See aitab m?ista, miks taolist k?itumist esineb ja mida teha, et seda v?ltida. Raamatus kasutatakse positiivset l?henemist, mille pikaajaline eesm?rk on p?siv „hea tuju”, ja vaadatakse, kuidas edukalt lahendada olukordi, mis m?juvad koormavalt ka k?ige parema iseloomuga inimestele. - Sisaldab viha ja ?rrituvuse tekke ja olemuse selgitust - Sisaldab t?ielikku eneseabiprogrammi ja vaatluslehti - P?hineb kliiniliselt l?biproovitud kognitiivse teraapia v?tetel Dr William Davies on tegutsev diplomeeritud kliiniline ps?hholoog, Ps?hhoteraapia Assotsiatsiooni teadusdirektor.

Why are we so interested in measuring happiness? What was a Buddhist monk doing at the 2014 World Economic Forum in Davos lecturing the world’s leaders on mindfulness? Why do many successful corporations have a ‘chief happiness officer’? What can the chemical composition of your brain tell a potential employer about you? In the past decade, governments and corporations have become increasingly interested in measuring the way people feel: ‘the Happiness index’, ‘Gross National Happiness’, ‘well-being’ and positive psychology have come to dominate the way we live our lives. As a result, our emotions have become a new resource to be bought and sold. In a fascinating investigation combining history, science and ideas, William Davies shows how well-being influences all aspects of our lives: business, finance, marketing and smart technology. This book will make you rethink everything from the way you work, the power of the ‘Nudge’, the ever-expanding definitions of depression, and the commercialization of your most private feelings. The Happiness Industry is a shocking and brilliantly argued warning about the new religion of the age: our emotions.

Since 2016, the UK has been in a crisis of its own making: but this is not the fault of Brexit but of a larger problem of our politics. The status of political parties, the mainstream media, public experts and officials have all been disrupted. Along the way, there have been shocking and exhilarating events: the unforeseen 2017 election result, the horrific details of Grenfell Tower and the Windrush scandal, the sudden rise and fall of the Brexit Party.As the 'mainstream’ of politics and media has come under attack, the basic norms of public life have been thrown into question. This Is Not Normal takes stock of a historical moment that no longer recognises itself. Davies tells a story of the apparently chaotic and irrational events, and extracts their underlying logic and long-term causes. What we are seeing is the effects of the 2008 financial crash, the failure of the British neoliberal project, the dying of Empire, and the impact of the changes that technology and communications have had on the idea of the public sphere as well as the power of information. This is an essential book for anyone who wants to make sense of this current moment.
