Title :
La gioia di muoversi. Come l'esercizio fisico aiuta a trovare la felicità, la speranza e il coraggioAuthor: McGonigal Kelly Publisher: Giunti Editore 'La gioa di muoversi' di Kelly McGonigal è quel libro che ti farà innamorare del movimento. Sappiamo tutti che l'attività fisica migliora la salute e allunga la vita, e allora perché per molti sembra ancora essere una spiacevole incombenza? Queste pagine ci mostrano come il movimento si intrecci con alcune delle gioie umane fondamentali - la realizzazione di sé e la capacità di connettersi con gli altri per esempio - e ci svela come possa essere un potente antidoto alla depressione, all'ansia e alla solitudine, vere e proprie epidemie dei tempi moderni. L'autrice riporta storie vere di persone che, proprio correndo, camminando, ballando, nuotando e sollevando pesi, hanno trovato un senso di appagamento e di appartenenza. Sono esempi che arrivano dal mondo intero: dalla Tanzania dove vive una delle ultime tribù di cacciatori-raccoglitori del pianeta, dalla Juilliard School di New York dove si tengono lezioni di ballo per persone malate di Parkinson, dalle strade di Londra dove gruppi di volontari abbinano l'esercizio fisico a lavori socialmente utili, dai deserti più remoti del mondo dove ci sono atleti che si spingono oltre i limiti della resistenza umana. Ne risulta un libro che, superando le argomentazioni più scontate a sostegno dell'esercizio fisico, illustra perché il movimento è parte integrante della natura umana e della nostra felicità. Prefazione Filippo Ongaro. € 22,00

Title :
La forza di volontà. Perché è importante e cosa puoi fare per migliorarlaAuthor: McGonigal Kelly Publisher: Giunti Editore Questo libro spiega cosa sia la forza di volontà e come possa essere sfruttata per migliorare la nostra salute, il nostro benessere e la nostra produttività. A chiunque voglia fare un cambiamento nella propria vita, che si tratti di perdere peso, conquistare una solidità finanziaria, ridurre lo stress, smettere di rimandare, diventare un genitore migliore o raggiungere un traguardo personale, questo libro fornisce un programma e strategie per identificare gli obiettivi, fortificare l'autocontrollo e compiere cambiamenti duraturi. Gestire lo stress e i cambiamenti nella vita sono condizioni nelle quali è necessario mettere in campo la nostra forza di volontà, ovvero la nostra capacità di controllare l'attenzione, le emozioni, i desideri e i comportamenti. La psicologa Kelly McGonigal spiega che cosa è la forza di volontà, perché è tanto importante e conduce il lettore a considerare i meccanismi biologici, le trappole mentali e i fattori sociali che la influenzano. L'autrice sostiene inoltre che la forza di volontà sia una sorta di disciplina, quindi si può apprenderla e migliorarla. € 20,00

Title :
Il lato positivo dello stress. Perché lo stress fa bene e come sfruttarlo al meglioAuthor: McGonigal Kelly Publisher: Giunti Psychometrics 'Lo stress fa male al cuore, lo stress è causa di insonnia, lo stress è... tossico'. E se tutto questo fosse sbagliato? Se cambiare la nostra opinione sullo stress ci rendesse più felici, più sani e più capaci di raggiungere i nostri obiettivi? In questo libro Kelly McGonigal offre una prospettiva completamente nuova: ci rivela il lato positivo dello stress e ci mostra esattamente come sfruttarne i vantaggi. Lo stress non è sempre nocivo, in molti casi ci rende più forti, più intelligenti e più felici. Può favorire le interazioni sociali e rafforzare l'empatia. Dunque, invece di cercare una via di fuga e di evitarlo, possiamo accettarlo in modo che diventi la chiave per il nostro benessere. Kelly McGonigal riesce a combinare scienza, storie di vita ed esemplificazioni pratiche in un volume coinvolgente e facile da leggere. Qui non si forniscono istruzioni per sbarazzarsi dello stress, ma per coglierne i benefici, comprendendolo, accogliendolo e sfruttandolo al meglio. Prepariamoci a non stressarci più per lo stress. € 24,00

The Willpower InstinctAuthor: McGonigal Kelly Ph.D. Publisher: Avery Pub Group The first book to explain the new science of self-control and how it can be harnessed to improve our health, happiness, and productivity.

The course was an instant hit and spawned the hugely successful Psychology Today blog with the same name. Informed by the latest research and combining cutting-edge insights from psychology, economics, neuroscience, and medicine, McGonigal's book explains exactly what willpower is, how it works, and why it matters.
