New Releases by Rick Hanson

With New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Hanson''s four steps, you can counterbalance your brain''s negativity bias and learn to hardwire happiness in only a few minutes each day. Why is it easier to ruminate over hurt feelings than it is to bask in the warmth of being appreciated? Because your brain evolved to learn quickly from bad experiences and slowly from good ones, but you can change this. Life isn’t easy, and having a brain wired to take in the bad and ignore the good makes us worried, irritated, and stressed, instead of confident, secure, and happy. But each day is filled with opportunities to build inner strengths and Dr. Rick Hanson, an acclaimed clinical psychologist, shows what you can do to override the brain’s default pessimism. Hardwiring Happiness lays out a simple method that uses the hidden power of everyday experiences to build new neural structures full of happiness, love, confidence, and peace. You’ll learn to see through the lies your brain tells you. Dr. Hanson’s four steps build strengths into your brain to make contentment and a powerful sense of resilience the new normal. In just minutes a day, you can transform your brain into a refuge and power center of calm and happiness.

Seguramente has oído alguna vez la frase: «Las cosas pequeñas son las más importantes». Diversas investigaciones han mostrado que ciertas prácticas muy sencillas realizadas cada día pueden cambiar la forma en que funciona nuestro cerebro. Este libro nos o

Ce livre est un recueil d''exercices très simples à faire régulièrement, le plus souvent dans votre tête, qui permettent de renforcer l''estime de soi, la résilience, l''efficacité, le bien-être, la lucidité et la paix intérieure. A première vue, vous pourriez être tenté de sous-estimer leur puissance. Mais ces petits riens changeront peu à peu votre cerveau grâce à ce qu''on appelle la neuroplasticité, c''est-à-dire la capacité du cerveau à se modifier au fil des expériences. Il s''agit de s''imprégner de ce qui est bon, de protéger son cerveau, de se sentir plus en sécurité, d''être moins angoissé par ses imperfections, de trouver refuge ou de réparer les blessures du coeur. Rick Hanson

De neurowetenschap van mindfulness. Met oefeningen en tips voor meer rust en vreugde Hoe krijgen we meer zelfvertrouwen en een rijker leven? Dat leert ons de Amerikaanse neuropsycholoog en meditatieleraar Rick Hanson aan de hand van eenvoudige meditatieoefeningen en praktische tips, ontleend aan de oude boeddhistische traditie. Hij leert hoe we bepaalde delen van de hersenen kunnen stimuleren die rust, levensvreugde en compassie brengen in plaats van gepieker, verdriet en woede. Hanson toetste zijn oefeningen en tips aan de laatste inzichten uit de hersenwetenschappen.

If you change your brain, you can change your life. Great teachers like the Buddha, Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, and Gandhi were all born with brains built essentially like anyone else’s—and then they changed their brains in ways that changed the world. Science is now revealing how the flow of thoughts actually sculpts the brain, and more and more, we are learning that it''s possible to strengthen positive brain states. By combining breakthroughs in neuroscience with insights from thousands of years of mindfulness practice, you too can use your mind to shape your brain for greater happiness, love, and wisdom. Buddha''s Brain draws on the latest research to show how to stimulate your brain for more fulfilling relationships, a deeper spiritual life, and a greater sense of inner confidence and worth. Using guided meditations and mindfulness exercises, you''ll learn how to activate the brain states of calm, joy, and compassion instead of worry, sorrow, and anger. Most importantly, you will foster positive psychological growth that will literally change the way you live in your day-to-day life. This book presents an unprecedented intersection of psychology, neurology, and contemplative practice, and is filled with practical tools and skills that you can use every day to tap the unused potential of your brain and rewire it over time for greater well-being and peace of mind.

"If you ever wanted a second chance, if you ever wanted to do it all over and do it right, then listen to Joe Kita. He did it for all of us." (Regis Philbin) We all have our regrets, but rarely do we give ourselves a chance to try to do anything about them. After turning forty, Joe Kita set out to relive his top-twenty personal regrets. In Another Shothe recounts his adventures-from the hilarious to the poignant. Dismayed that he may have missed his sexual peak, he convinces his wife to enroll with him in sex camp. Bemoaning the selling of his first love, a powerhouse Camaro, he hires a private detective to find it. Still smarting from the sting of getting cut from his high school basketball team, he convinces his alma mater''s coach to let him try out for the squad again-more than twenty years later. Above all, though, it''s Kita''s relationships with his family that haunt him. His interaction with his mother has always been strained, and he attempts to understand her by taking her out for a special night. Kita even tries to get in touch with his late father through a medium because he never got to say goodbye. At once witty and profound, Another Shotoffers a glimpse into the hopes and worries of a regular guy and speaks to everyone about not letting regrets keep us from enjoying the rest of our lives.

Intrepid detective-by-default Adam McCleet finds himself immersed in a bizarre case of multiple murder on an Indian reservation overtaken by a real estate developer and huckster who has formed a new independent nation called Bob.

Private eye Adam McCleet, ex-policeman, ex-Marine and would-be sculptor, is promised $15 million if he solves a murder that has not yet been committed. The man who hires him is the salmon king of Oregon, who expects murder to strike his heirs when he dies. It does, too.

When ex-marine, ex-cop, and hopefully-soon-to-be-famous sculptor Adam McCleet travels to Taos, New Mexico, he finds a body in the backyard of the house he''s borrowing from his sister, Margot. Soon, he becomes the main suspect in a murder investigation, and his only hope lies in solving the crime himself before he gets locked up in jail forever.

Adam McCleet, ex-marine, ex-cop and semi-successful sculptor takes off in pursuit of his sister Margot''s henpecked husband and a deranged killer--the Yuppie Ripper--who''s been relieving upwardly mobile professionals of vital organs and has the whole Pacific Northwest trembling.

A patient undergoing a therapy session in a psychiatric ward in Portland attacks his doctor and kills him. Police attribute the killing to the patient''s mental state, but sculptor and sleuth Adam McCleet thinks someone had drugged the man to kill the doctor. By the author of Spare Parts.
