3. Narayana Unsere Kinder brauchen uns

A wake-up call to parental instincts!

It is a disturbing trend of our time: children and adolescents are increasingly looking to their peers for guidance—regarding
their values, identity, and behavior. This peer orientation undermines family cohesion, affects healthy development, and fosters a hostile and sexualized youth culture. Children become excessively conformist, desensitized, and alienated. Being cool is more important to them than anything else.

In this book, the two renowned experts in child development, Dr. Gordon Neufeld and Dr. Gabor Maté, address this phenomenon and explain the reasons behind the decline of parental influence. They outline ways to reconnect sons and daughters, restore the natural hierarchy in the home, give children a sense of being understood, and regain their loyalty and love. The book also discusses the handling of digital devices and social media. This parenting guide helps desperate parents rediscover their instincts to fulfill the role that nature intended for them: to provide their children with support, security, and warmth.

Dr. Gordon Neufeld is a psychologist, internationally recognized as an expert in child development and founder of the Neufeld Institute International. Through his organization, he offers courses for parents and professionals worldwide.

Dr. Gabor Maté is a physician and author of international bestsellers such as "When the Body Says No," "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts," and "Scattered Minds." He is an expert on topics such as stress, child development, ADHD, parenting, and addiction.

A must-read for anyone with children!.

6. Narayana Die Dopamin-Nation

What the search for a constant kick does to our hormones

This book is about pleasure and pain. It explores the fine line of balance between these two states and
why it is more important than ever to find this equilibrium today. We live in an era of unprecedented dopamine-stimulating sensory overload: whether through drugs, food, social media, gambling, shopping, sex, or the constant reach for our smartphones, which have become the digital injection needles of our time. The variety of addictions is overwhelming.

The author packages complex neuroscience into easily understandable metaphors and explains that true satisfaction and connection can only be achieved when we maintain control over our dopamine. The experiences of her patients provide the compelling material for her narrative. Their stories of suffering and paths to redemption inspire us to take control of our own consumption. This book shows that the secret to balance lies in connecting longing and healing.

Dr. Anna Lembke is a professor of psychiatry and addiction medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the director of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. She has received numerous awards for her outstanding research in the field of mental illness, her teaching, and innovative treatment approaches.
