But beneath the jollity and bright enchantment of the festive season, there lurks a darker mood - one that has found expression over the centuries in a host of strange and unsettling traditions and lore. Here, Sarah Clegg takes us on a journey through midwinter to explore the lesser-known Christmas traditions, from English mummers plays and Austrian Krampus runs, to modern pagan rituals at Stonehenge and the night in Finland when a young girl is crowned with candles as St Lucy - a martyred Christian girl who also appears as a witch leading a procession of the dead. At wassails and hoodenings and winter gatherings, attended by ghastly, grinning horses, snatching monsters and mysterious visitors, we discover how these traditions originated and how they changed through the centuries, and we ask ourselves: if we can't keep the darkness entirely at bay, might it be fun to let a little in?

Silné a inspirativní osobní vzpomínky bývalé první dámy Spojených států amerických. Audioknihu Můj příběh napsala autorka: Michelle Obamová, čte: Zuzana Stivínová.

Tady se také jednoho letního dopoledne objevil student práv jménem Barack Obama.

Michelle Obamová se díky svému životu naplněnému smyslem a úspěchy stala jednou z nejikoničtějších a nejpodmanivějších žen naší éry. Jako první dáma Spojených států amerických a první Afroameričanka v této roli pomohla nastolit nejvlídnější a nejpřístupnější atmosféru v Bílém domě v historii a vybudovala si pozici silné zastánkyně práv žen ve Spojených státech i po celém světě. Radikálně změnila životní styl mnoha rodin, které díky ní vedou zdravější a aktivnější život, naučila nás několik tanečních kroků, zabodovala v Carpool Karaoke Jamese Cordena a v nemilosrdné záři reflektorů dokázala vychovat dvě normální a skromné dcery. Michelle Obamová ve svých pamětech, díle plném hlubokých úvah a úchvatného vypravěčství, zve čtenáře do svého světa a zaznamenává zážitky, které ji formovaly – od dětství v chicagské South Side, přes léta, kdy jako vedoucí pracovnice vyvažovala mateřské a pracovní povinnosti, až po dobu, kterou strávila na nejslavnější světové adrese. S neomylnou upřímností a jiskřivým vtipem popisuje svá vítězství i zklamání na veřejnosti i v soukromí a vypráví svůj příběh, tak jak ho žila – svými slovy a podle svého. Můj příběh je kniha nejen vřelá, moudrá a sdělná, je to také neobvykle důvěrné sdělení ženy, která oplývá silnou duší, inteligencí a přirozenou moudrostí, ženy, která ...

Learn to balance and blend self-care and care for others through we-care, a science-backed compassion training that enhances personal and social well-being, promotes healthy boundaries, and offers a path of healing and growth.Helping professionals and empaths commonly find themselves burning out, overextended in their care for others. Yet few people feel there’s too much compassion in our society, and an overly strong focus on self-care can lead to unskillfulness when faced with interpersonal challenges and a lack of responsiveness to systemic social issues. The emerging science and practice of we-care embraces and transcends the principles of self-care in order to emphasize the inherently social nature of care. From this perspective, care is not a zero-sum game that will inevitably lead to self-indulgence for some and burnout for others, but rather an inherently social force that drives mutually beneficial outcomes. Yet we-care is more than a concept—it is a practical framework and set of tools to offer a more expansive view of care. Compassion researcher and teacher Jordan Quaglia guides you through questions such as, “Do you ever feel the urge to take away other people’s pain and discomfort, no matter the potential personal costs?” and “Do you ever feel overwhelmed ...
