Fight Your Way to a Better Marriage: How Conflict Can Take You to Deeper Levels of Intimacy
by Greg SmalleyIn this counterintuitive book, author Dr. Greg Smalley maintains that fighting is actually good for a marriage. When couples fight, they have the opportunity to get to the real issue lurking below the surface about money, sex, in-laws, kids, etc. And that real issue, Dr. Smalley says, is fear--fear of rejection, inadequacy, or powerlessness, to name a few. What assuages these fears are things like intimacy, respect, validation, love, and connection. Learning to take advantage of the opportunity that conflict provides is what this book is all about. The good news of Fight Your Way to a Better Marriage is that conflict--when handled correctly--is the doorway to intimacy and under-standing. As Dr. Smalley leads readers through the many faces of conflict, he is open and candid about his own marriage and the unproductive fights he and his wife have had. He uses his fears and emotional triggers as examples to help read-ers discover their own. Couples will learn how to fight their way to a better marriage, using the skills, concepts, and exercises shared in this remarkable book. *** Typical marriage fights = money, sex, in-laws, and kids. But what if fights could = trust, respect, intimacy, and understanding? WHAT IF CONFLICT IN MARRIAGE COULD BE A GOOD THING? The truth is that marriages and spouses can't grow without conflict. Some of the many values of conflict include: * An opportunity to break old, ineffective patterns * A way to guard against being too comfortable or too complacent, which breeds mediocrity and boredom * Insight into your own personal issues * A window for viewing each other's deepest feelings and needs * Reduction of tension as emotions are vented and stress is released * Greater trust and intimacy after pushing through difficult and heated conversations * Higher levels of marital satisfaction every time you manage the conflict well * The sole reason we have the amazing experience of makeup sex

by OshoUna revolución de la conciencia que vaya de lo personal a lo global y de lo mundano a lo trascendente. Vivimos en un mundo en crisis cuya realidad, a menudo, no sabemos cómo abordar. La tecnología, la ciencia y la explotación económica parecen ser las únicas máximas de hoy en día, en detrimento del crecimiento y la madurez de nuestra conciencia humana, y nuestra sociedad parece abocada al abuso de poder y a la destrucción de nuestro ecosistema. Sin embargo, en este libro, Osho nos recuerda que no es la primera vez que la humanidad encara tiempos azarosos, y nos insta a transitar por el filo de la navaja, a hacer un esfuerzo por revolucionar nuestra conciencia, obligarla a pasar de lo mundano a lo trascendente y tratar de alcanzar nuestro propio crecimiento y el de nuestro hermoso planeta.
La filosofía de ser niños
by Christopher PhillipsCómo liberar la creatividad, la curiosidad y la razón a través de la sabiduría de los más jóvenes. La niñez es nuestra plataforma de despegue, el periodo de la vida en el que el aprendizaje es más intenso, y adquirimos el conocimiento crítico y las habilidades que nos permitirán adaptarnos. Filósofos de todas las épocas han señalado que, con el paso del tiempo, los seres humanos tendemos a encogernos mental y emocionalmente. Desvirtuamos nuestra naturaleza -caracterizada por la curiosidad, la empatía, la razón, el asombro y el deseo de experimentar y entender- y, de esta manera, se va volviendo borroso nuestro sentido de identidad. Comenzamos nuestras vidas con un estallido moral, intelectual y creativo. Siguiendo las evidencias científicas que así lo demuestran, Christopher Phillips advierte que la niñez no es simplemente un estado de desarrollo, de transformación -de llegar a ser-, ni la adultez un momento de plenitud o acabamiento. Si aprovechamos las cualidades propias de la niñez, no estaremos condenados a volvernos seres desanimados y frágiles, sino que creceremos y viviremos guiados por el asombro, la curiosidad, la imaginación, el sentido de juego y la compasión. Explorando y explotando la filosofía de ser niños, podremos desarrollar ilimitadamente nuestro potencial. Vinculando filosofía, ciencias sociales, investigación neurocientífica y anécdotas personales, este libro propone una aproximación radicalmente distinta al tema de la frontera entre niñez y adultez, para mostrarnos que la forma como los niños ven y viven el mundo puede ser una clave para un desarrollo pleno, para alcanzar eso que los griegos llamaban areté o excelencia.
