TIMELESS HEALING THE POWER A life-changing work from the bestselling author of "The Relaxation Response" Herbert Benson, M.D. explores the true intersection and connections between objective sciences and the mystifying power of the human spirit. He tells how affirming beliefs, particularly belief in a higher power, makes a critical contribution to our physical health. In essence, Dr. Benson's messages is that our bodies are "wired for God." A Harvard physician, Dr. Benson documents that when people call upon faith, they activate neurologic pathways for self-healing, and he shows how you, along with a caring physician or healer, can tap into your reservoir of "remembered wellness" to affect and cure 60 to 90 percent of medical complaints. Dr. Benson does not dismiss modern health care. Instead, he proposes practical ways in which patients and the medical community can make faith an integral part of it. Along "Timeless Healing" 's journey of intellectual enlightenment, Dr. Benson creates a wonderful web of personal anecdotes, scientific research, social commentary, and spiritual wisdom that outlines a life-transforming and society-changing blueprint for healing.

在线阅读本书 Resilience is a crucial ingredient–perhaps the crucial ingredient–to a happy, healthy life. More than anything else, it's what determines how high we rise above what threatens to wear us down, from battling an illness, to bolstering a marriage, to carrying on after a national crisis. Everyone needs resilience, and now two expert psychologists share seven proven techniques for enhancing our capacity to weather even the cruelest setbacks. The science in The Resilience Factor takes an extraordinary leap from the research introduced in the bestselling Learned Optimism a decade ago. Just as hundreds of thousands of people were transformed by "flexible optimism," readers of this book will flourish, thanks to their enhanced ability to overcome obstacles of any kind. Karen Reivich and Andrew Shatté are seasoned resilience coaches and, through practical methods and vivid anecdotes, they prove that resilience is not just an ability that we're born with and need to survive, but a skill that anyone can learn and improve in order to thrive. Readers will first complete the Resilience Questionnaire to determine their own innate levels of resilience. Then, the system at the heart of The Resilience Factor will teach them to: • Cast off harsh self-criticisms and negative self-images • Navigate through the fallout of any kind of crisis • Cope with grief and anxiety • Overcome obstacles in relationships, parenting, or on the job • Achieve greater physical health • Bolster optimism, take chances, and embrace life In light of the unprecedented challenges we've recently faced, there’s never been a greater need to boost our resilience. Without resorting to feel-good pap or quick-fix clichés, The Resilience Factor is self-help at its best, destined to become a classic in the genre. From the Hardcover edition.

He provides exercises for self reflection, meditations, and "Time-Ins" to help you rediscover what you really want out of life.

“幸福是什么”是一个人类社会中被广泛讨论的话题，常识和满书架的自助类书籍告诉我们，只要努力学习、工作、积累财富、经营婚姻、养育子女、健康饮食，我们就能拥有幸福的未来。如果有人告诉你这只是关于幸福的错觉，你作何感想？ 这个人就是人称“幸福教授”的哈佛大学社会心理学家吉尔伯特。他摒弃了有关幸福的传统观念，从科学的角度为我们上了一堂新颖生动的幸福课。 作者关于幸福最鲜明的观点是：人类与其他动物的根本区别在于人类可以预见未来，因此，人类也就有了区别于其他所有动物的幸福感；但是，人类对于未来自己的情感预期，往往和实际有着很大的“预测偏差”。书中列举了大量怪诞的实验，引用了大量的心理学和行为科学方面的研究成果，证明了这样一个事实：你以为中大奖可以让你幸福无比，被解雇会让你一蹶不振，但事实上，中奖的幸福感远没有你预期的那样强烈持久，被解雇的失落感也远没有你想象的那么痛苦。我们都有一个与生俱来的“幸福基础值”，生活中的成就与挫折，往往只是短暂地改变我们的幸福水平。很快地，我们就会回归自己的“幸福基础值”。 那么，如何才能撞上幸福呢？吉尔伯特认为，现代社会的人们拥有自主的选择权，有史以来第一次，我们的幸福掌握在自己手中，所以人们应当“智慧地购买”幸福，提升自己的“幸福基础值”。
