How does the situation we're in influence the way we behave and think? Professors Ross and Nisbett eloquently argue that the context we find ourselves in substantially affects our behaviour in this timely reissue of one of social psychology's classic textbooks.

This update of the bestselling book on Applied Kinesiology introduces a diagnostic method that uses manual muscle testing to assess the body's structure, chemistry, and psyche Manual muscle testing is a standard medical diagnostic technique that utilizes full-strength contraction of the muscle tested. An Applied Kinesiology (AK) muscle test uses this method to not only assess the general integrity of the muscle but to also reveal structural, chemical, and mental weaknesses. To perform an AK muscle test, the practitioner applies light pressure that the client then resists. If the client cannot resist the pressure, the muscle 'tests weak,' indicating a structural problem or imbalance that needs to be resolved. Further applications include working with a muscle that tests strong 'in the clear' as a diagnostic tool to determine the effect of stimuli including touch, nutrients, medicines, allergens, emotions, poor posture, and stressful memories.Opening with a detailed description of the history and applications of Applied Kinesiology, this book covers the theory, procedure, and interpretation of the muscle test, including diagnosis and correction techniques for areas of weakness. Thirty-three muscle tests for different areas of the body are accompanied by instructive photographs with superimposed anatomical drawings that demonstrate the method and various treatment points. A useful appendix includes a glossary of anatomical terms and special vocabulary; a step-by-step plan for conducting a session; and a list of contacts and sources for Applied Kinesiology materials. Offering a new preface and additional techniques in the areas of manual medicine, orthomolecular medicine, and psychology, Applied Kinesiology, Revised Edition shares the author's discoveries as well as anecdotal observations to stimulate further research.Table of Contents1.

"Wild Nights cuts through the illusions of modern spirituality into the depth of life before God. Impure, soaked with all bodily liquids, pierced by clear recognition of death, wide opened with the power of love-living as love-in any moment of daily life. If you do not choose to be a hermit, if you want to practice awakening within relationships, in the realm where sex and death are such powerful momentums-you'd better read this book, and not only once."-Rabbi Ohad Ezrahi, author of Paths of EmpowermentMeet Mykonos, both scurrilous madman and the voice of truth. Wild Nights presents David Deida's remarkable account of his days with the unconventional teacher who revealed to him the deeper wisdom of the erotic path to the divine.From our very first encounter to the "burden of bliss" that is his parting gift, Mykonos challenges our understanding of what makes a spiritual life. Brutally candid, he offers his teaching to anyone ready to listen, with an uncanny ability to see into the hearts and minds of his students better than they can their own. Charged with provocative scenes of unbridled passion and play, Wild Nights explodes with spiritual insights into our choice to "open as love, or close and suffer"; yogic sexual techniques including circular breathing and expanding feeling beyond the self and into the heart of a lover; and why, for some, full sexual expression is a requirement of spiritual maturation.For its honest depiction of the spiritual teacher and student relationship-and the questions it demands we ask about our own sexuality-Wild Nights proclaims David Deida a guiding light in the often cloudy realm of sex and spirit.

More than 100,000 copies sold!Millions of Americans know yoga as a superb form of exercise and as a potent source of calm in our stress-filled lives. Far fewer are aware of the full promise of yoga as a 4,000-year-old practical path of liberation-a path that fits the needs of modern Western seekers with startling precision. Now Stephen Cope, a Western-trained psychotherapist who has lived and taught for more than ten years at the largest yoga center in America, offers this marvelously lively and irreverent "pilgrim's progress" for today's world. He demystifies the philosophy, psychology, and practice of yoga, and shows how it applies to our most human dilemmas: from loss, disappointment, and addiction, to the eternal conflicts around sex and relationship. And he shows us that in yoga, "liberation" does not require us to leave our everyday lives for some transcendent spiritual plane-life itself is the path. Above all, Cope shows how yoga can heal the suffering of self-estrangement that pervades our society, leading us to a new sense of purpose and to a deeper, more satisfying life in the world.

SELV MOR(D) er en skræmmende og tankevækkende beretning om overgreb, der ikke endte, selv da et liv sluttede. SELV MOR(D) er skrevet i kærlighed til min enæggede tvillingesøster Bettina (kaldet Tina). I min sorgbearbejdningsproces, som startede mange år efter Tinas død, skulle jeg erfare, at vi som enæggede tvillinger var forbundet i UBETINGET KÆRLIGHED. Det var tydeligt Tinas ønske, at jeg skulle skrive vores historie via denne bog, hvilket gav dyb mening. Tina og jeg bar begge på CHOK & TRAUMER, som vi ulykkeligvis blev udsat for af en narcissistisk mor i vores tidlige opvækst. Det fik store KONSEKVENSER for os begge, men på hver vores måde. Vi manglede begge ET BEVIDST NÆRVÆR, ikke blot fra vores mor, men også i det etablerede system. Som efterladt, enægget tvilling stod jeg tilbage med en halv bevidsthed. En skræmmende følelse af at være skåret midt over i min krop. SELV MOR(D) er skrevet for at fremme ET BEVIDST NÆRVÆR og ikke mindst i kærlighed til alle børn. I mit hjerte ved jeg, at Tinas selvmord ikke var selvvalgt, men det er op til den enkelte læsere at vurdere. Det er mit og Tinas ønske, at bogen skal læses med hjertet.

Høje ambitioner uden tilsvarende karrieremuligheder skaber frustration. Sådan er det også med den moderne maskulinitet, der befinder sig mellem elskovskunst og inseminering. 1970’ernes forsøg på at ændre mandens natur har ført til store frustrationer - for kvinderne. Mænd har det tilsyneladende herligt som naturens muntre sønner, men hvad med kvinderne? Og sønnerne? Hvilke konsekvenser har det for den nye generation af drenge at se deres fædre indordne sig under et skørteregime? Bogen skildrer den moderne mands identitetsproblemer i historier, hvor man følger flere forskellige mænds skæbne. I et forsøg på at finde betingelserne og mulighederne for udvikling af en maskulin identitet, afsøger bogen tidens overgangsritualer, der viser sig at friste en diskret tilværelse, polterabend stunts, bryllupsceremonier, ritualer omkring sokkeklipning, anvisninger fra film, litteratur og fodbold. Bogen forsøger desuden at skildre hvordan det går til at en dreng forvandler sig til en mand. For som Oscar Wilde skrev: "Alle piger bliver som deres mødre, det er deres tragedie. Ingen dreng bliver som sin mor, det er hans tragedie"."En yderst tankevækkende, underholdende, indsigtsfuld og ikke mindst inspirerende bog."Klaus Petersen - Formand for Dansk Psykoterapeutisk Selskab for Psykologer.

"Ægteskabets Nedtur - det store opbrud i vores seksual- og samlivsstruktur" afslører den egentlige årsag til vores voksende ægteskabelige uformuenhed. I takt med at vi udvikler os, bliver vi mere og mere hele mennesker, og dermed er vores ægteskabstalent degenerende. Vi er ganske enkelt ikke mere så ægteskabsegnede i dag som vi var i fortiden. Bogen forklarer årsagen til, at vi bliver mindre og mindre ægteskabsduelige og tegner et strålende billede af vores fremtid som selvstændige, selvkørende og alkærlige væsner. Bogen baserer sig på Martinus skarpsindige analyse af vores seksuelle polforvandling.

NØGLEN TIL THAILANDOm kultur, kommunikation og ledelse.Når man lander i Bangkok, mødes man af en moderne storby, der på mange måder ligner Vesten. Men når man kradser lidt i lakken, viser det sig hurtigt, at alt fungerer helt anderledes, end man er vant til. Nøglen til Thailand er opdelt i 4 dele, der trin for trin giver indblik i den thailandske kultur. Til forskel fra det meste anden litteratur på området nøjes denne bog ikke med at beskrive, hvordan det thailandske samfund fungerer. Den går spadestikket dybere og forklarer, hvorfor det fungerer, som det gør. Gennem en erhvervspsykologisk indfaldsvinkel samles trådene til konkrete ledelses og kommunikationsværktøjer. Bogen henvender sig bredt til alle, der vil samarbejde eller hand-le med thaier: Fra entreprenøren, der vil starte egen virksomhed med et skrabet startbudget, over handelsfolk til folk, der skal lede underafdelinger af multinationale selskaber. Endelig henvender den sig til baglandet, der skal udvælge og holde kontakt til udstationerede medarbejdere.Nøglen til Thailand bygger på en interviewundersøgelse blandt så-vel danske som thailandske erhvervsfolk, på eksisterende litteratur samt på forfatterens egne erfaringer gennem mere end 20 år. De enkelte emner belyses løbende med interviewpersonernes erfaringer og kommentarer.
