Stumbling on Happiness
by Daniel Gilbert* Why are lovers quicker to forgive their partners for infidelity than for leaving dirty dishes in the sink?* Why will sighted people pay more to avoid going blind than blind people will pay to regain their sight? * Why do dining companions insist on ordering different meals instead of getting what they really want? * Why do pigeons seem to have such excellent aim; why can't we remember one song while listening to another; and why does the line at the grocery store always slow down the moment we join it?In this brilliant, witty, and accessible book, renowned Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert describes the foibles of imagination and illusions of foresight that cause each of us to misconceive our tomorrows and misestimate our satisfactions. Vividly bringing to life the latest scientific research in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, and behavioral economics, Gilbert reveals what scientists have discovered about the uniquely human ability to imagine the future, and about our capacity to predict how much we will like it when we get there. With penetrating insight and sparkling prose, Gilbert explains why we seem to know so little about the hearts and minds of the people we are about to become.From the Trade Paperback edition.
What Doesn't Kill Us: How Freezing Water, Extreme Altitude, and Environmental Conditioning Will Renew Our Lost Evolutionary Strength
by Scott CarneyWhat Doesn't Kill Us, a New York Times bestseller, traces our evolutionary journey back to a time when survival depended on how well we adapted to the environment around us. Our ancestors crossed deserts, mountains, and oceans without even a whisper of what anyone today might consider modern technology. Those feats of endurance now seem impossible in an age where we take comfort for granted. But what if we could regain some of our lost evolutionary strength by simulating the environmental conditions of our ancestors? Investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney takes up the challenge to find out: Can we hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology? Helping him in his search for the answers is Dutch fitness guru Wim Hof, whose ability to control his body temperature in extreme cold has sparked a whirlwind of scientific study. Carney also enlists input from an Army scientist, a world-famous surfer, the founders of an obstacle course race movement, and ordinary people who have documented how they have cured autoimmune diseases, lost weight, and reversed diabetes. In the process, he chronicles his own transformational journey as he pushes his body and mind to the edge of endurance, a quest that culminates in a record-bending, 28-hour climb to the snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro wearing nothing but a pair of running shorts and sneakers.An ambitious blend of investigative reporting and participatory journalism, What Doesn’t Kill Us explores the true connection between the mind and the body and reveals the science that allows us to push past our perceived limitations.

75 Beats to a Happy Heart
by Jackie Madden HaughAs a little girl, Jackie Madden Haugh was taught by her parents that there were two types of heartbeats: one that served as the life force within the physical frame, sending blood and oxygen to all parts of the body, and another that resided in the spirit, a mystical pulse that nourished the soul. But, it wasn’t until Jackie became a caregiver to both her parents in their declining years, and suffered through a divorce, hat she discovered the true way to feed the soul was by living a life in constant gratitude. Being thankful for all the wonders in life is easy, that takes no effort. But, when we’re appreciative for the challenges and heartbreaks thrown our way, for those are our lessons, we’re lead down the winding road to our great becoming; who we were born to be. 75 Beats to a Happy Heart are universal inspirational, funny, and tender short stories from Jackie’s column in the Los Altos Town Crier. By looking for joy in the minutia of her days; those special moments that make a heart pause and reflect, Jackie found the rhythmic, spiritual tapping, that beating pulse that nurtured and fed her soul.

You Can Be Healed
by Clara PalmerIn this eloquent Christian book, Clara Palmer reminds us of the blessings of the human body and of the deep appreciation for the mysteries of the human spirit.“Because I was healed through prayer although my condition had been termed hopeless, because I have personally witnessed the healing of incurable diseases and have read letters from hundreds who have been restored to health, I know that you can be healed.“Silent Unity prayed with me. Jesus Christ restored me. The workers in Silent Unity will pray with you without ceasing if you will write to them. They will answer your letter and instruct you in the way of Truth so that you may know the fullness of life, harmony, and light that are yours in Christ.“Much of this book was originally published as articles in Weekly Unity. Many readers reported receiving benefits from the healing blessings and requested their publication in book form. Their names, love, appreciation, and prayers, although invisible, are interwoven into every chapter. May God eternally bless them, and you too, with His healing life and wholeness.”

Virus of the Mind: The New Science Of The Meme
by Richard BrodieVirus of the Mind is the first popular book devoted to the science of memetics, a controversial new field that transcends psychology, biology, anthropology, and cognitive science. Memetics is the science of memes, the invisible but very real DNA of human society. In Virus of the Mind, Richard Brodie carefully builds on the work of scientists Richard Dawkins, Douglas Hofstadter, Daniel Dennett, and others who have become fascinated with memes and their potential impact on our lives. But Richard goes beyond science and dives into the meat of the issue: is the emergence of this new science going to have an impact on our lives like the emergence of atomic physics did in the Cold War? He would say the impact will be at least as great. While atomic bombs affect everybody’s life, viruses of the mind touch lives in a more personal and more pernicious way. Mind viruses have already infected governments, educational systems, and inner cities, leading to some of the most pervasive and troublesome problems of society today: youth gangs, the welfare cycle, the deterioration of the public schools, and ever?growing government bureaucracy. Viruses of the mind are not a future worry: they are here with us now and are evolving to become better and better at their job of infecting us. The recent explosion of mass media and the information superhighway has made the earth a prime breeding ground for viruses of the mind. Will there be a mental plague? Will only some of us survive with our free will intact? Richard Brodie weaves together science, ethics, and current events as he raises these and other very disturbing questions about memes.

Le travail des constellations familiales et l'argent
by Marc Baco« Pourquoi moi ? Pourquoi est-ce que j’ai toujours des problèmes d’argent, et pas mon frère ou ma sœur ? » Peut-être vous êtes-vous déjà posé cette question, sans parvenir à une réponse satisfaisante. Dans ce livre, Marc Baco vous invite à le rejoindre pour un intéressant et révélateur voyage dans les profondeurs des enjeux de notre âme, selon la perspective des constellations familiales, sur la question de la dette et du manque d'argent. Le système familial désigne généralement un membre de la famille pour attirer l’attention sur un déséquilibre. Cette personne apportera une « compensation absolue » à ce dernier, bien qu’elle ne soit pas particulièrement bien placée pour résoudre un problème spécifique — il s’agit en fait d’un choix complètement arbitraire et aléatoire. En procédant de cette manière, la famille crée un équilibre stable — au détriment d’un individu. L'auteur espère que vous trouverez, dans cette présentation d'exemples vécus et concrets, des pistes pour répondre à vos questions et dénouer vos problématiques, pour une maîtrise en conscience des blocages financiers et des dettes.
O Pardal no Espelho
by Kunal Narayan UniyalDesde o ato de desobediência, o homem debateu-se desde sempre com o seu maior adversário, o seu ego. Quanto mais cede ao ego, mais obtém do seu eu divino.As suas motivações materialistas, a sua avidez pelo poder e a indiferença alienam-no e isolam-no.Reduzido à escravatura pelo ego, o homem compraz-se no falso orgulho, na falsa glória e na falsa segurança.A avidez nunca termina.A sede nunca está saciada.O espírito permanece inquieto.O coração fervilha na tempestade.As nuvens dissipam a sabedoria e a sede humana é ávida de jsutificações.Contudo, o Senhor benevolente tem um plano magistral.Possuímos todos um reino interior.No momento em que iniciamos a viagem rumo ao interior, a névoa começa a dissipar-se rumo à alvorada da sabedoria infinita.Todos os barulhos cessam e a calma invade o ser.A verdadeira alegria que jorra do caração conduz à paz, harmonia e equilíbrio.

397 Suggerimenti E Idee Per Scrivere Un Diario (The Blokehead Series)
by The Blokehead Erica ScalaScrivere un diario è fondamentalmente l’atto di registrare i propri pensieri e sentimenti, appuntandoli su base quotidiana. Quest’arte ormai è diffusa da centinaia di anni, ed è stata utilizzata dalla maggior parte delle persone per attenuare lo stress ed esprimere se stessi. Uno dei diari più famosi è quello di Samuel Pepys, un amministratore della marina del XVII secolo, che considerò importante scrivere ciò che accadeva durante la sua vita, dai suoi sentimenti personali a eventi importanti che non solo coinvolgevano lui, ma anche il mondo intero. Questi eventi comprendono la guerra Anglo-Olandese, la Restaurazione della Monarchia Inglese, e perfino il Grande Incendio e la Grande Peste di Londra. Oggi, una biblioteca di Cambridge porta il suo nome.
Conociendote A Ti Mismo. Secretos Para El Éxito En La Vida Y En Los Negocios
by Adidas WilsonManténgase alejado de personas tóxicas y negativas. Ellos son los llamados vampiros de sueños. Ellos harán todo lo posible para detenerte. Me quedé dormido y me salí de un puente en un camión de 18 ruedas. Aterrizó en las vías y fue atropellado por el tren. Terminé rompiéndome la espalda y usé muletas durante dos años. ¡Pero todavía no me rendí! A veces nuestras metas tardarán cinco años o incluso diez años. Pero eventualmente sus sueños se harán realidad. El éxito es como la droga más potente en la tierra. ¡Quiero ser tan exitoso que literalmente puedo probar las estrellas! Un trabajo se acaba de romper, no me siento cómodo trabajando para otra persona, no me siento cómodo haciendo el trabajo de otra persona. Es una mentalidad, lo que sea que esté dentro de ti debe empujarte a convertirte en el "Maestro de ti mismo". "Hombre, conócete a ti mismo, y vas a conocer a los dioses". Proverbio egipcio "Cuando quieras triunfar tanto como quieras respirar, serás exitoso". Eric Thomas
33 Estratégias do Kama Sutra: Faça-a gritar - durar mais tempo
by Adidas WilsonEntre as coisas mais vulneráveis que podem se desgastar com o tempo é a intimidade. A maioria dos casais passa por momentos difíceis e compromissos que afetam sua intimidade. Na maioria dos casos, quando o afeto se aplica entre os amantes, uma pessoa é geralmente afetada em relação à outra. Se algum dos parceiros não tomar a iniciativa de restaurar a intimidade no relacionamento, é provável que o seu relacionamento acabe quebrando quando um ou ambos buscam intimidade de fora. Acredita-se que o corpo humano é uma pequena fábrica atómica, onde os elementos químicos necessários no corpo são continuamente fabricados usando baixas quantidades de energia. Além disso, há também a produção de energia suficiente para fenómenos extraordinários. Estes incluem estados mais elevados de consciência, habilidades paranormais, sublimação de energias particulares e inteligência superior. Outros são níveis elevados de felicidade e euforia, para mencionar apenas alguns. Se consegue adentrar totalmente o ego, o ego desaparece, porque no pico mais alto, no clímax mais elevado do ato sexual, você é pura energia.
Megan's Schoolreis (De Megan Reeks #3)
by Owen JonesMegan's Schoolreis Een Spirituele Gids, Een Spooktijger en Een Beangstigende Moeder! Megan gaat op schoolreis naar prehistorische grotten en voelt het leven aan van de holbewoners. Megan is een dertien jaar oud meisje, dat beseft dat ze psychische krachten bezit die anderen niet hebben. Aanvankelijk probeerde ze er met haar moeder over te praten, maar met rampzalige gevolgen, dus heeft ze geleerd om erover te zwijgen. Sommige mensen hebben echter hulp aangeboden en een dier betoonde een special vriendschap, maar zij ‘leefden’ niet in de normale zin van het woord. Zij waren overleden. Megan heeft drie zulke vrienden: Wacinhinsha, haar spirituele gids, die in zijn laatste leven op aarde Sioux was geweest, haar grootvader langs moeder’s kant, Opa en een enorme Siberische tijger die Grrr heet. Wacinhinsha heeft een buitengewone kennis over alle spirituele, psychische en paranormale dingen; haar grootvader is een beginnende ‘dode persoon’ en Grrr kan enkel Tijger spreken, zoals je je kan voorstellen en het meeste daarvan is natuurlijk onverstaanbaar voor mensen. In deze episode in het leven van Megan worden zij en de andere leerlingen in haar jaar op school op een schooluitstap genomen. Dat zou een jaarlijks evenement moeten zijn , maar de school heeft niet altijd het geld om ze te financiëren. Deze blijkt uitzonderlijk te zijn voor Megan daar ze een glimp opvangt van de levens van de mensen die in lang vervlogen tijden in een gebied leefden. Volg Megan terwijl ze meer tracht te leren van haar schooluitstap het verleden in en lees het advies dat haar Spirituele Gids haar geeft over hoe ze dat het best kan doen.

Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-being
by Martin E. Seligman"This book will help you flourish." With this unprecedented promise, internationally esteemed psychologist Martin Seligman begins Flourish, his first book in ten years--and the first to present his dynamic new concept of what well-being really is. Traditionally, the goal of psychology has been to relieve human suffering, but the goal of the Positive Psychology movement, which Dr. Seligman has led for fifteen years, is different--it's about actually raising the bar for the human condition. Flourish builds on Dr. Seligman's game-changing work on optimism, motivation, and character to show how to get the most out of life, unveiling an electrifying new theory of what makes a good life--for individuals, for communities, and for nations. In a fascinating evolution of thought and practice, Flourish refines what Positive Psychology is all about. While certainly a part of well-being, happiness alone doesn't give life meaning. Seligman now asks, What is it that enables you to cultivate your talents, to build deep, lasting relationships with others, to feel pleasure, and to contribute meaningfully to the world? In a word, what is it that allows you to flourish? "Well-being" takes the stage front and center, and Happiness (or Positive Emotion) becomes one of the five pillars of Positive Psychology, along with Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment--or PERMA, the permanent building blocks for a life of profound fulfillment. Thought-provoking in its implications for education, economics, therapy, medicine, and public policy--the very fabric of society--Flourish tells inspiring stories of Positive Psychology in action, including how the entire U.S. Army is now trained in emotional resilience; how innovative schools can educate for fulfillment in life and not just for workplace success; and how corporations can improve performance at the same time as they raise employee well-being. With interactive exercises to help readers explore their own attitudes and aims, Flourish is a watershed in the understanding of happiness as well as a tool for getting the most out of life. On the cutting edge of a science that has changed millions of lives, Dr. Seligman now creates the ultimate extension and capstone of his bestselling classics, Authentic Happiness and Learned Optimism.

by Tish JettFor any woman who last saw forty on her speedometer comes a sparkling new primer for aging--the French way--with grace and style. Frenchwomen of a certain age (over forty) are captivating and complex. They appear younger than their years and remain stylish throughout their lives.

American-born journalist and blogger Tish Jett has lived among the French for years and has studied them and stalked them to learn their secrets. Exploring how their wardrobe, beauty, diet, and hair rituals evolve with time and how some aspects of their signature styles never change, Jett shows how Frenchwomen know their strengths, hide their weaknesses, and never talk about their fears, failures, or flaws. After all, in France, beauty, style, and charm have no expiration dates!
