Raising Anxiety
What if our good intentions are contributing to the rise in children's anxiety? Parents, teachers and schools invest more care and effort than ever before to ensure children reach their potential. Yet today young people seem more anxious and less capable of navigating the milestones of childhood and young adult life. Is the kind of care and support we provide inadvertently increasing children's anxiety? Could the special accommodations we give to some children make their anxiety worse? Clinical psychologists Dr Danielle Einstein and Dr Judith Locke have combined forces to show why we are in this situation. They discuss how a perfect storm of today's popular approaches to caring for children,...
The Power of Guilt
When was the last time you felt guilty? Chances are, you don't even want to think about it – most of us would rather not. Guilt is messy, uncomfortable and one of the most powerful emotions we experience as humans. As soon as we feel it, we want it gone. But, despite the discomfort, guilt contains an important purpose. It provides us with an opportunity to grow, make amends and strengthen our relationships. It holds us accountable and can influence huge social change. When we can acknowledge guilt in its truest form, we become emotionally healthier and happier. The Power of Guilt by Chris Moore is a deep dive into one of our most excruciating – and underutilised – emotions. Through extensive research in psychology, psychotherapy, philosophy, comparative religion and legal studies, as well as his own experiences with it, Moore takes the reader on an eye-opening journey through guilt and shows us that, by embracing it, we may improve our lives, our relationships and our mental health. So no matter who you are or what you have done, you can take comfort in the fact that our ability to feel guilt is a gift, not a burden.
The Physicist and the Philosopher
The explosive debate that transformed our views about time and scientific truth On April 6, 1922, in Paris, Albert Einstein and Henri Bergson publicly debated the nature of time. Einstein considered Bergson's theory of time to be a soft, psychological notion, irreconcilable with the quantitative realities of physics. Bergson, who gained fame as a philosopher by arguing that time should not be understood exclusively through the lens of science, criticized Einstein's theory of time for being a metaphysics grafted on to science, one that ignored the intuitive aspects of time. The Physicist and the Philosopher tells the remarkable story of how this explosive debate transformed our understanding ...
