by Katherine Wolf Jay WolfIs it possible to embrace suffering as a privilege, rather than a punishment?

You are the jar, and the sugar is your energy. If the jar has no lid, people can come in and take as much sugar as they want. Sometimes, they spill that sugar all over.

The Suicide Solution: Finding Your Way Out of the Darkness
by Daniel Emina Rick LawrenceThis is a book for people who are struggling to find their way out of a cave of anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts—and for anyone who cares for someone who&’s been lost in that cave. Suicide is now the leading cause of death among young adults 18-34, and the fourth-leading cause of death among the middle-aged. Just as a computer&’s hardware determines its foundational capabilities and its software determines how it interfaces with the world, humans&’ hardware is tied to our biology and our software dictates how we relate to others and ourselves. Together, these parts of our identity determine our functionality, limitations, and possibilities. We become the story we have decided to live inside. When Jesus said, &“I have come to set captives free,&” He meant that He came to &“de-bug&” our programming. Jesus invites us to partner with Him to bring to the surface and then move past our debilitating bugs. This book is a conversation between a minister and a psychiatrist. Informed by the clinical realities of anxiety, depression, and suicide, the authors draw from the transformational relational strategies of Jesus to chart a path into life and freedom.

Sukkelvallen: hoe u van lastige gewoonten af geraakt.
by Siegbert ScheuermannBoekbeschrijving. Dit boek houdt u een humoristische spiegel voor, waarmee u beter uw gewoonten en aangeboren gedragspatronen kan herkennen. Welke daarvan verminderen uw levenskwaliteit en hoe kan u hier van af geraken ? U wil bvb. regelmatig sporten, gewicht afvallen of ophouden met roken, maar uw brein verzint telkens weer redenen om ’s morgens toch wat langer te blijven liggen, dat kleine stukje chocolade als een uitzondering te beschouwen of uw carrière als niet-roker voor u uit te schuiven ? Ten laatste vanaf veertig zijn wij niet alleen voor ons gewicht, maar ook voor ons uiterlijk en onze houding verantwoordelijk. Gewoonten nestelen zich in ons denken, onze relaties, gezichtsuitdrukkingen en lichaamsvormen. De eerste stappen om zich te bevrijden : 1ste stap : een bestand opmaken in de zoo van onze “gewoontediertjes”. 2de stap : gewoonten en gedragspatronen analyseren. 3de stap : hoe vervangt u vervelende gewoonten in positieve ? Vaststellingen : Ons brein is dikwijls een uitstekende rechtvaardigingsmachine, zodat alles zijn vertrouwde “gang” kan gaan. We moeten niet proberen onze innerlijke demonen te verslaan maar hen eerder uitnodigen ten dans en met hen rondjes draaien. Bevrijd u van uw valstrikken, van naïviteit, incompetentie, onwetendheid, inconsequentie en schadelijke identificaties. Verheug u op uren leesplezier, zij zullen u ten goede komen ! De inhoud is ontstaan op basis van persoonlijke ervaringen en het houden van gedrags- en communicatietraining gedurende 25 jaar met duizenden deelnemers. Aan de basis liggen de artikelen van de auteur verschenen in de blog : www.hirnschrittmacher.eu
