How We Think - Including Essays in Experimental Logic; Creative Intelligence; Human Nature & Conduct Leibniz's New Essays

John Dewey

Summary

In "How We Think," John Dewey presents a profound exploration of the process of logical thought and its crucial role in education and democratic society. Employing a pragmatic literary style, Dewey weaves philosophical inquiry with practical insights, breaking down the mechanics of reflective thinking. He critiques traditional pedagogy, advocating for an experiential approach that encourages students to engage in meaningful problem-solving and critical analysis'Äîan endeavor contextualized within early 20th-century debates on educational reform and the philosophy of mind. John Dewey, an influential figure in the realm of pragmatism and education, draws on his extensive background in philosophy, psychology, and pedagogy to champion the principles of an active and participatory learning process. His experiences as an educator and reformer during a period of social change informed his belief in the transformative power of inquiry-based learning, which he articulates in this seminal text, showcasing how thought can foster an engaged and reflective citizenry. I highly recommend "How We Think" to educators, philosophers, and anyone interested in the intersections of thought, action, and democratic ideals. Dewey's insights remain relevant as they challenge readers to rethink their approach to learning and the responsibilities of citizenship in an increasingly complex world.

Metacognitive Therapy - Free...

Linda Burlan Sørensen

“Metacognitive Therapy – Free Yourself from Imprisoning Thoughts”
Metacognitive therapy is a groundbreaking approach in psychology, emphasizing the identification and challenge of metacognitive processes that individuals employ when dealing with their thoughts and feelings. By understanding and addressing the metacognitive management systems underlying behaviour and thought patterns, individuals can break free from the cycle of anxiety, depression, and stress. Offering a comprehensive understanding and practical guidance, the book empowers readers to explore the mechanisms behind thought patterns and emotional reactions influencing their well-being.
We cannot get better by ruminating and worrying. Nevertheless, these are the strategies for many who suffer from anxiety and depression. But a wound does not heal by continuing to scratch at it. It just becomes bigger and bigger. If we spend several hours each day wondering about our gloomy thoughts, we become even more depressed and anxious, and do not thrive well psychologically. By using cases as examples, "Metacognitive Therapy – Free Yourself from Imprisoning Thoughts" shows us how metacognitive therapy can help us manage our thought processes. At the same time, this book is also a critical voice and warning about the evaluation culture we have created. A culture where more and more people are developing anxiety and depressive disorders because we are constantly under surveillance and must fit into certain schemas. We need to learn how to think for ourselves and be aware that we can regain control over our thought processes.
The author Linda Burlan Sørensen is a licensed clinical psychologist and specialist in psychotherapy and supervision. She is an expert in metacognitive therapy and owner of the Neokognitivt Institut in Copenhagen, Denmark, which offers therapy, professional courses, education, and supervision.

The Heart and Mind of...

Douglas Flemons, PhD Michael D....

Explains and demonstrates how to create and utilize mind-body connections for unknotting vexing problems. 
 
 
 
In the popular imagination, hypnosis is misconstrued as something done to people, as if the hypnotist hypnotizes them. And hypnotherapy is similarly misconceived as something done to clients' problems, as if the therapist could unilaterally counter or cure them. In a refreshing departure from conception-as-usual, Douglas Flemons offers another view, articulating relational ideas about how minds and bodies communicate and learn. 
 
 
 
In his characteristically casual and concise way, Flemons explains and illustrates how hypnosis, like meditation, is invited, not induced, and how hypnotherapy entails the altering and unraveling of knotted strands of problematic experience, not the controlling and abolishing of labeled afflictions. The therapist gets in sync with clients so they can, together, extemporaneously facilitate changes to undesired thoughts, urges, emotions, sensations, or behaviors. This book takes you to the heart of hypnotherapy, to the respectful, playful practice of utilizing clients' flow experience to collaboratively discover and create opportunities for embodied learning and therapeutic change.
