Trods sit navn hader Julia Grahn julen. Måske ville det være anderledes, hvis hun havde nogen at fejre den med, men de eneste julegæster, hun kan se frem til, er Mr. Merlot og Monsieur Chardonnay. Derfor tager hun imod tilbuddet om at være kattepasser i et smukt gammelt stenhus i Visby på Gotland.Den nyskilte Petter Niklasson har også sit at kæmpe med. Hans skriveblokade er massiv, ekskonen vil pludselig tilbringe juledagene på Gotland med deres fælles datter – og så er han også blevet impotent. I et desperat forsøg på at genvinde kontrollen over sit liv beslutter han sig for at invitere sig selv med til Gotland for at fejre julen.Hvad Julia og Petter imidlertid ikke ved er, at de har modtaget det samme tilbud om logi på Gotland, og deres første møde bliver en gedigen katastrofe. Senere bliver det endnu værre – og så er der også en snestorm på vej ind over øen …Julen ifølge Julia er en underholdende romantisk komedie om at finde sig selv og kærligheden, når man mindst venter det. Om at blive skræmt af en julemand, om nysgerrige naboer og et snedækket Visby, hvor alt er muligt i den søde juletid.Pressen skriver:“Årets bedste juleroman.” – Och dagarna går, bogblogger“En herlig julekaramel af feelgood-dronningen Kristin Emilsson.” – ihyllan, bogblogger“Klassisk feelgood med masser af julestemning.” – Malins bokblogg“En rigtig romantisk komedie.” – Expressen Söndag"Jeg faldt pladask for denne charmerende julebog."– Nouw

As the townsfolk rush to hide from the beast within their high walls only Lottie wonders why the dragon is so fierce: could it just be lonely? The Mayor doesn t listen and calls on St Michael to slay the dragon. Can brave Lottie convince the great knight of her plan to save both the town and the dragon? This is a charming story about courage, defying expectations and looking beneath the surface which is perfect for sharing with younger children during Michaelmas, and all year round. The beautiful illustrations by Sandra Klaassen, creator of the much-loved picture books Uan the Little Lamb and Peg the Little Sheepdog, are lively, soft and enchanting"--Publisher's description.

"Are Eastern practices useful for psychological growth? Is psychoanalysis an aid on an Eastern path? Carl Gustav Jung had the realization of the existence of a center deep within our being, the Self, the discovery of which is the goal of individuation: the process of psychological development. Unable to find analogies to the Self in Christianity, he turned to Eastern religions, uncovering and finding a reflection of this miracle in Daoism and Hinduism, while also examining Buddhism and Sufism. Eastern paths and their practices, such as meditation, mindfulness, and yoga, have been absorbed into Western culture. It is thus timely to approach the contemporary relevance of Eastern religions and practices to the Jungian path of individuation. These essays are personal, engaging, and contain a refined analysis of whether these two paths may work together or are pointing to different end points.
