Auckland University Press The Infinite Game: How to Live Well Together
Book SynopsisWhether we are competing for a job, building a business or championing a good cause, some days it can feel as if we are trapped in an endless competition for status, wealth or attention. Maybe if we learn to play the game and follow the rules we'll come out on top. But is life really a finite game - a game of selection and rules, winners and losers, players and spectators? In The Infinite Game, Niki Harre asks us to imagine our world anew. What if we are all part of a different type of game entirely - a game in which playing matters more than winning, a game that anyone can join at any time, a game in which rules evolve as new players turn up - an infinite game? Harre looks at our society (are people pawns or participants?) and ourselves (what kind of player would you like to be?) to offer an inspiring vision of how we might live well together. Deeply informed by psychological research and a life of social activism, Niki Harre's provocative book teaches us all how we might live life as an infinite game.Trade Review`It seems to me that violence happens in this world when we try to achieve objectives on a short wavelength of time. We short-circuit the right process. In contrast, nonviolence works on the long wave. In The Infinite Game, Niki Harre points towards the transformations that can happen if we move from finite towards infinite ways of seeing and being. A timely study for our pressed and pressing times.' - Professor Alastair McIntosh, author of Soil and Soul: People versus Corporate Power and Spiritual Activism: Leadership as Service.

Spinifex Press Zest for Life: Lesbians' Experiences of Menopause
Book SynopsisZest for Life draws on lesbians’ experiences of menopause to highlight how lesbians, particularly at midlife, are invisibilised in society at large. Many writers and researchers have critically analysed the medical construction of menopause, yet even they fail to ask whether the issues are the same for lesbians. Zest for Life includes the voices of lesbians who tell us that despite lesbian invisibility and homophobia, many are resisting current standards that exclude them. The experiences of these women challenge negative, stereotypical views of menopause and add a new positive dimension to the presently narrow and medicalised view of women at midlife. An important uplifting book both for lesbians and heterosexual women as well as health professionals which shows that menopause need not be a time of despair.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Lesbians, Body Image and Menopause; Sex and Sexuality at Menopause; Hormone Replacement Therapy; Health Services and Homophobia; 'There Are Always Different Issues': Lesbians' Unique Experiences of Menopause; Dual Vision: A Vision for Short-Term and Long-Term Change.

The touchstones for each step are described in short chapters such as "Embrace the Uniqueness of Your Loss," "Recognize You Are Not Crazy," and "Appreciate Your Transformation."

Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc. Fearless Parenting Makes Confident Kids
Book SynopsisThis book is about parental authority in modern times and its pivotal role in raising self-reliant, compassionate, and ethical children, and in preventing behavioural and even severe psychiatric disorders. The last generation witnessed a backlash against disciplining children. We as parents are told to engage in negotiation with our kids about their behaviour. We are afraid to be tough with them in case they will not love us or worse -- breakdown. As a result, families today face severe behaviour problems at earlier ages, and parents throw up their hands in resignation. The main theme and objective of this book is to prove that setting and enforcing reasonable and appropriate boundaries, combined with learning and education, could save parents'' relationships with their kids and literally save children''s lives. The book is unique in that it presents in a direct, simple, and yet profound way, real case studies and situations commonly encountered, along with severe cases of drug abuse, delinquencies, and mental disturbances. All cases are shown to respond very well to authority and boundaries adjusted to the specific situation and behaviour. The book contains numerous references to professional material for the more advanced reader and derives inspiration from ancient philosophers and religious thinkers.
