Showing titles in Friendship

Warum geraten Sie im Alltag immer wieder in ähnliche Konflikte? Weshalb laufen Gespräche mit Partnern, Freunden oder Kollegen nach denselben Mustern ab – auch wenn Sie eigentlich anderes erreichen wollen? Eric Berne zeigt in diesem Hörbuch, dass wir unser Leben wie ein Spiel führen, mit klaren Rollen und wiederkehrenden Abläufen. Wer diese Mechanismen erkennt, kann sie durchbrechen und Beziehungen auf eine neue Ebene heben. Dieses Hörbuch macht deutlich, wie unbewusste Spiele unser Verhalten bestimmen – in Liebe, Ehe, Familie oder Beruf.

For years, "Fisher King Mike" wandered the streets of LA, preaching to his people. On occasion, he'd share an open mic night with Michael Konik, who befriended the homeless man at a distance and offered a confused but sympathetic ear when the Fisher King lamented having to be so far away from his wife, Selena Gomez, and their several children. As the pair began to cautiously trust one another, confusion and distance gave way to friendship, and what came next astounded them both.

An assault survivor living in one of the poorest, most dangerous countries in the world, Esperance and other Congolese women shared their harrowing stories with Belinda. Their vulnerability set Belinda on a path of embracing empathy. If Esperance could love in the face of so much pain, maybe there is hope for the world, too.

"Freundschaft, das ist gerade auch in Zeiten von Insta-Friends und Tinder-Dates eine Konstante, an der ich mich festhalten kann." Jo Schück erzählt Geschichten über Freundschaft, verbindet sie mit gesellschaftspolitischen Analysen und wagt eine radikale These: In der heutigen Welt der Umbrüche und globalen Strukturen, in der Sicherheiten gesellschaftlich abhandenkommen und klassische Familienstrukturen sich auflösen, ist Freundschaft das Einzige, was zählt. Sie gibt der Generation Y in einer Welt des "Alles (und nichts) ist möglich" den Halt, den sie anderswo nirgends mehr findet.

We need companions on our spiritual journey. The modern world has taught us to value autonomy and individualism. Our churches often see spirituality as personal and private. But we cannot go long in our Christian pilgrimage before realizing that isolation leads to spiritual barrenness. We soon discover that our souls long for accompaniment, intimacy, and spiritual friendship. As a result, many Christians today are rediscovering the ancient practice of spiritual direction.

Tamara is soon drawn into the small community of Brewer Creek where she becomes the coordinator for an old fashioned Friendship Tree - a chart telling people who they can call on in times of trouble. And before long, she realizes the Friendship Tree does a lot more than organize fundraising events and working bees; it has the power to unite an entire town.

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...

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.
