase Kundaliniconcept. Gezondheid en spiritualiteit hebben alles te maken met energie. In ons bekken bevindt zich een bron van sterk geconcentreerde kracht, in India Kundalini genoemd. Op de juiste wijze circulerend draagt zij bij aan bewust- en heelwording. Maar dezelfde energie kan ook ernstige psychische en lichamelijke ontregelingen teweegbrengen. 

    De achtergrond ligt vaak in een ongeluk(je), zoals een val op het staartbeen. Of in heftige emoties, een psychotrauma of uitputting. Maar ook een onjuiste beoefening van yoga, meditatie of andere vormen van bewustzijnstraining kan tot grillige kundalini-problemen leiden. 
    Dit boek bevat 15 persoonlijke verhalen van ervaringsdeskundigen, onder wie de auteurs zelf. Over raadselachtige kwalen waarvoor vaak geen organische oorzaak is te vinden, tot en met psychiatrische stoornissen. Maar ook over paranormale en spirituele ervaringen waardoor je onnodig van slag kunt raken. 
    De auteurs geven nuttige hints om je energieproces in harmonie te brengen, gebaseerd op ruime praktijkervaring en kennis van de regelen der kunst. Bovenal biedt het boek een voor velen nieuw perspectief op spiritualiteit met beide benen op de grond: een heldere visie op energie, genezing en creatieve zelfverwerkelijking.
