Although readers will probably figure out the mystery long before the protagonist does, the exotic settings and the wacky predicaments will exercise a strong enough grip to hold readers' imaginations. Her rapid succession of crises, while jaw-dropping, appears more plausible than the family secret that is revealed bit by bit during the course of their travels. The more humiliations and unwanted surprises Vassar endures, the more likable she becomes, shedding pride and primness along with her obsessive reliance on routine. So instead of enrolling in AP courses in summer school, Vassar finds herself hiking through jungles with Grandma Gerd and an Asian cowboy chaperone, and battling food poisoning, venom-carrying critters and primitive tribes (one of which holds Vassar hostage). Squat toilets, profuse sweating, bamboo huts, jumbo centipedes-these are just some of the delights Autumn Cornwell has encountered in her. Valedictorian hopeful Vassar Spore has her summer all planned out when her bohemian grandmother somehow blackmails her Type A parents into letting her take Vassar backpacking through Malaysia, Cambodia and Laos. Take a traveler as reluctant as Anne Tyler's accidental tourist and add the number of misadventures found in The Out-of-Towners,Īnd you have the recipe for Cornwell's hilarious, adventure-packed first novel. Jud Brewer, the director of research and innovation at Brown University’s Mindfulness Center, turned to it repeatedly when he was starting to meditate, and he frequently recommends it to beginners, he said. Written in 1994, the book presents a clear picture of mindfulness and meditation and provides insights on how to begin a practice. This straightforward and accessible guide, written by the Sri Lankan Buddhist monk playfully nicknamed Bhante G, is a favorite among meditation teachers and scientists alike. 1. “Mindfulness in Plain English” by Bhante Henepola Gunaratana This is, by no means, an exhaustive list, but these titles might help you cultivate a practice. So we asked half a dozen meditation experts - teachers, spiritual leaders and scientists - about their favorite beginner-friendly books. And that is how people “tend to get into trouble,” she said. But, with so many options, it’s easy to reach for titles that aren’t meant for beginners, said Sara Lazar, director of the Lazar Lab for Meditation Research at Massachusetts General Hospital. If you’re interested in learning to meditate, you might look for a book. But research shows that meditating regularly, for even a few minutes a day, can reduce anxiety and help us recognize and interrupt negative thought patterns. We’re so often summoned by smartphone notifications, emails and other obligations that sitting still can seem like a fantasy. "Native people made their own history and were agents of change as much as anyone else in this country even though they were disadvantaged."ĭavid Treuer, professor of English at University of Southern California and the author of a number of books including 'Rez Life: An Indian's Journey through Reservation Life,' will also join the discussion. "What we now know is that tragic things happened, but they weren't tragic figures," she said. It was truly a voice of native people."Ĭhild said the book's problem is its portrayal of native people as tragic figures. There hadn't been a critical look at how this population was treated and what this book did was examine a number of different tribal histories and tell some of those stories from the documents of the tribes themselves. "In anything the general public read Indians were portrayed as being backward, uncivilized. "You have to remember that the subtitle is 'An Indian History' and the narrative at that time didn't include American Indians and their interpretations of that history," she said. We continue our look at titles from the Library of Congress' 88 Books that Shaped America list with Dee Brown's 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.'īrenda Child, associate professor in the University of Minnesota's Department of American Studies, will join The Daily Circuit Tuesday. Specific technical suggestions are made regarding analytic work with overwhelm. A detailed clinical example illustrates how overwhelm may make itself known in the clinical encounter, and how it can infiltrate the transference/countertransference. Overwhelm entails risk, and under some circumstances it may open up space toward significant psychic transformations. Overwhelm is a state of dysregulation that can be confused with, but is not the same as, repetition compulsion. When the psychic economy of the infantile sexual is followed to its apex, a particular kind of state is produced that I call overwhelm-a word that is used here as a noun. Processes described in depth here suggest that passibility has ties to the rousing of infantile sexuality (Freud) and to the subject's normative perversity (Laplanche). Limit consent involves a more nuanced negotiation of limits and becomes possible when the subject makes herself passible (Lyotard 1988) to an other-a condition that is neither active nor passive. This essay proposes limit consent, a concept that offers us different ways to think about the sexual-and about the analytic encounter. The concept of affirmative consent presumes a subject who is fully transparent to herself and who can anticipate the precise effects of her assent. ‘ To eat of the fruit means to leave the garden because the fruit speaks of other things, other longings.’ Winterson lives in Gloucestershire and London.
