[German] - Die wichtigste Regel für ein selbstbestimmtes Leben: Wie man sich davon frei macht, was andere von einem denken

"Was wohl die anderen denken? »FOPO«, die »Fear Of People's Opinions«, kennt vermutlich jeder: Diese Angst vor dem Urteil anderer hält uns davon ab, Risiken einzugehen oder Neues zu wagen – lieber gehen wir auf Nummer Sicher und machen uns klein. Die Folge: Wir tauschen Authentizität gegen Anerkennung ein und vergessen darüber unsere eigenen Träume. Wie können wir uns davon befreien und zu unserer eigenen Stärke zurückfinden? Der renommierte Psychologe Michael Gervais zeigt, wie wir FOPO überwinden, indem wir uns auf das konzentrieren, was wir kontrollieren können: unsere Gedanken, Worte und Handlungen. Gervais enthüllt die Methoden und Praktiken, die dafür notwendig sind – dieselben bewährten, mentalen Fähigkeiten, die er bereits Sportstars, NFL-Teams, Musikern, Fortune 100-Unternehmen oder Führungskräften wie Microsofts CEO Satya Nadella vermittelt hat. Er erklärt, wie wir konstruktiv mit Herausforderungen und Feedback umgehen können, ohne uns dauernd zu vergleichen. Ein inspirierender Ratgeber für ein eigenständiges Leben – frei von der Meinung anderer. Es ist Zeit, die Kontrolle zurückzugewinnen und das Leben nach unseren eigenen Regeln zu spielen!"

The Mindfulness and Meditation Summit: Volume 2: Inspiring Talks with Worldwide Leaders in the Field of Mindfulness and Meditation

"Five acclaimed teachers and visionaries show us how mindfulness practice can boost our performance and creativity.   What, exactly, is mindfulness? It's a 'baseline' of awareness and non-resistance that you can build on the cellular level.   Why practice it? Through mindfulness meditation, you rewire your neural pathways to calm yourself in any situation, better manage your emotions, amplify your attention and presence, gain insight into 'unsolvable' problems, make wiser decisions, and improve all of your relationships.   What's more, all of these shifts create a ripple effect that benefits your family, friends, workplace, and community.   On Mindfulness and Meditation: Volume Two, you're invited to learn with these inspiring presenters:   Shinzen Young—'How Science Is Relevant to Your Meditation Practice' Bonus meditation: “Untangle and Be Free”   Daniel Goleman, PhD—'Altered Traits: The Benefits of Mindfulness for Leadership and Emotional Intelligence'   Vidyamala Burch—'Free Your Mind When Your Body Hurts: An Introduction to Mindfulness-Based Pain Management' Bonus meditation: 'A Guided Breath-Based Body Scan to Soften Resistance to Pain'   Alanis Morissette—'Taking a Beautiful Seat and Trusting Life'   Michael Gervais, PhD—'Meet Them Where They Sweat: Mindfulness in High Performance Sports Psychology'   Note: This program is a compilation of presentations that were originally offered via the Internet, so some sound inconsistencies may be present. These talks were presented at The Mindfulness and Meditation Summit, hosted in 2018 by Sounds True, and may be listened to in any sequence.  "
