Download or read book The New Authority written by Haim Omer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haim Omer builds on his previous work to present a model of authority for parents, teachers and community workers that is suitable for today's free and pluralistic societies. This new authority contrasts with traditional authority in that it emphasizes self-control and persistence over control of the child, a network of support over a strict hierarchy, taking mutual responsibility for escalations over holding the child solely responsible, patience over threats, non-violent resistance over physical force, and transparency over secrecy. In addition to a thorough discussion of the underlying theory, The New Authority presents a practical program for families, schools and communities. Dr Omer provides specific instructions to combat violence and risky behavior at home and in school, increase parent and teacher interest and support, and implement interventions that increase safety, improve atmosphere and generate community cohesiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Dreamt I was Flying is an authentic, timeless and transformational book about a true and magical journey of healing, guided and supported by dreams, symbols, and synchronicities. In the time of chaos, insecurity and lack of leadership, we need to be our own authority. Gro Elisabeth Walle is reminding us that we need to trust our inner knowing and let our heart lead. When her life collapsed, Gro Elisabeth Walle finally had to choose between letting go – or giving up. When she chose to let go of everything that she owned and was known to, she discovered a never-ending supportive and magical universe. She learned to trust, she was surrounded by “road-signs” and supported by “unseen help”. She discovered the universe was just waiting to help her when her life forced her out of her comfort zone. She heard the words “read the signs” whispered again and again, continuously through her magical journey. That showed to be her rescue. She saw her life in perspective, and it all made sense: both her perceived pain-stories and her journey. It all became magical when she discovered every experience had been an attempt from her Higher Self to awake her from an unconscious life.

Book excerpt: “In pristine, elegant prose,” the Costa Prize–winning author “creates an indelible portrait of a mysterious woman” and her quest for total independence (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Maud enters Tim’s life as no one else could: by falling straight past him, seemingly to her death, then standing up and walking away. From that moment on, Tim is desperate to love her, rescue her, reach her. Yet there is nothing to suggest Maud has any need of him. She is already complete. A woman with a talent for survival, she works long hours and loves to sail—preferably on her own. When Maud finds her unfulfilling marriage tested by unspeakable tragedy, she attempts to escape from her husband and society’s hypocrisy. In her quest, she encounters the impossible and pushes her mind and body to their limits. A wise and thrilling portrait of an irreducible heroine who asks no permission and begs no pardon, The Crossing explores a truth that’s absent from most contemporary literature. “An extraordinary portrait of an enigmatic woman.” —The Guardian
