By beginning a conversation that encourages self-examination and compassion, Combined Destinies invites listeners to look at how white Americans have been hurt by the very ideology that their ancestors created. Editors Ann Todd Jealous and Caroline T. Haskell, both experienced psychotherapists skilled at facilitating dialogue about racial issues, are cognizant of the challenges that even the thought of such conversations often presents. Their book is based on the premise that for positive and lasting change to occur, hearts as well as minds must be opened.

La idea fuerza de este libro parte de una frase de Buda: “El dolor es inevitable pero el sufrimiento es optativo”. Para transformar el sufrimiento en bienestar, Daniel López Rosetti propone gestionar la realidad a través de la sociabilización, a la que llama “modo sociable”, en lugar de “modo lucha”. De manera clara y precisa describe el sistema del estrés, el impacto negativo del dolor emocional y físico, la influencia que tienen en la calidad de vida tanto la percepción subjetiva como la no aceptación de las circunstancias...

Para empezar, analizaremos por qué los seres humanos distamos mucho de ser seres racionales. Entenderemos cómo procesamos la información de una manera que está lejos de ser objetiva porque, en definitiva, buscamos creer lo que queremos creer. Examinaremos por qué nuestra memoria no es fiable y cómo elaboramos falsos recuerdos de una manera perfecta.

Durante mucho tiempo se nos ha vendido un modelo de crianza que por lo general no funciona y nos hace caer en una espiral de frustración y hastío. Recurrimos a estrategias como "el rincón de pensar" o a complejos sistemas de recompensa que pueden ser eficaces a corto plazo, pero que no nos permiten ayudar a nuestros hijos a desarrollar las habilidades necesarias para la vida.

La Dra. Becky Kennedy, creadora del innovador método Good Inside, se ha propuesto deconstruir los modelos tradicionales de crianza con dos objetivos principale...

Hatred is human and current. It is an intrinsic part of what can happen between people. Personal experiences can lead people to hate someone. In society and even on a global level, hatred is again and again the motor of misunderstanding and often also of violence between people. Sometimes hate smolders almost unconsciously; at other times he is furious and serves as a flag for serious violence.

Belonging is the feeling of being a part of a group that values, respects, and cares for us—a feeling that we can all cultivate in even the smallest corners of social life.

Zwei Hörbücher in einer Box! 1. "Psychologie der Massen": Was passiert mit dem Individuum, wenn es sich in einer Gruppe wiederfindet? Wie ist es zu erklären, dass intelligente Menschen sich in der Masse zu Dingen hinreißen lassen, die sie als Einzelne niemals tun würden?

Es ist erstaunlich und spricht für den Autor, dass die eingängig erklärte Analyse zeitlos wirkt und die Hörer den Eindruck gewinnen, das Buch sei tatsächlich viel jünger. 2. "Massenpsychologie und Ich-Analyse": Was ist eine Masse?

Dr. Kenneth Clark visited rundown and under-resourced segregated schools across America, presenting Black children with two dolls: a white one with hair painted yellow and a brown one with hair painted black. The psychological experiment Kenneth developed with his wife, Mamie, designed to measure how segregation affected Black children's perception of themselves and other Black people, was enlightening—and horrifying.

Just like a drug, fear becomes an unhealthy mental and emotional dependency that must be broken.
