Melani S: Meet Itty Bitty Mouse

Meet Itty Bitty Mouse

»Kurt Prödel gelingt es, direkt neben&nbsp;Schicksalseinschlägen immer wieder kleine&nbsp;Lebensschönheiten aufblitzen zu lassen –&nbsp;dann steht man da wie vom Donner gerührt.«&nbsp;MARIANA LEKY
 
 Die Schule ist vorbei. Marko hat das beste Abi der Stufe, trotzdem&nbsp;reicht es nicht für seinen Traum vom Medizinstudium. Auch die&nbsp;Beziehung mit Claire geht zu Ende. Sie will nur noch raus aus der&nbsp;Kleinstadt, rein ins richtige Leben. Marko hingegen versackt zwischen TikTok und Zukunftsangst im tristen Wohnblock. Bis sein Vater einen Ausweg findet: ein Studium in Ungarn. Bezahlt von allem, was sie&nbsp;haben. Doch statt gemeinsam loszugehen, rennen Marko und Claire&nbsp;in entgegengesetzte Richtungen. Und je weiter sie sich voneinander&nbsp;entfernen, desto mehr verlieren sie die Kontrolle. Bis alles durch die&nbsp;Luft geschleudert wird. Und nichts mehr ist, wie es war.
 Salto 
 erzählt von dem Moment, in dem das Leben beginnen soll, aber alles zerbricht. Ein Roman über Körper, die rebellieren, und darüber, wie man weitermacht. Aber vor allem: eine große Liebesgeschichte.

Bestselling author and renowned psychologist Kelly McGonigal offers a groundbreaking look at joy and how we can embrace it As psychologist Kelly McGonigal reveals in this paradigm-shifting book, joy gives life meaning, sustains hope, and helps us feel close to others. It is the emotion that tells us: life is worth living, good things are possible, and you are not alone. And yet, many people find it difficult to allow themselves to feel, show, or even seek joy. Instead, we worry: Is it selfish to want joy? Is joy even possible when life is hard? Instead of turning to joy as a resource, we try to protect ourselves from the perceived risks of caring too much. What if, instead, you were able to trust the feeling of joy and appreciate the good in your life? And what if you were able to help others experience the benefits that joy provides? Weaving together personal storytelling with insights from psychology, neuroscience, and research conducted around the world, McGonigal offers tangible ways to experience this powerful emotion in everyday life. You’ll discover: <ul><li>How joy works in the brain and body to provide relief</li><li>How to create moments of meaning, connection, and celebration, in challenging times</li><li>Why joy is a form of social support, and how to bring joy to others</li><li>Strategies to counteract joy dampening that keeps us from enjoying good moments</li><li>Tools to navigate common obstacles to joy, such as envy, guilt, anxiety, and grief</li><li>20 “joy experiments” you can begin implementing today</li></ul> Motivating and uplifting, Joy Is a Risk Worth Taking shows that seeking and sharing joy is an act of courage and compassion—and one you can take even when life is difficult.

Joy Is a Risk Worth Taking

Rejection

A timely and urgent argument for preserving the work that connects us in the age of automation

"A compelling case for valuing care as a societal good and as skilled labor."—The Nation

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and labor-saving technologies like self-checkouts and automated factories, the future of work has never been more uncertain, and even jobs requiring high levels of human interaction are no longer safe. The Last Human Job explores the human connections that underlie our work, arguing that what people do for each other in these settings is valuable and worth preserving.

Drawing on in-depth interviews and observations with people in a broad range of professions—from physicians, teachers, and coaches to chaplains, therapists, caregivers, and hairdressers—Allison Pugh develops the concept of "connective labor," a kind of work that relies on empathy, the spontaneity of human contact, and a mutual recognition of each other’s humanity. The threats to connective labor are not only those posed by advances in AI or apps; Pugh demonstrates how profit-driven campaigns imposing industrial logic shrink the time for workers to connect, enforce new priorities of data and metrics, and introduce standardized practices that hinder our ability to truly see each other. She concludes with profiles of organizations where connective labor thrives, offering practical steps for building a social architecture that works.

Vividly illustrating how connective labor enriches the lives of individuals and binds our communities together, The Last Human Job is a compelling argument for us to recognize, value, and protect humane work in an increasingly automated and disconnected world.

His father making coffee in the kitchen. And a handsome young repairman fixing things in the bedroom. Worst of all, Jackson is in the bathroom. None of them will leave. No one else can see them. And they won’t leave him alone.The house isn’t magic only for Harlowe, and as the summer grows hot and thick with tourists, old wounds and fresh secrets—both in and outside its walls—begin to transform him. It’s clear the house is trying to tell him something, and he’s sure it has to do with the mysterious repairman who suddenly seems to be everywhere he looks… But can Harlowe let go of the past long enough to listen?Evoking all the windswept dunes and Fourth of July fireworks of a perfect Cape Cod day, The House of Now and Then asks who you would find, if all your unfinished business was just behind one door.

The House of Now and Then

A revolutionary new paradigm for understanding addiction Why do people with addiction use drugs self-destructively? Why don’t they quit out of self-concern? Why does the rat in the experiment, alone in a cage, press the lever again and again for cocaine—to the point of death? In this pathbreaking book, Hanna Pickard proposes a new paradigm for understanding the puzzle of addiction. For too long, our thinking has been hostage to a false dichotomy: either addiction is a brain disease, or it is a moral failing. Pickard argues that it is neither, and that both models stifle addiction research and fail people who need help. Drawing on her expertise as an academic philosopher and her clinical work in a therapeutic community, Pickard explores the meaning of drugs for people with addiction and the diverse factors that keep them using despite the costs. People use drugs to cope with suffering—but also to self-harm, or even to die. Some identify as “addicts," while others are in denial or struggle with cravings and self-control. Social, cultural, and economic circumstances are crucial to explaining addiction—but brain pathology may also matter. By integrating addiction science with philosophy, clinical practice, and the psychology and voices of people with addiction themselves, Pickard shows why there is no one-size-fits-all theory or ethics of addiction. The result is a heterogeneous and humanistic paradigm for understanding and treating addiction, and a fresh way of thinking about responsibility, blame, and relationships with people who use drugs.

A Philosophy of Addiction

What Would You Do Alone in a Cage with Nothing but Cocaine?

The contributors to this volume examine fear and fear of God as decisive factors in the religious and cultural worlds of ancient Judaism and early Christianity. Drawing on philological, historical, and anthropological perspectives, they investigate how emotions, particularly fear, informed ritual practice, social order, and concepts of the self. Biblical texts, Rabbinic literature, and early Christian writings are read alongside Egyptian and Mesopotamian traditions, thereby situating Jewish and Christian sources in a broader intercultural framework. Epigraphic evidence, such as inscriptions from Aphrodisias, provides further depth and comparative perspective.
 

 Rather than treating fear merely as a sign of submission or religious coercion, the contributors highlight its complex role in shaping modes of communication, group identity, and cultural interaction. Their studies demonstrate how linguistic, literary, and ritual expressions of fear reflect wider processes of negotiation within communities and across traditions. This interdisciplinary approach thus exposes the conceptual networks in which fear was embedded, challenging reductionist models and opening new perspectives on ancient religious life. By bringing together leading experts from multiple disciplines, the volume advances scholarship on emotions, the sociology of religion, and the intercultural history of religions in antiquity, thereby offering essential insights for future research.

In this book, the author uses an ethnographic approach to examine shame dynamics in residential care for young people in Austria. The study explores shame dynamics in the context of pedagogical responses to violence from the perspective of young males, education-related shaming as a pedagogical sanction of girls by care workers, as well as suicidal behaviour as a cause of shame and guilt among care workers and young people in residential care. Drawing on grounded theory, the findings are theorised with reference to epistemic violence and to the role of shame in pedagogical tasks such as the upbringing of young people.
