Dieses Buch macht Sie stark! Und das sofort!§§Depression und Burnout sind für Amy Morin keine Fremdworte: Auf den Tag genau drei Jahre, nachdem sie ihre Mutter verloren hatte, starb ihr Mann ganz plötzlich an einem Herzinfarkt. Morin wurde mit nur 26 Jahren Witwe und musste selbst lernen, nach diesen schweren Schicksalsschlägen zu mentaler Stärke zu finden. Sie nutzte den Umbruch zum Neuanfang.§§Die Psychotherapeutin und Sozialpädagogin Amy Morin weiß: Wir alle sind nur so gut, wie unsere schlechtesten Angewohnheiten es zulassen. Sie sind wie eine schwere Last, sie behindern, ermüden und frustrieren. Sie halten uns davon ab, unser Potential voll auszunutzen, sie führen zu Depression und Burnout.§§Unsere mentale Stärke und Resilienz steigern wir, indem wir negative Verhaltens- und Denkmuster ablegen, wie z.B. in Selbstmitleid zu versinken, sofortige Erfolge zu erwarten oder das Alleinsein zu fürchten. Freuen wir uns stattdessen auf Veränderungen, besiegen wir unsere Ängste, werden wir glücklich und erfolgreich!§§Der erste Ratgeber mit einem ganz neuen Ansatz zur Verbesserung der mentalen Stärke und der Resilienz: mitreißend, effektiv und überzeugend!

Arnold Mindell began to develop Process Oriented Psychology in the late 1970s and 80s in Switzerland, and this paradigm has since grown to include practitioners and learners worldwide. Also known as Process Work, its practical applications encompass work with individuals, couples, and groups, as well as with body symptoms, relationships, dreams, and large group processes. It is an awareness practice based on following the unique signals and experiences of individuals or groups with the fundamental assumption that each process contains its own meaning and wisdom. This book contains entertaining stories - and sometimes revealing memories - about Arnold Mindell, contributed by friends, family, colleagues, and seminar participants, as well as fifty expressive photos. Compiled and edited by his wife and partner in all things, Amy Mindell, the stories not only give compelling examples of the brilliance of Process Work in action but also provide insights into an extraordinary man, his unique teaching style and work in private sessions and consultations - affording rare, behind-the-scenes views of his art and passion over a remarkable sixty years of practice.

A groundbreaking analysis of America prior to the European arrival in 1492.Describes how the latest research of archaeologists and anthropologists has transformed long-held myths about the Americas, revealing that not only was the population of the hemisphere greater than previously known but that the cultures were far older and more advanced.

Presenting the latest research by biologists, anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians, Mann shows how the post-Columbian network of ecological and economic exchange fostered the rise of Europe, devastated imperial China, convulsed Africa, and for two centuries made Mexico City--where Asia, Europe, and the new frontier of the Americas dynamically interacted--the center of the world. In this history, Mann uncovers the germ of today's fiercest political disputes, from immigration to trade policy to culture wars. In 1493, Mann has again given readers an eye-opening scientific interpretation of our past, unequaled in its authority and fascination.
