Ekman and Friesen''s breakthrough research on the facial expression of emotion uses scores of photographs showing emotions of surprise, fear, disgust, anger, happiness, and sadness. The authors of UNMASKING THE FACE explain how to identify these basic emotions correctly and how to tell when people try to mask, simulate, or neutralize them. It features several practical exercises that help actors, teachers, salesmen, counselors, nurses, law-enforcement personnel and physicians -- and everyone else who deals with people -- to become adept, perceptive readers of the facial expressions of emotions.

"A Natural History of Human Morality" offers the most detailed account to date of the evolution of human moral psychology. Based on extensive experimental data comparing great apes and human children, Michael Tomasello reconstructs how early humans gradually became an ultra-cooperative and, eventually, a moral species. There were two key evolutionary steps, each founded on a new way that individuals could act together as a plural agent "we". The first step occurred as ecological challenges forced early humans to forage together collaboratively or die. To coordinate these collaborative activities, humans evolved cognitive skills of joint intentionality, ensuring that both partners knew together the normative standards governing each role. To reduce risk, individuals could make an explicit joint commitment that "we" forage together and share the spoils together as equally deserving partners, based on shared senses of trust, respect, and responsibility. The second step occurred as human populations grew and the division of labor became more complex. Distinct cultural groups emerged that demanded from members loyalty, conformity, and cultural identity. In becoming members of a new cultural "we", modern humans evolved cognitive skills of collective intentionality, resulting in culturally created and objectified norms of right and wrong that everyone in the group saw as legitimate morals for anyone who would be one of "us". As a result of this two-stage process, contemporary humans possess both a second-personal morality for face-to-face engagement with individuals and a group-minded "objective" morality that obliges them to the moral community as a whole.

Revision of: Understanding and treating sex addiction / Paul Hall. 2013.

Guddommelige Samtaler er en bog, der handler om samtaler mellem Lisbeth Munk Ralsted og hendes afdøde mor Aase Munk Ralsted. Aase Munk Ralsted døde i 2008 af kræft i hjernen. Den kræftsygdom som betegnes Glioblastom. Bogen fortæller om hendes liv som hun ser det nu fra den anden side, den fortæller om hendes tanker og følelser mens hun levede og om årsagen til hendes sygdom. Hun fotæller om det ansvar vi har hver især til hinanden mens vi lever og om hvor meget det betyder for at vi lytter godt efter os selv. Hun ønsker at viderebringe, oplysning om, at frygt, vrede og sorg er meget store følelser, som har en meget stor kraft i at få celler til at dele sig i en uhensigtsmæssig retning. Bogen skildrer at tanker har kraft, at tanker skaber følelser og disse følelser kan sætte sig til sygdom hvis de ikke bearbejdes, og at forskellige følelser knytter sig til bestemte områder i vores krop. Aase Munk Ralsted beskriver livet efter døden, at døden ikke eksisterer, men kun er en port til en anden verden. Bogen henvender sig til dig, der er interesseret i at vide mere om livet efter døden, den henvender sig til dig, der har mistet, til dig der ser at sygdom er noget vi selv skaber og med de rette betingelser og hjælp, kan vi også selv gøre noget ved den langt hen ad vejen. Den henvender sig til dig, der mærker at Gudommelige Samtaler er en bog, der taler til hjertet i dig. Bogen er en spirituel lærebog, der lægger op til kommende foredrag om kontakt til den anden verden, til spirituel sygdomslære, til psykisk vold og om efterlivet på mange planer.

Born in the projects of Spanish Harlem to a disabled mother and an abusive father, Steve DeMasco spent most of his childhood lost and angry. Drifting from one job to another, he stalked the streets as a troubled youth, barely surviving while all of his peers were either dead or in jail, until he found himself on the steps of the Shaolin Temple.Originating more than 1,500 years ago in ancient China, the Shaolin monks were simple farmers and worshippers of Buddhism who learned to protect themselves from the constant danger of bandits and overlords with a kind of "meditation in motion," a nonlethal form of self-defense that didn't violate their vows of peace. As their legend grew, they became known as the Shaolin Fighting Monks, revered across the land for their spiritual dedication, enlightened message, and amazing fighting skills.DeMasco entered the Shaolin Temple to battle the demons of his past. But he got more than he bargained for. Besides learning how to wield weapons and take on multiple attackers at once, he discovered an ancient philosophy that helped melt away preconceived notions of the world, and gave him a powerful platform on which to live and grow. In The Shaolin Way, he adapts these teachings for the modern world, singling out ten secrets of survival that can help anyone live a more fulfilled life.

According to many clinical psychologists, when the mind is forced to endure a horrifying experience, it has the ability to bury the entire memory of it so deeply within the unconscious that it can only be recalled in the form of a flashback triggered by a sight, a smell, or a sound. Indeed, therapists and lawyers have created an industry based on treating and litigating the cases of people who suddenly claim to have "recovered" memories of everything from child abuse to murder.This book reveals that despite decades of research, there is absolutely no controlled scientific support for the idea that memories of trauma are routinely banished into the unconscious and then reliably recovered years later. Since it is not actually a legitimate psychological phenomenon, the idea of "recovered memory"--and the movement that has developed alongside it--is thus closer to a dangerous fad or trendy witch hunt.

To Have Or to Be? is one of the seminal books of the second half of the 20th century. Nothing less than a manifesto for a new social and psychological revolution to save our threatened planet, this book is a summary of the penetrating thought of Eric Fromm. His thesis is that two modes of existence struggle for the spirit of humankind: the having mode, which concentrates on material possessions, power, and aggression, and is the basis of the universal evils of greed, envy, and violence; and the being mode, which is based on love, the pleasure of sharing, and in productive activity. To Have Or to Be? is a brilliant program for socioeconomic change.
