    "This book is must [listening] . . . although it will at times shock and perhaps even offend the sensibilities of traditional therapists." —American Journal of Psychiatry 
     
     
     
    This book brings together Erich Fromm's basic statements on the application of psychoanalytic theory to social dynamics. At the same time, it offers an image of man consonant with the hopes of radical humanism. 
     
     
     
    The Crisis of Psychoanalysis is a collection of nine brilliant essays. Although his work is deeply rooted in Freudian theory, Fromm further develops Freud's doctrines by including both social and ethical dimensions, and applies his discoveries and insights to address the problems we face in society at large.

    Mindful Teacher's Handbook - How...

    Written by Kamalagita Hughes, The Mindful Teacher's Handbook: How to step out of busyness and find peace is a practical guide to mindfulness that will empower teachers and school staff to take better care of their well-being and find calm in the day-to-day hustle and bustle of the school setting.
    When we're on an aeroplane, the on-board safety instructions tell us that in the event of an emergency we should put on our own oxygen mask first - and only then help those around us. The same is true for well-being: we need to look after ourselves in order to be a resource for others. This is especially the case in busy, high-pressure environments such as our classrooms and schools, where burnout is a real concern for teachers and leaders, who all too often relegate their own self-care to the bottom of the to-do list.
    The Mindful Teacher's Handbook is a practical and engaging resource to help everyone in schools bring mindfulness into their lives in a meaningful way. Mindfulness practice offers simple, straightforward strategies for finding peace and regaining perspective, and has a solid body of evidence that attests to its efficacy. In this book, Kamalagita Hughes provides a lively and engaging blend of top tips, research evidence, case studies, guided meditations and suggested exercises for all - both for those new to mindfulness and for those who want to refresh their practice.
    Providing a thorough, grounded understanding of mindfulness and its benefits for the school community, the book explores the links between well-being and education and sets out how improved staff and student well-being can cultivate a better teaching and learning environment for all. Kamalagita offers practical strategies that school staff can put into practice straight away - both for their own well-being and that of their pupils - including insightful case studies on how best to bring mindfulness to your school.
    Suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders.

    Temperance - The Balanced Life:...

    Temperance is not merely about denying oneself pleasures, but rather it is an art form that requires the mastery of self-awareness and the thoughtful regulation of desires. In this chapter, we explore the journey toward achieving balance in life by understanding and applying the principle of temperance in everyday circumstances. Temperance involves a mindful approach to living, where each decision is carefully weighed against personal values and long-term well-being. This approach invites individuals to consider what is truly necessary and to avoid the excesses that can lead to imbalance. 
    At its core, the art of temperance calls for introspection and self-reflection. It encourages the cultivation of habits that foster a sense of control and awareness. By recognizing the triggers that lead to impulsive actions, one can develop strategies to counteract those impulses and maintain a steady course toward a balanced life. This mindful practice is a continuous process that requires both patience and perseverance. Every choice, whether big or small, contributes to the overall picture of one's well-being. When practiced consistently, temperance transforms not only individual habits but also enhances relationships and personal growth. 
    The practice of temperance extends beyond the realm of personal behavior into the wider sphere of social interactions and professional responsibilities. It is a quality that can enhance leadership and foster environments where collective well-being is prioritized over individual excess. When temperance is embraced as a guiding principle, it leads to a more thoughtful, measured, and ultimately rewarding approach to life. Rather than reacting impulsively to every situation, a temperate individual considers the broader context, assessing both immediate and long-term impacts of their actions.

    Intelligent Design: The Final Proof of God By Dan Anghel, MD Can quantum physics and philosophy prove the existence of God? In this groundbreaking exploration, Dr. Dan Anghel bridges the gap between science and spirituality to present a compelling argument for the existence of a higher power. Intelligent Design: The Final Proof of God delves deep into the mysteries of quantum physics and philosophical thought, tackling profound questions about free will, determinism, and the nature of the soul. Examining the essence of consciousness, Dr. Anghel argues that artificial intelligence systems cannot attain true consciousness or free will due to the inherent limitations of physics in the material world. This perspective challenges current assumptions about AI and its potential, offering a fresh viewpoint rooted in both scientific understanding and spiritual insight. Confronting the age-old problem of evil, he offers innovative solutions that challenge conventional wisdom while maintaining the utmost respect and ethical consideration. His out-of-the-box perspective on God invites readers to rethink traditional beliefs and embrace a more expansive understanding of the divine. Drawing from his own near-death experience, Dr. Anghel enriches his scientific and philosophical discourse with personal revelation. Throughout the book, he shares simple yet profound Christian and philosophical quotes that illuminate complex concepts and inspire thoughtful reflection. Discover a harmonious blend of science, philosophy, and spirituality that offers new proof of God's existence and invites you on a transformative journey of understanding.
