Book Description
In this technology-driven world, we are overwhelmed by the variety of activities that concern mainly the material side of life. This makes our lives one-sided. To balance this, we need to increase our spiritual quotient and include ethics and morality as necessary components of life. A Stream of Thoughts is about balancing our lives. We need to cultivate habit forms that neutralise the negativity in our lives. The suggestions are in thought forms. Everyone needs to improve the thought stream that always engages our attention and creates a reaction in the outer world. This book is a humble effort to help when our thoughts betray us.
How and why Thoughts Change
Author: Ian M. Evans
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0199380848
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
In How and Why Thoughts Change, Dr. Ian Evans deconstructs the nature of cognitive therapy by examining the cognitive element of CBT, that is, how and why thoughts change behavior and emotion. There are a number of different approaches to cognitive therapy, including the classic Beck approach, the late Albert Ellis's rational-emotive psychotherapy, Young's schema-focused therapy, and newer varieties such as mindfulness training, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and problem-solving strategies. Evans identifies the common principles underlying these methods, attempts to integrate them, and makes suggestions as to how our current cognitive therapies might be improved. He draws on a broad survey of contemporary research on basic cognitive processes and integrates these with therapeutic approaches.

Mrs. Dalloway
Author: Virginia Woolf
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf's fourth novel, offers the reader an impression of a single June day in London in 1923. Clarissa Dalloway, the wife of a Conservative member of parliament, is preparing to give an evening party, while the shell-shocked Septimus Warren Smith hears the birds in Regent's Park chattering in Greek. There seems to be nothing, except perhaps London, to link Clarissa and Septimus. She is middle-aged and prosperous, with a sheltered happy life behind her; Smith is young, poor, and driven to hatred of himself and the whole human race. Yet both share a terror of existence, and sense the pull of death. The world of Mrs Dalloway is evoked in Woolf's famous stream of consciousness style, in a lyrical and haunting language which has made this, from its publication in 1925, one of her most popular novels.

The Healthy Mind
Author: Henry Vyner
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351346407
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
In The Healthy Mind, Dr. Henry M. Vyner presents the findings of twenty-seven years of research spent interviewing Tibetan lamas about their experiences of the mind. The interviews have generated a science of stream of consciousness that demonstrates that the healthy human mind is the egoless mind, given the paradox that the egoless mind has an ego. Vyner presents this science and also shows his readers how to cultivate a healthy mind. The Healthy Mind features extensive interview excerpts, theoretical maps of the egoless and egocentric mind, discussions of the history of science, and thought experiments that unpack the implications of his findings. This is a useful book for all those interested in the dialogue between Buddhism and psychology and in understanding the nature of the healthy mind.

Meditation for the Modern Man
Author: P. K. Sholapurwala
Publisher: Partridge Publishing
ISBN: 1482833476
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
The book gives detailed knowledge about what meditation is and what it is not. It defines the fine nuances and intricacies of the art of meditation and points the reader to the true path of conscious evolution, building a higher self, awakening, self-awareness and self-analysis. It stresses the fact that meditation can lead to transmutation of the self; it can be a form of therapy or cleansing and ultimately leads to living a good life out of free will. The word cognitive meditation is used to explain in detail the cognitive abilities of nonself-awareness and their limitations. It further goes on to explain the perception achieved by self-awareness, or the I. The book has a separate section on meditation techniques and gives a point-by-point method, which can be followed to achieve success. A lot is explained about the obstacles faced during developing this meditation technique, and elaborate examples and solutions are explained to overcome the same. A detailed explanation of the differences between cognitive meditation and other meditation techniques and goals is presented in an easy-to-understand format. Cognitive meditation is more scientific in nature, not scrambled with religion, and hence, the author feels, more suitable for the modern society.

Author: Fabrizio Didonna
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387095934
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 535
Book Description
Over the last two decades, Eastern psychology has provided fertile ground for therapists, as a cornerstone, a component, or an adjunct of their work. In particular, research studies are identifying the Buddhist practice of mindfulness—a non-judgmental self-observation that promotes personal awareness—as a basis for effective interventions for a variety of disorders. The Clinical Handbook of Mindfulness is a clearly written, theory-to-practice guide to this powerful therapeutic approach (and related concepts in meditation, acceptance, and compassion) and its potential for treating a range of frequently encountered psychological problems. Key features of the Handbook: A neurobiological review of how mindfulness works. Strategies for engaging patients in practicing mindfulness. Tools and techniques for assessing mindfulness. Interventions for high-profile conditions, including depression, anxiety, trauma Special chapters on using mindfulness in oncology and chronic pain. Interventions specific to children and elders, Unique applications to inpatient settings. Issues in professional training. Appendix of exercises. The Clinical Handbook of Mindfulness includes the contributions of some of the most important authors and researchers in the field of mindfulness-based interventions. It will have wide appeal among clinicians, researchers, and scholars in mental health, and its potential for application makes it an excellent reference for students and trainees.

The Quality of Thought
Author: David Pitt
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198789904
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
The Quality of Thought develops and defends the thesis that thinking is a kind of experience, characterized by a sui generis phenomenology, and draws out the implications of this thesis for dominant views in philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and metaphysics. The view defended is radically internalist and intensionalist, and goes against received doctrines in philosophy of mind (externalism) and language (extensionalism). The book offers arguments for the thesis, refutations of classic externalism (Putnam and Burge), arguments that standard motivations for direct reference theories of names, indexicals, and demonstratives are not inevitable, and alternative accounts of their (and their conceptual equivalents') semantics. It also addresses outstanding challenges to the phenomenal intentionalist view of thought content, including the existence of unconscious thought, the elusiveness of conceptual phenomenology, the matching content problem, phenomenal compositionality, and the determination of conceptual reference.

A CRITICAL STUDY OF ACTIVISM IN SWADHYAY STREAM WITH REFERENCE TO EDUCATION
Author: Dr. Vanraj Parmar
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0359751377
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Education is the most important foundation of the society. On the base of education society can be structurized, built or rebuilt, molded or altered. Education should not be identified with degrees, labels, diplomas that an individual may attach to his/her sleeves in the course of development of his special skill and personality which help him to fit into a particular role in over all fabrics of the society. If one acquires efficiency in doing a particular job or he possesses adequate knowledge of producing a commodity can be called educated. Education should lead to the development of man in a well manner in the society in which he lives. As man insists on education should be linked with productive labour leading to the development of 'moral', spiritual' and 'physical' growth of man breaking the warriors of the towns and the villages, the poor and the rich. Here reasearcher has tried to study about education from the emerging philosophy of Pandurang Athvale.
