Showing results for "chance" in Psychology

Innumerable stories, from the Homeric epics to the New Testament, and from Oedipus Rex to Hamlet, explore the realization or failure of second chances—outcomes that depend on accident, acts of will, or fate. Such stories let us repeatedly rehearse the experience of loss and recovery: to know the joy that comes with a renewal of love and pleasure and to face the pain that comes with realizing that some damage can never be undone. Through a series of illuminating readings, the authors show how Shakespeare was the supreme virtuoso of the second chance and Freud was its supreme interpreter.

Peter Fraenkel presents a practical, creative, integrative approach that combines action- and insight-oriented techniques to help last-chance couples manage conflict, modulate intense negative emotions, address power struggles, develop mutual compassion, and restore emotional intimacy and pleasurable connection. Special attention is paid to developing a collaborative therapeutic alliance when partners have little motivation for therapy or faith that it can be effective. Through engaging in "nonbinding experiments in possibility," partners can then better evaluate whether to "stay or go."

「セカンド・チャンス」（人生をやり直すチャンス）という，危機に直面する人間存在を揺さぶる想念はいつの時代も文学的想像力の核心であった．

At 64, Jenni Murray's weight had become a disability. She avoided the scales, she wore a uniform of baggy black clothes, refused to make connections between her weight and health issues and told herself that she was fat and happy. She was certainly fat. But the happy part was an Oscar-winning performance. In private she lived with a growing sense of fear and misery that it would probably kill her before she made it to 70.

As life unfolds, a man's identity is renewed, reviewed, and negotiated: The markers that make him himself at 20 won't be the same at 35, 50, or 70. This book shows listeners how to turn toward these changes, to come into their own as older men by reframing the losses of age as strengths and opportunities for growth.

Happiness is the ultimate goal for so many of us, but why does it often feel like a destination that's completely unreachable? Everybody wants a better life, yet for so long we have been looking in all the wrong places and directing our focus outward for solutions that can be found only on the inside. In this book, Niyc Pidgeon offers the missing piece of the puzzle to help you stop chasing your joy and finally start feeling it!

It’s comforting to think that we can be successful because we work hard, climb ladders, and get what we deserve, but each of us has been profoundly touched by randomness. Chance is shown to play a crucial role in shaping outcomes across history, throughout the natural world, and in our everyday lives. In The Random Factor, Mark Robert Rank draws from a wealth of evidence, including interviews and research, to explain how luck and chance play out and reveals how we can use these lessons to guide our personal lives and public policies.

Narrated by the author, Diane Wilson shares her journey through random and sometimes humorous events of having an invisible illness, how her brain kept this injury even from herself, the loss of focus and sense of self, an obsession with day trading retirement funds, and the alternative therapies that helped heal her brain—a retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh, acupuncture, learning to sing, and, most centrally, neurofeedback.

Freakonomics showed how economic calculations can explain seemingly counterintuitive decision-making. Thinking, Fast and Slow helped listeners identify a host of small cognitive errors that can lead to miscalculations and irrational thought. In What the Luck?, statistician and author Gary Smith sets himself a similar goal, and explains - in clear, understandable, and witty prose - how a statistical understanding of luck can change the way we see just about every aspect of our lives.

What Are the Chances? reveals how psychology and neuroscience explain the significance of the idea of luck. Barbara Blatchley explores how people react to random events in a range of circumstances, examining the evidence that the belief in luck helps us cope with a lack of control. She tells the stories of lucky and unlucky people as well as the accidental discoveries that fundamentally changed what we know about the brain.

"Die Stärke zu wissen, wann es Zeit ist aufzuhören". In der heutigen leistungsorientierten Gesellschaft ist das Aufgeben ein Schandfleck im Lebenslauf. Wie oft haben wir schon etwas abgeschlossen, was uns weder glücklich gemacht hat, noch einen Vorteil gebracht hat, einfach nur, weil wir es nicht abbrechen konnten, oder wollten? Annie Duke beschreibt in "Quit", wann der Mut, der eine Tugend ist und uns voran treibt, sich in einen Laster verwandeln kann. Über Jahrzehnte hinweg gibt es die Mentalität: "Quitters never win, and winners never quit".

Viele Paarbeziehungen laufen nicht immer rund, das ist völlig normal, solange es sich dabei nur um eine Phase handelt. ​ Dennoch darf man an seiner Beziehung arbeiten und Schritte einleiten, wenn sich mindestens eine Seite ungesehen, unverstanden oder einfach unzufrieden fühlt. Oft hat man damit aber schon so lange gewartet, dass sich eingefahrene Muster gebildet haben oder sich unausgesprochener Groll oder Frust angestaut hat. ​ Viele warten tatsächlich so lange, weil sie der Meinung sind, dass das Hilfeholen von außen (außerhalb des Freundeskreises) schon gefühlt wie eine ...
