Download or read book Recovering Sanity written by Edward M. Podvoll and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2003-11-11 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recovering Sanity is a compassionately written examination of the experience of psychosis and related mental illnesses. By presenting four in-depth profiles of illness and recovery, Dr. Edward Podvoll reveals the brilliance and chaos of the psychotic mind and demonstrates its potential for recovery outside of traditional institutional settings. Dr. Podvoll counters the conventional thinking that the millions of Americans suffering from psychosis can never fully recover. He offers a bold new approach to treatment that involves home care with a specially trained team of practitioners. Using "basic attendance," a treatment technique inspired by the author's study of Buddhist psychology, healthcare professionals can use the tools of compassion and awareness to help patients recover their underlying sanity. Originally published as The Seduction of Madness, this reissue includes new introductory material and two new appendices.

Download or read book My Mortal Enemy written by Willa Cather and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-08-24 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1926, this book is Willa Cather's sparest and most dramatic novel, a dark and prescient portrait of a marriage that subverts our oldest notions about the nature of domestic happiness. As a young woman, Myra Henshawe gave up a fortune to marry for love--a boldly romantic gesture that became a legend in her family. But this worldly, sarcastic, and perhaps even wicked woman may have been made for something greater than love. In her portrait of Myra and in her exquisitely nuanced depiction of her marriage, Cather shows the evolution of a human spirit as it comes to bridle against the constraints of ordinary happiness and seek an otherwordly fulfillment. My Mortal Enemy is a work whose drama and intensely moral imagination make it unforgettable.

Download or read book Die Wise written by Stephen Jenkinson and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Wise does not offer seven steps for coping with death. It does not suggest ways to make dying easier. It pours no honey to make the medicine go down. Instead, with lyrical prose, deep wisdom, and stories from his two decades of working with dying people and their families, Stephen Jenkinson places death at the center of the page and asks us to behold it in all its painful beauty. Die Wise teaches the skills of dying, skills that have to be learned in the course of living deeply and well. Die Wise is for those who will fail to live forever. Dying well, Jenkinson writes, is a right and responsibility of everyone. It is not a lifestyle option. It is a moral, political, and spiritual obligation each person owes their ancestors and their heirs. Die Wise dreams such a dream, and plots such an uprising. How we die, how we care for dying people, and how we carry our dead: this work makes our capacity for a village-mindedness, or breaks it.

If I could just figure out how to make that rhyme, it would be the beginning of a great country song."

Download or read book Back to Sanity written by Steve Taylor and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever thought that there might be something wrong with human beings, even that we might be slightly insane? Why is it that so many human beings are filled with a restless discontent, and an insatiable desire for material goods, status and power? Why is it that human history has been filled with endless conflict, oppression and inequality? In this ground-breaking and inspiring book, Steve Taylor shows that we do suffer from a psychological disorder, which he refers to as humania, or ego-madness. This disorder is so close to us that we don't realize it's there, but it's the root cause of all our dysfunctional behaviour, both as individuals and as a species. Back to Sanity explains the characteristics of humania, where it stems from and how it leads to the madness of materialism, status-seeking, warfare, inequality and other symptoms of our insanity. But equally importantly, Back to Sanity shows how we can heal this mental disorder and allow the fleeting moments of harmony that we all experience from time to time to become our permanent state of being.
Download or read book Society and Sanity written by F. J. Sheed and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2013-03-31 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If there are two words that seem not to fit together they are "society" and "sanity." Spend twenty minutes on the freeway or ten minutes reading the newspaper, or ponder the religious and political conflicts in some regions of the world, and you will understand the point. Yet if people are to thrive--to live fully and together in peace-- we must have sanity when it comes to society. And that requires sanity when it comes to thinking about man. Sanity involves seeing things as they really are. Social sanity requires seeing man as he really is--to grasp who and what human beings are and what sort of social arrangements help or hinder human flourishing. In this classic work, Society and Sanity, Catholic thinker Frank Sheed brings his brilliant mind and lucid writing style to bear on the good human society. By explaining perennial truths about human nature based on the wisdom of Catholic social ethics, Sheed's book is as pertinent today with our controversies about love, the nature of marriage, the role of government, the relationship of law and morality and of Church and State, and the duties of the citizen, as when he penned the work over a half a century ago.

Again I was forced to silence through sheer awe. The prospect of such antiquity, and the secrets each hoary monument seemed to hold and brood over, filled me with a reverence and sense of immensity nothing else ever gave me.Fatigued by our climb, and disgusted with the importunate Bedouins whose actions seemed to defy every rule of taste, we omitted the arduous detail of entering the cramped interior passages of any of the pyramids, though we saw several of the hardiest tourists preparing for the suffocating crawl through Cheops' mightiest memorial. As we dismissed and overpaid our local bodyguard and drove back to Cairo with Abdul Reis under the afternoon sun, we half regretted the omission we had made. Such fascinating things were whispered about lower pyramid passages not in the guide books; passages whose entrances had been hastily blocked up and concealed by ce...
Download or read book The Other Side of Sanity written by Daniel Shepley and published by Dsw Publishing. This book was released on 2019-04-19 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by a true story, pushed to the brink of murder and suicide by the therapists he trusted with his secrets, "The Other Side of Sanity" is Daniel Shepley's harrowing account of James Snyder's - Shepley's fictionalized version of himself in the novel - rapid descent into, and gradual emergence from, psychosis and madness. It is a disturbing vision of manipulation and betrayal by the people he entrusted to help him recover. Snyder finds himself in a mental health system under the care of a woman who begins his treatment indifferent to his problems and then more than indifferent, in fact, becomes cruelly manipulative and destructive. The deep and dangerously psychotic state James enters as a result of his incompetent treatment includes ideas of, and plans for, murder and suicide. It is a story all too tragically common in America today: a disturbed young man, filled with an inexplicable rage, who turns that rage outward and murders. Snyder at first finds little hope and little help until he discovers his guide through the dark woods of mental illness, Dr. Solomon Janowitz. It is with Janowitz's patience and kindness that James emerges and assumes the healthy and productive life of a man not "cured," but healing. It is a remarkable and courageous tale of darkness and light, despair and recovery. In its telling, Shepley has created in Snyder and Janowitz characters of a touching and profoundly moving humanity.
