Let Me Hijack Your Mind
Author: Alyque Padamsee
Publisher: Penguin Random House India Private Limited
ISBN: 9357086382
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
In this one-of-its-kind book by the late Alyque Padamsee, he invites us to re-examine and think afresh about some of our most deeply held beliefs, from love, marriage, terrorism, leadership, money, gender, faith to education. Let Me Hijack Your Mind is Alyque's parting gift to Indians, exhorting them to throw out the old and embrace new ways of approaching everything, which will lead them towards a more exciting and contented life-and a better society and country. It is a way to open windows in their mind to think about life aside from greed, power and money. This is a book designed to throw everyone off-balance in a good way, because it is crammed with fresh ideas on how to live, how to dream and how to completely reset our mindset and attitudes. As Alyque says in his inimitable style: 'Get people out of stuffy thinking.' Some of the provocative questions he asks are: - Why should marriage be 'till death do us part'? - Why are terrorists breaking the law of their very own holy books? - Why are multinational companies obsessed with GNP (Gross National Product) instead of GNH (Gross National Happiness)? - Why do men fear women? And why do women hate themselves? A fun, racy and often shocking read, the book busts some of the most well-known taboos, includes life hacks drawing on his experiences in advertising and theatre, as well as new 'commandments' for the present generation.

Ferenczi Dialogues
Author: Raluca Soreanu
Publisher: Leuven University Press
ISBN: 9462703523
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
Ferenczi Dialogues presents the contribution of Sándor Ferenczi to a psychoanalytic theory of trauma and discusses the philosophical, political and clinical implications of Ferenczi’s thinking. To a far greater extent than Freud, Sándor Ferenczi centered his psychoanalytic thought around trauma. Ferenczi's work pluralizes the notion of catastrophe, as being both destructive and a turning point. This book addresses Ferenczi’s work in terms of thinking in times of crises, by considering contemporary situations in constellation with various scenes from the past: the outbreak of the First World War, the crisis of psychoanalysis as an institution, the disastrous final encounter between Ferenczi and Freud, the rise of Fascism and National Socialism, and the impending exile of the founding members of the psychoanalytic movement. Against this backdrop, the authors show how Ferenczi's late work outlines a new metapsychology of fragments. Ferenczi Dialogues situates the legacy of Ferenczi within the broad interdisciplinary landscape of the social sciences, literary theory, psychoanalytic theory, and clinical practice, and highlights Ferenczi’s relevance for contemporary philosophical discussions in poststructuralism, feminism and new materialism.

Philosophy and Religion in Plato's Dialogues
Author: Andrea Nightingale
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108945031
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
In ancient Greece, philosophers developed new and dazzling ideas about divinity, drawing on the deep well of poetry, myth, and religious practices even as they set out to construct new theological ideas. Andrea Nightingale argues that Plato shared in this culture and appropriates specific Greek religious discourses and practices to present his metaphysical philosophy. In particular, he uses the Greek conception of divine epiphany - a god appearing to humans - to claim that the Forms manifest their divinity epiphanically to the philosopher, with the result that the human soul becomes divine by contemplating these Forms and the cosmos. Nightingale also offers a detailed discussion of the Eleusinian Mysteries and the Orphic Mysteries and shows how these mystery religions influenced Plato's thinking. This book offers a robust challenge to the idea that Plato is a secular thinker.

Among Murderers
Author: Sabine Heinlein
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520954777
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
What is it like for a convicted murderer who has spent decades behind bars to suddenly find himself released into a world he barely recognizes? What is it like to start over from nothing? To answer these questions Sabine Heinlein followed the everyday lives and emotional struggles of Angel Ramos and his friends Bruce and Adam—three men convicted of some of society’s most heinous crimes—as they return to the free world. Heinlein spent more than two years at the Castle, a prominent halfway house in West Harlem, shadowing her protagonists as they painstakingly learn how to master their freedom. Having lived most of their lives behind bars, the men struggle to cross the street, choose a dish at a restaurant, and withdraw money from an ATM. Her empathetic first-person narrative gives a visceral sense of the men’s inner lives and of the institutions they encounter on their odyssey to redemption. Heinlein follows the men as they navigate the subway, visit the barber shop, venture on stage, celebrate Halloween, and loop through the maze of New York’s reentry programs. She asks what constitutes successful rehabilitation and how one faces the guilt and shame of having taken someone’s life. With more than 700,000 people being released from prisons each year to a society largely unprepared—and unwilling—to receive them, this book provides an incomparable perspective on a pressing public policy issue. It offers a poignant view into a rarely seen social setting and into the hearts and minds of three unforgettable individuals who struggle with some of life’s harshest challenges.

Twits, Nitwits, and Misfits
Author: James O. Robinson
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412042577
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Real-life twits, nitwits, and misfits (TNMs) tend to annoy, antagonize, and alienate anyone with whom they associate. They can't help it. But the fictional oddball personalities featured in Twits, Nitwits, and Misfits - the book - could never inflict real-life trauma on anyone. So they're safe, and often even amusing, for the book's readers to hang out with page to page. TNM's behavioral patterns and habits often overlap and interlace. Even the author can't always distinguish twits from nitwits and misfits. That's because twits often behave like nitwits. Then, with minimal practice and some coaxing, they morph easily into lifelong societal misfits. The few average Joes depicted in this book are, of course, readily recognizable as welcome company. As an aside, the person who composed this book's foreword appears to be working at cross-purposes with the book's author. Although usually (ostensibly) written to tout a book's own merits, this foreword tends instead to tout and extensively catalogue it's own writer's talent, experience, and accomplishments. But, whatever the purpose, readers may believe this foreword could have been written by one of the fictional twits, nitwits, or misfits (or perhaps even one of the average Joes on a bad day) who populate the book itself. This book's 82 vignettes introduce a minihorde of dysfunctional or malfunctioning males and females. Desperation, turmoil, strife, conflict, despair, and instability - but thankfully, not yet pestilence - burden or perhaps even seem to overwhelm or traumatize their lives. Included among the book's dozens of fictional, difficult-to-cope-with characters are: Two sets of cross-dressing spouses... A 350-lb giant with chronic fatigue syndrome... Harry the Heister, who doubles as a panhandling pickpocket and a pickpocketing panhandler... Eddie Rostovitch and his very serious foot fetish... A horny goat-weed addict... The woman who wants to stuff her dead husband...

Throughout the year of 1995, a series of debates took place under the auspices of the Higher Education Network for Research and Information in Psychoanalysis.
