Wenn Mir Meine Mutter Doch Nur Gesagt Hätte… (Oder Vielleicht Habe Ich Einfach Nicht Zugehört)
by Dr Rosie KuhnEs ist nicht so, dass wir uns entscheiden, Kinder zu haben, um bei ihrer Erziehung zu versagen, ihnen das Leben schwer zu machen und jegliche Aussicht auf Glück zunichte zu machen. Und, es ist nicht so, dass wir unseren Kindern das Schlimmste vom Schlimmsten wünschen, wie ein dunkler Fluch, ausgespuckt in einen Kessel. Es ist einfach nicht so. Fakt ist vielmehr, dass die Mehrheit von uns im Namen der Liebe von unseren Eltern gezeugt wurde. Die Hoffnung auf ein besseres Leben als das, welches jedes Elternteil selbst durchgemacht hat, ist das, was sie für uns, ihre kleinen Wonneproppen, im Sinn haben. Fakt ist jedoch auch, dass das Beste, das jedes Elternteil zu seiner Rolle als Elternteil beitragen kann, selten den Ansprüchen eines jeden Kindes genügt. Das Leben ist so groß. Schon die Komplexität eines einzelnen Menschenlebens ist so groß, dass man mit ihr erst fertig werden muss. Wie können wir wirklich wissen, was unsere Kinder von uns brauchen oder wollen? Möge dieses kleine Buch Sie an die vielen Weisheiten erinnern, diejenigen, die Sie vielleicht bereits gehört haben, von Eltern, Großeltern, Lehrern, Geschwistern, und diejenigen, die Sie für sich selbst entdeckt haben. Und möglicherweise werden einige dabei sein, die Sie Ihren Kindern gerne weitergeben, falls sie zuhören.
Wer bin Ich?
by Dada BhagwanEs gibt mehr im Leben als nur zu leben. Es muss mehr im Leben geben, als nur zu leben. Es sollte ein höheres Ziel im Leben geben. Das Ziel im Leben ist es, die wirkliche Antwort auf “Wer bin ich?“ zu finden. Es ist die unbeantwortete Frage aus unendlich vielen früheren Leben. Die fehlenden Verbindungen auf der Suche nach “Wer bin ich?“ werden nun durch die Worte des Gnani Purush (Der Eine, der vollkommen Selbst-realisiert ist) zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Worte wurden zum besseren Verständnis editiert. Wer bin ich? Was bin ich nicht? Wer ist das Selbst? Was gehört zu mir? Was gehört nicht zu mir? Was ist Unfreiheit? Was ist Befreiung (Moksha)? Gibt es einen Gott? Was ist Gott? Wer ist der ’Handelnde’ in dieser Welt? Ist Gott der ’Handelnde’ oder nicht? Was ist die wahre Natur von Gott? Was ist die Natur des wirklich ’Handelnden’ in dieser Welt? Wer regiert die Welt? Wie funktioniert sie? Was ist die wahre Natur der Illusion? Ist alles, was man weiß, wahr oder ist es eine Illusion? Wird man mit dem Wissen, das man hat, frei werden oder unfrei bleiben? Dieses Buch wird das präzise Verstehen der Wahrheit hinter diesen Fragen vermitteln.
We're All Climate Hypocrites Now: How Embracing Our Limitations Can Unlock the Power of a Movement
by Sami GroverA useful — and sprightly! — effort to get at the choice between individual and systemic action on the greatest problem we've ever faced. — Bill McKibben, author, The End of NatureTaking a tongue-in-cheek approach, self-confessed eco-hypocrite Sami Grover says we should do what we can in our own lives to minimize our climate impacts and we need to target those actions so they create systemic change. We're All Climate Hypocrites Now helps you decide what are the most important climate actions to take for your own personal situation.Our culture tells us that personal responsibility is central to tackling the climate emergency, yet the choices we make are often governed by the systems in which we live. Whether it's activists facing criticism for eating meat or climate scientists catching flack for flying, accusations of hypocrisy are rampant. And they come from both inside and outside the movement.Sami Grover skewers those pointing fingers, celebrates those who are trying, and offers practical pathways to start making a difference. We're All Climate Hypocrites Now covers:How environmentalism lost its grooveWhy big polluters want to talk about your carbon footprintThe psychology of shamingHow businesses can find their activist voiceThe true power of individuals to spark widespread change.By understanding where our greatest leverage lies, we can prioritize our actions, maximize our impact, and join forces with the millions of other imperfect individuals who are ready to do their part and actually change the system.

by David MarvinFree yourself from anxiety by discovering and applying principles given by God to lead us away from panic and toward peace. &“These pages will feel like a lifeline for the anxious, overwhelmed, and burned out.&”—Jennie Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Get Out of Your HeadIf you&’ve ever felt overwhelmed by panic, fear, worry, or anxiety, you&’re not alone.

But this doesn&’t have to be the case. You can stop freaking out. Sound too good to be true? It is true. In fact, it&’s a promise from God himself. At least 366 times, the Bible commands us to not fear. God loves us and doesn&’t want us to be ruled by anxiety. Not surprisingly, most people don&’t understand what the Bible actually teaches about anxiety, fear, and worry.Consider this book a practical resource to help you connect the dots between your anxiety and what God has to say about defeating it. As you are about to discover, you really can stop freaking out.

We're Still Family: What Grown Children Have to Say About Their Parents' Divorce
by Constance AhronsWhat is the real legacy of divorce? To answer this question, Constance Ahrons, Ph.D., interviewed one hundred and seventy-three grown children whose divorcing parents she had interviewed twenty years earlier for her landmark study, the basis of which was the highly acclaimed book The Good Divorce. What she has learned is both heartening and significant.Challenging the stereotype that children of divorce are emotionally troubled, drug abusing, academically challenged, and otherwise failing, Dr. Ahrons reveals that most children can and do adapt, and that many even thrive in the face of family change. Although divorce is never easy for any family, she shows that it does not have to destroy children's lives or lead to a family breakdown. With the insight of these grown children and the advice of this gifted family therapist, divorcing parents will find helpful road maps identifying both the benefits and the harms to which postdivorce children are exposed and, ultimately, what they can do to maintain family bonds.

Wetiko: Healing the Mind-Virus That Plagues Our World
by Paul Levy• Explores how wetiko covertly operates both out in the world and within our minds and how it underlies every form of self-destruction, both individual and collective • Reveals how wetiko&’s power lies in our blindness to it and examines how people across the ages have symbolized wetiko to help see it and heal it • Examines the concept of wetiko as it appears in the teachings of the Kabbalah, Hawaiian Kahuna shamanism, mystical Christianity, and the work of C. G. Jung In its Native American meaning, wetiko is an evil cannibalistic spirit that can take over people&’s minds, leading to selfishness, insatiable greed, and consumption as an end in itself, destructively turning our intrinsic creative genius against our own humanity. Revealing the presence of wetiko in our modern world behind every form of destruction our species is carrying out, both individual and collective, Paul Levy shows how this mind-virus is so embedded in our psyches that it is almost undetectable--and it is our blindness to it that gives wetiko its power. Yet, as Levy reveals in striking detail, by recognizing this highly contagious mind parasite, by seeing wetiko, we can break free from its hold and realize the vast creative powers of the human mind. Levy explores how artists, philosophers, and spiritual traditions across the ages have been creatively symbolizing this deadly pathogen of the psyche so as to help us see it and heal it. He examines the concept of wetiko as it appears in the teachings of the Kabbalah, Hawaiian Kahuna shamanism, Buddhism, and mystical Christianity and through esoteric concepts like egregores, demons, counterfeiting spirits, and psychic vampires. He reveals how visionary thinkers such as C. G. Jung, Sri Aurobindo, Philip K. Dick, Colin Wilson, Nicolas Berdyaev, and Rene Girard each point to wetiko in their own unique and creative way. He explores how the projection of the shadow self--scapegoating--is the underlying psychological mechanism fueling wetiko and examines wetiko in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, showing that we can reframe the pandemic so as to receive the lessons and opportunities embedded in it. Revealing how the power of imagination can cure the wetiko mind-virus, Levy underscores how important it is for each of us to bring forth the creative spirit within us, which helps shed the light of consciousness on wetiko, taking away its power over us while simultaneously empowering ourselves.

Do you think mainstream America needs to find its voice? If so, you&’re not alone. The country is under attack by extremists at the fringes who put ideology before sanity and stoke division for their own gain. They are trying to rob America of its common sense and deny empirical truths, and we&’re all suffering the consequences.

Whale Done!: The Power of Positive Relationships
by Kenneth Blanchard Thad Lacinak Chuck Tompkins Jim BallardA compendium of straightforward techniques on how to accentuate the positive and redirect the negative, increasing productivity at work and at home.What do your people at work and your spouse and kids at home have in common with a five-ton killer whale? Probably a whole lot more than you think, according to top business consultant and mega-bestselling author Ken Blanchard and his coauthors from SeaWorld. In this moving and inspirational new book, Blanchard explains that both whales and people perform better when you accentuate the positive. He shows how using the techniques of animal trainers -- specifically those responsible for the killer whales of SeaWorld -- can supercharge your effectiveness at work and at home. When gruff business manager and family man Wes Kingsley visited SeaWorld, he marveled at the ability of the trainers to get these huge killer whales, among the most feared predators in the ocean, to perform amazing acrobatic leaps and dives. Later, talking to the chief trainer, he learned their techniques of building trust, accentuating the positive, and redirecting negative behavior -- all of which make these extraordinary performances possible. Kingsley took a hard look at his own often accusatory management style and recognized how some of his shortcomings as a manager, spouse, and father actually diminish trust and damage relationships. He began to see the difference between "GOTcha" (catching people doing things wrong) and "Whale Done!" (catching people doing things right). In Whale Done!, Ken Blanchard shows how to make accentuating the positive and redirecting the negative the best tools to increase productivity, instead of creating situations that demoralize people. These techniques are remarkably easy to master and can be applied equally well at home, allowing readers to become better parents and more committed spouses in their happier and more successful personal lives.
What a Great Word!: A Year of Daily Devotions
by Karen MooreWHAT A GREAT WORD! is a new kind of devotional. With Scripture and fresh insights from author Karen Moore, readers are able to focus on one word each day to strengthen their faith and see God's hand at work.These are simple words, words we use every day that we often gloss over when reading God's Word. If, for example, the word for the day is "protect," the reading from Psalm 121:6-8 declares: "The Lord will protect you from all dangers; He will guard your life." Readers will then see how the Lord protects our lives. He is the One who defends us, guards us, and keeps us safe. With one simple word, readers will move from hoping the Lord will protect us, to believing He will act on our behalf. Now that's a Great Word!"What a Great Word! is a beautiful way to spend a few minutes each day focusing on what is really important and growing into the person God created us to become." -- Jean Ziglar, wife of Zig Ziglar
