        Mindful Photography

        by Sven Barnow

        One of the best-known mindfulness researchers, Jon Kabat-Zinn, defines "mindfulness" as a specific form of attention to the here and now, intentional and non-judgmental. What does this mean for photography, for us as photographers?   The psychologist, scientist and passionate photographer Sven Barnow is convinced that mindful photography allows us to perceive the photographic process more intensively and that we can use photography as a means of expressing our inner states. Photography thus becomes a means of training concentration on the moment, sharpening our powers of observation and freeing ourselves as much as possible from the usual concepts, distractions and evaluations. Mindful photography can rekindle enthusiasm for photography through the healing process of deceleration. This requires a camera, some time and the desire to enjoy the inner stillness that comes with mindful photography. In this book, Sven Barnow shows you his photographs taken in this way and teaches you how to take authentic and expressive pictures, as free as possible from common judgements.     In this book: - Mindful portrait, street and travel photography - The "Happiness" Project - Mindfully photographing feelings - Exercises in mindful photography - Interviews with various photographers on the topic of "Mindfulness in Photography"

        The Cocoa Cult

        by Guðrún Brjánsdóttir

        A brilliant, toe curling, insightful, humorous snapshot of our time by prizewinning author.   ABOUT THE PLOT   Hjalti suffers from a broken heart. And from anxiety. And from OCD and obsessive thinking. Ever since his girlfriend Anna left him he's been feeling incredible low and hasn't been able to turn his situation around. He hasn't had a good night's sleep in weeks.   When he walks upstairs to complain about some noise, he's invited to take part in a healing ceremony in a so-called cocoa club. Eventhough Hjalti thinks it sounds rather silly, he's so desperate to feel better that he decides to tag along.    The intense pure cocoa from Guatemala has a suprisingly positive effect on Hjalti, and he spontanously decides to join the cocoa club for a healing trip to the most remote part of Iceland. In the breathtakenly beautiful national park between glaciers and sand plains, Hjalti realises that the domineering leader of the cocoa club doesn't think that the rules of the national park apply to them, and the cocoa club members soon fall out with each other as well as the local park rangers.    Hjalti is up for a completely different experience than he was expecting.   In THE COCOA CULT, author Gudrún Brjánsdóttir dissects her own time with dark humour, affection, insigth and toe curling accuracy. The protagonist Hjalti is self-centred, climate guilty, overthinking, OCD striken, anxious, pleasing, passive and conflict-averse - but you still can't help rooting for him. He's just searching for the capricious, flickering love as so many others.

        by Magdalena Saiger

        This poetic and philosophical debut is the story about an estrangement and about two unequal men.»What you don‘t see« accompanies an anonymous narrator who is leaving out of the blue, into the open.The existence of the text itself is a paradox, addressing an audience that was never supposed to exist. Writtenin Nowhere, an untraceable old coal mining area close to the highway. This is where the narrator finds anabandoned storage hall. It seems perfect for his plan to build a paper labyrinth that nobody should ever layeyes on. He is driven by anger and fed up with the art industry, he aims for something bigger: a work ofenormous dimensions, so big that it seems doomed to fail. But he is taking up the challenge with a fierceenthusiasm and the knowledge that perfection can only grow and exist in complete futility. Eventually hemeets his counter figure who he calls Giacometti. Giacometti is a rugged old man from the village that hadto give way for the coal mining. He shows resistance against the course of things, keeping the village awakeby telling its story while staring into the emptiness of the mine. The two men keep a close watch, searchingfor each other, but some distance always remains. Both dwell in and around the mine, becoming allies inthe protection of the place against its discovery by outsiders. But the uncertainty if the presence of one willbecome too much for the other stays. This book is the literary exploration of the question how far one goes.

        by Jochen Schimmang

        »It’s about the chain of associations that’s going on there. Not the dream remnants, could you pleaseforget Freud for a moment.«Rainer Roloff leads a secluded life. If you asked him about his employment history, he would describe himselfas a private scholar. Structure and routine are added to his life thanks to a long-term study on the influenceof sleep on memory, in which he takes part as a test subject. He regularly travels from Cologne to Düsseldorf,even during a pandemic, to record his thoughts after waking up in the laboratory.Roloff, one year older than the Federal Republic of Germany, is an ideal and productive subject, with anelephant’s memory and an awareness of the connection between the collective unconscious and individualmemory. Doctor Meissner, the director of the study, finds »very felicitous« most of what his test subject tellshim, a mixture of historical and personal memories and playfully absurd still-dream logic. But then thememory of the sleep researcher Dr. Meissner himself gets out of balance...Once again, Jochen Schimmang proves to be a master of a nonchalant melancholy, a subtle chronicler ofhistory of which he is the most sympathetic observer.

        Every Team Is Different

        by Holger Koschek, Markus Trbojevic

        Team development is a continuous, complex process. In addition to empathy for the situation and the current needs of the team, it requires a coordinated, step-by-step approach and constant reflection from the team coach. The role of the team coach is hidden behind many names: Team Leader, Project Leader, People Lead, Scrum Master, Agile Coach or Team Member.   "Every Team is Different" serves as a guide for sustainable team development and consists of three parts that build on each other: After clarifying the concept of a team and the basic attitudes and roles of a team coach, team personas illustrate typical behaviour in teams. They support the team coach in assessing the situation in their team and determining the next development step by naming the associated possible fields of action.   The topics in detail: - Dealing with disruptions - Determining the next development step - Determining fields of action - Planning and implementing measures - Reflecting on effectiveness and own attitude - Developing as a team coach - Finding the right tools   The book provides team coaches with valuable suggestions for their daily work and helps them to continuously develop both the team and themselves, while taking good care of themselves.
