Matthew Johnstone Boeken

Jeder kennt jemanden, der irgendwann einmal an einer Depression gelitten hat oder noch leidet – am „schwarzen Hund“, wie sie in diesem Büchlein heißt. Matthew Johnstone war selbst über viele Jahre betroffen, seine Frau Ainsley hat ihn in dieser Zeit begleitet und unterstützt. „Mit dem schwarzen Hund leben“ hält eine Fülle praktischer Ratschläge bereit – darüber, wie man eine Depression frühzeitig erkennt, was man dagegen tun kann und was man lieber bleiben lässt, vor allem aber auch darüber, wie Angehörige helfen können, ohne dabei selbst krank zu werden. Die Johnstones haben eindringliche, berührende und oft humorvolle Bilder für das Leben mit der Depression gefunden und einen Ton, der Betroffene und ihre Angehörigen aus ihrer Isolation und Hilflosigkeit befreit, Trost spendet, Mut macht und Hoffnung verleiht.

Johnstone Country. Frontier Spirit Lives Here. Meet Hunter Buchanon, a towering mountain of a man who learned how to track prey in Georgia, kill in the Civil War, and prospect in the Black Hills of Dakota. Now he’s trying to live a peaceful gun-free life—but fate has other plans for him . . . A MAN AND HIS COYOTE When Hunter Buchanon rescued a wounded coyote pup—and named him Bobby Lee—he had no idea the cute little varmint would grow up to be such a loyal companion. Coyotes aren’t known to be man’s best friend. Most of them are as fierce and wild as the Black Hills they roam. But Bobby Lee is different. When Hunter is ambushed on the road, Bobby Lee leaps to his defense. And when the attacker tries to shoot Bobby Lee, Hunter returns the favor by hitting the man with a rock. By the time the smoke clears, the coyote-loving ex-Confederate is covered in blood—and the other guy’s got a knife in his chest. Now Hunter has to explain it all to the local sheriff. Which is going to be tough. Because the man he just killed is the sheriff’s deputy . . .

Fallon earned his freedom the hard way. He saved the lives of four guards, got released early, and became a detective. Then he went undercover, infiltrated a prison gang plotting to bust out—and barely made it out alive. Now they’re sending him back. Behind the iron. Straight to hell . . . This time, it’s the ninth circle known as Missouri State Penitentiary. His mission: get inside the infirmary, look for a pregnant inmate named Jess Harper, and find out where her bank-robbing boyfriend hid the stolen cash.

Matthew Johnstone's latest book Capturing Mindfulness, is a natural follow on from his last book Quiet the Mind which came out in 2012. It's a book on how to create mindfulness through photography. Matthew has been practicing what he terms 'photopresent' for the last 15 years and believes that next to meditation, this is one of the most creative and enjoyable ways to attain mindfulness in day-to-day life. The very essence of photography; after all, is all about focus and capturing 'the moment'. Matthew is fascinated by light, colour, composition and most importantly how he can see the world differently. For him, having camera in your hands is the reminder to consciously slow everything down from your breath, to your walk, to your thoughts and begin to really observe your surroundings as if seeing them for the first time. Mindfulness photography is about seeing something that no one else can, capturing something that will never happen again and finding beauty where it doesn't typically exist. When we become more consciously aware of where we are, what we're doing and what we're thinking, life can become calmer, more enjoyable and generally more manageable. Capturing Mindfulness is now one of Matthew's keynote talks.

A new title from bestselling author and illustrator Matthew Johnstone, paired with clinical psychologist Michael Player, and looking at ways to cope with stress, using techniques from CBT, ACT and Mindfulness.

The first step in understanding resilience is accepting what you can and cannot change. This book is about how we can fortify our lives mentally, emotionally and physically. It is not about what happens when we get knocked down but more about what happens when we get up again.

Všichni kolem sebe pořád slyšíme „buď stále ve spojení“, snažíme se zpracovat všechno najednou, hlavou se nám neustále honí stovky myšlenek, které nás ani na vteřinu nenechají v klidu.

Knížka zkušeného autora je jednoduchým a dobře srozumitelným průvodcem, který vás krok za krokem naučí meditovat a nalézt klid ve vlastní mysli.

Unser Leben sollte glücklich und harmonisch verlaufen, erfolgreich und gesund – das zumindest hoffen wir alle.

Um Krisen zu meistern und nicht daran zu zerbrechen, sondern zu wachsen, braucht es »Resilienz«. Was Resilienz bedeutet, wie man diese unsichtbare Kraft entwickeln und aufrechterhalten kann, das zeigt Matthew Johnstone in diesem Buch auf seine unnachahmliche Art und Weise: mit wunderbaren, ganz unmittelbar wirkenden Illustrationen und überzeugenden Texten, mit großer Wärme und klugem Witz.
