Hardly a day passes that one does not hear or read something topical on the theme of digitalization... However there are increasingly warning voices, especially from the spheres of science, medicine and developmental psychology. Research results from many studies are presented which indicate the side-effects and dangers from premature digitalization in nursery schools and schools: Impairment of frontal lobe development and the related autonomous thought and control capabilities, postural and eye damage, loss of empathy, deficiencies in verbal powers of expression, dependence on social networks, the danger of addiction... Developmental neurologists such as Prof. Hther and economic experts such as McAfee agree that in a future world determined by information technology, what is needed above all is creativity, social competence, as well as an ability to think and act entrepreneurially... The Chinese entrepreneur Jack Ma who created Alibaba, said at a world economic forum in Davos: Instead of cramming knowledge, which after all every computer gives you access to at the press of a button, schools should teach "values, trust, independent thinking, teamwork", and give more space to creative subjects such as art, culture, music and sport. These creative and entrepreneurial competencies, however, have their developmental foundation in the real world, not in the digital world! We have to consider this paradox. ...What is needed is clear information and practical tips for guiding children and adolescents at their respective ages, so as to avoid the possible damages. That is the goal of this media guidebook. It illustrates what children and adolescents require to gain healthy entry into an age of media technology. Authors have been replaced by many experts and organisations - the supporters and sponsors of this guidebook. What unites them is their love for young people and the great responsibility we have towards them... Excerpts from the Introduction by Dr. Michaela Glckler

"Almost every day you can read somewhere that a fundamental change is needed in schools and the education system.... With this book it is my deep wish to make a contribution to this." --M. Glöckler, pediatrician How do we accompany and support the development of children and adolescents so that they can be motivated to face the upcoming challenges? What skills are needed to solve the global problems of social injustice and to deal with the consequences of the ecological-economic crisis creatively? What must the education system be like, that it prepares us as adults to be less molded to existing conditions and therefore better able to see what needs to be changed for the future? Which activities in the classroom are necessary so that initiative and entrepreneurial will can develop for the realization of new ideas? What does an age-appropriate media education look like, for achieving maturity and competence in working with information technology? Regardless of what problem you are considering: What is needed are courage and confidence, health and joy for life. But how can school and the parental home create the conditions for these qualities to develop? This book is a plea for radically aligning upbringing and education with the requirements of children and adolescents for healthy development--not aligning at the wrong time with performance goals coming from business and government policy. In view of the increasing life expectancy worldwide, this is an urgent requirement--because a healthy physical-emotional-spiritual maturation is the best prerequisite for a creative life in old age. That is why the annual milestones of human development are at the centre of this book and are the basis for why everyone must have the right to education in the first eighteen years of their life--regardless of which school-leaving certificate they aspire to.

What Covid-19 Can Teach Us provides a detailed, highly readable analysis of the multi-dimensional Corona crisis, including: - immune-system resilience - PGR test reliability - successful alternative treatment approaches - risks and benefits of vaccination - fear's negative effect on immunity. Dr Thomas Hardtmuth offers an evidence-based holistic perspective, with the latest science recognising viruses not as 'enemies', but as vital for human evolution and health. Viruses are ubiquitous - millions are in and around us. Lack of physical or psychological balance increases our susceptibility to illness, while a focus on health, lacking in Corona narratives, affords maximal disease resilience - epidemics included. Hardtmuth carefully details such imbalances and how they reflect serious environmental issues: both need addressing. Open discussion on 'all things Corona' is urged, beyond the restrictions - even censorship - placed on debate. This needs also to interrogate the unhealthy relationships between politics, business and medicine. Book jacket.

About the Author\nDr. Michaela Glöckler has been Leader of the Medical Section at the Goetheanum, the School of Spiritual Science in Dornach, Switzerland since 1988. She attended the Waldorf School in Stuttgart, then studied German language, literature, and history in Freiburg and Heidelberg. She studied medicine in Tübingen and Marburg and trained as a pediatrician at the community hospital in Herdecke and at the Bochum University Pediatric Clinic. Until 1988 she was a colleague in the children’s outpatient clinic at the Community Hospital in Herdecke and served as school doctor for the Rudolf Steiner School in Witten, Germany. Michaela has many publications in German, many of which have been published in English.\nDr. Branko Furst, MD, has 45 years of experience in the field of medicine. He graduated from Ljubljana Medical School, Slovenia, in 1978, and completed his residency at The Middlesex Hospital in Connecticut. Dr. Furst is currently an Anesthesiology Specialist in Albany, New York. He is the author of The Heart and Circulation: An Integrative Model (2014). Dr. Furst is also a member of the board of directors for Anthroposophic Press/SteinerBooks.\n“When people follow their conscience and have the courage to speak the truth, even when it is unpopular, without the fear of stigmatization or exclusion, not only is the immune system strengthened but also people’s trust in the future.” ―Michaela Glöckler, MD\n“This timely book represents a breakthrough in phenomenological research that will provide far-reaching insights not only to those who are prompted by the current pandemic to ask deeper questions related to health and medical freedom, but also to all open-minded researchers in pursuit of bridging the mind–body divide.” ―Branko Furst, MD 
In Corona and the Human Heart, Dr. Glöckler offers new and inspiring perspectives on the significant role of the human heart in the development of the immune system, from early embryological growth to adulthood, as well as the importance this understanding has for the Covid crisis. The heart is intrinsically involved in the interplay between inner and outer, the dynamic boundary between self and the environment. At the same time, it is the center and lifeblood of the human organism, just as the Sun is for the living Earth. 
By exploring the wide fields of the heart’s functions, Dr. Glöckler sheds light on how immunity is integrally connected with the heart and the inner sense of self. If we disempower the individual through anxieties and fears or through dependence on outer authority, we reduce the confidence and strength of self. This leads in turn to a significantly reduced ability of the immune system to fend itself against outer influences, such as viruses and other pathogenetic influences. The author leads us on a path, showing how strengthening our inner spiritual life―our inner sun―will also strengthen our health and immunity and illumine riddles of conscience and common sense.
