From That to This

Life is about being and becoming, not having and getting.

From the renowned psychologist who introduced the world to “growth mindset” comes this updated edition of the million-copy bestseller—featuring transformative insights into redefining success, building lifelong resilience, and supercharging self-improvement. “Through clever research studies and engaging writing, Dweck illuminates how our beliefs about our capabilities exert tremendous influence on how we learn and which paths we take in life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes “It’s not always the people who start out the smartest who end up the smartest.” After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.

The Werther effect is a copycat effect of suicidal behavior following a suicide that has been widely publicized by the media.In 1974, David Phillips a American sociologist introduced the Werther effect. The name goes back to the novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe called The Sorrows of Young Werther.The novel's publication in 1774 was associated with an increased suicide rate. However, a causal connection is scientifically disputed.

The Werther effect: A spike of emulation

This life. This night.Your story. Your pain. Your hope. It matters. All of it matters.

The novel tells of Werther, who leaves his town because of a failed romance and now lives in a village called Wahlheim.There, he falls deeply in love with Charlotte, before learning that she is engaged to another man named Albert.Feeling like leaving, he sets off for Weimar to visit an old friend, but feels inexplicably out of place when he is thrown into an environment that is the complete opposite of where he came from.Upon his return to Wahlheim, he visits Charlotte, whose now married, and declares his love for her. After he sees that she loves him too, he takes his own life.

The Sorrows of Young Werther

When you feel like giving up, just remember the reason why you held onfor so long.

The Netﬂix series showed indications of the Werther effect because of the suicide of the protagonist.Several studies have shown that the suicide rate in the U.S. has increased among adolescents since then. It was particularly pronounced among girls between the ages of 10-19.

Be there for others,but never leave yourself behind.

<ul><li> Talk. Talk about your feelings with the people you trust. I know you think that nobody would understand you and your thoughts, but this is wrong.</li><li>If you think you might harm yourself, call the emergency services.</li><li>Make a crises plan & box!</li><li>Don't make decisions too fast!</li><li>Think about the people who care about you and who you love.</li><li>Get out of the way of negativity.</li><li>Distract yourself (Go to deepstash:), read books, draw, hear music...)</li></ul>

Suicidal Thoughts

You are important!You are so much more than you think you are!You are beautiful the way you are.So don't give upbecause the world cherishes you!

The Papageno effect refers to the influence that the mass media can have in responsibly reporting on suicide and highlighting alternatives to suicide in crisis. When media focus on coping strategies for suicidal thoughts, it has a positive effect and can increase knowledge about prevention and decrease suicidal thoughts.It's named after Papageno a character in Mozart's opera The Magic Flute.

The Papageno effect: A coping strategy for suicidal behavior

Many of life 's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

At the beginning of the opera, Prince Tamino falls in love with the beautiful Pamina, but she is kidnapped. Together with the bird catcher Papageno, a young man in a feather costume, he rescues his beloved from the palace of the kidnapper, the evil priest Sarastro.In the course of the opera, Papageno goes through a suicidal crisis situation, but he is able to overcome it successfully.

The Magic Flute

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Somewhere in the world, in the next forty seconds, a person is going to commit suicide. Globally, suicides account for 50 percent of all violent deaths among men and 71 percent for women. Despite suicide prevention programs, therapy, and pharmacological treatments, the suicide rate is either increasing or remaining high around the world. Media and Suicide holds traditional and emergent media accountable for influencing an individual’s decision to commit suicide. Global experts present research, historical analysis, theoretical disputes (including discussion on the Werther and Papageno effects), and policy regarding the media’s impact on suicide. They answer questions about the effects of different types of media and storytelling, show how the impact of social media can be diminished, discuss internet bullying, mass-shootings and mass-suicides, show the effects of recovery stories, and much more. The editors also present examples of suicide policy in the United States, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Hong Kong on how to best communicate reporting guidelines to decrease the copycat effect, especially in less developed nations where most of the world’s nearly one million suicides occur each year. Although there is much work to be done to prevent media-influenced suicide, this innovative volume will contribute a large piece to this complex puzzle.
