Wie du dich von deinen Abhängigkeiten befreist
Alkohol, Zigaretten, Essen, Smartphone, Job, Beziehung – wir leben in einer Welt voller Abhängigkeiten. Und wenn man nicht gerade eine der glücklichen Ausnahmen ist, weiß man meist gar nicht, dass man abhängig ist. Fast jeder von uns hat ungesunde Gewohnheiten oder bestimmte Dinge, ohne die man scheinbar nicht leben kann. Auch Russell Brand war abhängig. Abhängig von Drogen, Alkohol, Sex, Geld, Liebe und Ruhm. In diesem Buch verrät er, wie es ihm gelungen ist, sich von den Zwängen seines Lebens zu lösen. Nur 12 Schritte sind vonnöten – jeder kann sich von seinen Abhängigkeiten befreien, ganz neue Perspektiven kennenlernen und wahre Freiheit erlangen. Wer es wirklich will, kann es schaffen!
Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped describes the impact that a series of significant people have had on the author - from the wayward youths he tried to emulate growing up in Essex, through the first ex-junkie sage, to the people he turns to today to help him be a better father. It explores how we all - consciously and unconsciously - choose guides, mentors and heroes throughout our lives and examines the new perspectives they can bring
Het heeft 4 miljard jaar geduurd om te evolueren tot waar we nu zijn. Iedereen die dit leest, heeft de evolutionaire Hongerspelen gewonnen door simpelweg op twee benen te staan en geen fossiel te zijn. Dit zou ons de gelukkigste soort op aarde moeten maken, maar dat zijn we vaak niet. Wat is er misgegaan? We behandelen onszelf steeds meer als machines en minder als mensen. We zijn gewend om dingen zoals onze smartphones te upgraden: zodra er een nieuwe uitkomt, denken we er niet twee keer over na en gooien we de oude weg. Zelfs als bijna elk deel van ons robotachtig wordt, hopen we dat we onze geest behouden, die we kunnen gebruiken voor dingen zoals medemenselijkheid in plaats van het najagen van wat 'beter' is. Dit boek, geschreven met hulp van een monnik die uitlegt hoe de geest werkt en mindfulness-oefeningen biedt, en een neurowetenschapper die ons 'ik' in de hersenen verklaart, beantwoordt al je vragen over evolutie, gedachten, emoties, het lichaam, verslavingen, relaties, kinderen, de toekomst en medemenselijkheid.
This is the age of addiction, a condition so epidemic, so all encompassing and ubiquitous that unless you are fortunate enough to be an extreme case, you probably don't know that you have it.What unhealthy habits and attachments are holding your life together? Are you unconsciously dependent on food? Bad relationships? A job that doesn't fulfill you? Numb, constant perusal of your phone, looking for what?My qualification for writing this book is not that I am better than you, it's that I am worse. I am an addict, addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, money, love and fame. The program in Twelve has given Russell Brand freedom from all addictions and it will do the same for you.This system offers nothing less than liberation from self-centredness, a new perspective, freedom from the illusion of suffering for anyone who is willing to take the necessary steps.
Russell Brand wants you to join the revolution. We all know the system isn't working. Our governments are corrupt and the opposing parties pointlessly similar. Our culture is filled with vacuity and pap, and we are told there's nothing we can do - "it's just the way things are". In this book, Russell Brand hilariously lacerates the straw men and paper tigers of our conformist times and presents, with the help of experts as diverse as Thomas Piketty and George Orwell, a vision for a fairer, sexier society that's fun and inclusive. You have been lied to, told there's no alternative, no choice and that you don't deserve any better. Brand destroys this illusory facade as amusingly and deftly as he annihilates Morning Joe anchors, Fox News fascists and BBC stalwarts. This book makes revolution not only possible, but inevitable and fun.
