Showing results for "Chance" in Psychology & Mental Health

Peter Fraenkel presents a practical, creative, integrative approach that combines action- and insight-oriented techniques to help last-chance couples manage conflict, modulate intense negative emotions, address power struggles, develop mutual compassion, and restore emotional intimacy and pleasurable connection. Special attention is paid to developing a collaborative therapeutic alliance when partners have little motivation for therapy or faith that it can be effective. Through engaging in "nonbinding experiments in possibility," partners can then better evaluate whether to "stay or go."

Innumerable stories, from the Homeric epics to the New Testament, and from Oedipus Rex to Hamlet, explore the realization or failure of second chances—outcomes that depend on accident, acts of will, or fate. Such stories let us repeatedly rehearse the experience of loss and recovery: to know the joy that comes with a renewal of love and pleasure and to face the pain that comes with realizing that some damage can never be undone. Through a series of illuminating readings, the authors show how Shakespeare was the supreme virtuoso of the second chance and Freud was its supreme interpreter.

Pensez-vous que le bonheur se cueille surtout dans l'instant présent, comme semble le souligner la psychologie positive ? Que la pleine conscience en constitue un accès privilégié ? Mais que faire si nous n'avons pas su savourer les bons moments de notre vie, trop vite enfuis ? Yves-Alexandre Thalmann montre qu'il est possible de les apprécier après coup. C'est ce que révèlent de récents travaux réalisés dans le cadre des sciences cognitives.

"Die Stärke zu wissen, wann es Zeit ist aufzuhören". In der heutigen leistungsorientierten Gesellschaft ist das Aufgeben ein Schandfleck im Lebenslauf. Wie oft haben wir schon etwas abgeschlossen, was uns weder glücklich gemacht hat, noch einen Vorteil gebracht hat, einfach nur, weil wir es nicht abbrechen konnten, oder wollten? Annie Duke beschreibt in "Quit", wann der Mut, der eine Tugend ist und uns voran treibt, sich in einen Laster verwandeln kann. Über Jahrzehnte hinweg gibt es die Mentalität: "Quitters never win, and winners never quit".

It’s comforting to think that we can be successful because we work hard, climb ladders, and get what we deserve, but each of us has been profoundly touched by randomness. Chance is shown to play a crucial role in shaping outcomes across history, throughout the natural world, and in our everyday lives. In The Random Factor, Mark Robert Rank draws from a wealth of evidence, including interviews and research, to explain how luck and chance play out and reveals how we can use these lessons to guide our personal lives and public policies.

She tells the stories of lucky and unlucky people as well as the accidental discoveries that fundamentally changed what we know about the brain.

Freakonomics showed how economic calculations can explain seemingly counterintuitive decision-making. Thinking, Fast and Slow helped listeners identify a host of small cognitive errors that can lead to miscalculations and irrational thought. In What the Luck?, statistician and author Gary Smith sets himself a similar goal, and explains - in clear, understandable, and witty prose - how a statistical understanding of luck can change the way we see just about every aspect of our lives.
