Ambition
An engaging account of ambition, the forces that drive and constrain it, and whether it serves our deepest needs. Ambition is a dominant force in for human civilization, driving its greatest achievements and most horrific abuses. Our striving has brought art, airplanes, and antibiotics, as well as wars, genocide, and despotism.

Der Sport des Militärs
Sport hat für das Militär generell und für die Soldaten und Soldatinnen in ihrem Dienstalltag und in Einsatzsituationen eine herausgehobene Bedeutung. Die Rolle des Sports in den Streitkräften geht dabei weit über die Ertüchtigung des Körpers hinaus. Dieser Band ist das erste umfassende Werk, das sich der Thematik Sport und Militär und ihren Dimensionen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen – Sozialwissenschaften und Geschichte sowie Medizin, Sportwissenschaft und Psychologie – nähert. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem Zusammenhang von Sport und Militär im 20. Jahrhundert und auf der Ausgestaltung dieses Beziehungsgeflechts in der Bundeswehr. Der Band gliedert sich in fünf Sektionen. Zunächst werden die grundlegenden Beziehungen von Sport und Militär betrachtet – aus wissenschaftlicher wie aus praktischer Sicht. Die zweite Sektion widmet sich aus sportwissenschaftlicher Perspektive der Praxis des Sports im Militär, die dritte Sektion der Förderung des Spitzensports. Die vierte Sektion liefert historische Analysen. Eine abschließende Sektion blickt mit zeitgeschichtlichem Ansatz auf das Verhältnis von Sport und Militär in anderen Ländern bzw. Streitkräften.
Mindfulness and Acceptance in Sport
Mindfulness- and acceptance-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness Acceptance Commitment (MAC) are gaining momentum with sport psychology practitioners who work to support elite athletes. These acceptance-based, or third wave, cognitive behavioral approaches in sport psychology highlight that thought suppression and control techniques can trigger a metacognitive scanning process, and that excessive cognitive activity and task-irrelevant focus (self-focused attention such as trying to change thoughts) disrupts performance. Using this perspective, the aim of sport psychology interventions is not to help the athletes engage in the futile task of managin...
