The School of Life

Inge Eidsvåg

Is Norway a better society to live in today than in the 1950s? Inge Eidsvåg believes it is – on the whole things have gone in the right direction, at least from the point of view of material standards of living. At the same time, we are in the process of sawing off the branch we’re sitting on. Eidsvåg’s generation is the first to have become aware of the climate crisis – and they are the last ones who will escape its impact. That is the backdrop to this report from the school of life, the school that may make us a bit wiser but ultimately takes the lives of all its students. The School of Life is Inge Eidsvåg’s journey from the realm of childhood to the narrow paths of old age, and a settling of accounts with Norwegian society, from the 1950s to the present day.

All of this is conveyed by the author in a vivid and inspiring way. *****TØNSBERGS BLADJareg has written an original and rewarding travelogue.

Psychology at Work

Carina Carl / Rebekka Egeland

Management is psychology, claim psychologists Carina Carl and Rebekka Egeland. You will always bring your personality with you into your management role and that is where psychology gets interesting – because we humans aren’t as rational as we’d like to think. Every new situation is unique, just as every human being is unique and everyone’s environment is constantly changing. The realisation that times may change but humans don’t mean that everybody should know something about how our brains work, what primary and secondary emotions are, and how relationships affect all communications and every management style. Early relationships are also significant when it comes to how you talk to yourself and manage yourself. And you must manage yourself before you can manage others. Psychology at Work places less importance on the theories and models of organisational psychology than on the development of personality, relationships, communication, life choices and values. In that respect, the book is just as interesting for anybody with a job and a workplace to go to as for managers. Carina Carl is a psychologist working on many platmorms, amongst them the Noia podcast. Rebekka Egeland was Young Manager of the Year in 2018. The two of them are passionately dedicated to explaining psychology to ordinary people in an easy-to-grasp way and both have written several books. This is the second book they have written together. They each run their own practices.

Around the World in 80 Words

Helene Uri

The Norwegian language contains words from all over the world! Some have travelled only a short distance, crossing the border from Sweden or heading north from Germany. Others have been on much longer journeys, all the way from South America, Africa or Asia. This is a book about the words that have settled in Norway, becoming part of our language. Children will find words they know laid out on beautifully illustrated maps, they’ll go on journeys by land and sea, and they’ll learn that our language makes the world both smaller and richer. A gorgeous, colourful book that you’ll want to keep on display in the children’s room.

Kintsugi

Tor Åge Bringsværd

Something beautiful is broken, but you hope to repair it in such a way that it can become even more beautiful than before it shattered. This is what happens in the novel Kintsugi too. Through a series of stories, we learn of a possible reconciliation between settlers and indigenous people. Love conquers all, as they say – religion, skin colour, race. But can we love creatures that belong to a totally different species? Can beings with tails be anything other than animals? Reviews: Language is what makes us human. But it also makes us capable of creating nonhumans. Bringsværd has a good grip on the paradoxes. Kintsugi is an ambitious and in terms of form complex novel, kicking hard at the moralistic apparatus.KLASSEKAMPEN Bringsværd has an idea that things are possible. But that does not take away his ability of seeing the realities we are facing on this planet of ours, with sharp vision. Imagination is the ability to take your thoughts far and wide, but also about deep empathy. If we have the will, we can imagine almost anything. Also when it comes to the mutilation we put upon lives other than our own.MORGENBLADET
