Robert E. Robert Evan Ornstein Livres

Robert E. Ornstein reexamines what is known about consciousness today & answers the question "What is consciousness?" thru a consideration of intuition & reason. He goes beyond the theory that creative impulses originate in the right side of the brain & rational impulses originate in the left side to show how a synthesis of these two functions can bring about "a more complete science of human consciousness with an extended conception of our own capabilities." Permissions Preface Toward a Complete Psychology Ordinary Consciousness: A Personal Construction Two Sides of the Brain The Temporal Dimensions of Consciousness The Traditional Esoteric Psychologies Introduction Meditation Exercises The Education of the Intuitive Mode The New Synthesis A Brief Introduction Techniques of Self-regulation An Extended Concept of Man A Postscript Notes Index

Scientists from diverse disciplines explore the origins, nature, and processes of both the intuitive and intellectual modes of human awareness

Visually and intellectually explores the history, evolution, construction, and chemical and electrical operation of the brain.

A celebrated psychologist and author of The Origins of Consciousness discusses the different capabilities of the right and left sides of the brain, shedding new light on the ways in which the brain constructs a coherent life. Reprint. 30,000 first printing.

Synthesizes immunobiology, genetics, and psychology to illustrate the emotional and physical importance of pleasure and recommends ways to create positive attitudes that make life an affirmative experience

For years, North Americans have been seeking rational, analytical answers to despair and anxiety. But now, this rational Western perception of consciousness has been challenged by an Eastern discipline which brings into sharp focus the travesty and deception underlying many of the contemporary awareness movements. Yet it is also the author's intent to combat the easy criticisms of the super-rationalists who dismiss every new development as the irresponsible inventions of the "guru-of-the-month club." He offers not only the finding of extensive scientific research on the brain, but also the valuable discoveries of personal experience. There is no one who is better qualified to assess our modern approach to matters of the mind than Robert Ornstein, and he does so with clarity, wit and utter persuasiveness.

Examines the tasks of the brain from regulation of body temperature to the positive effects of tears and crying.

Un corps a été retrouvé dans une canalisation du barrage de Mulholland à Los Angeles. Pour les policiers sur place, pas de doute, il s'agit d'un camé, mort par overdose. Mais l'inspecteur Harry Bosch du LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) n'est pas d'accord. Meadows, il l'a connu, vingt ans plus tôt, au Vietnam, quand ils faisaient l'un et l'autre partie de la compagnie chargée de "nettoyer" les tunnels creusés par l'armée vietcong. Des "rats de tunnel", qui s'enfonçaient dans les ténèbres, la peur au ventre, couteau et lampe à la main, pour tuer des soldats ennemis qui avaient leur âge. Premier roman publié par Michael Connelly, Les Egouts de Los Angeles est un coup de maître. C'est aussi l'acte de naissance de Hieronymus (Harry) Bosch, fils d'une prostituée assassinée, policier au sale caractère, alcoolique, en butte à sa hiérarchie et en guerre contre la débauche de la métropole californienne.

\"Je reicher das Leben an Freude, Genuss und Lust, desto gesünder der Mensch.\" Neueste empirische Untersuchen aus Medizin, Biologie und Psychologie liegen dieser unorthodoxen These der beiden renommierten Autoren zugrunde. Robert Ornstein und David Sobel zeigen eindrucksvoll, wie eine liebevolle Umarmung, ein witziger Film, ein Glas Wein zu einem guten Essen in geselliger Runde mehr bei der Bekämpfung von Krankheiten auszurichten vermögen als Askese, Medikamente und Diäten. Leben Sie also nach dem \"Lustprinzip\". Folgen Sie Ihren Sinnen. Verwöhnen Sie sich und andere. Und erleben Sie, wie aus den vielen kleinen Freuden des Alltags Gesundheit entsteht.
