Nimsdai Purja: Beyond possible

Throughout 2019, I came alive in the death zone. Soon after, I was showing the world a new truth: that with bravery and enough heart and drive, the impossible was possible...

Bestsellers recommendation

Kazuo Ishiguro: Klara and the Sun

From the best-selling author of Never Let Me Go and The Remains of the Day, a stunning new novel—his first since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature—about the wondrous, mysterious nature of the human heart.

From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change forever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans.

In Klara and the Sun, Kazuo Ishiguro looks at our rapidly changing modern world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love?

Grecsó Krisztián: Valami népi

In the stories of Krisztián Grecsó, parallels do not always meet, however, encounters can still be told. Sometimes the events take place at the same time, but in different places (Transylvania, in the capital or in a village), other times in the same place, but at different times: in the thirties or fifties, but at the same time nowadays.  We all know the feeling when we are not in our place. The folk stories of Valami népi are about these homeless situations. Whether he follows his past or recent village histories, life paths passing side by side or the stories of his own life, there is always ruthless compassion in Krisztián Grecsó's short stories.

Lukács Liza: Hogyan szeretsz? - Kötődési sebeink gyógyítása

Perhaps we have asked ourselves the question several times: what could be the reason the same relationship difficulties recur again and again throughout our lives? The answer is that our patterns of attachment developed in us as children fundamentally determine our choices and behaviors. They affect all of our important human relationships (our relationships as well as our parenting, friendships, school and work relationships) and will establish the relationship with ourselves. As a matter of fact, we develop relationships in which we feel like we did in our childhood. This is true even if we do not have a positive image of our childhood and even if we have particularly painful experiences. We will love the way we were loved. We will value ourselves depending on how valuable we were to others. Whatever experience we’ve had in the past feels like home to us, consciously or unconsciously shaping our human relationships.

Of course, after a disappointment, we often believe we have learned our lesson. We take a look at what we need to pay attention to next time and what type of people we’re going to avoid. Maybe we’ll even be able to articulate our needs. And then it starts all over again ... Repetition is not easy to avoid because it is very difficult to notice deeper, essential similarities with our original attachment patterns. This can often be a burden. However, it is these repetitions that show us the hard-to-recognize, unconsciously replayed elements of our attachment. If we learn to read from them, they will be of great help to us to change our patterns of attachment — and with it, our relationships — in a positive direction.

This book provides guidance on learning about our individual attachment history, while taking a new look at our past and present relationships.
