Den Wegen der Natur zu folgen ist notwendig, um von Gewalt, Trauma und Krankheit zu Wohlbefinden, Frieden und Widerstandsfähigkeit zu gelangen. Millionen von Jahren lang folgten Wölfe, Wale, Menschen und andere Tiere demselben bewährten Rezept für die Aufzucht der Nachkommen und die Schaffung gesunder, widerstandsfähiger Gemeinschaften. Doch vor etwa 10.000 Jahren brach eine Gruppe von Menschen mit den Wegen der Natur und begab sich auf jenen traumatisierenden Pfad, der zu den heutigen globalen Krisen geführt hat.Dieses Buch verbindet Wissenschaft mit den Erfahrungen und Erkenntnissen unserer tierischen Verwandten und ist ein wichtiger Leitfaden, um die Menschheit wieder in Einklang mit den natürlichen Wegen des Wohlbefindens und der Ganzheit zu bringen. Wir sehen, wie Elefanten Gemeinschaften bilden und sich in der Kinderbetreuung aufteilen, wie Wölfe einen inneren moralischen Kompass entwickeln, wie Bären den Geist, den Körper und das Gehirn ihrer Kinder pflegen, und vieles mehr. Das gewachsene Nest zeigt, wie unsere Spezies heilen, wiederaufleben, sich erneuern und eine blühende Gegenwart und Zukunft für den gesamten Planeten schaffen kann.

'A road map for any adult supporting children... a must read!' Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair PlayAn essential guide for parents and caregivers, this book offers insights, strategies and understanding to navigate middle childhood (ages 6-12). Dr. Sheryl Ziegler, a seasoned clinical psychologist and mother, highlights ways to foster resilience, encourage open communication and build lasting connections during this crucial period. A pivotal sea change is happening in children's development. The age of puberty has been trending earlier for decades and now starts as young as eight years old in girls and nine in boys. Bullying doesn't just happen on the playground, but over text and DMs. Depression and anxiety are drastically on the rise. Couple earlier puberty with ill-equipped, developing brains and the onslaught of new media and stressors that never existed when we were kids, and it's clear that parents need a new guide to raise this new generation. The Crucial Years is your essential handbook to navigating the often misunderstood and overlooked years of middle childhood (ages 6-12). As a mother and clinical psychologist, Dr. Sheryl Ziegler knows first-hand how challenging these years can be - yet she also recognizes that this is a tender age and pivotal opportunity to connect with your child before adolescence. Dr. Ziegler masterfully unlocks the enigma surrounding modern puberty and offers evidence-based strategies, interventions and answers to middle childhood's most perplexing questions and concerns. In these pages she provides: - Science-based advice to recognize the first signs of puberty and navigate the changes to come. - Candid and actionable guidance for getting your kids to talk about anxiety, depression and their complicated feelings. - Insight into the changing world of gender and sexual identity, and how to guide your child through this complicated new landscape. - A thoughtful and sensitive discussion of how race intersects with puberty and mental health, and how all parents can approach this mindfully and inclusively. - A clear explanation of the invisible threads linking mood swings, self-image and social media exposure. - Road-tested, real-world guidance to handle bullies, mean girls and other friendship and social challenges. The Crucial Years gives you everything you need to guide your child through the hazards and thrills of puberty and help them emerge as well-rounded, confident young adults.

It's absolutely brilliant' Dr Rangan Chatterjee<BR><BR>'Urgent and essential' Guardian<BR><BR>Acclaimed psychologist Jonathan Haidt reveals how the decline of free-play in childhood and the rise of smartphone use among adolescents is changing our world<BR><BR>From 2010, as teens traded in their flip phones for smartphones packed with social media apps, unsupervised time online soared while face-to-face conversations with friends and family plummeted, and so did mental health. This profound shift took place against a backdrop of diminishing childhood freedom and over-supervision in the real world, depriving children of the experiences they most need to become strong and self-governing adults.<BR><BR>The Anxious Generation delves into the latest research to show how this shift from free-play to smartphones disrupts development - from sleep deprivation to addiction - and lays the foundations of isolation and fear that define society today. Grounded in ancient wisdom and packed full of cutting-edge science and practical advice, this eye-opening book is a life-raft for anyone who wants to understand how the most rapid rewiring of human relationships and consciousness in human history has made it harder for all of us to think, focus, forget ourselves enough to care about others and build close relationships. <BR>

Acclaimed developmental psychologist David Yeager reveals the new science of motivating young people in this groundbreaking book. It is a must-read for parents, educators and mentors.<BR>___________________________________<BR>'Required reading for anyone who aspires to be a wise influence on the young people they care about.' Angela Duckworth<BR><BR>'One of the most fascinating and important books of the past decade . . . It will change millions of lives.' Carol Dweck<BR><BR>'This book is life-changing . . . a must-read for anyone who works with young people.'<BR>Laurie Santos, Professor of Psychology at Yale University and host of The Happiness Lab podcast<BR><BR>'An important and extremely useful book.' Andrew Huberman<BR>__________________________________________<BR>In 10 to 25, David Yeager explains the emerging science of adolescent and young adult brains to reveal how we can engage, teach and support the young people in our lives. Neuroscientists have discovered that around age ten, changes in the brain spur young people to crave socially rewarding experiences, such as pride, admiration, and respect, and to become highly averse to social pain. This sensitivity to status and respect continues into the mid-twenties. 10 to 25 helps adults to use this science to learn how to encourage young people and avoid frustrating patterns of miscommunication and conflict.<BR><BR>Yeager explains how to adopt the mentor mindset - a leadership style that's attuned to young people's need for status and respect - by following a few highly effective and easy-to-learn practices. These include validating young people's perspectives (rather than dismissing them), asking them questions (rather than telling them what to do), and holding them to high standards (rather than coddling them). Yeager's scientific experiments have shown these practices reduce a wide variety of behaviour problems, including mental health issues, unhealthy eating, stress and purposelessness.<BR><BR>Young people in this age group are poised to learn, grow, and accomplish incredible things - if only we can tap into the basic neurobiological systems that drive their motivation and behaviour. 10 to 25 offers long-term strategies to help nurture well-adjusted, independent, accomplished young adults, and is necessary reading for all parents, educators and mentors.

Chances are that you are getting it all wrong. <BR>In this eye-opening new work, slut-shaming expert Leora Tanenbaum explains that when we criticize young women for wearing body-revealing outfits and sharing sexy selfies, we are losing the plot.<BR>The problem is not with the actions young women take but with the toxic, sexist conditions they are responding to.<BR>Young people are sick of being held responsible for others' inability to keep their eyes off their bodies. They explain that most of the time, they aren't even trying to sexualize themselves-and, when they do, they are taking control over their bodily autonomy and standing up for themselves.<BR>Tanenbaum demonstrates that "sexy" does not mean "inviting sex," and that when young women and nonbinary people embrace a sexualized aesthetic or post sexy pictures, they do so on their own terms.<BR>In choosing to wear body-revealing clothing and posting sexy selfies, young people are taking a stand for themselves and against three pillars of nonconsensual sexualization that shape their daily lives:<BR> Gendered dress codes, which allow teachers and administrators to scrutinize and comment on girls' bodies; Nonconsensual sharing of intimate images ("revenge porn" and "deepfakes"), which portray girls and women as sexual objects deserving of public humiliation; The aftermath of sexual harassment and assault, when victims are told-still today, even after #MeToo-that they were "asking for it." There's nothing wrong with taking and sharing intimate pictures. There's nothing wrong with feeling good about one's body. Everyone should be able to stand up for themselves, experience a sense of bodily autonomy, and shape and share their image on their own terms. <BR>If you like cultural criticism that supports women of all identities, then you'll love Sexy Selfie Nation.

Die siebzehnjährige Hana träumt von einer besseren Zukunft für sich und ihre Mutter, doch das Leben meint es nicht gut mit ihr. Es ist kurz vor der Jahrtausendwende, und in Japan ist die Wirtschaft ins Stocken geraten. Als die ältere Kimiko Hana unter ihre Fittiche nimmt, wird sie Teil einer neuen, selbst gewählten Familie: einer bunt zusammengewürfelten Gruppe von jungen Frauen, die am Rande der Gesellschaft leben. Unter der Führung von Kimiko übernehmen sie eine Bar, und zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben fühlt Hana ein gewisses Maß an Freiheit und Sicherheit. Doch als das Geld zur Neige geht, sieht sie keine Möglichkeit, ihren Lebensunterhalt ehrlich zu verdienen, und so rutscht Hana immer tiefer in eine kriminelle Parallelwelt, aus der es scheinbar kein Zurück mehr gibt. In ihrem neuen Roman erzählt Mieko Kawakami eindringlich von der Hoffnung, die eine Wahlfamilie verspricht, und widmet sich scharfsinnig der Illusion des freien Willens und der Frage nach menschlicher Würde. ¿Das gelbe Haus¿ erreichte Platz 5 beim SPIEGEL-Buchpreis 2025.
