50 BENEFITS OF MAKING IT PAST 50

Niels Christian Geelmuyden

Naturally, turning 50 comes with certain disadvantages. The trouble is that these issues tend to be only too familiar. It is rare for the focus to be on all that improves with increasing age. What if growing older is much nicer than people believe? If entering the 50s is much better than being young? What if the best period in your life is waiting for you? If so, it counts as an exceptionally well kept secret. Until now, that is. Niels Chr. Geelmuyden, himself in his 50s, writes with humour and warmth, based on research and his own and others' experiences, about what we can look forward to once we have made it past 50.

Else sees a shrink

Else Kåss Furuseth

One day, Else Kåss Furuseth receives a phone call from her grandmother. Else's brother Lars Kristian hasn't come for supper. As he always does. At the door to his flat, Else finds a pile of newspapers. No response from inside. She calls the police and tells them that her brother is dead. Her Condolances is based on Else Kåss Furuseth's take on one of the great taboos of our time: suicide. Against the odds, her approach made the performance an amusing and touching experience, a tale of a moving, timeless act and a blackly humorous exploration of our relationship to death. In It is the smart ones who die, Kåss Furuseth investigates more deeply the mystery surrounding her brother Lars Kristian. Why did he make these decisions? A diary note for the day after his self-inflicted death shows that he had planned to spend seven hours watching a film about the extermination of the Jews. A few days after Lars Kristian's death, Else said to her father: “If I knew I had to watch that documentary, I‘d have killed myself, too.” Smiling, her father replied: “Me too. But you mustn't say this to anyone else. It's the kind of joke no one gets, except the two of us.”

SHAME

SHAME

Helene Flood Aakvaag

A book about feeling shame, why it arises and what it does to usShame might make you feel uneasy, but keep in mind that shame is a universal state of mind, a natural part of being human. It is a positively useful feeling and it has been evolving over thousands of years, precisely because we have been able to make good use of it. Everyone has experienced it. Shame is often reviled and the public discussion tends to focus on how to get rid of shame or to overcome it. Some people argue that shame is a symptom of mental illness, which might sometimes be true. But just as we don’t want to reject fear from our range of feelings, even though it can be deeply troubling, so we should accept that shame has its good side. A very readable book explaining shame in terms of popular psychology: the writing is witty but founded on good research, with many examples of well-known as well as personal cases. ‘Aakvaag aims for a wide audience. She uses the experience of herself and others to illustrate academic points, and her voice is factual, warm and mildly humoristic. In this way the succeeds with writing the type of scientific but still easily read prose that the Americans do so well, but that we also lately have been seeing more of in Norway. Shaming is dangerously effective. And because of that a subject that anyone who is interested in social issues should know something about. This well written introduction by Aakvaag is a good place to start.’ KLASSEKAMPEN

It resulted in the biggest licensing agreement in the Norwegian medical history. Her quest towards more knowledge of autoimmune diseases forms the framework for a popular-science journey, hunting for the solution to a mystery no one has managed to solve yet: the mystery of autoimmunity.FULL ENGLISH TRANSLATION AVAILABLE.
