Mental Philosophy

Imagine that tomorrow you woke up, went out and won the lottery. Now imagine that tomorrow you woke up, went out and lost a limb. Which would make you happier? Amazingly, science suggests that after both of these scenarios, you would most likely return to the same happiness level as before within a relatively short window of time. The Fun Habit shows that fun, unlike happiness, is an action you can take almost anywhere, anytime. Fun is connected to behaviour and habits rather than goals, which means it’s possible to get more fun into your life with intention.

Im Jahre 1930 veröffentlichte Sigmund Freud diese Schrift, in der er den Menschen als Meister der "Verdrängung" beschreibt, die dieser in allen Feldern der Zivilisation unterworfen sei. In der Realität des Lebens sei der Mensch zu Lustverzicht, Zügelung, Umlenkung und Verdrängung der Triebe gezwungen.

This is a two-book combo which has the following titles: Existentialism: The Psychology and Philosophy of Existentialist Thinkers and Existentialism: Nihilism and Rethinking Value Systems by Cruz Matthews. Existentialism is a basic terminology concept for theorists who think of the nature of the human condition as a fundamental essence of philosophical issues and who also share the view that this problem is best resolved through ontology.

Il pensiero è l`attività della mente, un processo che si esplica nella formazione delle idee, dei concetti, della coscienza, dell`immaginazione, dei desideri, della critica, del giudizio, e di ogni raffigurazione del mondo; può essere sia conscio che inconscio. Parlando dei pensieri è impossibile non citare Cartesio e il suo “cogito ergo sum” (penso dunque sono). In breve significa che quello che pensiamo ci dà la sicurezza della nostra esistenza.

The sublime evokes our awe, our terror, and our wonder. Applied first in ancient Greece to the heights of literary expression, in the 18th century the sublime was extended to nature and to the sciences, enterprises that viewed the natural world as a manifestation of God's goodness, power, and wisdom. In The Scientific Sublime, Alan Gross reveals the modern-day sublime in popular science. He tells how the great popular scientists of our time evoke the sublime in response to fundamental questions: How did the universe begin? How did life? How did language?

A deep-dive look at how new generations are not a continuance of previous generations but have sworn off the common bonds that held generations together. It is not about old people dying so much is it is about how the traditions, the mindset, even the shared generational values of previous generations no longer are part of new generations.

"Sense and Sensibilia" is one of the short treatises by Aristotle that make up the Parva Naturalia. He discusses attributes, like those that are common to all living things. They include waking and sleeping, youth and old age, inhalation and exhalation, life and death.

The last time Clancy Martin tried to kill himself was in his basement with a dog leash. It was one of over ten attempts throughout the course of his life. But he didn’t die, and like many who consider taking their own lives, he hid the attempt from his wife, family, coworkers, and students, slipping back into his daily life with a hoarse voice, a raw neck, and series of vague explanations. In How Not to Kill Yourself, Martin chronicles his multiple suicide attempts in an intimate depiction of the mindset of someone obsessed with self-destruction.

Platone diceva che conoscere bene significa adeguarsi a Dio. Ogni atto del conoscere era per il grande filosofo quasi una ripetizione dell'opera del Demiurgo, del creatore cioè e dell'ordinatore del mondo ideale eterno, del cielo, del tutto. L'educazione intellettuale era dunque anch'essa un'operazione divina. Vista alla luce di queste affermazioni, vecchie di due e più millenni ma non per questo meno risonanti di verità e di saggezza, l'opera di Atkinson ci appare in tutta la sua attualità e importanza. E' questa, infatti, essenzialmente un'opera di educazione.

"Какое своеобразное очарование вносит остроумие в наше общество! Новая шутка сродни событию, к которому проявляют широкий интерес: она передается из уст в уста, словно весть о только что одержанной победе",, – писал Фрейд, крайне заинтересованный феноменом остроумия и его ролью в жизни отдельных людей и общества в целом. Он был уверен, что популярность остроумия нельзя объяснить одним лишь удовольствием от хорошей шутки, и задался целью раскрыть механизм и тайные пружины этого уникального в своем роде явления.

Spätestens seit Lockdown und Schulausfall hinterfragen Eltern den Sinn vieler Maßnahmen rund um Schule und Kindeswohl. Zu Recht. Psychotherapeutin Gunda Frey warnt: "Wir erschaffen eine traumatisierte Generation!" Kinder werden heute von Geburt bis Schulabschluss den Zwängen eines auf "Funktionieren" optimierten Systems ausgesetzt - Rücksichtnahme auf ihre Bedürfnisse: meist Fehlanzeige! Das Ergebnis: Kinder, denen Eltern, Erzieher und Lehrer nicht das ermöglichen, was gut, gesund und nötig wäre. Die Resultate sind fatal.

Nell'indagare la verità e la sua storia, Galimberti risale anzitutto alla prima fonte della nostra cultura, ai greci, che ci hanno tramandato una verità legata alla visibilità, anche se non immediatamente sensibile, com'è indicato da Platone col termine 'idea'. Ma qui inizia anche la sciagura del corpo nel mondo occidentale e la scissione, sempre più pronunciata, tra ciò che è inteso come anima e il corpo.

Wer bist du wirklich? Was ist deine Lebensaufgabe? Wie schaffst du es, Frieden, Erfüllung und innere Heilung zu finden? Geht es um die Harmonie mit sich selbst und dem ganzen Universum, stoßen sowohl zeitgenössische Selbstoptimierungsprogramme als auch therapeutische Verfahren an ihre Grenzen. Heilrituale, Trance und Seelenarbeit der Schamanen sind traditionelle Mittel, die es erlauben, in die Ganzheit zu kommen. Für die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) hat der Schamanismus bei psychischen und psychosomatischen Erkrankungen die gleiche Bedeutung wie die westliche Schulmedizin.

Despite her world having been recently dismantled by a messy break-up, Alice would tell you that love is the most important – albeit ineffable – human experiences. But when she once again crosses paths with her old school nemesis, Luke, he challenges this. Luke is a scientist and he’s certain love can be measured and explained – just like everything else. So the two decide to make a bet: they’ll each venture back into dating and if one of them falls in love, Alice wins, if not, then Luke does.

The world needs leaders. Not just people holding titles, or elected into office whose only goal is to stay in their seat of power. But rather, it needs people with a clear vision, a compelling message, and the tools to leverage the power of their community to accomplish their goal. The Creator's Handbook is a concise study of the cognitive and psychological tools critical for aspiring leaders to adopt. It examines frameworks for optimizing your ability to find opportunities, for connecting with an audience, and for growing a motivated network of supporters.

1915, ein Jahr nach Ausbruch des 1.Weltkriegs veröffentlichte Sigmund Freud seinen Aufsatz "Zeitgemäßes über Krieg und Tod", in dem er zum einen über seine Enttäuschung nachdenkt, dass mit dem Krieg die bereits errungen geglaubte Stufe der Kultur wieder verlassen wurde. Zum anderen reflektiert er darüber, wie und warum der Krieg sein Verhältnis zum Tod verändert und wodurch dies bedingt wird. Freud aber wäre nicht Freud, wenn er in sein Nachdenken nicht auch bereits in der Psychoanalyse aufgestellte Theorien und daraus gewonnene Erkenntnisse einfließen lassen würde.

In this best-selling book, Charles Pépin brings to light the strange alchemy that is self-confidence.
