Positive Psychology
We have evolved to enjoy sleep, sex and sweets - and so we do. But negativity permeates our lives too: we are drawn to murder and violence on the news; we remember the schoolyard bully as if it was yesterday, and we are taught to accept boring education. It is in our genes, but it is also deeply ingrained in our culture. We must pull ourselves together! This is the message from Hans Henrik Knoop, Associate Professor at Aarhus Univesity, President of the European Network for Positive Psychology. If we create the right conditions for growth and self-regulation, we can raise ourselves above primitive desires to achieve far greater well-being.
Well-Being and Cultures
This anthology focuses on empirical studies comparing cultures in relation to central positive psychological topics. The book starts out with an introductory chapter that brings together the main ideas and findings within an integrative perspective, based on a broad theoretical framework encompassing interdisciplinary and methodological issues. It gives special emphasis to some open issues in the theory and assessment of culture-related dimensions, and to the potential of positive psychology in addressing them. The introductory chapter is followed by two chapters that examine theoretical approaches and instruments developed to assess happiness and well-being across cultures. Following that examination, five chapters are devoted to the relationship between well-being, cultures and values. The second half of the book prominently investigates well-being across cultures in the light of socio-economic factors. This book shows that positive psychology, now officially well into its second decade, is providing still finer-grained perspectives on the diversity of cultures along with insights about our shared human nature, uniting us for better or worse.
Positiv og negativ psykologi
Professor Hans Henrik Knoop og professor Svend Brinkmann er grundlæggende uenige, hvad angår positiv psykologi. I denne single diskuterer de, hvordan den positive psykologi og relaterede perspektiver kan berige og hæmme menneskers livsudfoldelse. Da Hans Henrik Knoop i 2014 anmeldte Svend Brinkmanns bog Stå fast tog en intens debat mellem de to professorkolleger fart. Deres uenighed går især på begreberne selvudvikling og positiv psykologi. Bør vi som mennesker arbejde på at gøre vores tilværelse bedre og mere harmonisk ved at fokusere på vores trivsel? Eller bør vi snarere arbejde intenst på at forandre de rammer samfundet stiller op for os? Eller består vores bedste chancer i at kombinere de to? Gyldendal Business Singler er korte og koncentrerede tekster, som du kan læse for hurtigt at sætte dig ind i et emne. Efterfølgende kan man opsøge mere viden, hvis man vil have emnet uddybet.
Positiv psykologi
Vi er født til at nyde søvn, sex og syltetøjsmadder, og det gør vi. Men ellers fylder det dårlige - vi dyrker drab i nyhederne, husker skolens buksevand, som var det i går, og dødkeder os på arbejdet. Det ligger i generne, men det ligger også i kulturen. Vi må tage os sammen! lyder budskabet fra lektor ved Aarhus Universitet Hans Henrik Knoop, der er præsident for European Network for Positive Psychology. Hvis vi skaber de rette betingelser for vækst og selvregulering, kan vi løfte os fra stenaldermennesket og opnå en langt bedre trivsel.

Multiple Intelligences Around the World
Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) has become a cornerstone of American education. This is the first book to draw upon an international network of MI practitioners to share stories and strategies of educational innovation. Each contributor addresses key questions of MI application. How have different people implemented MI? How do different cultures assimilate this intelligence theory to fit their educational values and traditions? What kinds of cultural conflicts are encountered along the way? And, what universal lessons can be drawn from these experiences?
