Book Description
Casey Gordon is lean and limber, a 17-year-old senior at Westfield High School. Casey is a bright, energetic, caring girl but she seems to need to be hurt. She injures herself a little too much in track competitions and she always falls in love with real losers. She doesn’t really understand the conflicts inside of her and the feelings of unworthiness that set her up to get involved with Paul VanHorn. Paul is nineteen, and he graduated—under a cloud of scandal—from her high school the year before. Instead of going to college, he does construction work. A mysterious, attractive boy just over six feet and powerfully built, he is well-read, intelligent, and even romantic. He charms Casey and he pays attention to her deepest needs. But he comes from a terrible home—his father is an abusive alcoholic and his mother a submissive, suffering victim.

Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
"Wonderful... Physicans would do well to learn this most important lesson about caring for patients." —The New York Times Book Review Over the years that Victoria Sweet has been a physician, “healthcare” has replaced medicine, “providers” look at their laptops more than at their patients, and costs keep soaring, all in the ruthless pursuit of efficiency. Yet the remedy that economists and policy makers continue to miss is also miraculously simple. Good medicine takes more than amazing technology; it takes time—time to respond to bodies as well as data, time to arrive at the right diagnosis and the right treatment. Sweet knows this because she has learned and lived it over the course of her remarkable career. Here she relates unforgettable stories of the teachers, doctors, nurses, and patients through whom she discovered the practice of Slow Medicine, in which she has been both pioneer and inspiration. Medicine, she helps us to see, is a craft and an art as well as a science. It is relational, personal, even spiritual. To do it well requires a hard-won wisdom that no algorithm can replace—that brings together “fast” and “slow” in a truly effective, efficient, sustainable, and humane way of healing.

The Sweet Spot
Author: Paul Bloom
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062910582
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
“This book will challenge you to rethink your vision of a good life. With sharp insights and lucid prose, Paul Bloom makes a captivating case that pain and suffering are essential to happiness. It’s an exhilarating antidote to toxic positivity.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife One of Behavioral Scientist's "Notable Books of 2021" From the author of Against Empathy, a different kind of happiness book, one that shows us how suffering is an essential source of both pleasure and meaning in our lives Why do we so often seek out physical pain and emotional turmoil? We go to movies that make us cry, or scream, or gag. We poke at sores, eat spicy foods, immerse ourselves in hot baths, run marathons. Some of us even seek out pain and humiliation in sexual role-play. Where do these seemingly perverse appetites come from? Drawing on groundbreaking findings from psychology and brain science, The Sweet Spot shows how the right kind of suffering sets the stage for enhanced pleasure. Pain can distract us from our anxieties and help us transcend the self. Choosing to suffer can serve social goals; it can display how tough we are or, conversely, can function as a cry for help. Feelings of fear and sadness are part of the pleasure of immersing ourselves in play and fantasy and can provide certain moral satisfactions. And effort, struggle, and difficulty can, in the right contexts, lead to the joys of mastery and flow. But suffering plays a deeper role as well. We are not natural hedonists—a good life involves more than pleasure. People seek lives of meaning and significance; we aspire to rich relationships and satisfying pursuits, and this requires some amount of struggle, anxiety, and loss. Brilliantly argued, witty, and humane, Paul Bloom shows how a life without chosen suffering would be empty—and worse than that, boring.

Shout It Out Loud

Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
How does an underground oddity become a cultural phenomenon? For over 40 years, the rock band Kiss has galvanized the entertainment world with an unparalleled blitz of bravado, theatricality, and shameless merchandizing, garnering generations of loyally rabid fans. But if not for a few crucial months in late 1975 and early 1976, Kiss may have ended up nothing more than a footnote. Shout It Out Loud is a serious examination of the circumstance and serendipity that fused the creation of the band's seminal work, Destroyer – including the band's arduous ascent to the unexpected smash hit, Alive!, the ensuing lawsuits between its management and its label, the pursuit of the hot, young producer, a grueling musical “boot camp ” the wildly creative studio abandon, the origins behind an iconic cover, the era's most outlandish tour, and the unlikely string of hit singles. Extensive research from the period and insights into each song are enhanced by hundreds of archived materials and dozens of interviews surrounding the mid-'70s-era Kiss and its zeitgeist. New interviews with major principals in the making of an outrageously imaginative rock classic animate this engaging tale.

ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
The human body, a marvel of biological engineering, houses within it a complex network of systems that govern our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Among these systems, the sexual system holds a unique place, shrouded in both fascination and mystery. From the intimate act of intercourse to the esoteric concept of Kundalini awakening, this system encompasses a vast spectrum of experiences, each with profound implications for our lives. This short book invites you on a journey of exploration into the depths of the sexual system, delving into its psychological dimensions and unraveling the unsolved mysteries that surround it. Through a blend of scientific research, philosophical inquiry, and personal narratives, we will examine the intricate interplay between the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of sexuality. We will begin by exploring the biological foundations of the sexual system, examining the anatomy and physiology that underpin our sexual experiences. But this is just the beginning. We will then delve into the psychological dimensions of sexuality, exploring the complex emotions, desires, and identities that shape our understanding of ourselves and our relationships. As we journey deeper, we will encounter the enigmatic concept of Kundalini awakening, a spiritual experience that has captivated seekers for millennia. We will examine the various interpretations of Kundalini and its potential role in personal transformation and spiritual growth. Ultimately, this book aims to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the sexual system, one that goes beyond the superficial and explores the depths of its psychological and spiritual significance. By unraveling the mysteries that surround this fascinating aspect of human experience, we hope to empower individuals to embrace their sexuality with greater awareness, authenticity, and fulfillment. *All chapters in this book were originally part of our earlier work; 'Kundalini Science' series' 'Spiritual Psychology' books, and also a sub-book derived from this series, Purana riddles. If you enjoyed these, you'll find more in the full compilation.*
