[German] - Glück: Was wir wissen und wie wir es erreichen

"In sieben praxisorientierten, dabei wissenschaftlich fundierten Lektionen weist der renommierte Entwicklungspsychologe Bruce Hood seinen Leserinnen und Lesern den Weg zu einem besseren Leben. Denn: Glück kann man lernen, dies hat der Autor in seinem erfolgreichen und beliebten Kurs The Science of Happiness an der Uni Bristol messbar erwiesen. Wer etwas für sein Glück tun will, muss sein Ego verändern, und das ist gar nicht so schwierig, wie es klingt. Man muss nur wissen, wie. Deshalb stehen am Ende einer jeden Lektion Übungen zur praktischen Anwendung, die das Glücksempfinden spürbar steigern. Das Geheimnis des Glücks, so der renommierte Entwicklungspsychologe Bruce Hood, liegt in der richtigen individuellen Balance von Ichbezogenheit und Altruismus. In sieben so einfachen wie lebensverändernden, dabei wissenschaftlich fundierten Lektionen weist er seinen Leserinnen und Lesern den Weg zum Gleichgewicht des Glücks. Letztlich verhält es sich mit dem Glück wie mit der Gesundheit: Wir alle können glücklicher werden und vor allem bleiben, aber nur, solange wir etwas dafür tun."

The Self Illusion

"A fascinating examination of how the latest science shows that our individual concept of a self is in fact an illusion. Most of us believe that we possess a self - an internal individual who resides inside our bodies, making decisions, authoring actions and possessing free will. The feeling that a single, unified, enduring self inhabits the body is compelling and inescapable. But that sovereignty of the self is increasingly under threat from science as our understanding of the brain advances. Bruce Hood is the Director of the Cognitive Development Centre at the University of Bristol. He has appeared regularly on TV and radio including The One Show, Start the Week and Newsnight."
