Category: Popular Psychology

Indigo Project psychologist Mary Hoang will teach you how to face your fears and anxieties and make meaning from loss and pain, to find your true purpose, meaning, and a life that resonates for you. Hidden in the folds of human life are the stories that most of us want to keep in the dark. The shit sto rms, our anxieties, the failed relationships, our sadness, our fears of the future, our psychological pain. Darkness is Golden is a commentary on the universal experience of 'darkness' that weighs on us all, and how those shadows can hold the answers we seek. It's an insightful guide on how to embrace the complexity of the mind when navigating emotions and relationships. Exploring themes of meaning, death, disconnection, vulnerability, forgiveness, identity and what it means to be human, Darkness is Golden is a gripping case for the strength that we all hold, the payoffs of going 'within' and the light that we hide in our shadows. Drawing on her years of psychological and therapeutic expertise, Mary Hoang will teach you how the tools of modern psychology, combined with age-old wisdom, provide you with the alchemy to turn darkness into gold; how to traverse, hopscotch, and shimmy with the web of your secrets, stories, and skeletons - to render purpose, meaning, and a life that resonates for you.   ...Show more

How to Live. What to Do - Life Lessons from Literature by Josh Cohen

$32.99 AUD

$35.00 (5% off)
Available Stock:

Category: Popular Psychology

What can Alice in Wonderland teach us about childhood? Could reading Conversations with Friends guide us through first love? Does Esther Greenwood's glittering success and subsequent collapse in The Bell Jar help us understand ambition? And, finally, what can we learn about death from Tolstoy? Literatur e matters. Not only does it provide escapism and entertainment, but it also holds a mirror up to our lives to show us aspects of ourselves we may not have seen or understood. From jealousy to grief, fierce love to deep hatred, our inner lives become both stranger and more familiar when we explore them through fiction. Josh Cohen, a psychoanalyst and Professor of Modern Literary Theory, delves deep into the inner lives of the most memorable and vivid characters in literature. His analysis of figures such as Jay Gatsby and Mrs Dalloway offers insights into the greatest questions about the human experience, ones that we can all learn from. He walks us through the different stages of existence, from childhood to old age, showing that literature is much more than a refuge from the banality and rigour of everyday life - through the experiences of its characters, it can show us ways to be wiser, more open and more self-aware. ...Show more

Schadenfreude - The Joy of Another's Misfortune by Tiffany Watt Smith

$23.99 AUD

$24.99 (4% off)
Available Stock:
2

Category: Popular Psychology | Series: Wellcome Ser.

An entertaining and insightful exploration of schadenfreude: the deliciously dark and complex joy we've all felt, from time to time, at news of others' misfortunes. You might feel schadenfreude when... the boss calls himself "Head of Pubic Services" on an important letter. a cool guy swings back on his chair, and it tips over. a Celebrity Vegan is caught in the cheese aisle. an aggressive driver cuts you off - and then gets pulled over. your co-worker heats up fish in the microwave, then gets food poisoning. an urban unicyclist almost collides with a parked car. someone cuts the line for the ATM - and then it swallows their card. your effortlessly attractive friend gets dumped.   We all know the pleasure felt at someone else's misfortune. The Germans named this furtive delight in another's failure schadenfreude (from schaden damage, and freude, joy), and it has perplexed philosophers and psychologists for centuries. Why can it be so satisfying to witness another's distress? And what, if anything, should we do about it?   Schadenfreude illuminates this hidden emotion, inviting readers to reflect on its pleasures, and how we use other people's miseries to feel better about ourselves. Written in an exploratory, evocative form, it weaves examples from literature, philosophy, film, and music together with personal observation and historical and cultural analysis. And in today's world of polarized politics, twitter trolls and "sidebars of shame," it couldn't be timelier.   Engaging, insightful, and entertaining, Schadenfreude makes the case for thinking afresh about the role this much-maligned emotion plays in our lives -- perhaps even embracing it.   ...Show more
