Abstract: For fans of Jenny Han and Morgan Matson, a witty, poignant novel about second chances, letting go, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship. Six months ago, Ashlyn Montiel died in a bike accident. Her best friend, Cloudy, is keeping it together, at least on the outside. Cloudy's insides are a different story: tangled, confused, heartbroken. Kyle is falling apart, and everyone can tell. Ashlyn was his girlfriend, and when she died, a part of him went with her. Maybe the only part he cares about anymore. As the two people who loved Ashlyn best, Cloudy and Kyle should be able to lean on each other. But after a terrible mistake last year, they're barely speaking. So when Cloudy discovers that Ashlyn's organs were donated after her death and the Montiel family has been in touch with three of the recipients, she does something a little bit crazy and a lot out of character: she steals the letters and convinces Kyle to go on a winter break road trip with her, from Oregon to California to Arizona to Nevada. Maybe if they see the recipients-the people whose lives were saved by Ashlyn's death-the world will open up again. Or maybe it will be a huge mistake.

Abstract: Warum raucht man eigentlich? Warum kann man nicht einfach wieder aufhören? Und warum ist es so qualvoll, mit dem Rauchen aufzuhören? Was hat die Psyche mit dem Rauchen zu tun? Die Erfolgsautorin und Psychologin Maja Storch zeigt in ihrem Buch, dass beim Wunsch, mit dem Rauchen aufzuhören, nicht nur der körperliche Entzug bedacht werden muss. Auch das psychische System, vor allem das Unbewusste, muss damit einverstanden sein, denn die Zigarette hat meistens auch mit persönlicher Identität zu tun. Storch zeigt, dass das Rauchen durch unbewusste Lernvorgänge mit positiven Erinnerungen verknüpft ist, die - oft unbemerkt - zu einem Bestandteil der eigenen Identität werden. So kann z. B. die Zigarette (die ein Cowboy auf einem Pferd raucht) mit Freiheit und Abenteuer verbunden sein, ohne dass dies jemals so richtig bewusst wird. Daher ist nicht nur der körperliche Entzug ein Thema sondern auch die Neuorganisation des gesamten psychischen Systems: Es braucht eine neue Identität, die sich auch ohne das Rauchen gut und "komplett" anfühlt. In "Rauchpause" werden anschaulich die theoretischen Grundlagen, die zum Verständnis dieser Zusammenhänge benötigt werden, erläutert. Anschließend wird anhand des amüsanten Beispiels der Autorin selbst und weiterer Fallbeispiele gezeigt, mit welchen Schritten ein qualfreier, identitätsgerechter Neubeginn in die lebenslange Rauchpause eingeleitet werden kann. Das Buch entstand auf Initiative der Lungenliga Zürich. Die Arbeitsblätter, die als Kopiervorlagen benutzt werden können, finden Sie in aktueller Version zum Download.
