Download or read book Powerful Reflexes Shape Your Life written by Bärbel Hölscher and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2014-02-07 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insufficiently integrated infant reflex patterns are often still active in school children and even in adults. This condition can considerably reduce their learning processes and well-being and can thus seriously infringe upon the quality of their lives. The author’s intention is to raise awareness for the concept that certain motor reactions might be attributable to particular reflex patterns. In case of intervention later on in life, different symptoms related to persisting infant reflex patterns can then be associated more readily. Even if a more detailed analysis of motor patterns can be acquired with this book, the author emphasizes that the overall picture should never be neglected. Behaviour patterns are obviously also influenced by education and the environment, however not integrated infant reflexes and the different behaviour patterns related to them often cause a wide range of responses in educators. Natural primary movement patterns, i.e. reflex patterns, are the basis for infant, child and adult behaviour. A human being can develop her/his movements, emotions, thoughts and actions on this basis, so that s/he can lead her/his life in the most self-reliant way. Reflexes and their time-appropriate integration build the foundation for life. This book is addressed to all parents, paediatricians, therapists and all other interested people who support and accompany the development of our children. In a chronological list of reflexes the different movements are described in detail. A drawing for each reflex is included to facilitate recognition. It is important to know that the movements that can trigger reflex reactions should not be activated in a child, for this could harm the child’s development and healthy maturation.The exercise introduced in this book can help reduce persisting infant reflex action. The exact performance of the exercise can be viewed on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNSbKnFBVpg.

Learning and memory retention, including parallels to computer memory and what they might tell us about our own mental capacity. Development of the brain throughout the life span, with a look at the aging brain. Ackerman provides an enlightening chapter on the connection between the brain's physical condition and various mental disorders and notes what progress can realistically be made toward the prevention and treatment of stroke and other ailments.

Book excerpt: With New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Hanson's four steps, you can counterbalance your brain's negativity bias and learn to hardwire happiness in only a few minutes each day.

But each day is filled with opportunities to build inner strengths and Dr. Rick Hanson, an acclaimed clinical psychologist, shows what you can do to override the brain’s default pessimism. Hardwiring Happiness lays out a simple method that uses the hidden power of everyday experiences to build new neural structures full of happiness, love, confidence, and peace. You’ll learn to see through the lies your brain tells you. Dr. Hanson’s four steps build strengths into your brain to make contentment and a powerful sense of resilience the new normal. In just minutes a day, you can transform your brain into a refuge and power center of calm and happiness.
Download or read book Right Risk written by Bill Treasurer and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2003-07-03 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We must take risks if we are to grow personally and professionally. Risks are a part of a fully-lived life. But in the commotion of today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, people have become disconnected from the wise counsel of their inner resources, hampering their ability to make meaningful choices. Consequently, risks are increasingly being taken in an impulsive, haphazard, and often reckless way. In Right Risk, Bill Treasurer draws on the experiences and insights of successful risk-takers (including his own experiences as a daredevil high diver) to detail ten principles that readers can use to take risks with greater intelligence and confidence. Right Risk is about taking more deliberate and intentional risks in an increasingly complex world. It aims to answer such questions as: How do I know which risks to take and which to avoid? How do I balance the need to take more risks with the need to preserve my safety? How do I muster up the courage to take risks when it is so much easier not to? How do I confront all those people who keep telling me what a mistake it would be to take the risk? And, most importantly, How do I make risk-taking less of an anxiety-provoking experience? Right Risk will help readers take risks with greater discipline, focus, and maturity-to confidently face life's challenges and take advantage of life's opportunities.
