Showing titles in Friendship

Destined to be a classic. . . . . Cope makes us want to risk making real, intentional human connections-and makes us long to celebrate them, and to allow them to transform us into fully-conscious and fully-alive human beings.'- Geneen Roth, New York Times best-selling author of Women, Food and...

When Naima Coster met Lila, they were girls of color in a predominantly white private school in Manhattan. As adolescents they found each other and needed each other. As each comes of age, and new bonds pull them apart, the friendship splinters. What happens when Naima and Lila turn to one another again - this time as women? And what will it take to recapture the connection that once meant the world to them? 

La reflexión ciceroniana sobre la amistad se constituye como uno de los grandes referentes que vinculan la virtud cívica y los intereses personales de realización del ser humano en la comunidad. Recuperar el sentido de verdad, siguiendo el modelo estético de la amicitia que propone Cicerón implica dimensionar en su forma más trascendente la disposición humana de la comprensión hermenéutica y la empatía con el semejante.

Friendship is one of the most important yet most underrated necessities of life. A sense of connection and belonging is a key part of being human, and there are boundless benefits from having close friends who know everything about you, can help you out in a pinch, can be there with you through all the joys and hardships of life, and for whom you can be such a friend in turn. But making and keeping friends becomes increasingly difficult when we become adults with busy careers, family responsibilities, and dispersed locations.

Briallen Hopper's Hard to Love honours the categories of loves and relationships beyond marriage, the ones that are often treated as invisible or seen as secondary - friendships, kinship with adult siblings, care teams that form in times of illness, or various alternative family formations. She also values difficult and amorphous loves like loving a challenging job or inanimate objects that can't love you back.

Pat Conroy was America's poet laureate of family dysfunction. A larger-than-life character and the author of such classics as The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini, Conroy was remembered by everybody for his energy, his exuberance, and his self-lacerating humor. Michael Mewshaw's The Lost Prince is an intimate memoir of his friendship with Pat Conroy, one that involves their families and those days in Rome when they were both young - when Conroy went from being a popular regional writer to an internationally best-selling author. 

"Le relazioni sono il nostro specchio" è il titolo di un audiolibro proposto dal Centro Studi Bhaktivedanta e tratto da una conferenza tenuta da Marco Ferrini, esperto di cultura vedica e direttore del Centro. Ognuno ha la sua via da percorrere, la sua missione da compiere nella vita, perché ha tendenze ed esperienze peculiari, ha una sua storia e un percorso unico che lo può portare a trasformarsi, ad evolvere, a realizzarsi. Non forzate la relazione a svilupparsi esattamente come volete voi.

In questo audio, Marco Ferrini ci spiega in che modo possiamo apprendere l'arte di "parlare con il cuore". È necessaria la giusta predisposizione e un atto di volontà per rivedere la propria modalità di comunicare, di rapportarsi agli altri ed entrare in empatia. È molto più facile avviare delle relazioni, che non prendersene cura e saperle mantenere nel tempo. Relazioni autentiche, durature ed evolutive necessitano di un buon dialogo, non solo razionale e mentale, ma vivo e consapevole della propria emotività e di quella altrui.

It began as another newspaper assignment, a celebrity profile of the children's television icon. But in Fred Rogers, Texas journalist Tim Madigan found more than a fascinating subject. From their first meeting in 1995, at Rogers's invitation, the two became unlikely friends, a deep and abiding relationship that lasted until Rogers's death in 2003. In that time, Madigan found Rogers to be much more than the calm and compassionate personality of television. He was a person of unique human greatness who embodied love, compassion and wisdom his every waking moment. 

Come si fa a parlare con il cuore? Come comunicare in maniera benefica per se stessi e gli altri? In che modo calmare e superare i conflitti? Parlare con il cuore non è un vezzo poetico, ci spiega Marco Ferrini: è andare al centro di noi stessi, vedere ciò che frammenta il nostro rapporto con gli altri e migliorarlo; è sperimentare le regole d'oro della comunicazione empatica in ogni relazione. Di quali regole si tratta? Come iniziare ad avere una comunicazione di qualità con se stessi e gli altri che possa diventare il nostro stile di vita?

"La ricerca di Armonia nelle Relazioni" è il titolo di un audiolibro proposto dal Centro Studi Bhaktivedanta e tratto da una conferenza tenuta da Marco Ferrini, esperto di cultura vedica e direttore del Centro. Le relazioni affettive rappresentano il patrimonio più grande di ogni individuo perché gli consentono di dare e ricevere amore, che è necessità intrinseca della natura umana, e possono essere fonte della più grande gioia, anche se spesso sono fonte di grande sofferenza.

In a time when many women feel lonely and isolated, Girls' Club calls us to embrace the delight and comfort that can be found in life-giving friendships with women - and to cultivate relationships that not only offer emotional affirmation and acceptance, but also inspire, educate, and stretch us to live out our God-given potential.
