Postmodernism has become the buzzword of contemporary society over the last decade. But how can it be defined? In this highly engaging introduction, the mysteries of this most elusive of concepts are unraveled, casting a critical light upon the way we live now, from the politicizing of museum culture to the cult of the politically correct. The key postmodernist ideas are explored and challenged, as they figure in the theory, philosophy, politics, ethics, and artwork of the period, and it is shown how they have interacted within a postmodernist culture.

Confianza en uno mismo es uno de los ensayos más emblemáticos de Emerson. Es una llamada a lo esencial de nosotros mismos como propuesta vital, que encarna y resume lo mejor de la filosofía de Emerson: su inconformismo, su vitalismo, su fe en el individuo y en la intuición como fuente de sabiduría. Con estos mimbres, Emerson propone algunos de sus conceptos fundamentales: el hombre debe obedecer la ley sagrada de su propia naturaleza para alcanzar su potencial; el hombre es infinito.

La parola sanscrita "chakra" significa "ruota di luce". Secondo la fisiologia orientale, i chakra sono centri energetici, cioè veri e propri organi energetici che governano sia le energie fisiche sia quelle più sottili. Tenere aperti o ripuliti questi centri energetici significa compiere una profonda azione di benessere olistico, perché significa agire sui tre elementi-chiave per il nostro equilibrio complessivo: corpo, emozioni, respiro. L'azione sui chakra ti permetterà perciò di armonizzare il tuo benessere fisico e mentale, con il tuo benessere spirituale,

Die psychoanalytische Theorie nimmt an, dass der Ablauf der seelischen Vorgänge automatisch durch das Lustprinzip reguliert wird, das heißt, dass wir in unserer ganzen Existenz durch Vermeidung von Unlust oder Erzeugung von Lust getrieben sind. Aber es gibt darüber hinaus noch stärkere, unbekanntere "Triebe". Und Sigmund Freud geht auf die Suche nach jenen fundamentalen und kreatürlichen Dingen in der Seele, die ihm in der Arbeit als Therapeut begegnet sind, Wie zum Beispiel der Wiederholungszwang. Mit Hilfe von Hypothesen und in einer professoralen Sprache schlägt er sich Bahn.

This book seeks to change this.

A much-used word, karma is loosely understood as a system of checks and balances in our lives, of good actions and bad deeds, of good thoughts and bad intentions. A system that seemingly ensures that at the end of the day one gets what one deserves. This grossly oversimplified understanding has created many complexities in our lives and taken away from us the very fundamentals of the joy of living.

The human race is unique! Despite our many differences; religion, beliefs, race, skin color, or personal prejudices, there is still one thing that holds our world together, which is "we are all human". However, we fail to see the beauty in the uniqueness of humankind, because we have been blinded by hate, bigotry, envy, and fear. We let hatred rule us, envy divide us, and fear keep us from fixing the mess. But it is time to wake up and see that everyone was created equal, perfect, and no different.
