Wie wir mit Ängsten und Panikattacken umgehen und Wachstum und Heilung ermöglichen. Wer unter Panikattacken und Angststörungen leidet, fühlt sich ausgeliefert, ohnmächtig, beschämt. Peter Beer, Bestsellerautor und Achtsamkeitslehrer, kennt diese belastenden Ausnahmezustände nur zu gut: Jahrelang kämpfte er selbst gegen Herzrasen, Atemnot und Schlaflosigkeit. Bis er erkannte: Die Angst ignorieren, lässt sie nicht verschwinden. Sie dagegen liebevoll annehmen, ist der erste Schritt zur Heilung.

In Love in the Time of Contagion, Laura Kipnis weaves (often hilariously) her own (ambivalent) coupled lockdown experiences together with those of others and sets them against a larger backdrop: the politics of the virus, economic disparities, changing gender relations, and the ongoing institutional crack-ups prompted by #MeToo and Black Lives Matter, mapping their effects on the everyday routines and occasional solaces of love and sex.

In 1964, American judge Potter Stewart famously said, ‘I can’t define pornography, but I know it when I see it.’ Over 50 years later, the reverberations of these words are still being felt across the world.

But one man’s art is another woman’s erotica is another person’s sex tape.

To call these unsettling times is an understatement: our political leaders are less and less respectable; in the realm of business, cheating, lying, and stealing are hazily defined; and in daily life, rapidly changing technology offers permission to act in ways inconceivable without it. Yet somehow this hasn't quite led to a complete free-for-all - people still draw lines around what is acceptable and what is not. Collinsworth sets out to understand how and why.

In der Partnerschaft geschieht nichts zufällig. Denn der Mensch, den wir in unser Leben gezogen haben, ist Teil unseres Lebensplans: Durch sein Verhalten spiegelt er uns die unsichtbaren Kräfte und unbewussten Automatismen, die unsere Beziehung und unser Leben lenken. Ruediger Schache zeigt, wie wir mithilfe des Spiegelprinzips verborgene Lebensmuster entschlüsseln und seelische Blockaden auflösen können.

Der Mensch ist nicht berechenbar. Aber er hat einen berechenbaren Doppelgänger. Es ist der homo oeconomicus, das Gedankenmodell...

You know the feeling. You meet someone new - at a party or at work - and you just hit it off. There is an instant sense of camaraderie. In a word, you “click”.

After all, when you’re in the “zone”, you’re happier and more productive. Why is it that we click in certain situations and with certain people, but not with others?

ThJohn Muir’s lifelong passion to save America’s wild places, Wilson Bentley’s legendary obsession to record for posterity the beauty of individual snowflakes, the boundless scientific curiosity behind Watson and Crick’s discovery of DNA, sea lions that surf and porcupines that dance–Kay Redfield Jamison shows how these and many more examples both human and animal define the nature of exuberance, and how this exuberance relates to intellectual searching, risk-taking, creativity, and survival itself

And decades of research prove that people choose who they like. They vote for them, they buy from them, they marry them, and they spend precious time with them.
