Being a mother is the most wonderful job in the world – but also the most demanding. Pressures of high expectations, overwhelming responsibilities, and exhaustion are just some of the stress factors that can lead to health problems such as cardiovascular disease and depression. What are the best ways to help mothers?
The renowned paediatrician Dr. Karella Easwaran, who has been supporting mothers for many years, is convinced that the solution to the problem lies in the mind! As an expert in mind-body medicine, she has developed the technique of « beneficial thinking ». This begins with the processes in our brain. When properly controlled, beneficial thinking can easily and sustainably change our perception and behaviour. Karella Easwaran’s conclusion is that when we subdue our energy-depleting thought patterns, we can finally dispel stress.
Dr. Karella Easwaran, born in 1965, studied medicine in Hungary and became a specialist in paediatrics and adolescent medicine at the University Children’s Hospital in Cologne. She is competent as well in naturopathy and nutritional medicine. In recent years she has focused on mind-body medicine and furthered her knowledge and experience at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Harvard University. She works as a paediatrician in her own practice. Her first book, The Secret of Healthy Children: What Parents Should and Should Not Do, is a bestseller.
Children are odd. And so are grandparents. Children grow up, get a mortgage, and refuse to touch the cheap booze they used to binge-drink at parties – while their grandparents rediscover a childlike pleasure in conquering the world and pushing the boundaries. Meanwhile, the younger generation prefers to stay at home, and to ‘find’ itself by living between the fridge and the computer. In this new collection of stories, told with much love and humour, family man Wladimir Kaminer reveals the complicated relationship between the generations.
Paris, ca. 1850. Bed-ridden and terminally ill, Heinrich Heine wants to prise one final work from the jaws of death: His memoirs are to be his magnum opus. It’s been a long time since he last attended an illustrious bohemian dinner – instead, he receives occasional visits from German exiles and French artist friends. One day, Elise Krinitz seeks him out. The young woman admires Heine, and hopes to find in him a mentor for her own literary ambitions. He tenderly and ironically calls her ‘Mouche’, and they soon embark on a platonic, but nonetheless passionate affair. Yet when Heine dies on the 17th February 1856, his memoirs are lost forever. Steeped in the fascinating panorama of 1850s Paris, Boëtius’s novel is a unique portrait of the final years of the great German poet Heinrich Heine.
