"LAST CHANCE." Nika looks in the mirror one Sunday morning, feeling rather hungover, to see this message daubed on the glass. Who wrote it? And what does it mean? Where are Nika’s house keys and her phone? Where’s Jenny, her flatmate? And why does she feel so terrible this morning – surely she didn’t have that much to drink last night? It’s only when she turns on the TV and sees the morning news that Nika realises it’s not Sunday at all – it’s Tuesday. Two whole days have gone by, and she has no memory of them. During those two days something terrible must have happened. But what?With Aquila, Ursula Poznanski has produced a true psychological thriller. She tells the story almost entirely in reverse, keeping the reader on tenterhooks until the very last page. Not until the shocking twist at the end of the book do we find out what really happened to Nika during those two lost days.

When Gopu’s father (Baba) falls sick, the visually impaired Gopu knows he would have to step out alone. He negotiates the crowds, the markets, and the traffic of the city of Calcutta, all by himself, to reach his grandma’s house to get her to cook Baba’s favourite fish curry. Does he succeed in bringing it home to him? In this book, Richa Jha writes as much about the courage of Gopu as she does about the sounds and smells of a bustling metropolis. Sumanta Dey brings alive the city of Calcutta between the covers of this book and makes the readers feel they are walking alongside Gopu.

Auf der einen Straßenseite leben Douglas, Murilo und Biel in ihrem kleinen Apartment. Auf der anderen erstreckt sich Rio de Janeiros gigantische Rocinha Favela, dort wohnen die Brüder Wesley und Washington. Die Via Ápia markiert eine Grenze, doch gemeinsame Interessen verbinden die fünf jungen Männer: Fußball, Videospiele, Drogen. Schwankend zwischen Arbeitslosigkeit, stupiden Jobs, der strapaziösen Suche nach dem nächsten Joint und tosenden Funkpartys, versuchen die Anfang Zwanzigjährigen gerade, sich irgendwie ins Erwachsenenleben zu kämpfen – als eine Militärpolizeieinheit die Favela besetzt. Doch während nun rund um die Via Ápia die Schüsse hageln, wollen die, die sie ihre Heimat nennen, das pulsierende Leben der Favela nicht aufgeben. Der Staat kennt nur eine Antwort auf die Probleme Brasiliens – und dieser Roman stemmt sich mit seiner Vielfalt kraftvoller, einzigartiger Stimmen dagegen. Geovani Martins erzählt von Freundschaft und Frustration, von den Träumen und Albträumen junger Männer und von den absurden Auswirkungen des Kampfes gegen die Drogen.

At the core of this hands-on resource for psychologists and other practitioners, including educators, coaches, and consultants, is Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice (MBSP), the first structured program to combine mindfulness with the character strengths laid out in the VIA Institute's classification developed by Drs. Martin E. P. Seligman and Christopher Peterson. This 8-session program systematically boosts awareness and application of character strengths. The first section of the book consists of a detailed primer on mindfulness and character strengths while the second part goes into more detail about the integration of mindfulness and character strengths. The third section then leads readers step-by-step through each of the 8 MBSP sessions, including details of session structure and content, suggested homework, 30 practical handouts, as well as inspiring quotes and stories and useful practitioner tips. An additional chapter discusses the adaption of MBSP to different settings and populations (e.g., business, education, individuals, couples). The mindfulness and character strengths meditations on the accompanying CD support growth and development. Target Group: Psychologists, consultants, therapists and counselors, and all those interested in mindfulness, positive psychology, and improving life.
