Mental velvære

Det tager kun en femtedel af et sekund at aktivere de 12 hjerneområder, der hensætter et menneske i en svimlende forelskelsesrus. Men hvad skal der til for at det sker? Hvorfor forelsker vi os i det hele taget? Og hvorfor går kærligheden så ofte i stykker igen? I denne banebrydende bog kortlægger Jytte Vikkelsøe den romantiske kemis mysterium. Gennem hendes skelsættende arbejde med kriseramte par får vi indsigt i forelskelsens og kærlighedens dynamik. En række fængslende cases demonstrerer, hvordan og ikke mindst hvorfor kærlighedens indbyggede uoverensstemmelser og konflikter både er forudsætningen for forelskelsen og samtidig ender med at dominere de fleste parforhold – men også, hvordan kærlighedens konflikter markerer et ulevet potentiale, vi sjældent gør os begreb om: potentialet til at finde tilbage til vores egen inderste kerne og leve livet fuldt og helt.

A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that he and other inmates coped with the experience of being in Auschwitz. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. The sort of person the prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone.Frankl came to believe that man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living.

Uden omsvøb eller metafysiske fantasterier præsenterer Eckhart Tolle kernen i det ægte spirituelle budskab: væren i Nuet. Der er en sjælden kraft i hans ord, som giver os glimt af en større virkelighed. En virkelighed vi tager del i, når vi er fuldkomne nærværende og slipper vores stadige grublen over fortiden og bekymring for fremtiden. Eckhart Tolle introducerer begrebet ´smertekroppen´ som betegnelse for summen af de negative følelser som den enkelte har ´sparet sammen´ gennem livet og bærer på. Smertekroppen er sammen med vores identifikation med sindet og tankerne de to største forhindringer for at opnå spirituel frigørelse. Der er en guldgrube af indsigter i Nuets kraft: - Vi er ikke vores sind og tanker - Vi kan finde vej ud af psykologisk smerte - Der er autentisk styrke i at overgive sig - Kroppen er en indgang til totalt nærvær - Stilheden og rummet, der omgiver os, er veje til Nuets kraft - Også parforhold kan fungere som en nøgle, når de bruges til at blive mere bevidste og dermed mere kærlige. Tolle springer alle meditative og terapeutiske ´mellemled´ over og arbejder i stedet med direkte væren i nuet - identifikation med den iagttagende bevidsthed, der er vidne til sind, krop og følelser.

Mette Holm har igennem de seneste 3 år guidet sig selv og tusindvis af kvinder til at lære at stille sig OPPE. Hvad det det vil sige, og hvad koden bag ”oppe­teorien” er, afsløres i denne længe ven­tede bog. Med baggrund i den kognitive metode omsættes teori til billeder og redskaber, model­ler og anvisninger, der gør, at man ikke kan undgå at forandre sig, når man arbejder med bogen. Den giver et dybt indblik i, hvad der sker, når din tanker aktiverer dine følelser, som derefter udmønter sig i handlinger. Hele omdrejningspunktet er at afkode modstand og flytte sig mentalt. Bogen er enestående i sin dybde, da den på simpel vis gør svært tilgængeligt stof til noget, alle kan forstå og bruge. Når du først forstår, hvordan oppe-teorien virker, og hvilke elementer der er i den, kan du pludselig handle dér, hvor du tidligere var låst fast, og gøre dig fri af negative tankemønstre. OP giver dig et helt nyt billede af dine muligheder og den magt, vi alle besidder. Når du lærer dine tankers kraft at kende, vil du aldrig tænke en nedadgående tanke igen, og effekten vil sprede sig til alle områder af dit liv.

Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory - the most advanced relationship science in existence today - can help us find and sustain love.Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment explains that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways:Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back.Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness. Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving.With fascinating psychological insight, quizzes and case studies, Dr Amir Levine and Rachel Heller help you understand the three attachment styles, identify your own and recognize the styles of others so that you can find compatible partners or improve your existing relationship.

UNLOCK THE KEY TO SUCCESS WITH JP MORGAN'S BEST SUMMER READ OF 2018In this must-read for anyone seeking to succeed, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth takes us on an eye-opening journey to discover the true qualities that lead to outstanding achievement.

When you love someone, how does it feel? And when you desire someone, how is it different? In Mating in Captivity, Esther Perel looks at the story of sex in committed couples. Modern romance promises it all - a lifetime of togetherness, intimacy and erotic desire. In reality, it's hard to want what you already have. Our quest for secure love conflicts with our pursuit of passion. And often, the very thing that got us to into our relationships - lust - is the one thing that goes missing from them. Determined to reconcile the erotic and the domestic, Perel explains why democracy is a passion killer in the bedroom. Argues for playfulness, distance, and uncertainty. And shows what it takes to bring lust home. Smart, sexy and explosively original, Mating in Captivity is the monogamist's essential bedside read.

Using a combination of time-honoured stories and contemporary casework, Estes reveals that the 'wild woman' in us is innately healthy, passionate and wise.
