To Have or To Be? - Erich Fromm
To Have Or to Be? is one of the seminal books of the second half of the 20th century. Nothing less than a manifesto for a new social and psychological revolution to save our threatened planet, this book is a summary of the penetrating thought of Eric Fromm. His thesis is that two modes of existence struggle for the spirit of humankind: the having mode, which concentrates on material possessions, power, and aggression, and is the basis of the universal evils of greed, envy, and violence; and the being mode, which is based on love, the pleasure of sharing, and in productive activity. To Have Or to Be? is a brilliant program for socioeconomic change.

To Have or To Hold - Sophie Pavelle
LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION WRITINGA thrilling exploration of nature’s symbiotic relationships by the award-winning author of Forget Me Not.What can nature teach us about living together? Investigating eight symbiotic relationships trying to survive the climate and biodiversity crises, Sophie Pavelle explains why it has never been more vital for us to understand symbiosis. Symbiotic relationships regulate ecosystems, strengthen resilience and bind pivotal connections, and nature thrives on relationships as glamorous as they are grotesque and as bizarre as they are engrossing.Symbiotic relationships don''t happen accidentally – these dynamics evolved – and species form and sever alliances everywhere, from deep within temperate rainforests to the open ocean, quiet tidal pools or chalk grasslands.In To Have or To Hold, Sophie low-carbon travels in the British Isles relishing the interconnectedness between species, celebrating the relationships underpinning natural environments and sharing some of nature’s frauds, fortune-tellers, misfits and cheaters.The natural world is built on parasitism, a cunning blend of bargaining and exploitation in the name of survival. In our relationship with the natural world, are we the parasites? Will we continue to exploit nature’s resources? Or will we vow to love and cherish what remains – shaping a more restorative life alongside nature – till death us do part?

To Have and to Hold - Molly Millwood
A clinical psychologist''s exploration of the modern dilemmas women face in the wake of new motherhood When Molly Millwood became a mother, she was fully prepared for what she would gain: an adorable baby boy; hard-won mothering skills; and a messy, chaotic, beautiful life. But what she did not expect was what she would lose: aspects of her identity, a baseline level of happiness, a general sense of wellbeing. And though she had the benefit of a supportive husband during this transition, she also at times resented the fact that the disruption to his life seemed to pale in comparison to hers.As a clinical psychologist, Molly knew her experience was a normal response to a life-changing event. But without the advantage of such a perspective, many of the patients she treated in her private practice grappled with self-doubt, guilt, and fear, and suffered the dual pain of not only the struggle to adjust but also the overwhelming shame for struggling at all.In To Have and to Hold, Molly explores the complex terrain of new motherhood, illuminating the ways it affects women psychologically, emotionally, physically, and professionally''as well as how it impacts their partnership. Along with the arrival of a bundle of joy come thorny issues such as self-worth, control, autonomy, and dependency. And for most new mothers, these issues are experienced within the context of an intimate relationship, adding another layer of tension, conflict, and confusion to an already challenging time.As Molly examines the inextricable link between women''s well-being as new mothers and the well-being of their relationships, she offers guidance to help readers reclaim their identities, overcome their guilt and shame, and repair their relationships. A blend of personal narrative, scientific research, and stories from Molly''s clinical practice, To Have and to Hold provides a much-needed lifeline to new mothers everywhere.

Have You Filled a Bucket Today? - Carol McCloud
"Children are not the only ones that need to learn how to be truly happy. It's all in the bucket, that invisible bucket that follows you everywhere... teaches young readers valuable lessons about giving, sharing, and caring. This guide to daily happiness, though, is not just for kids. We all need reminders of the benefits of positive thinking and positive behavior. It's an important lesson to teach and remind us all . . . that showing kindness and appreciation of others goes a long way to making this world a happier place for everyone, including ourselves. A classic tale, beautifully told and beautifully shared." --Emily-Jane Hills Orford, Readers' Favorite Book Reviews While using a simple metaphor of a bucket and a dipper, author Carol McCloud illustrates that when we choose to be kind, we not only fill the buckets of those around us, but also fill our OWN bucket! Conversely, when we choose to say or do mean things, we are dipping into buckets. All day long, we are either filling up or dipping into each other's buckets by what we say and what we do. When you're a bucket filler, you make the world a better place to be! This 32-page picture book is perfect for children, parents, grandparents, teachers and people that want to teach empathy, nurture kindness and create a positive environment in their home, classroom, workplace and community.

The Will to Change - Bell Hooks
From New York Times bestselling author, feminist pioneer, and cultural icon bell hooks, a timelessly necessary treatise on how patriarchy and toxic masculinity hurts us all.Feminist writing did not tell us about the deep inner misery of men. Everyone needs to love and be loved—including men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways in which patriarchal culture keeps them from understanding themselves. In The Will to Change, bell hooks provides a compassionate guide for men of all ages and identities to understand how to be in touch with their feelings, and how to express versus repress the emotions that are a fundamental part of who we are. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. The Will to Change “creates space for men to acknowledge their traumas and heal—not only for their sake, but for the sake of everyone in their lives” (BuzzFeed).

The Little Guide to Louis Vuitton - OH
For over 150 years, Louis Vuitton''s monographed bags have been associated with style and luxury. Born in 1821, he had left home at 13 to seek his fortune in Paris where he became an apprentice box-maker which eventually led him to introductions at the French Royal Court. With royal endorsement, Louis opened of his first workshop in 1854 where his skills and innovations established his brand as one of Europe''s most popular.Passing his passion for crafting beautiful luggage onto his son, Georges, and later his grandson Gaston-Louis, they ensured the company continued to grow, surviving two world wars, to become the luxury brand it''s renowned for.Louis Vuitton stores opened in cities throughout the world and expanded into other high-end brands.

Mít, nebo být? - Erich Fromm
Erich Fromm, jehož humanistické knihy již psychologii a filozofii zpřístupnily čtenářům několika generací, zde analyzuje povahu západní společnosti, hledá původ jejích problémů a nabízí alternativu jejího vývoje. Popisuje dva základní způsoby života: Zatímco „mít“ se zabývá získáváním a soutěží, „být“ se zaměřuje na vnitřní spokojenost a harmonii. Naše společnost si cení vlastnictví (majetku, statusu, úspěchu, požitků…), avšak rostoucí ekologické problémy nás nutí ke změně priorit a novému zaměření na sounáležitost se světem, rozvoj tvořivosti, osobní zodpovědnost a svědomí. Fromm své vize nového světa přesvědčivě opírá o učení takových autorit, jako byl Buddha, Ježíš, Mistr Eckhart nebo Albert Schweitzer. Kniha, která poprvé vyšla v roce 1976, se stala Frommovým nejslavnějším dílem. Erich Fromm (1900–1980) byl původem německý sociální psycholog, sociolog, psychoanalytik, humanistický filozof a demokratický socialista, spojený s tzv. frankfurtskou školou a s kulturní psychoanalýzou. Frankfurtská škola představovala západní neomarxistické filozofické hnutí, jež kritizovalo některé aspekty kapitalistické společnosti. Kulturní psychoanalýza vycházela z Freuda, ale oproti jeho učení zdůrazňovala sociokulturní vlivy ve vývoji člověka. Fromm jakožto Žid v roce 1933 emigroval do Spojených států. Konec života strávil ve Švýcarsku. Mezi jeho nejznámější knihy patří např. Strach ze svobody (Portál, 2015), Umění milovat (Portál, 2016), Anatomie lidské destruktivity (Portál, 2019).

The Art of Being - Erich Fromm
How can we realise and actualise love, reason and meaningful, productive work? If the Art of Being - the art of functioning as a whole person - can be considered the supreme goal of life, a breakthrough occurs when we move from narcissistic selfishness and egotism - from having - to psychological and spiritual happiness - being. The Art of Being remains one of the most important and sought-after works in the Fromm canon.Fromm here offers a path to true wellbeing and a way of living based on authentic self-awareness that comes only through honest self-analysis. He warns of the pitfalls of our attaining enlightenment without effort, or believing that life can be lived without pain. The tantalising ''spiritual smorgasbord'' offered by our consumer-oriented world, Fromm maintains, only feeds our illusions of ''easy awareness''. Confronting the psycho-gurus who preach these shortcuts to enlightenment, Fromm offers another way to self-awareness through meditation rather than material gain.This volume is a sequel to one of Erich Fromm''s most popular works, To Have or to Be. In this book, Fromm examines the true paths - as opposed to false directions - that will lead us to self-knowledge and enlightenment. This edition, commemorating thirty years since the first English publication of The Art of Being, features an updated introduction from editor Rainer Funk.

Umění být - Erich Fromm
V letech 1974–1976, kdy zestárlý Fromm pracoval na díle Mít, nebo být, napsal mnohem více kapitol, než kolik jich bylo skutečně užito v knize, jež poprvé vyšla v roce 1976. Některé z nich obsahuje právě tento svazek. Pojednávají o „cestě k bytí“, jež může člověka naučit „umění být“. K němu ho dovedou láska, rozum a tvůrčí aktivita, které – na rozdíl od majetkových předmětů, jež se užíváním spotřebovávají – sdílením a užíváním rostou a znásobují se. Fromm rovněž varuje před představou, že osvícení můžeme dosáhnout bez úsilí, a před vírou, že život lze žít bez bolesti. Jeho cesta k sebeuvědomění a blahu je založena na psychoanalýze a meditaci. V umění být – v umění fungovat jako plná osobnost – lze vidět nejvyšší cíl života. Ten se nám podaří, když se obrátíme od narcistické sebevztaženosti, egoismu a vlastnické orientace k psychologickému a duchovnímu štěstí – k orientaci na bytí. Erich Fromm (1900–1980) byl původem německý sociální psycholog, sociolog, humanistický filozof a demokratický socialista, spojený s tzv. frankfurtskou školou a s kulturní psychoanalýzou. Fromm v roce 1933 emigroval do Spojených států. Konec života strávil ve Švýcarsku. V Portále vyšly jeho knihy Strach ze svobody a Umění milovat.

Strach ze svobody - Erich Fromm
Strach ze svobody patří k nejznámějším dílům Ericha Fromma, který ji napsal během exilového pobytu ve Spojených státech, kam musel utéci před Hitlerovým nacismem. Vzhledem k tomu, že lidem z demokratických společností se navzdory faktům zdálo neuvěřitelné, že by nacistickou ideologii i praxi aktivně podporovaly široké vrstvy německého národa, považoval Fromm za nutné vysvětlit psychologické kořeny tohoto úděsného jevu. Výstižně poukazuje na fakt, který nikdo před ním explicitně psychologicky nerozpracoval – fakt dvojznačnosti lidské svobody, jež se může stát otevřením možností, stejně jako cestou do úzkosti z osamění a izolace. Je-li svoboda pojímána oním druhým způsobem, svádí do pasti autoritářství, destruktivity či konformismu. Fromm ve svém díle pátrá, kdy takový strach ze svobody vznikl a co jej podpořilo, a přes všechna svá zjištění se domnívá, že je v lidských schopnostech stát se sebou samým skrze tvorbu, smyslovou radost, lásku či práci. Erich Fromm (1900–1980) byl původem německý sociální psycholog, sociolog, humanistický filozof a demokratický socialista, spojený s tzv. frankfurtskou školou a s kulturní psychoanalýzou. Mezi jeho nejznámější knihy patří Strach ze svobody, Umění milovat, Anatomie lidské destruktivity, Mít, nebo být.

Anatomie lidské destruktivity - Erich Fromm
Kniha, která je někdy pokládána za Frommovo nejoriginálnější a nejkomplexnější dílo, pojednává o různých aspektech agrese, a to za pomoci poznatků z lidské i zvířecí psychologie, neurofyziologie, paleontologie a antropologie. Fromm rozlišuje benigní a maligní agresi. Jenom benigní agresi, která slouží adaptivním účelům, jako například obraně, máme společnou se zvířaty. Na druhé straně maligní agrese – krutost a destruktivita – je výhradně lidská. U člověka jsou instinkty nahrazeny charakterem a ten někdy zejména působením společenských faktorů nabývá sadistické nebo nekrofilní povahy. Fromm to ilustruje na psychobiografii Hitlera a dalších lidí. Kniha z roku 1973, která ani v dnešním světě neztratila svou aktuálnost, bývá oceňována především pro to, jak bravurně vyvrací některé konkurenční přístupy k chápání agrese a destruktivity. Erich Fromm (1900–1980) byl původem německý sociální psycholog, sociolog, psychoanalytik, humanistický filozof a demokratický socialista, spojený s tzv. frankfurtskou školou a s kulturní psychoanalýzou. Mezi jeho nejznámější knihy patří také Strach ze svobody (Portál, 2015), Umění milovat (Portál, 2016), Mít, nebo být.

Patologie normálnosti - Erich Fromm
Na základě čeho je člověk duševně zdravý? Tak se ptá Erich Fromm ve svých přednáškách z let 1953–1974. To, co je ve společnosti přijato jako normální, může být podle autora ve skutečnosti patologické. V důsledku toho jedinec, který se vyznačuje společensky přijatou patologií, je vnímán jako adaptovaný člen společnosti, a naopak někdo vlastně duševně zdravý může trpět vyloučením do té míry, že se u něj projeví duševní nemoc. A tak je v nemocné společnosti, jež je dnes primárně řízena ekonomickými požadavky, podle Fromma tím zdravým a přizpůsobeným autoritářský, marketingový či nekrofilní charakter. K těmto úvahám přispěl Frommův pobyt v Mexiku, který mu dovolil nutný odstup od průmyslové společnosti soudobých Spojených států amerických. V Mexiku se totiž setkal s lidmi, kteří si dovolují být „líní“ a dávají přednost volnému času před vyděláváním peněz. Fromm zároveň ukazuje, že líný i aktivní je člověk ze svých vnitřních příčin, a tedy nemusí být k aktivitě nucen.

Mít, nebo být? - Erich Fromm - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Ze štvance chtivosti člověkem, který se řídí svým svědomím a osobní zodpovědností k sobě samému i k svým bližním. Erich Fromm, jehož humanistické knihy již psychologii a filozofii zpřístupnily čtenářům několika generací, zde analyzuje povahu západní společnosti, hledá původ jejích problémů a nabízí alternativu jejího vývoje. Popisuje dva základní způsoby života: Zatímco „mít“ se zabývá získáváním a soutěží, „být“ se zaměřuje na vnitřní spokojenost a harmonii. Naše společnost si cení vlastnictví (majetku, statusu, úspěchu, požitků…), avšak rostoucí ekologické problémy nás nutí ke změně priorit a novému zaměření na sounáležitost se světem, rozvoj tvořivosti, osobní zodpovědnost a svědomí. Fromm své vize nového světa přesvědčivě opírá o učení takových autorit, jako byl Buddha, Ježíš, Mistr Eckhart nebo Albert Schweitzer. Kniha, která poprvé vyšla v roce 1976, se stala Frommovým nejslavnějším dílem.

Umění milovat - Erich Fromm
Láska ve všech svých formách představuje základ tvořivé síly, aktivní péči o život, odpovědnost za život a úctu k životu. Praktický prožitek lásky má podobu čistě osobního zážitku, jenž může pociťovat pouze každý sám a ze svého nitra. Hlavní podmínkou pro dosažení tohoto citu je překonání vlastního narcisismu a následné získání schopnosti osvojit si objektivní obraz: vidět lidi i věci takové, jací skutečně jsou. Umění milovat závisí na schopnosti růst, vyvinout tvůrčí orientaci vůči světu i vůči sobě. Niterný proces však vyžaduje radikální společenskou změnu, která umožní splynutí milující povahy člověka s jeho společenskou existencí. Erich Fromm (1900–1980) byl původem německý sociální psycholog, sociolog, humanistický filozof a demokratický socialista, spojený s tzv. frankfurtskou školou a s kulturní psychoanalýzou.

While everywhere else you look there are loud, confident people?You're not alone.

It's something to embrace and be proud of.In this book, Ben introduces readers to some of the most famous, talented and brilliant shy people - including Charles Darwin, David Bowie, Greta Thunberg, Rosa Parks, Beyonce and Emma Watson - who used their special quietness to achieve awesome things, and he shares his tips for growing up shy in a world that can sometimes feel, well, LOUD.Because you don't have to be loud to be liked, and you definitely don't have to be loud to make an impact.

Chariots of the Gods? - Erich von Däniken
All over the world there are fantastic ruins and objects that cannot be explained by conventional history, archaeology or religion. In the ground-breaking Chariots of the Gods, Erich von Daniken provides answers to these questions...why do religious texts often refer to Gods who descend from fiery chariots? Why do modern space launch sites look like constructions on the plains of Nazca in Peru? Was God an astronaut?By looking at human history and the ruins of ancient civilisations with an open mind, Erich von Daniken offers a new solution to these eternal mysteries in Chariots of the Gods. Why, for instance, do the world's sacred books describe Gods who came down from the sky in fiery chariots and always promised to return? How could an ancient Sanskrit text contain an account which could only be of a journey in an alien craft? Compare photographs of American space centre launch sites to the constructions on the plains of Nazca in Peru.In order to understand the mysteries which Erich von Daniken has catalogued we must go back to these ancient relics with an open mind. We must call in the resources and experience of sciences other than archaeology. Chariots of the Gods is a provocative attempt to explain some of the universe's most interesting mysteries.Erich von Daniken has spent a lifetime gathering evidence to prove that, before the dawn of recorded history, our ancestors were visited by an alien race. Erich von Daniken was responsible for popularising the ancient astronaut hypothesis of human development. Orthodox historians have been sceptical but a vast public have been drawn to his ideas by instinctive interest and wonder.His 26 books have sold over 60 million copies in over 40 languages.

What to Save and Why - Erich Hatala Matthes
What does a sanctuary for Hawaiian crows have in common with a troop of robots programmed to perform the MÄori haka, or recreations of World Heritage Sites built in Minecraft?A family heirloom. An endangered species. An ancient piece of pottery. A threatened language. These things differ in myriad ways, but they are tied together by a common thread: they are all examples of things that call out to be saved. The world is brimming with things worth saving, and we have limited time and resources. How do we decide what to save? Why do we make these choices? Philosopher Erich Hatala Matthes explores these questions as they surface in radically diverse contexts--from museums to TikTok, and from National Parks to the corner of your attic. Matthes illustrates the deep relationship between the things we might save and our sense of self. If our cares and concerns are a fundamental part of our identity, then what we care for and preserve will play a significant role in shaping and maintaining our understanding of who we are. In a world in which everything that we care about is subject to powerful forces of change--from climate disturbance and armed conflict, to social transformation and the wear and tear of time--the terms on which we confront change will be key to whether and how we can save the things we care about in the ways that really matter to us. Will change be foisted upon us? Or is there a role for us to play in rejecting, influencing, or managing change? As he explores these questions, Matthes tackles related themes such as authenticity, agency, and appropriation: Who exactly should be responsible for saving things, and on whose behalf should such efforts be pursued? These are all essential elements to a fuller understanding of what to save and why.

The Person You Mean to Be - Dolly Chugh
“Finally: an engaging, evidence-based book about how to battle biases, champion diversity and inclusion, and advocate for those who lack power and privilege. Dolly Chugh makes a convincing case that being an ally isn’t about being a good person—it’s about constantly striving to be a better person.” —Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take, Originals, and Option B with Sheryl SandbergForeword by Laszlo Bock, the bestselling author of Work Rules! and former Senior Vice President of People Operations at GoogleAn inspiring guide from Dolly Chugh, an award-winning social psychologist at the New York University Stern School of Business, on how to confront difficult issues including sexism, racism, inequality, and injustice so that you can make the world (and yourself) better.Many of us believe in equality, diversity, and inclusion. But how do we stand up for those values in our turbulent world? The Person You Mean to Be is the smart, "semi-bold" person’s guide to fighting for what you believe in.Dolly reveals the surprising causes of inequality, grounded in the "psychology of good people". Using her research findings in unconscious bias as well as work across psychology, sociology, economics, political science, and other disciplines, she offers practical tools to respectfully and effectively talk politics with family, to be a better colleague to people who don’t look like you, and to avoid being a well-intentioned barrier to equality. Being the person we mean to be starts with a look at ourselves.She argues that the only way to be on the right side of history is to be a good-ish— rather than good—person. Good-ish people are always growing. Second, she helps you find your "ordinary privilege"—the part of your everyday identity you take for granted, such as race for a white person, sexual orientation for a straight person, gender for a man, or education for a college graduate. This part of your identity may bring blind spots, but it is your best tool for influencing change. Third, Dolly introduces the psychological reasons that make it hard for us to see the bias in and around us. She leads you from willful ignorance to willful awareness. Finally, she guides you on how, when, and whom, to engage (and not engage) in your workplaces, homes, and communities. Her science-based approach is a method any of us can put to use in all parts of our life.Whether you are a long-time activist or new to the fight, you can start from where you are. Through the compelling stories Dolly shares and the surprising science she reports, Dolly guides each of us closer to being the person we mean to be.
