Stash: My Life in Hiding
by Laura Cathcart Robbins&“An emotionally absorbing and swiftly paced multisensory experience.&” —The New York Times Book ReviewNamed a Best Memoir of 2023 by Elle In the vein of Somebody&’s Daughter, this wild, vivid addiction memoir from the host of the podcast The Only One in the Room &“will inspire, awe, entertain, educate, and help so many readers&” (Christie Tate, New York Times bestselling author) with a journey to sobriety and self-love amidst privilege and racism.After years of hiding her addiction from everyone—stockpiling pills in her Louboutins and elaborately scheduling her withdrawals between PTA meetings, baby showers, and tennis matches—Laura Cathcart Robbins is running out of places to hide. She has learned the hard way that even her high-profile marriage and Hollywood lifestyle can&’t protect her from the pain she&’s keeping bottled up inside. Facing divorce, the possibility of a grueling custody battle, and the insistent voice of internalized racism that nags at her as a Black woman in a startlingly white world, Laura wonders just how much more she can take. Now, with courageous and candid openness, she reveals how she started the long journey towards sobriety, unexpectedly found new love, and dismantled the wall she had built around herself, brick by brick. With its raw, finely crafted, and engaging prose, Stash is &“emotionally riveting…usher[ing] in a new way for us to talk and read about the paradoxes of addiction, race, family, class, and gender.&” (Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy).
The State Of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity - a book for anyone who has ever loved
by Esther Perel***NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*** Is there such a thing as an affair-proof marriage? Is it possible to love more than one person at once? Why do people cheat? Can an affair ever help a marriage?Infidelity is the ultimate betrayal. But does it have to be? Relationship therapist Esther Perel examines why people cheat, and unpacks why affairs are so traumatic; because they threaten our emotional security. In infidelity, she sees something unexpected - an expression of longing and loss. A must-read for anyone who has ever cheated or been cheated on, or who simply wants a new framework for understanding relationships.'Esther Perel does nothing short of strip us of our deepest biases, remind us of our purpose in connecting as lovers, and save relationships that might otherwise sink into the sea-all with even-handed wisdom, fresh morality, and wise prose.

The State Of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity - a book for anyone who has ever loved
by Esther Perel'Beautiful. A brilliantly intelligent plea for complexity, understanding, and - as always - kindness.' Alain de Botton'Esther Perel does nothing short of strip us of our deepest biases, remind us of our purpose in connecting as lovers, and save relationships that might otherwise sink into the sea-all with even-handed wisdom, fresh morality, and wise prose. Thank heavens for this woman.'Lena Dunham, author of Not That Kind of GirlIconic couples' therapist and bestselling author Esther Perel returns with a provocative look at relationships through the lens of infidelity.Psychologist Esther Perel provides the insight we so desperately need to help us move beyond a simplistic discussion of infidelity.An affair: it can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. Adultery has existed since marriage was invented, and so too have the prohibitions against it - in fact, adultery has a tenacity that marriage can only envy. And yet, this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood.What are we to make of this time-honored taboo - universally forbidden yet universally practiced? Why do people cheat? When we say 'infidelity', what exactly do we mean? Is there such a thing as an affair-proof marriage? Is it possible to love more than one person at once? Can an affair ever help a marriage? Psychotherapist Esther Perel is recognised as one of the most insightful and original voices on modern love. For the past ten years, she has worked with hundreds of couples who have grappled with infidelity. Betrayal hurts, she argues, but healing is possible. An affair can even be the doorway to a new marriage - with the same person. With the right approach, couples can learn from these tumultuous experiences, together or apart. Weaving real-life stories with incisive psychological and cultural analysis, Perel invites readers into a truly revealing exploration of modern marriage.(P)2017 HarperCollins Publishers
The State of Disbelief: A story of death, love and forgetting
by Juliet Rosenfeld'A beautifully written, profoundly moving and immersive account of grief that will bring solace.' - Louise France, The TimesA revelatory book about death and mourning by a psychotherapist faced with sudden bereavement.When Juliet Rosenfeld’s husband dies of lung cancer only seven months into their marriage, everything she has learnt about death as a psychotherapist is turned on its head.As she attempts to navigate her way through her own devastating experience of loss, Rosenfeld turns to her battered copy of Freud’s seminal essay 'Mourning and Melancholia'. Inspired by the distinction Freud draws between the savage trauma of loss that occurs at the moment of death - grief - and the longer, unpredictable evolution of that loss into something that we call mourning, Rosenfeld finds herself dramatically rethinking the commonly held therapeutic idea of 'working through stages of grief'.This is a beautifully written meditation on what the investment of love means and how to find your own path after bereavement in order for life to continue.

Stations of the Light: Renewing the Ancient Christian Practice of the Via Lucis as a Spiritual Tool for Today
by Mary Ford-GrabowskyThis is the first book to introduce the fourteen joyful and highly symbolic events that make up the Via Lucis, the Christian Way of Light, an ancient spiritual tradition celebrating the post-Resurrection life of Christ on Earth. The Stations of the Light, with its "good news" of healing and salvation, is becoming an increasingly popular devotion throughout the United States and the world, and was recognized by the Vatican in its Jubilee 2000 campaign. While Christians of all denominations are familiar with the Stations of the Cross, few know how to celebrate the Stations of the Light, a practice that came into being through inspiration from ancient Roman sources. Stations of the Light is a clear and inspiring guide to making this ancient ritual part of contemporary Christian life. The stations mark the fourteen sacred events in the post-Easter story, from "Jesus Rises from the Dead" to "Pentecost: The Risen Lord Sends the Holy Spirit." For each one, Mary Ford-Grabowsky presents a variety of spiritual practices that invite readers to form their own realistic and sacred image of the event. Beginning with relaxation and releasing the imagination, these exercises are designed to help convey the story and foster inspiration, and include ancient and contemporary meditations, reflections, and prayers; as well as journal writing, artwork, music, and mantras.
Stato di Sogno - Una Teoria di Cospirazione
by Gloria Corsini Jed MckennaSe la vita è un sogno, da cosa dobbiamo svegliarci? La premessa centrale di Stato di Sogno: Una Teoria di Cospirazione, è l’affermazione certamente ridicola ma incontrovertibilmente vera che l’universo non esiste. Questo è qualcosa che si può capire concettualmente, come guardare un documentario sull’Antartide, o sperimentalmente, come andando in Antartide. C’è anche un fenomeno correlato in cui ci si addormenta guardando il documentario e ci si sveglia nel deserto ghiacciato. Dev’essere strano, ma la verità è che ti sei addormentato in un deserto arido sognando che non lo eri, così è lì che il risveglio ti raggiunge.
