Stephen A. Mitchell Libri

Un libro per sostituire il dolore con la gioia e il sorriso, trasformare la depressione in leggerezza, ritrovare la libertà, arrivare a comprensioni nuove e profonde sulla vita. Byron Katie pone quattro domande che, applicate a un problema specifico, consentono di vederlo sotto una luce completamente diversa, e offre un efficace processo di indagine chiamato "II Lavoro" (The Work), impiegato da persone di ogni età e formazione, grazie al quale si può scoprire come anche le convinzioni più stressanti riguardo la vita, gli altri o se stessi possono mutare radicalmente, mentre l'esistenza si trasforma positivamente in modo irreversibile. Attraverso questo processo, chiunque può imparare a risalire alle radici dell'infelicità per sradicarla definitivamente. "Amare ciò che è" non solo mostra che tutti i problemi hanno origine nei propri pensieri, ma offre anche lo strumento per aprire la mente e ritrovare la libertà.

"Relationality" charts the emergence of the relational perspective in psychoanalysis by reviewing the contributions of Loewald, Fairbairn, Bowlby, and Sullivan, whose voices converge in apprehending the fundamental relationality of mind.

Hailed as the greatest modern lyrical poet of Germany, Rainer Maria Rilke's genius lies in his passion for perfection, artistic integrity and willingness to remain a perpetual beginner'. The verse contained in this selection ranges from the objective, naturalistic descriptions of his earliest works to the increasingly effusive outpourings of half-religious ecstasy and anguish that characterize his later poems and culminates in the overwhelmingly personal vision of the famous Duino Elegies' and `The Sonnets to Orpheus', in which his most intense experiences of living and being find their noblest expression.
