When Being Good Is Bad for You

When Being Good Is Bad for You

Lars Halse Kneppe

Being good at things isn’t something we are. It’s something we want to be or hope to become. For many people, being good at stuff is a life project. Because no matter how much we achieve or experience, we never feel good, or at least never good enough. Not as long as we can get even better and constantly seek out new areas for improvement. When being good at things becomes so important that it affects our wellbeing and the way we live – that means it’s starting to become unhealthy. The price we pay for always being able to become a slightly better version of ourselves is that we never feel good enough. Young people today are probably the generation most affected by this. No other generation has been so capable and high-achieving while still feeling so inadequate. There’s nothing wrong with being good as long as it doesn’t reach unhealthy levels. Even so, many young people today seem to be achieving everything and look totally fantastic but still feel worthless on the inside and ugly on the outside. The pressure and stress feel like running to catch a train that has already left the station. In this book Lars Halse Kneppe talks about some of the experiences and ideas he has shared with all the young people who are too good for their own good that he has met in his job as psychologist at sixth-form colleges in Oslo. He offers advice to parents about how they can calm stressed young people – and themselves as well: about how we can help young people to understand that they are good enough, and how they can resist the enormous pressure to constantly become better.

Out of the Crisis

Marte Spurkland

The past year has given us a totally new insight into and understanding of what a social crisis is. But what does a cataclysmic crisis look like to people who have experienced it close up – when everything they have falls apart and they have to rebuild their entire life from scratch? The mother who had to come to terms with her daughter’s death at the hands of terrorists and the mother who had to cope with the fact that her son was a terrorist; the wife who suddenly discovered that her husband had condemned their family to a life of poverty through online gambling; the man who lost all use of his limbs and was written off by medical science until his wife found out that he was capable of communicating, albeit slowly and using just one finger; the man who wrote off the world and locked himself into his man-cave – for good. With warm empathy and wisdom, award-winning journalist and author Marte Spurkland offers us a series of stories about collapse and apparent hopelessness, but also about the courage and unknown strength that lives in all of us.

All over the world we’re hearing about burn out and about people who are in danger of suffering that fate. Everyone from senior executives to nurses, doctors to teachers, journalists to artists – yes, even yoga teachers – is being diagnosed with burn out.

Selina Barker gives you a well-stocked toolkit and an instruction manual for the tools you’ll need to feel empowered, calm and focused, every single working day – no matter how hectic things get. A practical six-step guide for people who have hit the wall – or are afraid they might.

Winter Swimming

Cecilie Thunem-Saanum

Why are more and more people choosing to submerge themselves in ice-cold water in midwinter? To don mittens and bobble hats and feel chunks of ice sloshing against their naked flesh? The author, who’s in her eight year of year-round bathing, tells you what you need to know before, during and after winter bathing, and uses science and her own experience to answer questions like: Is it safe? Can anyone go for a dip when it is freezing cold? What happens inside your body? In Winter Bathing, Cecilie Thunem-Saanum invites you to join her in the open channels between the ice when the temperatures are well below freezing and long after the frost has taken hold. In the water, an experience of profound peace, a clarified mind and great wellbeing await you. On land, an energy boost, a rush of joy and a sense of achievement is the award – along with a towel and dry clothes.

Viruses on the Loose

Viruses on the Loose

Eystein Hellstrøm Hoddevik

What is a virus? Even experienced microbiologists need to stop and think before answering this simple question. Viruses are tiny. The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has a width of no more than one hundred nanometers. Ten thousand such viruses lined up after each other will barely have the width of a pinhead. But an invisible enemy like this can bring a whole world to its knees, just as it did in spring 2020, with the COVID-19 pandemic. Through carefully selected stories, the author shows you what a virus is, what it consists of, how it is transmitted and how it produces disease. Viruses and humans have coexisted forever, so this journey covers biological evolution, our own bodies, historical events, diagnostics, global politics, genetic material, ethics and biological warfare. The book is also about vaccines, one of our most important weapons in the war against viruses. The making of vaccines is in itself a science which is based upon our knowledge of how viruses are constructed and cause disease. Viruses are bred to spread and don’t hesitate to set off on intercontinental journeys, like the travel-loving stowaways they are. In this book, you’ll get to know different kinds of viruses: some of the most common, some that are extremely cunning and some that are so dangerous their fatality rate is close to 100%. Viruses cause contagion by travelling, just as we do, but their journey doesn’t stop there. The way in which they produce disease inside us can also be viewed as a microscopic travelogue. We shall therefore follow some viruses as they travel through our bodies to reach the cells they both hijack and harm. If you are prepared to face what fear of viruses you might have, you’ll discover that knowledge of viruses is extremely helpful. In certain situations, it may help you survive and avoid diseases like warts, cold sores, shingles, blindness and even cancer.

Living in Tune with Mother Earth

Living in Tune with Mother Earth

Grethe Nordhelle / Ujagar Singh Sakhi

Humans are part of nature. We are utterly reliant on it. If we distance ourselves too much from its terms and premises, we create an imbalance – in nature, in society and, not least, in ourselves as individuals. Living in Tune with Mother Earth aims to serve as a supplement – and counterweight – to knowledge creation in our specialised society. The more fragmented society becomes, the greater the need for more people to be concerned about integral thinking and knowledge. Integral knowledge creation is a scarce commodity in modern society, the author claims. This is where integral therapy can make a vital contribution, by looking at the process of human development in its entirety – physical, psychological, environmental and spiritual. The book aims to raise people’s awareness of the genuine need to understand themselves as individuals, in relation to themselves, nature, the family, society and the entire universe. It’s about creating and maintaining a natural balance between the internal and the environment. How can we function in an integral way – physically, psychologically and spiritually – in relation to our immediate environment and wider society? And what hinders us at all these levels? The knowledge offered in this book can be used to both repair and protect. Living in Tune with Mother Earth is anchored in a value system that views humans as having a particular place in the natural order, just as plants and animals do. Because humans have the potential for far-reaching development – not just in positive but also negative directions – we are at risk of becoming remote from our positive, harmonious rhythm, growth and development. If we breach the principles of nature in the way we live, we risk creating physical and psychological discord. The one thing that can bring us peace, within us, between us, in relation to elements in nature with which we come into contact and in wider society, is an integral understanding of what it means to be human – and an integral practice in our interaction with our environment.

All the Songs are About You

Sondre Lerche

All the Songs are About You consists of enthusiastic and personal essays about music, some of them reaching as far back as into childhood days in Bergen, and the young Lerche´s almost self-effacing obsession for the band a-ha and vocalist Morten Harket. In other texts he writes about other heroes like Prefab Sprout, Fiona Apple and Milton Nascimento. There is also room for concert experiences from the United States, with amongst others St. Vincent, Beyoncé and Kygo. And there is also long distance running, in Los Angeles, with ambient in his ears. According to Lerche there are no guilty pleasures in music. There is only pleasure. And just as important as the music we know and love are the more coinsidential musical meetings, those who take us well outside our comfort zone. Music that some might find useless can have powerful meaning for your neighbour - or millions of people. The texts of this book embrace that fact.
