Approaches to Behavior
by Janis Roszler Wendy S. RapaportApproaches to Behavior provides information and simple tools that healthcare professionals can use to help patients move beyond feelings that prevent them from benefiting fully from any learning opportunity. Each chapter opens with an introduction to experts' newest psychological understanding about a common emotion. This is followed by a list of easy techniques healthcare professionals can employ with their patients. Each technique was contributed by experienced mental health experts who counsel people with diabetes. None of these techniques can take the place of the in-depth guidance mental healthcare professionals provide. Instead, this book is a first aid kit that experts can use to help patients start to move past strong emotions and become more receptive to vital information that will improve their lives and help them take control of their diabetes.
Approaching the Natural
by Biz Stone Sid Garza-HillmanSid Garza-Hillman, nutritionist, philosopher, actor, and musician introduces his original philosophy of health. Sid's philosophy is simple: the closer the human species moves by degrees to its natural design, the healthier and therefore happier it will be.In the years he has been a practicing nutritionist and health coach, Sid has honed an approach that makes achieving health and happiness a real possibility for virtually everyone. He has done this by addressing both the mental and physical aspects of achieving sustainable long-term health, and goes well beyond what any quick-fix diet/health plan can ever achieve. He passionately argues that health profoundly affects our happiness, and vice-versa, and applies his philosophy to nutrition, exercise, the mind, the family, and the world as a whole.Approaching the Natural: A Health Manifesto is accessible, clear, edgy and humorous. Sid distills his years of research into a book readers will want to carry with them as a quick reference when negotiating our most unnatural world - especially gen-x and gen-y'ers for whom there is a substantial lack of result-oriented health books that are this easy and actually fun to read.

Aprende de tu hambre emocional y libérate de la dieta: y dile adiós a la dieta
by Marisol SantillánComer nos “anestesia” por algunos momentos, pero por más que tapemos con comida nuestros vacíos, estos regresarán una y otra vez para recordarnos su paradójica presencia. ¿Qué hacer entonces? La sanación de la obesidad va mucho más allá de la creencia de que nuestro único problema es el peso y que una vez que esté controlado con alguna dieta, todo se arreglará. La verdadera solución pasa por reconocer que muchas veces el hambre que sentimos no es fisiológica, sino que obedece a necesidades emocionales que de no ser escuchadas y atendidas persistirán con su conocida carga de ansiedad y culpa.
Aprender a amar: Enamorarse conscientemente y relacionarse sin miedos
by OshoClaves para entender la naturaleza del amor y vivirlo de forma plena y satisfactoria. El amor debería ser una realidad en nuestra existencia, no solo un sueño o el tema de unos versos. Es un término que ha de cobrar vida. Y nunca es demasiado tarde para experimentar amor por primera vez. Debemos aprender a amar, ya que muy pocas personas saben cómo hacerlo. Todo el mundo piensa que el amor es necesario, que la vida sin él carece de sentido. Pero son muy pocos los que verdaderamente saben cómo amar y todo lo que hacen en nombre del amor no es amor, sino cualquier otra cosa. El amor muchas veces se funde con otros muchos conceptos: celos, cólera, odio, posesión, dominación, ego. Todos ellos venenos que destruyen el verdadero néctar: amar significa deshacerse de todas estas interferencias. Solo entonces, en ese preciso momento, un amor de una calidad inédita florecerá a nuestro alrededor. Osho

Aquinas on Human Self-Knowledge
by Therese Scarpelli CorySelf-knowledge is commonly thought to have become a topic of serious philosophical inquiry during the early modern period. Already in the thirteenth century, however, the medieval thinker Thomas Aquinas developed a sophisticated theory of self-knowledge, which Therese Scarpelli Cory presents as a project of reconciling the conflicting phenomena of self-opacity and privileged self-access. Situating Aquinas's theory within the mid-thirteenth-century debate and his own maturing thought on human nature, Cory investigates the kinds of self-knowledge that Aquinas describes and the questions they raise. She shows that to a degree remarkable in a medieval thinker, self-knowledge turns out to be central to Aquinas's account of cognition and personhood, and that his theory provides tools for considering intentionality, reflexivity and selfhood. Her engaging account of this neglected aspect of medieval philosophy will interest readers studying Aquinas and the history of medieval philosophy more generally.
