9 MILLION COPIES SOLD'A book to read, to cherish, to debate, and one that will ultimately keep the memories of the victims alive' John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped PyjamasA prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that both he and others in Auschwitz coped (or didn't) with the experience. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. The sort of person the concentration camp prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone. Frankl came to believe man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living.

Kniha - autor Elizabeth Gilbert, 350 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná It's 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor. She's in her thirties, she has a husband, a house, they're trying for a baby - and she doesn't want any of it. A bitter divorce and a turbulent love affair later, she emerges battered and bewildered and realises it is time to pursue her own journey in search of three things she has been missing: pleasure, devotion and balance. So she travels to Rome, where she learns Italian from handsome, brown-eyed identical twins and gains twenty-five pounds, an ashram in India, where she finds that enlightenment entails getting up in the middle of the night to scrub the temple floor, and Bali where a toothless medicine man of indeterminate age offers her a new path to peace: simply sit still and smile. And slowly happiness begins to creep up on her.

Tato kniha je výsledkem série přednášek, kterou měl autor v letním semestru roku 1966 na Jižní metodistické univerzitě v texaském Dallasu. Ústředním pojmem přednášek je logoterapie – psychoterapie zaměřená na hledání smyslu lidského života. Frankl zde zdůrazňuje systematickou povahu logoterapie, která předpokládá svobodu vůle, vůli ke smyslu a smysl života. Zaměřuje se na konkrétní logoterapeutické techniky a také na aplikační oblasti logoterapie, jež léčí různé typy neuróz. Logoterapie je kladena do kontextu jiných psychoterapeutických škol a závěrečná kapitola knihy se věnuje i jejímu vztahu k teologii. Viktor E. Frankl (1905–1997) byl profesorem neurologie a psychiatrie na Vídeňské univerzitě a profesorem logoterapie na United States International University v Kalifornii a dalších amerických univerzitách. Je tvůrcem tzv. logoterapie a existenciální analýzy jakožto „třetího vídeňského směru psychoterapie“, který se zaměřuje na hledání smyslu v lidském životě. Ve svých knihách Frankl mj. využil své zkušenosti vězně nacistických koncentračních táborů. V Portále vyšly jeho knihy Utrpení z nesmyslnosti života a Teorie a terapie neuróz.

Držíte v rukou nové vydání tří přednášek Viktora Frankla z roku 1946, které mají obrovskou sílu a jsou překvapivě aktuální a které shrnují celé myšlení tohoto velkého lékaře a psychoterapeuta. Jejich smyslem je ukázat, že život má navzdory všemu smysl – navzdory bídě, smrti, utrpení, nemoci, osudu – a je možné mu říci Ano.Mnoho lidí po celém světě skličuje poznání, že materiální blahobyt sám o sobě není tím, co by jejich životu dávalo smysl. Viktor Frankl říká, že je to sám život, kdo nám klade otázky, na něž máme odpovídat. A jedině když na ně odpovídáme, máme možnost naplnit smysl života.Frankl rozvíjí své základní přesvědčení, že být člověkem znamená být schopen zvolit si, jak budeme v různých situacích reagovat, jak k nim budeme přistupovat. Důkazem toho jsou jeho vlastní bolestivé zkušenosti se ztrátou, hladem a strachem ze smrti, ve kterých přese všechno dokázal nalézt i naději, přátelství a smysluplné zkušenosti.V každé krizi se skrývá také příležitost – a to prokázat svou vlastní lidskost.

Vůle ke smyslu představuje autorský výbor z Franklových přednášek, které měl mezi lety 1946 a 1980. Jejich základní téma je následující: Člověk je tvor hledající smysl (logos) a poskytnout člověku pomoc v jeho hledání je jedním z úkolů psychoterapie – a to především Franklem koncipované logoterapie. Výbor doplňuje příspěvek Franklovy žačky Elisabeth S. Lukasové o validizaci účinků logoterapie a Logo-test k měření životní smysluplnosti a jejího opaku – existenciální frustrace. Jedná se o jednu z nejznámějších Fraklových knih, která byla v tomto vydání obohacena o stať „Alpinismus a patologie ducha doby“. Viktor E.

Kniha obsahuje přednášky z let 1957–1975, v nichž se jako červená nit táhne otázka člověka po smyslu života. Viktor Frankl je přesvědčen, že utrpení z pocitu hluboké nesmyslnosti a ochromující prázdnoty života je specifickou nemocí naší doby. Vytvořil proto terapeutickou koncepci, s jejíž pomocí toto existenciální vakuum úspěšně léčil. V této knize dává nahlédnout do svého myšlení i praxe a na mnoha příkladech ukazuje, jak se dá utrpení z nesmyslnosti života léčit. „Názory, které profesor Frankl zastává v této a dalších svých knihách, znamenají nejdůležitější přínos pro obor psychoterapie od časů Freuda, Adlera a Junga. A jeho styl je mnohem čtivější.“ (Sir Cyril Burt, předseda British Psychological Society). „Tento svazek je tak zhuštěný, tak prodchnutý žhoucím humanismem, tak bohatý na dokumentaci a jeho kritické postoje jsou tak uvážlivé, že zasluhuje podrobnou četbu stránka co stránka.“ (Annales Médico-psychologiques). Viktor E.

Po obecném výkladu neuróz autor dělí duševní poruchy na endogenní psychózy, psychosomatická onemocnění, funkční onemocnění a neurózy reaktivní, iatrogenní, psychogenní, noogenní a kolektivní. Výraz „noogenní neurózy“ odráží Franklovo přesvědčení, že i problémy duchovního rázu či existenciální krize se mohou zdát zdrojem neurotických obtíží. Kolektivní neurózy zase znamenají neurotické poruchy typické pro ducha doby, v níž daný člověk žije. V druhé části knihy autor představuje dvě hlavní metody léčby noogenních neuróz – logoterapii jakožto terapii vycházející z duchovních zdrojů a existenciální analýzu coby terapii zaměřenou na duchovní oblast a na osobní duchovní existenci. Kniha je doprovázena mnoha kazuistikami.Viktor E. Frankl (1905–1997) byl profesorem neurologie a psychiatrie.

Strach z lezení působil na známého neurologa a psychiatra jako koření života. Copak si člověk musí od sebe nechat všechno líbit? Nemůže být silnější než strach? V horách dostávají myšlenky volný průběh a vlastně není žádné větší podstatné rozhodnutí v mém životě, které bych tam neučinil. Veškeré zážitky, za které jsme horám a stěnám a horským hřbetům vděčni, se podle Frankla svážejí a ukládají jako životní úroda do stodol, kde jsou chráněny před pomíjivostí. Hluboké myšlenky k horolezectví jsou doplněny působivými snímky Jana Zahradníčka.

Psychiatr a neurolog V. E. Frankl a židovský teolog P. Lapide vedli v roce 1984 ve Vídni mezioborový dialog o spáse a uzdravení člověka. Výsledky jejich diskuze doposud nebyly publikovány. Zvláštností tohoto svazku je především snaha obou autorů zcela se otevřít perspektivě té druhé disciplíny a její vědění využít ve službách hledání pravdy. Oba diskutující se přitom neustále potkávají ve svých osobních náboženských zkušenostech a rozhodujících životních dějinných událostech, jako je např. otázka holocaustu. Podstatnou roli zde hrají základní, existenciální otázky - utrpení a vina, ale i láska a smysl života.

Kniha spojuje dva slavné texty Viktora E. Frankla (1905–1997), psychiatra s českými kořeny a zakladatele logoterapie. Spis Psycholog prožívá koncentrační tábor vznikl během necelých dvou týdnů v prosinci 1945. Autor v něm popisuje, jakými fázemi odlidštění museli vězni procházet a jakou oporou jim byl duchovní rozměr života. Hra Synchronizace v Birkenwaldu z roku 1948, napsaná působivým skicovitým způsobem, je myšlenkovým i literárně-dramatickým experimentem. Propojují se v něm Franklovy osobní zážitky z vyhlazovacího tábora s pomyslnou reflexí a živým dialogem tří filozofů, kteří mu byli blízcí – Sokrata, Spinozy a Kanta. Podle Frankla vždycky zůstává v člověku prostor svobody a odpovědnosti, kterého se nesmí za žádnou cenu vzdát, a to i v extrémní situaci: „Nic nemůže udolat člověka, který si vědomě přeje mít životní cíl.“

Kurt Schindler was an impossible man. His daughter Meriel spent her adult life trying to keep him at bay. Kurt had made extravagant claims about their family history. Were they really related to Franz Kafka and Oscar Schindler, of Schindler's List fame? Or Hitler's Jewish doctor - Dr Bloch? What really happened on Kristallnacht, the night that Nazis beat Kurt's father half to death and ransacked the family home? When Kurt died in 2017, Meriel felt compelled to resolve her mixed feelings about him, and to solve the mysteries he had left behind. Starting with photos and papers found in Kurt's isolated cottage, Meriel embarked on a journey of discovery taking her to Austria, Italy and the USA. She reconnected family members scattered by feuding and war. She pieced together an extraordinary story taking in two centuries, two world wars and a family business: the famous Café Schindler. Launched in 1922 as an antidote to the horrors of the First World War, this grand café became the whirling social centre of Innsbruck. And then the Nazis arrived. Through the story of the Café Schindler and the threads that spool out from it, this moving book weaves together memoir, family history and an untold story of the Jews of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It explores the restorative power of writing, and offers readers a profound reflection on memory, truth, trauma and the importance of cake.

Could we augment human biology for spaceflight? Could the search for extraterrestrials be brought into the mainstream of scientific research?Avi Loeb tells us that in each case, the real question is not could we, but will we choose to? With an approach that is firmly grounded in cutting-edge science, he explores the potential for non-rocket space launch, deep space probes, and the technological preservation of human civilisation.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERPICKED BY THE SUNDAY TIMES, GUARDIAN, INDEPENDENT, IRISH TIMES, SPECTATOR, TLS, NEW STATESMAN, MAIL ON SUNDAY, I PAPER, PROSPECT, REVEW31 AND EVENING STANDARD AS A BOOK OF 2021''A masterclass from a warm and engagingly enthusiastic companion'' Guardian Summer Reading Picks 2021‘This book is a delight, and it’s about delight too. How necessary, at our particular moment’ Tessa Hadley________________From the New York Times-bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo and Tenth of December comes a literary master class on what makes great stories work and what they can tell us about ourselves - and our world today.For the last twenty years, George Saunders has been teaching a class on the Russian short story to his MFA students at Syracuse University. In A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, he shares a version of that class with us, offering some of what he and his students have discovered together over the years. Paired with iconic short stories by Chekhov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Gogol, the seven essays in this book are intended for anyone interested in how fiction works and why it’s more relevant than ever in these turbulent times.In his introduction, Saunders writes, “We’re going to enter seven fastidiously constructed scale models of the world, made for a specific purpose that our time maybe doesn’t fully endorse but that these writers accepted implicitly as the aim of art—namely, to ask the big questions, questions like, How are we supposed to be living down here? What were we put here to accomplish? What should we value? What is truth, anyway, and how might we recognize it?” He approaches the stories technically yet accessibly, and through them explains how narrative functions; why we stay immersed in a story and why we resist it; and the bedrock virtues a writer must foster. The process of writing, Saunders reminds us, is a technical craft, but also a way of training oneself to see the world with new openness and curiosity.A Swim in a Pond in the Rain is a deep exploration not just of how great writing works but of how the mind itself works while reading, and of how the reading and writing of stories make genuine connection possible.
