A New York Times Bestseller What makes for a happy life, a fulfilling life? A good life? In their “captivating” (The Wall Street Journal) book, the directors of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest scientific study of happiness ever conducted, show that the answer to these questions may be closer than you realize. What makes a life fulfilling and meaningful? The simple but surprising answer is: relationships. The stronger our relationships, the more likely we are to live happy, satisfying, and healthier lives. In fact, the Harvard Study of Adult Development reveals that the strength of our connections with others can predict the health of both our bodies and our brains as ...
This volume, the result of the second annual Summer Institute sponsored by the Family Research Consortium, focuses on family transitions--both normative and non-normative. The subject of family transitions has been a central concern of the consortium largely because studies of families in motion help to highlight mechanisms leading to adaptation and dysfunction. This text represents a collective effort to understand the techniques individuals and families employ to adapt to the pressing issues they encounter along their life course.
These companion volumes provide a "behind the scenes" look into the personal experiences of researchers in an effort to eliminate the lack of communication surrounding family research methodology. They show how the researchers achieved their results and why they chose particular methodologies over others. These volumes present more than just findings -- they present the real experiences of the authors in their own styles and personalities, exposing the problems, mistakes, and concerns they experienced during their research projects. Volume I presents the experiences of researchers into typical normative populations. Volume II describes work with clinical, atypical populations.
Today, the documentation of children's education and development is an important part of educational work in early childhood education. This book systematises the topic of pedagogical documentation based on current empirical research. The book analyses different pedagogical reasons for documentation and then presents and discusses different procedures of pedagogical documentation in theory and empirical practice : Portfolio, Learning Stories, pedagogical documentation in the room, project documentation and digital pedagogical documentation. Pedagogical documentation is discussed in the tension between a social constructivist understanding of education on the one hand and a diagnostic logic of fostering on the other. The book is intended as a part of pedagogically oriented childhood research, which also wants to contribute to the reflection and improvement of pedagogical practice.
Seit es Menschen gibt, sichert uns das Prinzip von Gemeinschaft und Zusammenhalt wortwörtlich das Überleben. Entdecken wir es neu! Es ist das Paradox unserer Zeit: Wir fühlen uns so vernetzt wie nie, aber gleichzeitig steigt die Sehnsucht nach echter Verbundenheit. Kein Wunder, denn das ist evolutionär in uns angelegt: Menschen brauchen Menschen. In ihrem neuen Buch beschreibt Bestsellerautorin Ronja von Wurmb-Seibel, warum Verbundenheit nicht nur auf individueller Ebene – gute soziale Beziehungen sind ein maßgeblicher Faktor für unsere Gesundheits- und Altersvorsorge –, sondern auch auf gesellschaftlicher Ebene wichtiger ist denn je. Zusammenhalten können ist das, was uns Menschen ausmacht. Hier erfahren wir, wie es gelingt. »Dieses Buch macht Mut und steckt an. Zusammen können wir die Probleme unserer Zeit angehen - und tatsächlich etwas bewirken! Ein kluger, lebensfroher Wegweiser raus aus der Dauerkrise.« — Carolin Kebekus
