La pereza psicoespiritual : eneatipo nueve (9788416145508)

Pereza, tercer volumen de la obra Psicología de los Eneatipos, nos habla de la inercia psicoespiritual y de la resistencia al cambio en la personalidad indolente, que otrora fue conocida por los Padres del Desierto como acidia. Una vez más, el doctor Claudio Naranjo ha dirigido a un amplio equipo de colaboradores del Eneatipo 9, en una investigación inédita y profunda sobre los 27 caracteres que describe la aplicación del eneagrama a la personalidad. Cada uno de los nueve libros que componen la obra presenta una extensa descripción de los subtipos del eneagrama: Conservación, Sexual y Social, de modo que por primera vez nos encontramos ante una extensa fuente de información sobre aspectos hasta ahora prácticamente desconocidos de cada carácter: sus equivalencias en el mundo académico, los contrastes entre los diversos subtipos, rasgos más destacados, estrategia interpersonal e ideas irracionales asociadas, biografías prototípicas, personajes célebres, problemas en el desarrollo del amo...

The Channel : The Remarkable Men and Women Who Made It the Most Fascinating Waterway in the World (9781474607919)

A bulwark against invasion, a conduit for exchange and a challenge to be conquered, the English Channel has always been many things to many people. Today it's the busiest shipping lane in the world and hosts more than 30 million passenger crossings every year but this sliver of choppy brine, just 21 miles wide at its narrowest point, represents much more than a conductor of goods and people. Criss-crossing the Channel - not to mention regularly throwing himself into it for a bracing swim - Charlie Connelly collects its stories and brings them vividly to life, from tailing Oscar Wilde's shadow through the dark streets of Dieppe to unearthing Britain's first beauty pageant at the end of Folkestone pier (it was won by a bloke called Wally). We learn that Louis Bleriot was actually a terrible pilot, the tragic fate of the first successful Channel swimmer, and that if a man with a buttered head and pigs' bladders attached to his trousers hadn't fought off an attack ...

Am 26. August 1939 wurde der promovierte Theologe und Germanist Konrad Jarausch, Studienrat an einem Magdeburger Gymnasium, zur Wehrmacht einberufen.

Mental Disorder : Anthropological Insights (9781442635333)
