At the age of twenty-seven, Gerad suffered a life-altering breakdown. When conventional treatments failed to help, he sought an alternative solution and immersed himself in the teachings of ancient Chinese philosophy and acupuncture. According to this system of medicine, we are all made up of the five elements of Nature (wood, fire, earth, metal, water). When they are in balance, we thrive; when they are not, chaos ensues. Sceptical at first, but desperate to feel well, Gerad took a leap of faith—one that was to open his eyes to a new way of being.

An urgent rethinking of the Western approach to mental health, which treats the symptoms rather than the exploitative systems causing our distress—by a Rhodes Scholar and Harvard Medical School physician-anthropologist—offering lessons from the rest of the world.

Ze belandde op de bank bij een psycholoog en psychiater en werd gediagnosticeerd met zowel ADHD als PTSS. Sindsdien valt het haar op hoe ontzettend veel mensen tegenwoordig 'gelabeld' worden. Maar wat betekenen al die labels eigenlijk? Nemen ze echt toe of lijkt dat alleen maar zo? Hoe en waarom diagnosticeren psychologen en psychiaters, en wat zijn de risico's? En bovenal: worden we er uiteindelijk gelukkiger van?

"Du bist so emotional", klingt nicht nach einem Kompliment, schon gar nicht in der Arbeitswelt. Im Job zeigt man keine Gefühle, stören sie doch das Arbeitsklima. Auf einen cholerischen Chef oder die weinende Kollegin verzichtet man gerne. Doch diese Sichtweise wird den Emotionen und ihrem positiven Einfluss nicht gerecht. Und überhaupt: Emotionen werden viel zu stark unterschätzt. Sie sind wichtig, will man Entscheidungen treffen oder kreativ zu sein. Auch um empathisch zu sein und wenn man sich mit seiner ganzen Persönlichkeit im Job einbringen will, geht das nicht ohne Gefühle.

What are the moments that make a life? In Francis Crick’s, the decisive moment came in 1951, when he first met James Watson. Their ensuing discovery of the structure of DNA made Crick world-famous. But neither that chance meeting nor that discovery made Crick who he was. As Matthew Cobb shows in Crick, it is another chance encounter, with a line from the writing of Beat poet Michael McClure, that reveals Crick’s character: “THIS IS THE POWERFUL KNOWLEDGE,” it shouted. Crick, having read it, would keep it with him for the rest of his life.

El logro real de Freud está, por lo tanto, menos en los detalles científicos que mucho más en la multitud de sus contribuciones con las que posibilitó e inspiró el pensamiento, el replanteamiento y la investigación de muchos de sus seguidores.

Un poema, una pieza musical, una película o un paseo se convierten de la mano de Ramón Andrés en motivo de reflexión y evocación. Su singular sensibilidad, su mirada sutil, paciente y penetrante se detiene en la vida cotidiana y nos propone una senda hacia el pensamiento en torno a temas como el valor de compartir el pan a la mesa, la relación entre humanidad y animalidad, las quimeras de ayer y de hoy, la calumnia, la exclusión, la muerte o la nada.

Only gradually was she able to accept her unusual gift, as she moved from school to school, from relationship to relationship. When Uschi decided that it was time to tell her story, she told it to Hans Holzer, knowing that he, a world-renowned expert on psychic phenomena, would tell it with insight and truth.
