Goodbye, Depression

Goodbye, Depression

Kristian Hall

Goodbye, Depression is a warm and practical book about depression for those who want to help. Kristian Hall was depressed for ten years; he never thought he would get better and therefore rejected all offers of help. But through therapy, self-effort and friends and family who never gave up, he finally got rid of his depression completely. Now he’s written a book for anyone who wants to help and support someone with depression. Depression is really like standing still in the dark, the author says. To get out of the depression you need the opposite of standing still, namely movement. Take the hand of the diagnosed person and go for a literally healing walk, out of the disorder and into a better life! This book has been professionally quality-assured by psychologist Knut-Petter Sætre Langlo.

Philosophical First Aid Kit

Øyvind Kvalnes

The public discussion is at times polarized and the algorithms point us toward people that are more or less just like us. The effect of this is that we have less practice conversating with those who think, talk, and behave differently from us. At the same time, we are facing great challenges that we are supposed to solve together. Philosopher Øyvind Kvalnes has written Philosophical First Aid Kit as a helper, so that we are better equipped to cooperate when it comes to solving great issues together. It gives us inspiration to start conversations across barriers and get to know strangers and their perspective. The content of this book can help loosening up in the sharp fronts and conflict between people, so that small and great cooperation miracles can happen.

What Do You Feel Now?

Cecilie Benneche

Our emotions are natural, yet we humans have long tended to think and manage ourselves away from them. It seems far from natural to us to experience what we’re actually feeling – or grasp who our emotions are directed at. In this book, you’ll learn to clear away some of the obstacles blocking your emotions and allow your feelings to ‘run off’ on their own, without you having to think about them so much. It will free up your strength and create inner peace.

Map of Loneliness

Map of Loneliness

Hilde Østby

In March 2020 the world closed down and stayed completely or partly closed for two and a half years. Most arenas where humans go for companionship, such as offices and concerts, weddings and funerals, disappeared or were decimated overnight. It’s as if the whole world has taken part in a huge experiment in loneliness, according to author Hilde Østby. The result of this experiment is worth dwelling on, as it’s not an easy diagnosis to just brush off. Research shows that loneliness, if it is chronic, is more dangerous for our health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day. In Map of Loneliness Hilde Østby approaches the subject on a personal, philosophical and journalistic level in order to get to grips with loneliness – one of our most enigmatic and under-communicated public health challenges. She shows us what loneliness does to us and asks where it comes from. That is a question which can be answered both medically and existentially. Maybe the mechanisms which drive us apart could later bring us back together? In that case loneliness is something we must solve as a community, through community, and for the community.

The Art of Reading Body Language

Vidar Hansen / Siri Lill Mannes

Vidar Hansen er tidligere politimann og etterforsker, og omtales som Norges svar på Sherlock Holmes. De kriminelle nektet avhør med ham fordi de mente han kunne lese tanker, han har også fått Politiprisen for å ha pågrepet flest kriminelle i Norge. Han har en forbløffende evne til å tyde menneskers kroppsspråk og ubevisste signaler. Her forteller han fascinerende historier om hvordan kroppsspråket røper oss, som hvordan han vet hvem som kaster en flaske mot politibilen uten å ha sett hvem som gjorde det, hvordan han avslører løgn eller hva politikere og andre kjente personer forteller med kroppsspråket. Kroppsspråk har endret både sportsresultater, politikk og historiens gang. Få mennesker er bevisst på sitt eget kroppsspråk, og enda færre klarer å styre det. Kroppsholdninger, bevegelser, stemmebruk og ansiktsuttrykk avslører oss. Visste du for eksempel at entusiastisk kroppsspråk kan bidra til suksess? Jo tydeligere du uttrykker begeistring og glede, jo mer smitter det over på andre. Med denne boka kan du forstå andre bedre og forbedre din egen kommunikasjon.

Momlife

Sara Emilie Tandberg

Momlife is a book about what Sara Emilie has her greatest passion for: Making women better equipped to trust their own instincts when it comes to motherhood and just be happy about themselves, their bodies and their own efforts.

This is what toddler mom and influencer Sara Emilie Tandberg is writing about in this funny, inspiring, and educational book, Momlife. In the book, body positive Sara Emilie share her experiences though her first years as a mother in a real, down to earth, and unpretentious way - the way we know her from social media, where she is known as the biggest “momstagrammer” with her account @saraaemiliee. Though her experiences, and facts from professionals, she aims to help young mothers to lower their shoulders and firmly believe that "Yes, I am good enough." Being a mother is the greatest joy in life, but also the greatest challenge, says Sara Emilie.

Anne Berit Grostad

But first and foremost, it teaches you less obvious ways of saving. About finding the balance between saving, consumption, sustainability and quality of life.

Becoming a Mother

Oda Weider-Krog

“When a child is born, a mother is also born. Into a brand new day-to-day, a whole new life. She’s thrown into an existence one cannot prepare for in advance. It’s as if a line is put down, a line separating the before and the now.” Becoming a Mother is a small book about the biggest experience in the world. Oda Weider-Krog writes about the all-consuming time during the child’s first year, the demanding and the emotional, and the intoxicating feeling of getting to know your child. How many hours does a child need to be breastfed? Are there other mothers out there longing for some alone time and sleep? With warmth and humour she writes about the first months as a new mother, about breastfeeding and blocked milk ducts, changing diapers and endless nights awake, about loneliness, longing and doubt, falling in love and bottomless love – all these precious moments and the chaotic feelings that arrive together when you become a mother.
