  In Praise of Folly, also translated as The Praise of Folly, is an essay written in Latin in 1509 by Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam and first printed in June 1511. Inspired by previous works of the Italian humanist Faustino Perisauli De Triumpho Stultitiae, it is a satirical attack on superstitions, other traditions of European society and on the Western Church.Erasmus revised and extended his work, which was originally written in the space of a week while sojourning with Sir Thomas More at More's house in Bucklersbury in the City of London. The title Moriae Encomium had a punning second meaning as In Praise of More. In Praise of Folly is considered one of the most notable works of the Renaissance and played an important role in the beginnings of the Protestant Reformation.

  The Mindful Body: Hakomi Approach to Emotional Well-Being and Personal Growth is a transformative guide to the profound healing potential of mindfulness-based somatic therapy. Grounded in the pioneering Hakomi Method, this book offers a compassionate and experiential path to emotional clarity, personal insight, and lasting change. 
  Through eleven insightful chapters, readers are gently introduced to the foundational concepts of core beliefs and the central principles that define Hakomi, nonviolence, mindfulness, unity, and organicity. The book then transitions into the practical application of the method, illuminating how the body holds emotional truths and how gentle, present-moment awareness can unlock deep self-understanding. 
  The Mindful Body speaks to therapists and seekers alike, covering topics ranging from working with emotional states and the inner child to embracing resistance as hidden wisdom and fostering transformative healing relationships. It also explores how mindfulness can catalyze personal transformation, meet unmet developmental needs, and support integration beyond the therapy room. 
  Accessible, insightful, and deeply human, this book is both a map and a mirror, offering a thoughtful synthesis of theory and practice for anyone interested in embodied healing, mindfulness, and personal growth. Whether you're a mental health professional or a curious explorer of the self, The Mindful Body is a wise and compassionate companion on the journey toward wholeness.
