La forza della resilienza

La vera capacità di adattarsi a un mondo in continuo cambiamento scaturisce da forze interne come la grinta, la gratitudine e la compassione. Questa è la resilienza, quella dote di cui abbiamo bisogno ogni giorno per crescere una famiglia, lavorare insieme ad altri, affrontare lo stress, i problemi di salute, le divergenze, il dolore o semplicemente i momenti di difficoltà. Con la sua caratteristica miscela di neuroscienza, mindfulness e psicologia positiva, il dottor Rick Hanson ci mostra come sviluppare dodici forze interiori vitali legate al nostro sistema nervoso. Attraverso una guida pratica, piena di suggerimenti concreti, esercizi, esempi personali e informazioni preziose su come funziona il nostro cervello, ci offre gli strumenti per affrontare le sfide della vita con meno ansia, più ottimismo, fiducia in noi stessi, calma e concentrazione. Caloroso, incoraggiante ed efficace, l'approccio passo-passo del dottor Hanson insegna come allenare il nostro cervello ai pensieri positivi, come liberarsi dai sentimenti dolorosi e sostituirli con autocompassione, autostima, gioia e pace interiore. © 2018 Giunti Editore S.p.A. © 2018 by Rick Hanson and Forest Hanson

Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm, and Confidence

Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm, and Confidence shows you how to tap the hidden power of everyday experiences to change your brain and your life for the better. The book has been endorsed by Stephen Porges, Thich Nhat Hanh, Dan Siegel, Kristin Neff, Paul Gilbert, Harville Hendrix, Geneen Roth, Jack Kornfield, Sara Gottfried, Tara Brach, Bill O'Hanlon, Sharon Salzberg, and many others. (See all the endorsements here.) Using this book, you can beat the brain's negativity bias, which is like Velcro for negative experiences but Teflon for positive ones. This bias evolved to help ancient animals survive, but today it makes us feel needlessly frazzled, worried, irritated, lonely, inadequate, and blue. Instead, in just a few seconds at a time in the flow of daily life, you can turn your experiences - the pleasure in a cup of coffee, the accomplishment in finishing a tricky email, the warmth from a friend's smile - into lasting inner strengths built into your brain, such as resilience, balance, and positive emotions. Grounded in neuroscience, Hardwiring Happiness is super-practical, full of easy-to-use methods and guided practices to grow a steady well-being, self-worth, and inner peace. And it has special sections on children, motivation, relationships, trauma, and spiritual practice. The program also covers managing the Stone Age brain for life in the 21st century. It tells you how to take in experiences of your core needs being met, so that you gradually leave the "red zone" of fight-flight-freeze stress and get centered in the brain's "green zone" in which you feel an ongoing ease, fulfillment, and love - even while you deal with life's challenges. **Please Contact Customer Service for Additional Documents**

Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm, and Confidence

Why is it easier to ruminate over hurt feelings than it is to bask in the warmth of being appreciated? Because your brain evolved to learn quickly from bad experiences, but slowly from good ones. You can change this. Life isn't easy, and having a brain wired to take in the bad and ignore the good makes us worried, irritated, and stressed, instead of confident, secure, and happy. But each day is filled with opportunities to build inner strengths and Dr. Rick Hanson, an acclaimed clinical psychologist, shows what you can do to override the brain's default pessimism. Hardwiring Happiness lays out a simple method that uses the hidden power of everyday experiences to build new neural structures full of happiness, love, confidence, and peace. You'll learn to see through the lies your brain tells you. Dr. Hanson's four steps build strengths into your brain-counterbalancing its ancient negativity bias-making contentment and a powerful sense of resilience the new normal. In mere minutes each day, you can transform your brain into a refuge and power center of calm and happiness. You can hardwire in happiness.
