  How can obedience and carrying out orders lead to horrific acts such as the Holocaust or the genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia, or Bosnia? For the most part, it is a mystery why obeying instructions from an authority can convince people to kill other human beings, sometimes without hesitation and with incredible cruelty. Combining social and cognitive neuroscience with real-life accounts from genocide perpetrators, this book sheds light on the process through which obedience influences cognition and behavior. Emilie Caspar, a leading expert in the field, translates this neuroscientific approach into a clear, uncomplicated explanation, even for those with no background in psychology or neuroscience. By better understanding humanity's propensity for direct orders to short-circuit our own independent decision-making, we can edge closer to effective prevention processes.

  School as a community -...

  In search of leadership in Waldorf schools.
  Leadership in Waldorf schools has a specific history. Whereas 40 years ago it was hardly allowed to formally exist because it represented power and hierarchy, now it is commonplace to have a headmaster, rector or director. In this book, Hans Passenier examines the development of leadership and organisation in Waldorf schools. He starts at the origins and finds principles that can help develop school organisations and their leadership in the future. In four parts, he unfolds the foundations, the tools to develop leadership and organisations and finally describes exercises to support that development as a school community.
  His thesis is that education is about children being diverse, having different abilities. Also that the educator should not be a carpenter, but a gardener. The image of the school as an organism is guiding, in which the school community is a place for the inner development of each individual in that school community.
  The horizontal and vertical dimensions guide the view of both leadership and organisational design.

  Pam struggled for many years on the sharp edges of suicide, grieving over betrayals and loss, in a vicious circle of denial, blaming and shaming. Fighting for her very life, with her back against the wall, she ventured forward despite fear and found a way to move beyond feeling a victim. She used her voice and took action, saving her own life. She chose to search for the light within and beyond the pain. She knew it was there. She confronted and overcame: 		* her codependency and her husband’s alcoholism 	* sexual abuse by her first psychotherapist	* fear of going beyond family rules and limits	* standing up to sexism, victim-blaming, and fear of owning her voice She moved beyond all that. Refusing to identify with the struggle itself, she used what she learned and became a therapist. A life-threatening injury and the gift of a book marrying science and spirituality emboldened her to end denial of mystical spiritual experiences she kept secret as a child yet had held her throughout her trials. She found she’d been guided throughout her entire life, even during times she felt so desperately alone. This brought her to explore her ancestral lineage, past lives and soul retrieval, experiencing spiritual guides and angels, leaving the reader with the awareness of the possibilities that lie within us all. Every one of us. She learned our struggles are our gifts, as long as we decide to move beyond them. As long as we choose to forgive. Both ourselves and those who hurt us. And we are never alone. She brought the light she saw to the battlefield that was her life. And recovered. While she would be the first to say she is an ordinary human being and that her life is not perfect, she found truth and authentic love within her struggles, reaching a deep peace for which we all yearn. And which is available to all. Every. Single. Person.

  "Mating in Captivity" by Esther Perel explores the challenges of maintaining desire in long-term relationships. Perel, a couples therapist, examines why passion often dwindles as familiarity and domesticity increase. 
    
  The book delves into modern intimacy's pitfalls, questioning if constant communication truly fosters closeness. It tackles how societal expectations of equality can impact eroticism and whether the "can-do" attitude towards life also applies to desire. Through case studies and cultural analysis, Perel searches for ways to reconcile love and eroticism, challenging conventional wisdom about relationships and intimacy.
