Books by David Hamilton

Mange af os bærer rundt på den hemmelighed, at vi inderst inde ikke elsker os selv – og det kan have alvorlig negativ indvirkning på både vores fysiske og psykiske sundhed, vores forhold til andre mennesker og oplevelse af livet generelt. I Jeg elsker mig kombinerer forfatteren David Hamilton videnskab, spiritualitet og sin hjertevarme selvindsigt for at vise, hvor vigtigt det er, at vi lærer at elske os selv mere, og han giver praktiske øvelser og konkrete anvisninger på, hvordan vi kan åbne hjertet og skabe nye neurale netværk i hjernen for at opnå større selvværd, mere mod og personlig styrke. Han beskæftiger sig bl.a. med, hvordan vi dropper vores uhensigtsmæssige forsvarsmekanismer, der fastholder os i en tilstand af mindreværd, og i stedet vover at være sårbare. Og hvordan vi bliver robuste, så vi ikke lader os slå ud af negative oplevelser og følelser af skyld og skam, som rigtig mange mennesker oplever. Bogen er yderst inspirerende, transformerende og fuld af den nyeste viden om, hvordan vi kan bruge hjernens plasticitet til at ændre indgroede tanke-, føle- og handlemønstre, der ikke tjener vores bedste. Bogen er let læst og fuld af øvelser, der kan udføres af alle.

You'll learn how to pick the sweetest berries, preserve mushrooms using only a radiator and prepare salads, risottos and puddings all with wild food.In all weathers, landscapes and seasons, David shows us that foraging doesn't just introduce us to new tastes and sensations, it also brings us closer to the natural world on our doorstep.

Det er en almindelig antagelse, at vi mennesker grundlæggende er selviske, men den britiske forfatter David Hamilton påpeger omvendt, at vi genetisk er disponerede for at være venlige. I sin nye bog fremlægger han adskillige videnskabelige undersøgelser, der viser, i hvor høj grad og hvordan det at være venlig påvirker både vores krop og sind. Venlighed har indflydelse på vores hjerte og immunsystem, og det bevirker, at vi er gladere og i det hele taget føler os bedre tilpas. Det at være venlig kan ligefrem sænke vores blodtryk, mindske stress og modvirke depression; det nedsætter desuden hastigheden hvormed vi ældes, booster vores selvværd, forbedrer vores relationer med andre mennesker – og så smitter det at være venlig, så andre får samme sidegevinster og giver det gode videre. Hvis man ikke allerede praktiserer venlighed i det daglige, får man her adskillige gode grunde til at begynde. 5 positive bivirkninger ved at være venlig blander den nyeste videnskab med helt almindelige menneskers personlige historier. Bogen er let læst, fuld af inspiration og overraskende viden, der alt sammen efterlader læseren med en følelse af glæde og optimisme.

David Hamilton revitalises American pastoral writing with an uncanny ability to conjure memories of childhood and moments of spiritual and physical encounter. His gift lies in combining these themes of discovery with a lyrical intelligence never far from natural speech, all delivered with sensitivity for people, place and natural beauty.
