In Sweat Your Prayers, internationally acclaimed movement and theater artist Gabrielle Roth translates to the printed page the insights of her nearly forty years of teaching personal and spiritual development. Her workshops, attended by thousands around the world, teach us to realize our potential for ecstasy as we experience movement and ritual-theater techniques. The book is a journey through five universal rhythms—flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical, and stillness. These rhythms can free the body and spirit from ordinary consciousness and catalyze motion deep in the psyche. Complete with personal stories and interactive exercises, Sweat Your Prayers reveals an ancient and contemporary method for unleashing a natural sense of movement, resulting in both personal power and presence of the soul.
Eric Muller has been trying to hack the girlfriend problem for half
his life. As a teenage geek, he discovered his gift for programming
computers-but his attempts to understand women only confirm that
he's better at writing code than connecting with human beings.
Brilliant, neurotic, and lonely, Eric spends high school in the
solitary glow of a screen.
By his early twenties, Eric's talent has made him a Silicon Valley
millionaire. He can coax girls into bed with ironic remarks and
carefully timed intimacies, but hiding behind wit and empathy gets
lonely, and he fears that love will always be out of reach.
So when Eric falls for the beautiful, fiercely opinionated Maya
Marcom, and she miraculously falls for him too, he's in new
territory. But the more he learns about his perfect girlfriend's
unresolved past, the further Eric's obsessive mind spirals into
confusion and doubt. Can he reconcile his need for order and logic
with the mystery and chaos of love?
This brilliant debut ushers Eric Muller-flawed, funny, irresistibly
endearing-into the pantheon of unlikely heroes. With an unblinking
eye for the absurdities and horrors of contemporary life, Gabriel
Roth gives us a hilarious and heartbreaking meditation on self
consciousness, memory, and love.
Imagine David Nicholls's One Day as retold by Woody Allen and
you'll get a pretty good idea of what to expect with Gabriel Roth's
The Unknowns. It's not easy to pursue the most alluring woman in
North America when you're a misfiring circuit of over-analytical
self-doubt and she has a way with a killer line and a perfectly
raised eyebrow. Even, that is, when you've survived your teen years
as an outcast in the school computer room to become a dot com
millionaire. But as Eric Muller refines his email technique, his
date patter, and his ability to shut up after sex, he finds there's
more to Maya Marcom than meets the eye. Will our hero be driven to
uncover the whole truth about his lover - or will they continue in
bliss and wonder? Welcome to the hilarious, neurotic, and
peculiarly perceptive world of The Unknowns.
Seit Bekanntwerden der vielen Falle sexueller Gewalt und
emotionalen Missbrauchs in padagogischen Institutionen steht die
Padagogik vor der Herausforderung, die Distanz- und
Naheverhaltnisse padagogischer Beziehungen neu zu thematisieren.
Dabei geht es auf der Beziehungsebene um die Klarung
missverstandlicher Semantiken und Strukturen, die eine
Uberschreitung gebotener Grenzen begunstigen. Auf der sachlichen
Ebene padagogischer Beziehungen sind Distanzen im Blick auf
Inhalten zu uberbrucken, die die Heranwachsenden vor allem im
Kontext der Schule nicht ohne Hilfe verstehen konnen. Das Buch
befasst sich mit Begriffen, Strukturen und Kontexten padagogischer
Beziehungen und gibt Antworten darauf, wie viel "Nahe" beim
Erziehen und Unterrichten notig ist, damit Kinder auf dem Weg zum
Erwachsenwerden ausreichend Wissen und Konnen erwerben und soziale
Zuwendung bzw. Unterstutzung erfahren konnen. Ebenso steht die
Reflexion der gebotenen "Distanz" in Erziehungsverhaltnissen an,
ohne die Heranwachsende die wunschenswerte Selbstandigkeit nicht
erreichen konnen.
