?En esta versión revisada, el renombrado autor y consultor Dr. Richard Carlson, conocido nacionalmente por su trabajo con el manejo del estrés, nos revela un importantísimo adelanto en la psicología humana. La mayoría de la gente cree que la felicidad depende de las circunstancias exteriores, y que resolviendo nuestros problemas, mejorando nuestras relaciones y teniendo éxito, podremos encontrar la felicidad. Pero el Dr. Carlson demuestra claramente que la felicidad no tiene que ver con fuerzas fuera de nuestro control — y que, de hecho, la felicidad es nuestro estado natural. ?Con esta guía sencilla y práctica, el Dr. Carlson nos enseña cómo ser felices ahora, antes de intentar la solución de nuestros problemas. Si entendemos los cinco principios — pensamiento, estados de ánimo, realidades separadas, sentimientos, y el momento presente — descubrimos un nuevo modo de ser que no reprime las emociones naturales ni tampoco permite que nos abrumen nuestros pensamientos y sentimientos. Usted sí puede ser feliz pase lo que pase es una guía que lleva cuidadosamente al lector por entre los retos de la vida, y a lo largo del camino nos va restaurando con la alegría de la vida.

¡Felicidad! He aquí algo que todos anhelamos pero pocos logran alcanzar. ¿Por qué no somos felices? ¿Cómo podemos lograrlo? La felicidad se caracteriza por sentimientos de gratitud, paz interna, satisfacción y afecto por nosotros mismos y los demás. Ese es, de hecho, nuestro estado natural; sin embargo, ciertas barreras psicológicas nos impiden experimentar esos sentimientos positivos. Son unas obstrucciones que, inocentemente, hemos aprendido a aceptar como “necesarias”, tal vez porque pensábamos que “la vida es así”. Pero tan pronto eliminamos esas barreras aparece ante nosotros una vida inmensamente más bella, plena y significativa. Richard Carlson enseña en esta amena y práctica obra cinco sencillos principios psicológicos que nos permitirán detectar y eliminar desde ahora mismo, y en todo momento, esas barreras que nos apartan de la felicidad. Porque, en verdad, “sí” podemos ser felices pase lo que pase.¡Es más fácil de lo que se piensa! Basta sólo con probar. RICHARD CARLSON posee el grado de Ph. D. (doctor en Filosofía). Es especialista en la terapia del estrés, asesor de empresas, autor de gran éxito y célebre conferenciante que ha hablado ante audiencias de millares de personas sobre cómo alcanzar la felicidad. Entre sus obras, de las cuales se han vendido más de cinco millones de ejemplares, destaca el bestseller “No te ahogues en un vaso de agua”, que se ha mantenido largo tiempo como uno de los libros más vendidos en la lista del New York Times.

Step-by-step instructions enable chemical engineers to master key software programs and solve complex problems Today, both students and professionals in chemical engineering must solve increasingly complex problems dealing with refineries, fuel cells, microreactors, and pharmaceutical plants, to name a few. With this book as their guide, readers learn to solve these problems using their computers and Excel, MATLAB, Aspen Plus, and COMSOL Multiphysics. Moreover, they learn how to check their solutions and validate their results to make sure they have solved the problems correctly. Now in its Second Edition, Introduction to Chemical Engineering Computing is based on the author’s firsthand teaching experience. As a result, the emphasis is on problem solving. Simple introductions help readers become conversant with each program and then tackle a broad range of problems in chemical engineering, including: Equations of state Chemical reaction equilibria Mass balances with recycle streams Thermodynamics and simulation of mass transfer equipment Process simulation Fluid flow in two and three dimensions All the chapters contain clear instructions, figures, and examples to guide readers through all the programs and types of chemical engineering problems. Problems at the end of each chapter, ranging from simple to difficult, allow readers to gradually build their skills, whether they solve the problems themselves or in teams. In addition, the book’s accompanying website lists the core principles learned from each problem, both from a chemical engineering and a computational perspective. Covering a broad range of disciplines and problems within chemical engineering, Introduction to Chemical Engineering Computing is recommended for both undergraduate and graduate students as well as practicing engineers who want to know how to choose the right computer software program and tackle almost any chemical engineering problem.

There is no greater need in the world at this present moment than the need for love. Where and how do we learn to love?

Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of «Critical Theory of Patriarchy» explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have «replaced» matriarchies and nature itself by a «progressive» counter-world of «capital». This transformation characterizes «capitalist patriarchy» including «socialism». Its demise is due to the «alchemical» destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as «creation». This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new «military alchemy», treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the «Planetary Movement for Mother Earth».

The Phenomenological Mind is the first book to properly introduce fundamental questions about the mind from the perspective of phenomenology. Key questions and topics covered include: • what is phenomenology? • naturalizing phenomenology and the cognitive sciences • phenomenology and consciousness • consciousness and self-consciousness • time and consciousness • intentionality • the embodied mind • action • knowledge of other minds • situated and extended minds • phenomenology and personal identity. This second edition includes a new preface, and revised and improved chapters. Also included are helpful features such as chapter summaries, guides to further reading, and a glossary, making The Phenomenological Mind an ideal introduction to key concepts in phenomenology, cognitive science and philosophy of mind.
