Are You Proud of Me, Dad?

Tormod Huseby

It is possible to free oneself from past humiliation, neglect and abuse, and to be rid of shame and embrace all aspects of oneself. Through twelve personal stories from the therapist’s office, psychiatrist Tormod Huseby shows us how to break free of a life restricted by self-criticism, perfectionism and unfortunate strategies in order to be loved and understood, and to regain one’s freedom and love for life. The fear of being exposed as a bad person and feelings of abandonment, anxiety and depression are common among many people who were rejected or neglected as children. Tormod Huseby also shows us why he thinks that social culture fails us by not recognising our deep need for relationships and closeness.

Faded Velvet in London

Øivind Bratberg

The Brits are out of the EU, done with the pandemic and ready to face the future. But can the same be said of London? The capital is in the middle of an ongoing debate about what the United Kingdom should be, in its own eyes and in the eyes of the world. The city is politically red and open to Europe in an England where the winds are blowing in the opposite direction. At the same time, it is the seat of the proudest traditions and the institutions on which the new United Kingdom is to rely. Øivind Bratberg looks at champagne socialism and culture war, life during the pandemic and the conflict over the monarchy and BBC in this non-fiction book about London.

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.

Imprisoned

Andreas Ribe-Nyhus

Andreas lives a peaceful life as an academic and philosopher. One winter’s night his life suddenly changes direction completely. A few days later he is imprisoned, convicted for murder. What happened? Why did it happen? Through his experiences we are invited to imagine what it is like to be locked up in a cell and left all alone with one’s pain. In Imprisoned we get to know prisons from the point of view of the prisoner, and we get an insight into an institution which appears to be neither humane or caring, but rather hostile and destructive. It’s also a deeply personal story about evil, relations, and hope. How can someone live with themselves after ending someone’s life? Is there a possible way to return to oneself, and to society? Imprisoned is a book about Andreas’s encounter with the harsh and foreign reality of prisons and his long journey through self-righteousness, bitterness, acknowledgment, remorse, and reconciliation.

Sigrid Elsrud

Are you planning your next holiday on the railways of Central Europe, Scandinavia or Norway? Then this is the book for you! The Joy of Rail Travel gives a practical introduction to how trains could easily be the mode of transport for your next holiday. The book is full of practical tips and inspiring route suggestions. Travelling by train on holiday is more popular than ever before. One might think this is due to marketing or political decisions, but in fact it is quite the opposite. The trend has come from lower down, from people who have unfolded their maps and planned trips along the rails—and who keep on doing it.

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.

Big bad wolf

Tor Åge Bringsværd

Varg, Skrubb, Gråbein, Tasse, Skrogg, Lupus… the wolf has since immemorial times called for fear and fascination, but also respect and admiration. From Fenrir, Romulus and Remus, Mowgli and the story about the three little pigs, it has pattered through the stories humans have told each other, from thousands of years ago and all the way up to today’s heated debates about hunting predators. Sometimes the wolf is a friend and helper, sometimes it is a scary enemy. Tor Åge Bringsværd takes us on a cultural-historical journey through the wolf’s footprints which spans from the five thousand year old Gilgamesh-epic to Walt Disney, from Finnmarksvidda to Sahara and the Japanese indigenous Aino-people who are said to originate from the wolves, to the Canadian Nootka-tribe’s wolf totems. Norwegian sagas and folklore, the brothers Grimm’s Little Red Riding Hood, Middle-Europe’s werewolf stories and Aesop’s fables – the wolf is a part of them all, like an eternal shadow at the edge of the forest. Big Bad Wolf is part of series wherein Tor Åge Bringsvær continues the stories about animals in myths, fairytales, legends and folklore. The other titles in the series are Giddy-Up, Woof and Reynard, as well as the collection Sacred Animals.

He speaks honestly about insecurity, political conflict and how his personal experiences have shaped him as a leader. Through the Crisis is the story of a recent point in time from someone whose job it was to help shape it.
