Thousands of incredible things happen on Earth every second, and not all of them are positive. Today, not only wildlife but also many people are fighting for survival. Participants of the Siena International Photo Awards have tried to show all the diversity and ambiguity of our planet.

An excerpt from the article Disregard for the individual” and “the evolution of ideas” as a condition for returning to God. (To the reception of Christ the Human in the socio-political and cultural life of the 1960s and 1970s)

“A necessary condition for bullying and persecution in society is initiated or the total situation of “disregard for the individual” encouraged by the authorities. But another condition has arisen in history — the split of the Russian world, which has been repeated several times, accompanying terror and persecution. As a result the split was not only “disregard for personality”, but also new ideologies and imaginary moral guidelines that lead further and further Russian people from the Truth and from God.

I've been thinking for a long time whether to post my research article here. Then decided that it fits into the site's problems, since one of the prerequisites for mobbing are initiated and encouraged from above the situation of “disregard for identity”.

I am happy to present you the book by Taras Ivashchenko, a friend and consultant on our website mobbingu.net, a certified psychotherapist from Riga, and his colleague, certified psychologist Natalia Morozova, “The Chameleon Girl. Living with a mental illness and a history of recovery.” The hard copy of the book was published in Latvian by ZvaigzneABC and received good reviews from experts and readers. And now the book is available in Russian on LitRes.

Dear parents! I would like to introduce you to Samokat's wonderful graphic book “The Volcano That Was Angry” (2020). The author of the text and drawings is Natalya Baiduzha, a designer and illustrator from Siberia. Age marking 0-3.4-6. I am very closely researching new children's books that raise the topic of aggression and bullying. And not all books appeal to me, and I don't want to talk about them all. But I immediately became interested in Vulcan, although it is for children of an age I don't work with. I looked at it carefully several times and figured out how parents or caregivers could “work” with her.

One idiotic photo. One inappropriate comment on social media after an extra glass of wine. And now my whole life is going downhill. Just one sin, and a wave of popular rage is destroying everything in its path. This is the dark side of social media. Forbes Life publishes an excerpt from “So You Were Publicly Humiliated” by acclaimed writer and documentary filmmaker John Ronson, which will be released by Bombora in January.

An excerpt from Tatyana Rick's unpublished novel “I'm fine. Please take me away!” (Mom (the author of the story) talks about her childhood to her twelve-year-old son.)

In this video, I'm talking about great children's books that help children understand themselves and adults. The video focuses on the topic of an adult's responsibility for someone else's child who needs support or help.

We read children's books while having fun and empathizing with the characters. But some good books for kids contain recognizable “case studies” that can and should be analyzed with children. A psychological children's book can become a child's friend.

The authors of the book “The Art of Retreating. How it helps in life, love and work” Peg Streep and Alan Bernstein (Minsk: Potpourri, 2014, translated from English by Yu.I. Gerasimchik) defy conventional stereotypes that make us fight to the bitter end and never give up. The authors argue that the ability to abandon the goal in time and leave is as valuable as dedication and perseverance. Using examples, they show how people who abandoned their goals in time, stopped trying to prove something, freed themselves from “tunnel vision” and gave up their fanatical dedication to the goal and perseverance in achieving it achieved success in life. When we stop fighting, we overload our minds and minds, give ourselves a break and are able to formulate new goals. Failure, followed by quitting and losing, often paralyzes us. Unable to give up their usual behavior — breaking into closed gates — people often find themselves in a vicious circle. They are accompanied by failures and disappointments. And, as a result, self-esteem falls and depression occurs. <br>

Marina Melnikova's review of the “Samokat” book “The Book of All Things” by Guus Kuyer (2018) It's a very very cool book; I can't even call it a children's book. Not so long ago, I realized that the division into children's and non-children's books is somehow wrong. Good books, films, and plays range from a certain age to a hundred years, or longer, whoever gets lucky. I've seen such people more and more often lately: Miss Charity, The Jellyfish Report, Alice in Wonderland translated by Yevgeny Klyuev, Waffle Heart, and even The Fox and the Bunny. So, of course, I had seen such books before, but I didn't understand it, I thought they stayed when I was a child, books that I had once read a hundred times...
