Feeling Seen: Reconnecting in a Disconnected World
by Jody CarringtonDisconnection has become an epidemic, and it may require a revolutionary effort to get us back together—a reconnection revolution. Staying connected in this human race is the most direct route to happiness. But never have we been more disconnected. A call to simply connect isn’t enough any longer. Connection is what we’re wired for, and it can be easy: waving at your neighbour, going on that second date, buying coffee for the person behind you. The hard part comes when we are called on to reconnect, to repair or re-engage, especially after we’ve been wronged, alienated or hurt. We all desperately want to get it right, but this requires another step, which is the magic each of us so often misses: the act of seeing. As simple as it is complex, it all comes down to this truth: when we’re feeling seen, we will rise. Feeling Seen is a timely work with a timeless message. Written on a blueprint of theory, with a road map of reconnection (including three simple stops) and a way back for when we get lost, it leads to a place where all of those who share the human race will truly see—in ourselves as well as one another—our differences, our sorrows and our joys.
Feeling Strong: How Power Issues Affect Our Ability to Direct Our Own Lives
by Ethel S. PersonIn Feeling Strong, noted psychoanalyst Ethel S. Person redefines the notion of power. Power is often narrowly understood as the force exerted by the politicians and business leaders who seem to be in charge and by the rich and famous who monopolize our headlines. The whiff of evil we often catch when the subject of power is in the air comes from this one conception of power-- the drive for dominance over other people, or, in its most extreme form, an overriding and often ruthless lust for total command. But this is far too limited a definition of power.Pointing to a more fulfilling sense of self-empowerment than is being touted in pop-psychology manuals of our time, Feeling Strong shows us that power is really our ability to produce an effect, to make something we want to happen actually take place. Power is a desire and a drive, and it central in our lives, dictating much of our behavior and consuming much of our interior lives.We all have a need to possess power, use it, understand it and negotiate it. This holds true not just in mediating our sex and love lives, our family lives and friendships, our work relationships but in seeking to realize our dreams, whether in pursuit of our ambitions, expression of our creative impulses, or in our need to identify with something larger than ourselves. These separate kinds of power are best described as interpersonal power and personal power, respectively, and they call on different parts of our psyche. Ideally, we acquire competence in both domains.Drawing from her expertise honed in clinical practice, as well as from examples in literature and true-life vignettes, Person shows how we can achieve authentic power, a fundamental and potentially benevolent part of human nature that allows us to experience ourselves as authentically strong. To find something that matters; to live life at a higher pitch; to feel inner certainty; to find a personality of your own and effectively plot our own life story -- these are the forms of power explored in the book. To achieve and maintain such empowerment always entails struggle and is a life-long journey. Feeling Strong will lead the way.
Feeling at Home
by Alexandra StoddardMost decorating books omit the most important element of the home: you. Does your home reflect who you really are? "Feeling at Home" focuses on this most essential aspect of decorating: creating a home that is truly your emotional center. Every room and object should answer your needs and make you feel more human and whole. Alexandra Stoddard gently leads us through a process of self-attunement and self-expression in which we discover not only our practical needs, but also our yearnings--perhaps a sunny spot for reading; a colorful nook for ironing; an inviting place for paperwork. She urges us to question the rules and to never "pre-compromise" by talking ourselves out of our true desires. With imaginative and practical examples from her personal and professional life, she helps us discover countless ways to express ourselves at home and instantly feel comfort, pleasure, and ease. Why settle for merely being "in" our homes when we can be "at home?" "Feeling at Home" puts us on the path to home as we've always dreamed it could be.
Feelings Buried Alive Never Die
by Karol K. TrumanTruman writes: "In the 90's self-examination of feelings and emotions began receiving a focus that is contributing to an emotional cleansing and healing of major proportions. At long last, humankind's willingness to retreat from denial, to own the source of their problems, accept responsibility for them and become accountable for the feelings and thoughts which created them, is establishing an energy that is opening the channels for bringing the inner peace people are so desperately seeking. People everywhere are questioning, seeking, and striving to understand what makes them tick. They want to find the cause of their suffering, their pain, and their problems. They also want to learn how to alleviate these problems and heal themselves. Perhaps what we have not comprehended before, is that our experiences in life are actually our own state of mind being projected outward. When we have a state of mind that indicates inner peace, joy, love and well-being--then peace, joy, love and well-being is what we naturally project outward and, consequently, these positive states of mind bring us positive experiences." This file should make an excellent embossed braille copy.

Feherty: The Remarkably Funny and Tragic Journey of Golf's David Feherty
by John FeinsteinThe definitive biography of enigmatic golfer, commentator, and performer David Feherty—one of the most universally beloved figures in the game. John Feinstein, who has spent four decades finding intriguing sports characters and narratives and turning them into classic books, chronicles the life and career of David Feherty. The two have known each other for years, beginning with Feinstein&’s work on A Good Walk Spoiled, researched and written at a time when Feherty was an excellent player, who won five times in Europe and was on the '91 Ryder Cup team, but also a functioning alcoholic. In retirement from the game, Feherty has sobered up, while his golf world persona has only grown in stature. Feherty is now a grand ambassador for golf, a man who is feted by US Presidents and respected by every big name in the game. Feinstein tells hilarious true tales about Feherty&’s time in the limelight and interactions with stars such as Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Payne Stewart, and Seve Ballesteros. He also details Feherty&’s struggles with alcoholism, the death of his son who was lost to addiction, and the highs and lows of Feherty&’s marriages. Feinstein captures the human being behind the athlete, and his triumphant rebound as a golf commentator after his athletic career fell apart. Feherty is fall-down-funny, self-deprecating, and a lifelong underdog who has thrived as a commentator and television interview host, and most recently as a touring standup comic, using the difficult experiences of his life as a source for humor and understanding, which Feinstein mines with an expert&’s touch.

Felicidad: La única riqueza verdadera
by OshoLA FELICIDAD NO ES UN LOGRO. ES TU NATURALEZA. Una mirada innovadora sobre el anhelo humano de la búsqueda de la felicidad. Felicidad es el duodécimo título de la serie Claves para una nueva forma de vivir, un éxito de ventas mundial de Osho, como los anteriores. En este título, Osho observa la felicidad, y lo que entendemos por felicidad, desde todos los ángulos posibles, y desmonta el espejismo del mundo actual, donde buena parte de la humanidad tiene cubiertas las necesidades materiales básicas pero no es feliz. Cuando nos apegamos a la felicidad, negamos la dualidad de la experiencia humana. Confundimos el placer con la felicidad, lo que nos aleja de la posibilidad de vivir la auténtica experiencia que nos proporcionaría una vida plena. La búsqueda de la felicidad es intrínseca al ser humano, y en ese camino las drogas no han sido ni son una solución. La felicidad, nos explica Osho, es el resultado de vivir la vida en su totalidad, sin necesidad de estar constantemente escogiendo y rechazando. La gran paradoja es que la felicidad no puede buscarse. La auténtica búsqueda es la de la verdad, y es entonces cuando hallamos la felicidad. Este libro incluye una interesante selección de preguntas y respuestas sobre la naturaleza de la felicidad y los dilemas que plantea, e ilustra de forma práctica las cuestiones abordadas proponiéndonos una nueva manera de vivir la vida.

Conselhos, explicações sensatas e citações inesquecíveis.--O que é Felicidade? “Todo mundo almeja uma vida feliz, mas ninguém sabe o que é isso”SenecaAo ler o título desta introdução, muitos vão pensar: "que pergunta sem sentido."

Felicità dalla A alla Z
by Ana Claudia Antunes Vincenzo CammarataUna ricca guida facile da seguire con esercizi pratici basati sui principi dell'apprendimento sotto forma di alfabeto. Questo libro, come un ABC della felicità, rivela passo a passo gli insegnamenti e gli esercizi di autocoscienza per aumentare le tue possibilità nella vita. Con una chiarezza eccezionale che va al di là del velo eliminando i dubbi che separano te che lotti nella routine giornaliera dalla tua vera natura che si basa sul vivere in allegria e godendo della vita. In maniera colloquiale e amichevole, l'autrice espone il suo proprio modo di lasciare alle spalle le ansie e le paure, arrivando alle potenzialità della vera esistenza umana, arricchendo al massimo la propria vita e quella degli altri che ci circondano, facendo in modo che non siamo un mero specchio dei desideri designando un percorso che porta e eleva le persone verso la vera felicità e il successo al di là dell'immaginazione più fervida. Dopo la crisi economica che ci ha colpiti negli ultimi anni, le regole del mercato del lavoro sono cambiate drasticamente in tutto il mondo, e di ciò che funzionava fino ad ora sono rimaste solo le ceneri di quanto era presumibilmente una volta. In questo momento esatto, milioni di persone sono in attesa di scoprire quella grande opportunità, quel gran momento in cui potrebbero guardarsi allo specchio e dire: "Ho vinto!" E questo non è niente di pretenzioso, né tanto meno impossibile, un sogno irraggiungibile che si ascolta solo nelle favole. Le storie sono là fuori per dimostrare il contrario. È ovvio che siano poche. Perché la gente non riconosce ancora il potenziale che potrebbe essere, e tutte le soddisfazioni che potrebbe ottenere solamente se si concedesse di essere un pesce grande in un lago piccolo. Le persone pensano in grande, ma non hanno l'energia, né prendono le misure necessarie per raggiungere il proprio obiettivo. Non si stanno preparando. E stanno ancora pensando perché, per amor di Dio, non riescano a ottenere

by Betty Mackune-Karrer Mary E Olson. . . from the minds of therapists on the cutting edge!This informative, innovative collection brings together the work of a group of “scholar-therapists,” all women, who have met regularly for ten years to discuss family therapy, gender, and postmodern ideas. The major themes--feminism, community, and communication--are taken in new directions.

The issues of gender, culture, religion, race, and class figure prominently in this book.In Feminism, Community, and Communication you'll find descriptions of: communal perspectives for therapists that stress listening and understanding over interpreting and knowing the power of love and spirituality in relation to organizational consultation to an agency beset by racial division research on anorexia and what it means a mentoring project for rural girls the Bar/Bat Mitzva as therapy an ethnographic study of Lebanese womenFeminism, Community, and Communication takes an exciting, fresh look at these three intertwined concepts, representing a way of thinking and doing therapy, research, community work, and training that highlights the ethical dimension of each.

Feminist Accused of Sexual Harassment
by Jane GallopSexual harassment is an issue in which feminists are usually thought to be on the plaintiff's side. But in 1993--amid considerable attention from the national academic community--Jane Gallop, a prominent feminist professor of literature, was accused of sexual harassment by two of her women graduate students. In Feminist Accused of Sexual Harassment, Gallop tells the story of how and why she was charged with sexual harassment and what resulted from the accusations. Weaving together memoir and theoretical reflections, Gallop uses her dramatic personal experience to offer a vivid analysis of current trends in sexual harassment policy and to pose difficult questions regarding teaching and sex, feminism and knowledge.Comparing "still new" feminism--as she first encountered it in the early 1970s--with the more established academic discipline that women's studies has become, Gallop makes a case for the intertwining of learning and pleasure. Refusing to acquiesce to an imperative of silence that surrounds such issues, Gallop acknowledges--and describes--her experiences with the eroticism of learning and teaching. She argues that antiharassment activism has turned away from the feminism that created it and suggests that accusations of harassment are taking aim at the inherent sexuality of professional and pedagogic activity rather than indicting discrimination based on gender--that antiharassment has been transformed into a sensationalist campaign against sexuality itself.Feminist Accused of Sexual Harassment offers a direct and challenging perspective on the complex and charged issues surrounding the intersection of politics, sexuality, feminism, and power. Gallop's story and her characteristically bold way of telling it will be compelling reading for anyone interested in these issues and particularly to anyone interested in the ways they pertain to the university.

Feng Shui Made Easy, Revised Edition: Designing Your Life with the Ancient Art of Placement
by William SpearThe first edition, released in 1995, was lauded by seasoned practitioners and beginners alike. And no wonder. While most of the early English-language books on feng shui were dauntingly mystical or relied on complex calculations or culturally specific design practices, Feng Shui Made Easy took a more holistic approach, clearly explaining the fundamentals while guiding readers on an inner journey of understanding.Thoughtfully written and beautifully illustrated, the book is structured around an "architecture of consciousness" that is really the inner landscape. The book explores each "house" of the bagua--the chart representing one's journey through life; relationships with parents, loved ones, and community; creativity; spirituality; and connectedness to the source of life--and the symbolism of the corresponding I Ching trigram. Feng Shui Made Easy helps readers discover the nature of these connections, as well as learn what obstructions must be removed to change fixed patterns of behavior and restore balance, harmony, and inner peace--a process that, when combined with external adjustments, results in increased success and lasting change in all areas of life.This revised edition expands on the author's intuitive approach with new sections on health, children's environments, and ecological concerns and sustainable practices. The author also corrects misconceptions about feng shui and uses fascinating case studies to share valuable insights he gained from interactions with his clients and readers.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Feng Shui Mommy: Creating Balance and Harmony for Blissful Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood
by Bailey GaddisImpending motherhood serves up a confusing cocktail of heroic strength and terrifying vulnerability. Our culture has seized on the “vulnerability” part of this experience and tends to reinforce a pregnant woman’s insecurities instead of encouraging her to embrace this most natural time and trust her body, her intuition, and her own mind. Feng Shui Mommy takes a different approach, helping the expecting mother build her own unique, epic journey to motherhood. It’s about supporting her while she shores up her mind-body-spirit alignment so she can best handle the cosmic kick in the uterus and juicy kiss on the soul that pregnancy is. Bailey Gaddis guides women through the experience, providing specific suggestions for mind, body, and spirit for each trimester (including the “fourth,” after birth), leading to birth preparation designed for each mother and baby, and culminating in strong mother-child bonding. She includes detailed and practical information about prenatal exercise and nutrition, birth preferences and birthing positions, breath work, breastfeeding, and much more. Her advice allows mothers to welcome delight and curiosity into the journey while taking each phase with purpose and calm — and even a sense of fun. This comprehensive guide makes challenge and change joyful, allowing new life to be as incomparably wonder-filled as it is meant to be.
