Download or read book Quo Vadis written by Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written at a time of global pandemic, when we have been forced to confront age-old existential questions—Why are we here? Where are we going?—perhaps for the first time, Quo Vadis? is extraordinarily relevant to leaders, managers and anyone who wants to bring meaning and authenticity into their work and life. Manfred Kets de Vries argues that we need to address these fundamental and disturbing questions if we are to live fully and meaningfully. Too many people wake up on a Monday morning and do the same things they have done every Monday. They go to work and function on autopilot without questioning their purpose. But how can we make sure our lives are rich and fulfilling? How do we know we’re on the right track? This is a book about death and the fear of death, about angst and absurdity; but it is also about endurance, honesty, well-being, responsibility, living with hard truths, creating meaning—and happiness. Quo Vadis? makes us look full on at the things we prefer not to see. It is a short book that pulls no punches but is far from bleak. Instead, Kets de Vries shows that our life is enriched, and our ability to make meaning and find happiness is increased, when we acknowledge the inevitable price we have to pay for knowing our own mind and understanding our inevitable end.

Download or read book Quo Vadis written by Robert J. Williams and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In QUO VADIS (Latin for "where are you going?"), the author uses a narrative approach, inviting readers to walk with him down a trail that leads to a wholly different vision of their place in the universe. The trail begins with a radically different solution to what a British physicist calls "one of the greatest sources of mystery to mankind." Once the mystery is solved and its implications recognized, millions of people in all walks of life will be ready to reject the nihilistic worldviews shaped in the past century by what Einstein, in his old age, called the dehumanizing "scientific and technical mentality." Then the people can give a bold, confident answer to the quo vadis question addressed to all of humanity in the new millennium.
Download or read book Emotional and Narcissistic Abuse written by J Vandeweghe and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you feel like you're no longer the person you used to be? Do you feel like all your beautiful traits have been stripped away? Are you struggling to distinguish what is real and what is not...? Chances are you've been strategically trauma bonded to a Narcissist for quite some time, living in a false reality.The casual tossing-around of the word "narcissist" has led many people to falsely believe that a narcissist is simply someone who has an inflated sense of confidence and perhaps a slightly inflated ego, too. Unfortunately, the dictionary reinforces this belief with its description of a narcissist, stating that they are "a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves." This is more likely to be the definition of someone who is arrogant and not someone who is narcissistic. The reality of a narcissist is much darker than that. Narcissists do tend to think incredibly highly of themselves, but the reality of who they are and what they do is extremely intricate and well-played. Narcissism is an intricate, well-constructed series of traits wrapped up in one mental illness that is extremely damaging to all who cross the paths of a narcissist, especially their lovers. Some people are known to possess narcissistic-like qualities, but this is entirely different from what a true narcissist is. A true narcissist is a master at lying, phenomenal at deception, and incredibly talented at curating codependent victims. They are powerful. Because a narcissist is generally slow and consistent in their approach, they are masters at tearing down other people to the point that the other person develops an addiction to the narcissist. The narcissist is not just in love with getting attention; they are completely addicted to it. That is the basis for their entire mental illness. It is what drives them and what results in them masterfully playing out all of their puppeteering behaviors. If you are thinking about reading this book, it is likely because you are seeking support for leaving from an abusive, narcissistic relationship or desperately trying to find ways to heal. This book will educate you on complex topics, featuring: Narcissism Narcissistic Personality Disorder Traits of the Narcissist Signs and Symptoms of Narcissistic Abuse Creation of the Narcissist False-Self and True-Self Characteristics of a Narcissists Target (Victim) The Cycles of Abuse Long-term Damage to the Victim How to Heal Your Sense of Self Strategies to Safely Escape the Narcissist and Prevent Relapse Narcissists Manipulation Tactics Terminology A Mini Handbook for Victims And plenty more This book will provide you with great value and insight on everything you are going through and what you need to do next. If you are still in the relationship, this will support you in the process of beginning to demystify everything that has been going on and recognizing the reality of what you are experiencing. As you will learn, this is an essential part of breaking free from the relationship and healing. I hope that this book finds you well and safe and that everything within these pages supports you in understanding more about your relationship. I also hope it helps you to safely leave your relationship so that you can move on to the healing process and eventually resume a happy, healthy lifestyle.

Download or read book Unity of Body and Soul or Mind Brain Being written by Marcus Knaup and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between our living body and our soul, our mental expressions of life and our physical environment, are both classical topics for discussion and ones which currently present themselves as part of a truly exciting philosophical debate: are we today still able to speak of a “soul”? And what is meant by a (living) body (German: “Leib”)? Does our brain dictate what we will and do? Or do we have free will? Why are we the same people tomorrow that we were yesterday? Given the discoveries of the modern neural sciences, can human beings still be understood in the context of the unity of body and soul? Or should we rather define ourselves as mind-brain beings (German: Gehirn-Geist-Gestalten)? Marcus Knaup explores these questions and discusses the most relevant approaches and arguments concerning the (living) body-soul debate. His own approach to current chal-lenges presented by modern brain research emanates from his bringing together Aristotelian Hylomorphism and phenomenology of the living body (German: “Leibphänomenologie”).

This book was released on 2002 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of the increasing violence in American schools, educators are being asked to include character education in the classroom. Ryan, Sweeder, and Bednar (all education, La Salle U., Philadelphia) contend that the cultural narcissism prevalent in the U.S. makes it difficult to effectively teach character education. In this text, the authors provide a brief history of character education in the U.S. and examine various aspects of cultural narcissism, the components of the moral system (self-understanding, social cognition, moral judgment, moral sentiments), and ways to use traditional classroom practices (instruction, behavioral management, assessment) and educational technologies to promote the moral system. Three chapters give practical suggestions for fostering character education within specific academic disciplines. For educators and administrators, but accessible to the interested general reader.
