The ability to heal is not reserved for a gifted few. Anyone aching to ease the suffering of a sick friend or loved one can learn to become unconditionally present to the sick person rather than to the disease. Through stories filled with compassion, wisdom, and gentle humor, Dr. Jeff Kane shows readers how to use mindful attention, therapeutic listening, and truthful speech to help others heal.

Many doctors overlook the seemingly inexplicable tragedies and recoveries that happen in hospitals every day, opting to view them simply as aberrations from the medical norm. In this book, Dr. Marc Siegel draws from his decades of experience treating patients and explores the sometimes miraculous effects that the spirit and emotion can have on disease and healing. The inner pulse is the essence that links the soul to the mind and body, the marker that predicts whether a person's life force is fading.

Drawing on the author’s seven years of caring for his mother through Alzheimer's, Be With: Letters to a Caregiver is what its title promises: four dispatches to an anonymous long-term caregiver. In brief passages that cast fresh light on what it means to live with dementia, Barnes shares trials, insights, solace - and, ultimately, inspiration.

Jean Carnahan was the first lady of Missouri when her husband, Governor Mel Carnahan, who was running for the U.S. Senate, and their son, were killed in a plane crash. When Mel Carnahan was elected posthumously (beating John Ashcroft), Jean agreed to take his seat in Washington and served in the U.S. Senate during 9/11, the anthrax attacks, and the vote to go to war in Iraq. During a time of intense and almost unimaginable personal loss, she managed to keep her head up and her heart open.

Em Felicidade inegociável e outras rimas, Thalita Rebouças fala para mulheres que, assim como ela, se encontram em uma fase mais madura da vida e encaram desafios diferentes e desconhecidos. Em mais de 60 textos, que intercalam prosa e poesia–ou rimas, como a autora gosta de chamar–Thalita aborda temas como menopausa, separação, a decisão de não ter filhos e a paz com o corpo e pessoa que se tornou.

Terra sconosciuta in cui ci inoltriamo lentamente, paese aspro da attraversare e da conquistare, la vecchiaia ha le sue grandi ombre, le sue insidie e le sue fragilità, ma non va separata dalla vita: fa parte del cammino dell'esistenza e ha le sue chances. È il tempo di piantare alberi per chi verrà. Vecchiaia è arte del vivere, che possiamo in larga parte costruire, a partire dalla nostra consapevolezza, dalle nostre scelte, dalla qualità della convivenza che coltiviamo insieme agli altri, mai senza gli altri, giorno dopo giorno.

Our health care system is crippled by desperate efforts to prevent the inevitable. A third of the national Medicare budget - nearly $175 billion - is spent on the final year of life, and a third of that amount on the final month, often on expensive (and futile) treatments. Such efforts betray a fundamental flaw in how we think about healthcare: we squander resources on hopeless situations, instead of using them to actually improve health.

Eine faszinierende Vorstellung: Wie wäre es, wenn sich die biologische Uhr, die in jedem von uns tickt, anhalten ließe – oder sogar ein Stück zurückdrehen? Und das nicht bloß gefühlt, sondern messbar? Dieses Versprechen ist seit Kurzem Realität. Der junge Forschungszweig der Epigenetik hat den Deckel von der Altersuhr gehoben – und in aktuellen Studien nun sogar den Sprung in die praktische Anwendung geschafft. Genau darum geht es in diesem Hörbuch: Was kann ich ganz konkret tun, um meine Altersuhr zurückzudrehen? Um wie viele Monate oder gar Jahre lässt sich der Zeiger zurückstellen?

Fin dal concepimento, e per buona parte della vita, il nostro cervello conosce processi che ne garantiscono lo sviluppo e l'aumento delle capacità attraverso l'apprendimento. Ma in ognuna di queste fasi può essere oggetto di aggressioni che possono comprometterne le funzioni: stili di vita scorretti, fumo, uso di droghe o abuso di alcol, alimentazione sbagliata.

Cosa accade negli allevamenti e nei macelli del nostro Paese? È veramente sicuro ciò che mangiamo? In un'inchiesta sull'industria italiana della carne e dei formaggi dell'eccellenza "Made in Italy", Giulia Innocenzi affianca animalisti, veterinari e allevatori per svelare un mondo oscuro in cui gli animali sopravvivono a malapena in spazi microscopici, sporchi, senz'aria; costretti a vere e proprie torture, malati e imbottiti di antibiotici che finiscono sulle nostre tavole.

Fast jeder erlebt Belastungen und Enttäuschungen gegenüber den Eltern. Werden die negativen Einflüsse zu stark, wird die Persönlichkeitsentfaltung gehemmt. Wir können das verletzte innere Kind, das Schattenkind, heilen. Mit einer innere Stimme, die sich liebevoll und unterstützend dem jüngeren Selbst zuwendet - mit der heilenden Kraft der elterlichen Liebe. Kümmern wir uns wie eine fürsorgliche Mutter und ein einfühlsamer Vater um uns selbst, finden wir die Unterstützung, die wir als Kind vermisst haben: Zuwendung (Nestwärme) und Ermutigung (Flügel).

Questo saggio vuole fornire alcune indicazioni su come affrontare i problemi della vecchiaia con serenità e sicurezza. L'autrice non parte da considerazioni etiche, sociologiche o psicologiche, bensì scientifiche, con le quali dimostra che il cervello umano invecchiando perde alcune prerogative, ma le sostituisce con altre che in parte compensano e superano quelle perdute. L'autrice accompagna la sua dimostrazione con una serie di esempi di personalità attive fino alla vecchiaia, come Michelangelo, Galileo Galilei, Bertrand Russell e Pablo Picasso.

Everyone wants to stay healthy and live forever, and everyone wants to find a way to do that. But there is no magic pill which can be popped to achieve this. That said, there are some ways and techniques which can not only make one stay healthy and fit but also increase one's life span. While, and this is mostly accurate, the factors which are behind one's long life are mostly biological and out of our control, there are certain factors which are under our control and which can be regulated to help us achieve a long and fruitful life.
