Explores how women can use psychological and spiritual tools to create a more fulfilling way of life and to attain happiness and freedom from the have-it-all superwoman culture.

We: A Manifesto for Women Everywhere

Imagine a sisterhood - across all creeds and cultures. An unspoken agreement that we, as women, will support and encourage one another. That we will remember we don't know what struggles each of us may be facing elsewhere in our lives and so we will assume that each of us is doing our best... So begins WE: an inspiring, empowering and provocative manifesto for change. Change which we can all effect, one woman at a time. Change which provides a crucial and timely antidote to the 'have-it-all' Superwoman culture and instead focusses on what will make each and every one of us happier and more free. Change which provides an answer to the nagging sense of 'is that it?' that almost all of us can succumb to when we wake in the dead of night. Written by actress Gillian Anderson and journalist Jennifer Nadel - two friends who for the last decade have stumbled along together, learning, failing, crying, laughing and trying again - WE is a not a theoretical treatise but instead a rallying cry to create a life that has greater meaning and purpose. Combining tools which are practical, psychological and spiritual, it is both a process and a vision for a more fulfilling way of living. And a truly inspiring vision of a happier, more emotionally rewarding future we can all create together...

A Manifesto for Modern Women

When fifteen-year-old Becs meets Bracken, she is convinced she's found her soul mate. So what if he's much older, and who cares about her exams? He's gorgeous, he gets her, she feels free with him, and when he holds her she feels safe. But is she? When her best friend is assaulted, one of a spate of attacks against girls from her school, the world suddenly seems a much more dangerous place. Who is it safe to trust? Should she follow her head or her heart? Becs is forced to make choices that will affect the rest of her life. Set during the summer of '76, to the music of David Bowie and the Rolling Stones, Pretty Thing is a powerful story of first encounters, dark obsession and last chances. It pits true love against real life and asks: is love really all you need?

Pretty Thing

Ein Manifest für Frauen, die mehr vom Leben wollen

How Compassion can Transform our Politics, Economy, and Society draws together experts across disciplines – ranging from psychology to climate science, philosophy to economics, history to business – to explore the power of compassion to transform politics, our society, and our economy. The book shows that compassion can be used as the basis of a new political, economic, and social philosophy as well as a practical tool to address climate breakdown, inequality, homelessness, and more. Crucially, it also provides a detailed plan for its execution. It marks the first time that the study of compassion has been applied across multiple disciplines. The book provides a template for the study of compassion on an interdisciplinary basis and will appeal to academics, professionals, and the general reader searching for a fresh and inspiring approach to the seemingly intractable problems facing the world.

How Compassion can Transform our Politics, Economy, and Society

Warum sind so viele von uns Frauen immer noch in Selbstkritik, Abhängigkeit und selbstverletzendem Verhalten gefangen? Wie viel glücklicher und stärker wären wir, wenn wir – statt uns in ständigem Wettkampf gegeneinander zu wenden – unsere Kräfte vereinigen und einander mitfühlend begegnen würden? WIR ist eine Bewegung, die Veränderung herbeiführen will, ein Manifest für eine weibliche Revolution, für eine bewusste Kehrtwende. WIR fordert jede von uns auf, die Veränderung zu sein und die Reise vom Ich zum Wir anzutreten. In einer einzigartigen Verbindung von Psychologie und Spiritualität führen uns die Autorinnen auf eine lebensverändernde Reise. Der Ausgangspunkt sind neun Prinzipien für ein neues Handeln und Denken, mit denen wir ein Gegenstück zu unserer ichbezogenen Kultur erschaffen und negative Verhaltensmuster durch eine positive, friedliche und bewusste Lebensweise ersetzen.
