Synopsis

"Scandinavian Mentality" delves into the distinctive social and communicative patterns that characterize Nordic societies, offering a fascinating exploration of how cultural values shape behavior across Scandinavian countries. The book centers on three fundamental aspects: lagom (the principle of moderation), the law of Jante (emphasizing collective well-being over individual success), and unique social distance norms that define personal interactions.

 
Through a research-based approach spanning five decades of sociological studies, the book illuminates how historical factors, Lutheran influences, and geographical isolation have molded modern Scandinavian communication patterns. The text progresses thoughtfully from historical foundations to contemporary applications, examining how these cultural elements manifest in professional, personal, and public spaces.

 
A particularly intriguing aspect is the apparent paradox in Scandinavian behavior: while strongly valuing social equality and community welfare, individuals maintain significant personal distance in daily interactions. This unique combination of collectivist values and personal space requirements creates a distinctive social dynamic that sets Scandinavian cultures apart.

 
Drawing from extensive research across Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, the book bridges theoretical understanding with practical application, making it valuable for both academic study and real-world cultural navigation. It examines how these behavioral patterns adapt to modern challenges while maintaining their core characteristics, offering readers concrete strategies for understanding and engaging with Scandinavian social contexts.

 
The interdisciplinary approach, combining social psychology, cultural anthropology, and communication studies, provides a comprehensive framework for understanding these unique cultural dynamics.

Learning is Action - Claremont...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Learning is action - 12 November 1968 
• Our education is concerned with the accumulation of knowledge.Very few of us are capable of living a life without the influence of specialists. 
• What is the point of going to a university, getting a degree and disappearing into the vast structure of society? 
• Q: How shall we approach the idea of study? 
• If you express from something already accumulated it is a deadly bore, but if 
you are all the time watching, not only yourself but the world, you are learning. 
• Q: You say that a mantra is an escape. Do you think that people use drugs as an escape or because they want to become closer? 
• When I observe myself I cannot learn if I condemn what I find. 
• We observe through our imagination, through our image, through our knowledge.

Waking Up To Your Self - A Guide...

Patrick Marando

Drawing on more than 20 years of experience as a spiritual teacher and psychologist, Patrick Marando has written a guide to remembering who you really are - teaching how you, too, can live from the state he calls the true self. Patrick bridges the gap between spirituality and modern psychology, describing how we become disconnected from our true self, providing a guide to remembering your truth and fully awakening to who you are. The result will be a life of well-being, peace, and fulfillment. Patrick also discusses how the mind develops and functions, how it doesn't always align with the true self; he explains how to utilize our minds to help - instead of limit - us. He thoroughly describes our common emotions and tells us why we have them, how to manage and utilize them to help align with the true self. With his clear explanations and practical exercises, Patrick has created a step-by-step guide to being human and overcoming the barriers to living your truth.
