Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solitude, wanderlust, a thirst for love, for life, and for self- knowledge spin themselves into insomnia and drive Maria Diaz, a twenty-six year old Math teacher from Miami into a search for answers, which takes her into her own brain during sleep. It is a magic world where her id, her libido, her muses, and her conscience come alive and reveal her inner self: her agnosticism; her disdain for her overextended virginity; her disillusionment with her career and the curse and blessing of growing up with two cultures in the U.S. But the human brain takes back what it gives. All memory of the night's proceedings is confiscated upon awakening, except for minimal token wisps of dreams. Even so, she manages the Promethean task of bringing to light her dark world of sleep. How she steals the night's forbidden treasures and thus finds balance in her life is her story. The author, born Luis Eduardo Alban in Ecuador, S.A. in 1938, came to Savannah, Georgia in 1952, a city which has been home since then. He received his A.B. and PhD in Economics from the University of Georgia. His professional life has been entirely in academe, teaching Economics, Statistics and Quantitative methods. Since his retirement in 2000 he has traveled extensively in Europe and South America and has pursued his love for languages and literature, publishing poetry in regional literary periodicals and a compilation of short stories about words. This is his first novel. Married for 46 years to JoAnn Cool from Kansas, they now divide their year between Georgia and Kansas. They have two children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an absorbing account of a dialogue between leading Western scientists and the foremost representative of Buddhism today, the Dalai Lama of Tibet. For modern science, the transitional states of consciousness lie at the forefront of research in many fields. For a Buddhist practitioner these same states present crucial opportunities to explore and transform consciousness itself. This book is the account of a historic dialogue between leading Western scientists and the Dalai Lama of Tibet. Revolving around three key moments of consciousness--sleep, dreams, and death--the conversations recorded here are both engrossing and highly readable. Whether the topic is lucid dreaming, near-death experiences, or the very structure of consciousness itself, the reader is continually surprised and delighted. Narrated by Francisco Varela, an internationally recognized neuroscientist, the book begins with insightful remarks on the notion of personal identity by noted philosopher Charles Taylor, author of the acclaimed Sources of Self. This sets the stage for Dr. Jerome Engel, Dr. Joyce MacDougal, and others to engage in extraordinary exchanges with the Dalai Lama on topics ranging from the neurology of sleep to the yoga of dreams. Remarkable convergences between the Western scientific tradition and the Buddhist contemplative sciences are revealed. Dr. Jayne Gackenbach's discussion of lucid dreaming, for example, prompts a detailed and fascinating response from the Dalai Lama on the manipulation of dreams by Buddhist meditators. The conversations also reveal provocative divergences of opinion, as when the Dalai Lama expresses skepticism about "Near-Death Experiences" as presented by Joan Halifax. The conversations are engrossing and highly readable. Any reader interested in psychology, neuroscience, Buddhism, or the alternative worlds of dreams will surely enjoy Sleeping, Dreaming, and Dying.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A lovely weave of memory and science, great characters and compassionate humor” from the author of Sweat: A History of Exercise (Anne Lamott). We often think of sleep as mere stasis, a pause button we press at the end of each day. Yet sleep is full of untold mysteries—eluding us when we seek it too fervently, throwing us into surreal dream worlds when we don’t, sometimes even possessing our bodies so that they walk and talk without our conscious volition. Delving into the mysteries of his own sleep patterns, Bill Hayes marvels, “I have come to see that sleep itself tells a story.” An acclaimed journalist and memoirist—and partner of the late neurologist Oliver Sacks—Hayes has been plagued by insomnia his entire life. The science and mythology of sleep and sleeplessness form the backbone to Hayes’s narrative of his personal battles with sleep and how they colored his waking life, as he threads stories of fugitive sleep through memories of growing up in the closet, coming out to his Irish Catholic family, watching his friends fall ill during the early years of the AIDS crisis in San Francisco, and finding a lover. An erudite blend of science and personal narrative, Sleep Demons offers a poignant introduction to the topics for which Hayes has since become famous, including art, eros, city life, the history of medical science, and queer identity. “This intimate and beautifully written book brings scientific research alive in a heartfelt and deeply personal narrative.” —The Guardian “Memoir, history, and science come together and apart again in a book that reads very much like a dream.” —Out magazine

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you find yourself lying awake at night, ruminating about the events of the day? Do you toss and turn, worrying about what you have to do in the morning or what you did earlier in the day? If so, you are not alone. In fact, insomnia is the most common sleep disorder faced by the general population today. The most common complaint in those who have trouble sleeping is having a “noisy mind.” Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it seems like you cannot silence all the internal dialogue. So what do you do when your mind is spinning and your thoughts just won’t stop? Accessible, enjoyable, and grounded in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Goodnight Mind directly addresses the effects of rumination—or having an overactive brain—on your ability to sleep well. Written by two psychologists who specialize in sleep disorders, the book contains helpful exercises and insights into how you can better manage your thoughts at bedtime, and finally get some sleep. Traditional treatment for insomnia is usually focused on medications that promote sedation rather than on the behavioral causes of insomnia. Unfortunately, medication can often lead to addiction, and a host of other side effects. This is a great book for anyone who is looking for effective therapy to treat insomnia without the use of medication. This informative, small-format book is easy-to-read and lightweight, making it perfect for late-night reading.

This is the first time she speaks in depth about the dramatic, frightening changes she sees in her body"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It might reasonably be asked what the connection is between Francoises malapropisms in Proust and the erudite allusions of Stephens interior monologue in Joyce. Tribout-Joseph argues that they are indeed interrelated. Proust and Joyce are exemplary of Modernisms reconciliation of high literature with popular voices. Both writers explore the process of incorporation, the interface between speech and narrative. Fragments of discourse are taken from diverse sources and reoriented within new contexts. Proposed here are interconnected close readings of socio-political debate, body talk, listening processes, silences, intertextual echoes, cliche, register, conflated voices, chatter, gossip, eavesdropping, internalized debate, and misunderstandings which allow for a new configuration of the authors to emerge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THERE are many aspects about the person of God that we are so curious about and wish we knew. Some of those questions that ramble about in the hallways of our mind will only be satisfied in eternity. However, there is one thing for certain that can be known from the get-go. God is a talker! He is an eloquent communicator, and He loves to dialogue with His creation. From the first book of the Bible onward, God verbalizes His will, expectations, and love with mankind. This book examines with excitement every instance in Genesis where God talked to man or man talked to God. It is discovered that those occurrences greatly resemble contemporary social issues we face today, and that dialogue contains pertinent wisdom for us as well, and so we pray-we learn from them how to dialogue with Deity. RAYMOND GRANT is an essayist, exegete, and evangelist who has spent 30 years as a chaplain's assistant and teacher of Apologetics and Philosophy: He has degrees in theology (American Divinity School) and education (University of Portland). His works include ghost-writing, co-authoring, books on church administration, commentaries, text books and evangelistic tracts. He resides in Portland, Oregon.

Book excerpt: There is no better way to improve your sleep than to cultivate the attitude of a loving parent with a small child. For example, when it is time for the child to go to bed the parent says, “You have had a great day. You have played with all your toys, you did ‘this’ and you did ‘that’ but now it is time to go to sleep. Tomorrow is another day but right now it is time to go to sleep. Get into bed and make yourself comfortable.” They then repeat what they just said, “You have had a great day. You have played with all your toys, and you did ‘this’ and you did ‘that’. Tomorrow is another day but right now it is time to go to sleep. Turn over, close your eyes and go to sleep now.” But when the parent gets into bed they lie awake thinking and worrying to all hours of the night. If only they took the attitude of a loving parent with themself they would be off to sleep in no time at all. In this package you will learn how to use hypnosis to quieten the mind, slow down your energy, and gently drift off to sleep. This is not a cure for insomnia but if you should wake up in the night then you will be able to use the same procedures to quickly get back to sleep again.
