Psychology Philosophy

כולנו נחשפים למוזיקה כמעט מדי יום, מרצון או שלא מרצון. אנשים מקדישים את זמנם להפקת מוזיקה, לביצועה ולצריכתה. יש ימי מוזיקה לאומיים, שבהם חוגגות מדינות את המורשת, הכישרונות והשאיפות המוזיקליות שלהן. אז השאלה היא לא אם אנחנו עוסקים במוזיקה כי בעצם אנחנו זוללים אותה. סודות הפסיכולוגיה של המוזיקה עשויים לעזור לנו לפתור את השאלה מדוע יש למוזיקה השפעה כה חזקה עלינו.

This book guides PreK-12 educators and school-based clinicians on how to embed socially just practices into their day-to-day roles to achieve more equitable outcomes. Social Justice in Schools uses vivid vignettes and personal reflections to demystify complex concepts. It pinpoints ways educators can better understand their racially and ethnically minoritized students, reflect on and challenge implicit bias in assessment and decision making, and build meaningful home–school relationships.

El deporte no es solamente una actividad física, sino una actividad integral, holística, que altera, desarrolla y activa las distintas dimensiones del ser humano, las visibles y las invisibles, las materiales y las inmateriales, lo más nuclear y esencial que hay en él, pero también lo más exterior. Partiendo de esa premisa, esta obra muestra la práctica deportiva como un camino de extraordinaria utilidad para activar la inteligencia espiritual, trascendente o existencial, latente en todo ser humano.

La lettura è un’esperienza incredibile e un’opportunità fondamentale da cogliere, ma perché ciò avvenga occorre superare le difficoltà di accesso e riconoscere le possibilità offerte dalle storie. Essere esposti alla lettura ad alta voce allena la comprensione, le abilità necessarie per poter leggere anche da soli e permette di trarre profitto dal percorso scolastico. Un’esposizione prolungata e improntata alla bibliovarietà favorisce un rapporto positivo con i libri.

In a page-turning narrative that reads like a thriller, an award-winning journalist exposes the troubling truth behind the world’s first act of nuclear terrorism. On November 1, 2006, Alexander Litvinenko sipped tea in London’s Millennium Hotel. Hours later the Russian émigré and former...

Whether this is the first or last business audiobook you listen to, you will gain new insights and experience a few epiphanies by the time you finish. I have made the contents of this work to shock you more than the title does, introducing you to an entirely new paradigm.

Estas son las técnicas de Hector Herrera que logró sobreponerse ante las adversidades de la vida, sobreviviente de tres intentos de suicidio y haber sanado de una parálisis de su cuerpo que duró casi cinco años de su vida, encontró en lo más profundo del dolor dos caminos: Morir por sus propias manos y terminar con el dolor y sufrimiento que lo tenían muerto en vida; o enfrentar sus miedos sanar su pasado y transformarse en uno de los conferencistas de mayor impacto en la vida de quien lo escucha.

This important book offers a practical guide to understanding how Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) can be used in the classroom. Gardner identified eight different types of intelligence: linguistic, logical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, naturalist, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Celebrating Every Learner describes the characteristics of each type of intelligence and follows up with ready-to-use lesson plans and activities that teachers can use to incorporate MI in their pre-K through six classrooms.

Este libro del psicólogo Guillermo Ballenato nos enseña cómo educar sin gritar. Más que ofrecer recetas o soluciones mágicas, nos aporta algunas claves que ayudan a pensar a todos aquellos padres que admiten tener incertidumbres en lo que a la educación se refiere; que tienen suficientes ganas de mejorar como para cuestionarse y revisar su relación con los hijos; que aceptan haberse equivocado algunas veces en la forma de gestionar los conflictos.

A new field of collective intelligence has emerged in the last few years, prompted by a wave of digital technologies that make it possible for organizations and societies to think at large scale. This "bigger mind" - human and machine capabilities working together - has the potential to solve the great challenges of our time. So why do smart technologies not automatically lead to smart results?

Movies like American Sniper and The Hurt Locker hint at the inner scars our soldiers incur during service in a war zone. The moral dimensions of their psychological injuries - guilt, shame, feeling responsible for doing wrong or being wronged - elude conventional treatment. Georgetown philosophy professor Nancy Sherman turns her focus to these moral injuries in Afterwar.

Frustrated by her students' performance, her relationships with them, and her own daughter's problems in school, Susan D. Blum, a professor of anthropology, set out to understand why her students found their educational experiences at a top-tier institution so profoundly difficult and unsatisfying.

When Özlem Cekic became the first Muslim MP in the Danish Parliament, her email inbox was inundated with hate mail and threats, and her gut reaction was to delete and ignore each abusive message. But eventually, she decided to take a risk. She started replying to each message and inviting the senders to meet and engage in dialogue over coffee. And with time, understanding, and patience, she began to make a difference, both in the lives of those who hated her before even meeting her, and in her own life.

You need to hear the bad news first: the results of STEM outreach to girls haven’t improved in twenty years. The good news? This book will tell you why, and how to fix it. Currently, dated narratives push girls away in fear, and blind spots result in missed opportunities to pull them in. While efforts to increase diversity in science and mathematics have succeeded, outreach has largely ignored engineering—where there is still only one woman for every five men. This is especially troubling because engineering offers vastly more jobs than other STEM fields.

The central motif running through this thought-provoking book is Jung's most misunderstood concept, synchronicity. By deftly meshing his interpretation of synchronicity with key concepts in quantum physics and Middle Way Buddhism, Victor Mansfield brings fresh insight to our understanding of synchronicity.

On April 16, 2007, the campus of Virginia Tech experienced a collective nightmare when thirty-three students were killed in the worst massacre in modern U.S. history. Following that horrendous event, Virginia Tech campus pastor Matt Rogers found himself asking and being asked, “Where is God in...

El francés Gustave Le Bon (1841-1931) es considerado uno de los fundadores de la psicología social. Introdujo un tema importante como la psicología del comportamiento colectivo. Le Bon desarrolló sus ideas y puntos de vista durante numerosos viajes a diferentes pueblos de África y Asia. En su obra principal "Psicología de las masas" de 1895, describe el cambio en el comportamiento del individuo que resulta de pertenecer a un grupo más grande de personas, una masa. Este audiolibro está basado en la traducción al español de 1921 de J. M. Navarro de Palencia.

Teaching, leading and learning are at the heart of every school and classroom. Our ability to grow and adapt to the ever-changing landscapes of education is what keeps our profession and ourselves moving forward. In Buddy, Bully & Beacon, we see how different personalities are drawn to various styles of teaching and leading. We examine archetypes and examples from pop culture to better understand how we can and must evolve.

Philosophy of Therapy is a critical inquiry into the reasons and beliefs for therapists of all modalities to do what they do, as they do it. This work was conceived as an invitation for therapists and philosophers to dialogue about the nature of therapy and the justifications used not only in the practice of therapy but also in the formation of new therapists.

Wenn der Zweijährige trotzt oder die Fünfjährige wütend um sich schlägt, reagieren Eltern aus Hilflosigkeit oft mit Schimpfen und Strafen. Doch so lernen Kinder nicht, auf gesunde Weise mit ihren Gefühlen umzugehen.

Die Lösung: Liebe und Sisu, das finnische Wort für Kraft und Beharrlichkeit.
