How to Survive the Modern World - making sense of, and finding calm in, unsteady times (Hardcover): The School of Life How to Survive the Modern World - making sense of, and finding calm in, unsteady times (Hardcover)
The School of Life
R682 Discovery Miles 6 820 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

A guide to modern times that explores the challenges living in the 21st century can pose to our mental wellbeing. The modern world has brought us a range of extraordinary benefits and joys, including technology, medicine and transport. But it can also feel as though modern times have plunged us ever deeper into greed, despair and agitation. Seldom has the world felt more privileged and resource-rich yet also worried, blinkered, furious, panicked and self-absorbed. How to Survive the Modern World is the ultimate guide to navigating our unusual times. It identifies a range of themes that present acute challenges to our mental wellbeing. The book tackles our relationship to the news media, our ideas of love and sex, our assumptions about money and our careers, our attitudes to animals and the natural world, our admiration for science and technology, our belief in individualism and secularism - and our suspicion of quiet and solitude. In all cases, the book helps us to understand how we got to where we are, digging deeply and fascinatingly into the history of ideas, while pointing us towards a saner individual and collective future. The emphasis isn't just on understanding modern times but also on knowing how we can best relate to the difficulties these present. The book helps us to form a calmer, more authentic, more resilient and sometimes more light-hearted relationship to the follies and obsessions of our age. If modern times are (in part) something of a disease, this is both the diagnostic and the soothing, hope-filled cure.

Managing Performance Stress - Models and Methods (Paperback, New edition): David Pargman Managing Performance Stress - Models and Methods (Paperback, New edition)
David Pargman
R1,318 Discovery Miles 13 180 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Over the past 16 years, new theories and models have emerged in the stress and anxiety knowledge base regarding the unique forms associated with performance. Existing theories have been applied in creative and helpful ways to better explicate relationships between stress and anxiety with performance. Recently, more sophisticated statistical strategies have been applied to data collected with performers, and additional, safe and expedient strategies for managing stress and anxiety have surfaced. Despite these new advances, the field has been lacking an up-to-date and practical text for undergraduate and graduate students in performing or performance-mentoring programs. Managing Performance Stress examines psychological and psychophysiological models and theories that explain causes of anxiety and stress. An easy-to-use reference work for athletes, musicians, dancers and actors as well as those who devise and conduct their training programs, the book presents exercises, coaching devices, and strategies for conquering stress and anxiety. It is an invaluable resource for those who are performers, will be performers, or who are preparing to mentor, coach or teach performers. The principles enunciated in Managing Performance Stress apply equally to the musician holding an oboe and the athlete holding a baseball bat. The issues explored and the theories, principles, models, hypotheses discussed all bear upon and clarify arousal, stress and anxiety related to artistic and sport performance, irrespective of its kind.

The Kitchen Healer - The Journey to Becoming You (Hardcover): Jules Blaine Davis The Kitchen Healer - The Journey to Becoming You (Hardcover)
Jules Blaine Davis
R556 Discovery Miles 5 560 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The world is changing, and I am in the kitchen roasting carrots with olive oil, salt, and love. The silver kettle is just beginning to steam, and a glass vat of sage honey awaits the dip of my Grandma Lena's long, golden spoon." - Jules Blaine Davis The kitchens we grew up with set the template for how we nourish ourselves today. It is in the kitchen that we learn to create, feed, connect, grieve, taste, long, and love. Look at your relationship with your kitchen, and you uncover the unconscious recipe guiding your life. With The Kitchen Healer, Jules Blaine Davis invites women to find greater nourishment in body and soul by deepening their relationships with the hearth of the home, the kitchen. Though the book contains recipes - with ingredients both traditional and emotional - this is not a cookbook. This is a book about cooking up the life we deeply long to live. Davis believes that how we were or weren't nourished in our childhood kitchens shapes every aspect of our lives today, and it is through the kitchen that we may find healing from the stress, trauma, guilt, and overwhelm that so many of us carry through our lives. Through heartfelt guidance and photographs that perfectly capture the love and chaos our kitchens contain, Davis shows us that by making the kitchen the centerpiece of our homes, we are nourished far beyond food and cooking.

Why is it that some people react to seemingly trivial emotional upset - like failing an unimportant exam - with distress, while others power through life-changing tragedies showing barely any emotional upset whatsoever? How do some people shine brilliantly at public speaking when others stumble with their words and seem on the verge of an anxiety attack? Why do some people sink into all-consuming depression when life has dealt them a poor hand, while in others it merely increases their resilience? The difference between too much pressure and too little can result in either debilitating stress or enduring demotivation in extreme situations. However, the right level of challenge and stress can help people to flourish and achieve more than they ever thought possible. In The Stress Test, clinical psychologist and cognitive neuroscientist Professor Ian Robertson, armed with over four decades of research, reveals how we can shape our brain's response to pressure and answers the question: can stress ever be a good thing? The Stress Test is a revelatory study of how and why we react to pressure in the way we do, with real practical benefit to how we live.

We hear the terms trauma and PTSD more and more. Yet many people still believe that trauma can only result from experiences that are particularly extreme. But trauma is an emotional response that can stem from a wide variety of upsetting experiences, leaving us feeling anxious, weighed down by negative emotions or memories, or feeling like we lack security. As a licensed therapist, Kati Morton addresses this challenge: If we don't have an understanding of trauma and how it's defined, how can we work to overcome it? The urgency of meeting this challenge increases at a time when we are bombarded with a constant flow of frightening stories--about global pandemics, ecological disasters, riots, and mass shootings--that can trigger our emotional stress. We must find a balance between staying connected to the world on social media while avoiding the false facts, hate-filled comments, and passive-aggressive posts and accounts that feed negative thoughts. In Traumatized, Morton shares a unique perspective on trauma in the modern age, including: Tips to be more mindful of what we do and who we follow online, which is the key to improving our relationship with social media and stop spreading the trauma Helpful therapeutic techniques to heal from childhood trauma Skills to identify transgenerational trauma and begin to break harmful cycles in your home Whether to seek therapy or counseling. Ultimately, you'll learn how to identify and cope with your triggers, pay attention to how platforms and accounts can harm your mental health, and find the tools to manage what you can see online.

R2,319 Discovery Miles 23 190 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Sleeplessness, depression, anxiety... these are common symptoms of the burnout that often accompanies living with a loved one who has experienced some kind of traumatic stress. It's well known that the loss of a child, a life-threatening injury, sexual assault or combat experience can affect the victim in traumatic ways, but what's often overlooked is how this trauma affects those closest to the victim - the family.
Burnout in Families focuses on the emotional vulnerability of families exposed to the chronic or acute stress of one of its members. Editor Charles R. Figley brings together seven psychologists from around the United States to take a closer look at what's now known as secondary traumatic stress disorder - the burnout that occurs when family members care for or just live with other family members who have undergone a traumatic life event. The authors provide a comprehensive review of the available literature and offer solutions for treating and preventing family burnout and the marital and family discord that inevitably follows.
Burnout in Families is an ideal text for university-level psychology, family therapy and social work courses.
