Half a million people have now played this game to astonishing results: depression gone in 6 weeks in some cases and even terminal cancer patients reporting that playing the game gives them a sense of control over their own health. The book shows readers how to use these techniques to find strength and create positivity: readers can look to their own 'power-ups' which are little things they can do to feel better and tackle the hurdles in their own lives.This book provides simple step-by-step ideas that can be carried out in day-to-day life, helping you transform your life with a new flexible and reenergised mindset. In this book McGonigal uses her own story and those of others to expertly demonstrate how simple changes can result in dramatic life-affirming effects. And what's more, she tells you how you yourself can lead a more "gameful" life.SuperBetterSelf-helpPersonal growth and achievementMcGonigal Jane1977-oth773697AUDIO9910148912803321SuperBetter: How a Gameful Life Can Make You Stronger, Happier, Braver and More Resilient3651090UNINA03005nam 2200697 a 450 991095233430332120200520144314.097982160091229786610469550978128046955812804695529780313051890031305189510.5040/9798216009122(CKB)1000000000451744(EBL)497452(OCoLC)61154123(SSID)ssj0000238454(PQKBManifestationID)11206734(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000238454(PQKBWorkID)10233086(PQKB)11448368(Au-PeEL)EBL497452(CaPaEBR)ebr10347033(CaONFJC)MIL46955(OCoLC)57426286(MiAaPQ)EBC497452(OCoLC)52030990(DLC)BP9798216009122BC(Perlego)4260522(EXLCZ)99100000000045174420030331d2003 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe rise and fall of the ancient Israelite states /Martin Sicker1st ed.Westport, Conn. :Praeger,2003.London :Bloomsbury Publishing,20241 online resource (272 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9780275980122 027598012X Includes bibliographical references (p.

The Aftermath; Selected Bibliography; IndexBy subjecting biblical writings to a political analysis, Sicker constructs a plausible political history of the ancient Israelite states that dealt with virtually every issue faced by governments throughout subsequent history. As he makes clear, the way they dealt with those issues, successfully or otherwise, is highly instructive and relevant to today's analysis of geopolitical issues.||Our knowledge of the political history of ancient Israel is almost exclusively dependent on the information that may be gleaned from biblical writings, which reflect a historiosophical perspective very differeJewsHistoryTo 586 B.CJewsKings and rulersJewsHistoryJewsKings and rulers.933Sicker Martin296234DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910952334303321The rise and fall of the ancient Israelite states4337389UNINA
