Los 100 Secretos de La Gente Feliz: Lo Que Los Cientificos Han Descubierto y Como Puede Aplicarlo a Su Vida
Descriere: Los científicos y académicos llevan años intentando descubrir qué es lo que hace feliz a la gente. Pero sus investigaciones tienden a quedar escondidas en diversas publicaciones académicas y científicas, sin jamás llegar al alcance de la gente común. Por eso, en Los 100 Secretos dela Gente Feliz, el científico social y psicólogo, David Niven, Ph.D., nos presenta de manera clara y comprensiva, lo esencial de los miles de estudios científicos que se han hecho acerca de la felicidad. El autor ilustra con ejemplos y explicaciones, cada una de las cien técnicas, actitudes y costumbres que nos ayudan a transformar una vida mediocre y sin gracia, en una vida llena de felicidad. CREE EN TI MISMO: No importa la edad, el sexo o el origen: creer en sí mismo aumenta la satisfacción en la vida de un 40 por ciento, haciéndonos más felices tanto en la casa como en el trabajo. APAGA LA TELEVISIÓN: Mirar demasiada televisión puede triplicar nuestro antojo de posesiones, lo que reduce nuestro nivel de satisfacción personal de 5 por ciento por cada hora de televisión que miramos. NO OLVIDES DIVERTIRTE: La diversión es una de las cinco claves para llevar una vida satisfecha. La gente que se toma el tiempo de divertirse tiene 20 por ciento más de posibilidades de ser feliz, y 36 por ciento más de posibilidades de sentirse a gusto con su edad y la etapa en la que se encuentra en la vida.

Male Sexuality: Why Women Don't Understand It-And Men Don't Either
At first glance the sexual male seems easy to understand, but beneath the surface lie complexities that disrupt lives and relationships. Respected psychologist Michael Bader takes an honest look at the nuances of male sexuality, addressing issues such as sexual boredom, internet sex, and sexual fantasies that can leave women bewildered and men ashamed. Illustrated with engaging examples from his practice, Male Sexuality gives readers, both women and men, deeper understanding of male behavior. Through increased awareness of the psychology behind the sex, Bader aims to enhance individual self-esteem and improve communication in relationships.
Thomas Gilovich
Thomas Gilovich offers a wise and readable guide to the fallacy of the obvious in everyday life. When can we trust what we believe--that "teams and players have winning streaks," that "flattery works," or that "the more people who agree, the more likely they are to be right"--and when are such beliefs suspect? Thomas Gilovich offers a guide to the fallacy of the obvious in everyday life. Illustrating his points with examples, and supporting them with the latest research findings, he documents the cognitive, social, and motivational processes that distort our thoughts, beliefs, judgments and decisions. In a rapidly changing world, the biases and stereotypes that help us process an overload of complex information inevitably distort what we would like to believe is reality. Awareness of our propensity to make these systematic errors, Gilovich argues, is the first step to more effective analysis and action.
Melanie Klein
This book provides a thorough introduction to the stimulating and controversial ideas of the woman who charted the field of child analysis--Melanie Klein. Freud was surprisingly silent on the "dim and shadowy era" of earliest infancy. It was Melanie Klein, one of Freud's most innovative followers, who revolutionized child analysis with her "play technique," illuminating the baby's most primitive fantasies and conflicts. Now, at last, the most important of Klein's writings are together in one volume, brilliantly edited and introduced by one of Britain's best known feminist thinkers. The Selected Melanie Klein feature the significant ideas of the woman who took the field of child analysis by storm, including her ideas on treatment of psychotics, revisions of Freud's ideas on female sexuality, the discovery of the direct connection between normal ego development and psychosis, and the important role fantasy plays in daily life.
