Download or read book Irreparable written by Mark Gerardot and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's the age-old tale of a straying husband, a woman scorned, and two dead bodies-or is it? By morning, the headlines and stories had circled the globe full of half-truths, misinformation and a potential coverup. The cheating husband who had driven his wife to such madness became the official account, forever etched into the annals of history.Yet the whole story of this brutal murder-suicide would lie hidden for months, only to be uncovered by Mark Gerardot himself in his aching quest to know what had led Jennair, his wife of 24 years, to such a violent act. In the process, he uncovers mounds of shocking proof of a wife's madness that was building for decades-one that had culminated in an unprecedented level of tracking and surveillance as she prepared to carry out her final act of revenge.Full of factual dialogue from hours of audio files, Irreparable recounts the intimate details of three people's lives, now forever linked, and seeks to move beyond labels, to equally honor the truth of all three souls impacted by the tragedy. More than an enthralling true-crime story, Irreparable is a memoir of a tumultuous marriage, a love affair, and one man's desperate efforts to reexamine the past as he recounts precious memories and early signs of trouble from the woman he knew and loved, but whose spiraling loss of control amid the high-tech surveillance she pursued took hold of her mind and life. Taking accountability for the choices he made, the signs he missed, and the better man he wishes to become Mark Gerardot reveals the truth and finds his way to a new life.

Download or read book Ars Vitae written by Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the flood of self-help guides and our current therapeutic culture, feelings of alienation and spiritual longing continue to grip modern society. In this book, Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn offers a fresh solution: a return to classic philosophy and the cultivation of an inner life. The ancient Roman philosopher Cicero wrote that philosophy is ars vitae, the art of living. Today, signs of stress and duress point to a full-fledged crisis for individuals and communities while current modes of making sense of our lives prove inadequate. Yet, in this time of alienation and spiritual longing, we can glimpse signs of a renewed interest in ancient approaches to the art of living. In this ambitious and timely book, Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn engages both general readers and scholars on the topic of well-being. She examines the reappearance of ancient philosophical thought in contemporary American culture, probing whether new stirrings of Gnosticism, Stoicism, Epicureanism, Cynicism, and Platonism present a true alternative to our current therapeutic culture of self-help and consumerism, which elevates the self’s needs and desires yet fails to deliver on its promises of happiness and healing. Do the ancient philosophies represent a counter-tradition to today’s culture, auguring a new cultural vibrancy, or do they merely solidify a modern way of life that has little use for inwardness—the cultivation of an inner life—stemming from those older traditions? Tracing the contours of this cultural resurgence and exploring a range of sources, from scholarship to self-help manuals, films, and other artifacts of popular culture, this book sees the different schools as organically interrelated and asks whether, taken together, they can point us in important new directions. Ars Vitae sounds a clarion call to take back philosophy as part of our everyday lives. It proposes a way to do so, sifting through the ruins of long-forgotten and recent history alike for any shards helpful in piecing together the coherence of a moral framework that allows us ways to move forward toward the life we want and need.
