We came in peace for all mankind.” But was the Apollo 11 moon landing mission really a global endeavor? How did people outside the United States view these “rocket men”?

  POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
  
  Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD for short, turns your entire life upside down. With the experience that triggered this mental disorder, you have gone to the limits of what is bearable and beyond. Whether you are affected yourself or a relative, you know exactly how fundamentally the rest of your life is shaped by the consequences of the traumatic event. But you are not powerless against it. Psychology now knows numerous methods that can help you reclaim your self-determination, and alongside professional therapy, your own initiative is at least as important. It essentially consists of two main elements: thought and awareness exercises provide you with concrete, easy-to-implement measures with which you can directly influence your perception and experience, and in addition, by acquiring comprehensive knowledge, you become an expert on your own illness – a decisive step on the path to self-empowerment.

  The Fourth History of Man

  In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
  The Fourth History of Man continues with virus infections where The Third History of Man left off hashing-out those specks of genetic schmutz, covering the R-naught of those naughty infectious scoundrels. Some big hitters will be considered, from polio and the famous celebrities that had it, through fifty shades of hepatitis, rabies and the hair of the dog, and the monkey business of HIV and AIDS. Leaving viruses, we’ll delve into a study of parasites, including the parasite of all parasites, Sigourney Weaver’s alien. Opening up a can-of-worms we’ll launch a nerd rumble: who would win between Weaver’s Alien and Schwarzenegger’s Predator. Other topics include the sociology of a social death preceding the actual death, the sociology of sexual cannibalism, and the sociology of colors, not just of yellow fever, but of other emotions under the rainbow, hopefully not making you feel positively blue. On the science side we’ll flip the script on the infamous Krebs cycle fleeced of the boring jargon that usually flows from the lecture hall and our road will scrutinize nuclear bombs, nuclear footballs and weapons of mass destruction, the secret of Ondine’s curse, and lessons in global warming.

  Two Pioneers of Science and Spirit Expand the Frontiers of UnderstandingFor centuries, science and philosophy have drawn clear borders: scientists focused on the physical world, and philosophers studied the spiritual. Today that wall is coming down, thanks to innovative teachers like A. H. Almaas and Dr. Daniel Siegel, and the free flow of ideas and information has created a new renaissance of wisdom. On October 19, 2013, these two modern luminaries engaged in a conversation created to spark new ideas and insights about the nature of the mind and soul, the relationship between consciousness and the brain, and the mystery of personal transformation.Now you can experience this extraordinary meeting between A. H. Almaas, the creator of the breakthrough spiritual practice The Diamond Approach, and interpersonal neurobiologist Dr. Daniel Siegel, author of The Mindful Brain. In this daylong conversation, Siegel and Almaas investigate both the convergence and contrasts of spiritual and scientific ways of knowing ourselves. Focusing on the nature of personal transformation and the unfolding of identity, their wide-ranging discussion covers three major themes:Part One: The Mind and the Soul  •  The soul and the mind—how they are understood by both spiritual traditions and the latest neuroscience  •  The relationship between Being, Essence, the brain, and consciousness  •  How the mind relates to the brain, and the far-reaching implications of neuroplasticity—the ability of the mind to change our neural tissue  •  Why the soul is no longer off-limits to scientific inquiryPart Two: Self, Relationships, and Well-Being  •  What is the self and how does it develop?  •  How a sense of self emerges in life, in our relationships, and throughout development  •  How relational and psychological trauma impair the development of well-being and the unfolding of inner knowing across one's lifespan  •  The role of interpersonal and close, intimate relationships in the development of our identity  •The therapeutic-patient and student-teacher relationships—how these two models for wisdom transmission overlap and inform each otherPart Three: The Mystery of Transformation  •  What science and traditions say about the need for and nature of spiritual growth  •  The nature of meditation and how spiritual practices and scientific studies perceive the process of inner reflection  •  How fixed personality traits like narcissism or greed influence personal well-being and spiritual growth  •  What are the fundamental shared and contrasted views from science and spirituality on the nature of transformation?  •  Are there goals for transformation? If so, what are they?  •  How can we live a life of compassion, kindness, and discovery in the face of everyday stress and global change?
