Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book takes Carl Jung's fascinating concept of individuation and brings it right up to date with a modern twist. It reveals the relevance and importance it has in our lives today and gives us an understanding that our lives have a divine significance. Essentially, it is a major adult psychological process which occurs thoughout adult life and as we allow ourselves to individuate we attract change and growth. The book clarifies the many ways in which individuation makes its prescence known in our lives. For example why do so many of us begin to question our lives when 'everything appears to be just right ', yet there is an inner lack of fulfilment. It identifies indicators such as synchronistic occurrences, the relevance of the 7year cycle and explores what happens if we suppress individuation. Illustrated by compelling and amazing examples of those in the public eye who are individuating successfully, this book is also supplemented by visuals and insightful questionnaires to encapsulate the reader.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sociopaths are pervasive in contemporary television, from high-brow drama all the way down to cartoons -- and of course the news as well. From the scheming Eric Cartman of South Parkto the seductive imposter Don Draper of Mad Men, cold and ruthless characters captivate us, making us wish that we could be so effective and successful. Yet why should we admire characters who get ahead by being amoral and uncaring In his follow-up to Awkwardness, Adam Kotsko argues that the popularity of the ruthless sociopath reflects our dissatisfaction with a failed social contract, showing that we believe that the world rewards the evil and uncaring rather than the good. By analyzing characters like the serial killer star of Dexter and the cynical Dr. House, Kotsko shows that the fantasy of the sociopath distracts us from our real problems -- but that we still might benefit from being a little more sociopathic.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Can making things smaller make the world a better place No Local takes a critical look at localism, an ideology that says small businesses, ethical shopping and community initiatives like gardens and farmers' markets can stop corporate globalization. These small acts might make life better for some, but they don't challenge the drive for profit that's damaging our communities and the earth. No Local shows how localism's fixation on small comes from an outdated economic model. Growth is built into capitalism. Small firms must play by the same rules as large ones, cutting costs, exploiting workers and damaging the environment. Localism doesn't ask who controls production, allowing it to be co-opted by governments offloading social services onto the poor. At worst, localism becomes a strategy for neoliberal politics, not an alternative to it. No Local draws on political theory, history, philosophy and empirical evidence to argue that small isn't always beautiful. Building a better world means creating local social movements that grow to challenge, not avoid, market priorities.…

(Some people choose a happy life living with a soul mate, while others realise that they will learn more, overcome more important challenges and complete more of their karma by living a life on their own or one with more pain and difficulty.)
