Many of us speak to ourselves in demeaning and hurtful ways, using language we would never use with anyone else. To make matters worse, we often don't even realize when we are doing this, as these old mental tapes play in repeating loops without our awareness.

This is a guidebook to confidence, why we lack it and how we can acquire more of it in our lives.

Oft werden wir im Alltagsstress von unseren Gefühlen übermannt und wissen nicht, wie wir mit unseren Ängsten umgehen oder unsere innere Stärke wiederfinden können. Hier kann die stoische Philosophie eine große Hilfe sein. Schon in der Antike war sie eine der erfolgreichsten lebensphilosophischen Schulen.

The core concept of this illuminating book is that the core of human existence is self-consciousness. What we are depends on what choices we make and what we do. Dominant personality traits primarily drive our life decisions. In the fields of psychology, philosophy, biology, and artificial intelligence, self-awareness is studied. From a philosophical point of view, self-awareness reflects the apparent belief that a person is distinct from others as an entity and has his or her thoughts. It can also describe the awareness of one's own identity's very heart.

Die Philosophie eines aufgeräumten Lebens In diesem Hörbuch zeigt Zen-Mönch Shunmyo Masuno, wie wir aus den alltäglichen Pflichten ein sinnvolles, freudiges Tun machen. Selbst beim ungeliebten Putzen und Aufräumen können wir ganz bei uns selbst sein und unser Herz klären. Seine Grundidee ist: Jeder Mensch wird mit einem reinen Herzen geboren, einem "Herzen ohne Wolken". Im Laufe des Lebens wird es jedoch verunreinigt und umwölkt. Putzen und Aufräumen sind sozusagen symbolische Handlungen im Zen, um dabei auch unseren Geist wieder zu reinigen und unser Inneres aufzuräumen.
