Book excerpt: In this New York Times bestseller, Isaac Lidsky draws on his experience of achieving immense success, joy, and fulfillment while losing his sight to a blinding disease to show us that it isn’t external circumstances, but how we perceive and respond to them, that governs our reality. Fear has a tendency to give us tunnel vision—we fill the unknown with our worst imaginings and cling to what’s familiar. But when confronted with new challenges, we need to think more broadly and adapt. When Isaac Lidsky learned that he was beginning to go blind at age thirteen, eventually losing his sight entirely by the time he was twenty-five, he initially thought that blindness would mean an end to his early success and his hopes for the future. Paradoxically, losing his sight gave him the vision to take responsibility for his reality and thrive. Lidsky graduated from Harvard College at age nineteen, served as a Supreme Court law clerk, fathered four children, and turned a failing construction subcontractor into a highly profitable business. Whether we’re blind or not, our vision is limited by our past experiences, biases, and emotions. Lidsky shows us how we can overcome paralyzing fears, avoid falling prey to our own assumptions and faulty leaps of logic, silence our inner critic, harness our strength, and live with open hearts and minds. In sharing his hard-won insights, Lidsky shows us how we too can confront life's trials with initiative, humor, and grace.

Book excerpt: To understand light and optics better, young Isaac Newton inserted a long needle "between my eye and the bone, as near to the backside of my eye as I could." Why take such a risk? Lucas Hnath reimagines the contentious, plague-ravaged world Newton inhabited in ISAAC'S EYE, exploring the dreams and longings that drove the rural farm boy to become one of the greatest thinkers in modern science.

There’s Isaac—someone who leads a group of survivors who are either on the run from those called the Rebellion or fighting against them to save their own lives. Then there’s Izoah—a god whom we know very little of as we see throughout the story that we never see this god’s true intentions. Is he one of evil or one of good?

This book was released on 1994 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jewish belief in the power of the "evil eye" - aroused and energized by emotions such as jealousy and mean-spiritedness - has been a common concern in Jewish life from earliest times. The everpresent fear of its malevolent power is expressed by the common Yiddish expression "kein ahoro," which means, literally, "without an evil eye." "Kein ahoro" is intended to ward off any potential evil eye when one speaks of one's favorable prospects. Sephardic Jews have been concerned with it as well, and, like the Ashkenazim, their Jewish ritual life has incorporated ways of protecting against it." "Dr. Ulmer's book examines this idea in its many permutations in Rabbinic literature. In particular, she examines its origin in people's negative emotions and its effects on its victims in many phases of life in causing death and sickness, for example, or its role in sexual transgression, etc. The Angel of Death is depicted as having many eyes, and early Jewish mystical literature depicts angels in general as covered with eyes. On the other hand, the "good eye" has many positive meanings, and these are discussed as well." "Dr. Ulmer's study provides the reader with a complete "view" of the numerous symbolic meanings which this most important sense organ has been given in Jewish culture." --Book Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shame, Pride, and Relational Trauma is a guide to recognizing the many ways shame and pride lie at the heart of psychotherapy with survivors of relational trauma. In these pages, readers learn how to differentiate shame and pride as emotional processes and traumatic mind/body states. They will also discover how understanding the psychodynamic and phenomenological relationships between shame, pride, and dissociation benefit psychotherapy with relational trauma. Next, readers are introduced to fifteen attitudes, principles, and concepts that guide this work from a transtheoretical perspective. Therapists will learn about ways to conceptualize and successfully navigate complex, patient-therapist shame dynamics, and apply neuroscientific findings to this challenging work. Finally, readers will discover how the concept and phenomena of pro-being pride, that is delighting in one's own and others' unique aliveness, helps patients transcend maladaptive shame and pride and experience greater unity within, with others, and with the world beyond.

Book excerpt: All the girls like his name: Bramble. It's the kind of name that would make Shirley Temple say "ouch" if she were bad. Eternally part infant, part wily adult, Bramble is a twentieth-century wanderer and adventurer who leads a vicarious, nomadic life across America and ironically finds himself on his way to Mars. Throughout his travels, Bramble becomes entangled in complications that require-and reveal-his sharp intelligence, coupled with an acute sense of absurdity, that enable him to survive. Bramble not only survives his confrontations with adversity, he thrives in his struggles with the realities of contemporary American life. Imbuing a dark sense of irony, Bramble, Infant Martian by author Donald L. Kaufmann, imagines the physical end of American men as the Machine Age wipes them out. Written against the backdrop of America's developing space exploration program, this science fiction novel shares how transformed men migrate beyond earth and use their wits and resources to survive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Silence of Heaven, the world renowned Israeli novelist Amos Oz introduces us to an extraordinary masterpiece of Hebrew literature that is just now appearing in English, S. Y. Agnon's Only Yesterday. For Oz, Agnon is a treasure trove of a world no longer available to today's writers, yet deeply meaningful for his wonderment about God, the submerged eroticism of his writing, and his juggling of multiple texts from the historical Hebrew religious library. This collection of Oz's reflections on Agnon, which includes an essay on the essence of his ideology and poetics, is a rich interpretive work that shows how one great writer views another. Oz admires Agnon especially for his ability to invoke and visualize the religious world of the simple folk in Eastern European Jewry, looking back from the territorial context of the Zionist revival in Palestine. The tragedy of Agnon's visions, Oz maintains, lies in his perspicacity. Long before the Holocaust, Agnon saw the degeneration, ruin, and end of Jewish culture in Eastern Europe. He knew, too, that the Zionist project was far from being a secure conquest and its champions far from being happy idealists. Oz explores these viewpoints in a series of thick readings that consider the tensions between faith and the shock of doubt, yearnings and revulsion, love and hate, and intimacy and disgust. Although Oz himself is interested in particular ideological questions, he has the subtle sensibility of a master of fiction and can detect every technical device in Agnon's arsenal. With the verve of an excited reader, Oz dissects Agnon's texts and subtexts in a passionate argument about the major themes of Hebrew literature. This book also tells much about Oz. It represents the other side of Oz's book of reportage, In the Land of Israel, this time exploring the ideologies of Jewish identity not on the land but in texts of the modern classical heritage. The Silence of Heaven hence takes us on a remarkable journey into the minds of two major literary figures.

Book excerpt: In the year of 1810, ten year old Gwen and her two younger brothers were orphaned when renegade Indians raided their farm, killing their parents and set fire to the cabin. They were spared from being killed because they were playing in the cornfield when the Indians struck. The children managed to rebuild a small portion of the cabin so they would have shelter in the winter months ahead. A man and his wife came to their farm and took over the cabin, making slaves of the children as they ate from the food stored in the root cellar and killed most of the chickens as well. It makes for serious, but sometimes amusing reading how the children got out of this situation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive treatment of visionary experience in some of the main texts of Jewish mysticism, this book reveals the overwhelmingly visual nature of religious experience in Jewish spirituality from antiquity through the late Middle Ages. Using phenomenological and critical historical tools, Wolfson examines Jewish mystical texts from late antiquity, pre-kabbalistic sources from the tenth to the twelfth centuries, and twelfth- and thirteenth-century kabbalistic literature. His work demonstrates that the sense of sight assumes an epistemic priority in these writings, reflecting and building upon those scriptural passages that affirm the visual nature of revelatory experience. Moreover, the author reveals an androcentric eroticism in the scopic mentality of Jewish mystics, which placed the externalized and representable form, the phallus, at the center of the visual encounter. In the visionary experience, as Wolfson describes it, imagination serves a primary function, transmuting sensory data and rational concepts into symbols of those things beyond sense and reason. In this view, the experience of a vision is inseparable from the process of interpretation. Fundamentally challenging the conventional distinction between experience and exegesis, revelation and interpretation, Wolfson argues that for the mystics themselves, the study of texts occasioned a visual experience of the divine located in the imagination of the mystical interpreter. Thus he shows how Jewish mystics preserved the invisible transcendence of God without doing away with the visual dimension of belief.

Book excerpt: God was not surprised by the sudden acceptance of His proposal. He knew that Abraham would no doubt say yes, but the true trial would be going through with the sacrifice. Seeing Abraham walk away abruptly prompted the Lord to get up as well to try and follow Abraham as he started to walk in any direction other then where he was, but God settled back to His seat noticing that Abraham was walking away for a reason. He wanted to be alone. Abraham answered the question out of haste and was immediately regretting the fact that he said he would do it. He had convinced himself that all he had to do was stall for time and sort out his thoughts. As Abraham walked away, staring in the white distance, his mind rolled over the same question over and over; how could I possibly do this? Coming to the conclusion that he had already agreed to the deed and that he could not deceive the one true God, Abraham put it out of his mind and decided to go along with the sacrifice until he could think of something to get him and Isaac out of harm's way.
