Hardcover. Condition: Good. "I used to believe that poetry did not speak to me, but I now see how wrong I was. I lived for 44 years with a husband, a lyricist, whose beautifully crafted, heartfelt lyrics touched my every fiber and continue to uplift and inspire me a decade after his death. The special beauty of Dr. Rosenthals book for me is his discussion of what each poem is saying, what the poet was likely feeling and often how the poems helped him personally, as when he left his birth family in South Africa for a rewarding career in the United States." - Jane Brody, Author & New York Times ColumnistPoetry to Heal, Inspire and EnjoyPoetry Rx presents 50 great poems as seen through the eyes of a renowned psychiatrist and New York Times bestseller. In this book, you will find insights into love, sorrow, ecstasy and everything in between: Love in the moment or for a lifetime; love that is fulfilling or addictive; when to break up and how to survive when someone breaks up with you.Separate sections deal with responses to the natural world, and the varieties of human experience (such as hope, reconciliation, leaving home, faith, self-actualization, trauma, anger, and the thrill of discovery). Other sections involve finding your way in the world and the search for meaning, as well as the final stages of life.In describing this multitude of human experiences, using vignettes from his work and life, Rosenthal serves as a comforting guide to these poetic works of genius. Through his writing, the workings of the mind, as depicted by these gifted writers speak to us as intimately as our closest friends.Rosenthal also delves into the science of mind and brain. Who would have thought, for example, that listening to poetry can cause people to have goosebumps by activating the reward centers of the brain? Yet research shows that to be true.And who were these fascinating poets? In a short biosketch that accompanies each poem, Rosenthal draws connections between the poets and their poems that help us understand the enigmatic minds that gave birth to these masterworks. Altogether, a fulfilling and intriguing must-read for anyone interested in poetry, the mind, self-help and genius.CONTENTSIntroductionPART ONELoving and LosingChapter OneIs There an Art to Losing?One Art by Elizabeth BishopChapter TwoCan Love Transform You?How do I love thee?

Hardcover. Condition: Good. The People Who Doubted You Are In for the Shock of Their LivesMitch Horowitz, a cross between Aleister Crowley and Alan Watts (Duncan Trussell), delivers this generations most literate and liberating self-help book in The Miracle Habits.Mitch shows how to foster a life of revolutionary self-direction through thirteen Miracle Habits-radical but workable commitments that allow you to Spend for Power (Habit 8), Get Away from Cruel People (Habit 6), Rule In Hell (Habit 13), and produce fortuitous events surpassing all expectation in career, creativity, relationships, charisma, and self-respect.This book, Mitch writes, is about more than cultivating sanctioned notions of success or acceptance. It is not about being 10% happier, good enough, or reorganizing your sock drawer. It is about fostering miracles. Not as a once-in-a-lifetime experience but as a recurring and natural part of life.Washington Post: Treats esoteric ideas and movements with an even-handed intellectual studiousness that is too often lost in todays raised-voice discussions.Paris Match:Convincingtakes us far from naive doctrines.David Lynch: Mitch is solid gold.
