Il termine "resilienza" proviene dalla metallurgia: un metallo resiliente è il contrario di un metallo fragile; resiste agli urti senza spezzarsi...

"Wie ein glückliches und langes Leben gelingen kann, darüber haben sich bereits die Menschen vor vielen tausend Jahren Gedanken gemacht. Der römische Philosoph Seneca schrieb vor rund 2000 Jahren in seinem Werk "De Vita Beata" (deutsch: "Vom glückseligen Leben", in der Übersetzung von Otto Apelt, 1923) diese weisen Worte: "Wer [...] wünschte sich nicht ein glückliches Leben? Aber um zu erkennen, was uns zum Lebensglück verhelfen kann, dazu fehlt uns der richtige Blick."

Your brain is the control center for your body, responsible for everything from processing sensory information to regulating emotions and facilitating movement. It's a complex organ made up of billions of nerve cells, or neurons, that communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals.

Throughout the chapters, we'll explore topics such as brain nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, sleep, and cognitive behavioral therapy, among others.

Hinter dem Entschluss zu einer Suizidhandlung verbirgt sich oft eine verengte, ausweglos erscheinende Lebenssituation. Probleme werden als nicht mehr lösbar erlebt. Sie verdichten sich zu einer schweren Krise, die sich entweder schon länger angebahnt hat oder durch aktuelle kritische Lebensereignisse ausgelöst wurde. Hoffnung auf Veränderung besteht subjektiv nicht mehr. Ein Weiterleben unter solchen Umständen scheint nicht mehr sinnvoll.

Sleep is vitally important for our bodies. It allows us to regenerate and grow while we are young, and is also a great form of relaxation. We are designed to sleep for roughly one-third of our lives, and when we don’t get enough, it can have a serious knock-on effect for concentration, stamina, and mental agility. In this audiobook, Sleep: The Ultimate Guide to Get Better Rest and Cure Sleep Disorders and Insomnia, you will discover a range of tips that will help you to get a better night’s sleep.

Minimalism is not just a series of actions but also a total mind-set shift. It recognises that modern-day abundance has not increased our level of happiness - in fact we are less happy than generations before despite having more - and it argues that embracing less will allow us to live more fully. This handbook gives us the tools to achieve this complete life-changing mental shift, teaching us how to search for items and thoughts that add value to our lives and how to get rid of nonessential physical and mental clutter.

Is there really such a thing as a midlife crisis - a true crisis in a person's life that happens in midlife? Yes, there is. But fortunately for most of us, it is a fairly rare event. Unlike the midlife crisis, a midlife transition is a quasi-universal reaction to the major changes that take place in midlife, mentally, physically and in relationships. This book describes the powerful, dynamic forces that underlie both the midlife crisis and midlife transition and provides, through clinical case material, a detailed description of each.

Dr. Calvin Colarusso explains why adults need to play, maybe not as much as children do, but for the same reasons. Play is a way of mastering stress and trauma. It serves the same purpose for children and adults. The stresses of adulthood are, in their own way, more daunting than those of childhood. And we all have a need to master the traumatic overstimulation that characterizes our busy lives, to say nothing of the internal pressures that continually force us to deal with issues, relationships, and experiences.

Beginning in my teen years, I experienced intermittent panic attacks. Previous to this, I suffered prolonged episodes of free-floating anxiety (generalized worry and anxiousness). During my twenties, I found coping skills for my anxiety that were mostly self-taught, although I had seen mental health counselors for short periods of time in my late teens. These sessions were scheduled by my parents; during times I seemed to be lacking the ability to cope as I should, following major events, such as relocating to new schools.
