Sinopsis

Step into the compelling narrative that delves into the tapestry of the Kennedy dynasty, unraveling their ascent to unprecedented national and global eminence. "Power & Ambition: The Kennedy Family and the Tragedy of an American Dynasty" is a meticulously researched book that vividly portrays ambition, triumph, and tragedy. This book meticulously traces the Kennedy family's journey from humble Irish roots to the corridors of power. Anchored by Joseph P. Kennedy's unyielding ambition to shield his kin from the turbulent tides of discrimination, this work explores how his aspirations birthed a legacy that reshaped American history. Among their accomplishments, however, were a series of sad tragedies, ranging from whispered rumors of bootlegging to the heartbreaking threat of mental infirmity, from terrifying plane disasters to haunting echoes of assassinations. This book unravels the catastrophe threads that seemed to follow the Kennedys, weaving together historical, sociological, and psychological insights to untangle the enigmatic Kennedy "curse."

    The Homeland actress’s “recollections of her unconventional youth in war-torn Beirut are heartbreaking yet humorous . . . in this unique” memoir (Publishers Weekly).   Raised in 1970s Lebanon on Charles Baudelaire, A Clockwork Orange, and fine Bordeaux, Darina Al-Joundi was encouraged by her unconventional father to defy all taboos. She spent her adolescence defying death in Beirut nightclubs as bombs fell across the city. The more oppressive the country became, the more drugs and anonymous sex she had, fueling the resentment directed at her daily by the same men who would spend the night with her.   As the war dies down, she begins to incur the consequences of her lifestyle. On his deathbed, her father’s last wish is for his favorite song, “Sinnerman” by Nina Simone, to be played at his funeral instead of the traditional suras of the Koran. When she does just that, the final act of defiance elicits a catastrophic response from her surviving family members.   In this dramatic true story, Darina Al-Joundi is defiantly passionate about living her life as a liberated woman, even if it means leaving everyone and everything behind in this “beautifully taut and relentlessly unemotional” memoir (Kirkus).

    From where do attachment and detachment come? - 24 August 1965  
    • What is the relationship of the brain to the totality of the mind? 
    • Fear of not being, fear of isolation, fear of not having pleasure, fear of having 
    no relationship, is the soil from which the stem of contradiction grows. 
    • I want to be free of this stem to see what happens if there is no attachment, no 
    detachment, because I am not afraid. 
    • Is there a peace with no entity saying, ‘I am peaceful’?

    "Show[s] how deep reading habits help us manage distraction and bring about individual and communal flourishing."--Christianity Today 
     
    This book helps readers develop practices that will result in deep, formative, and faithful reading so they can contribute to the flourishing of their communities and cultivate their own spiritual and intellectual depth.  
     
    The authors present reading as a remedy for three prevalent cultural vices--distraction, hostility, and consumerism--that impact the possibility of formative reading. Informed by James K. A. Smith's work on "the spiritual power of habit," Deep Reading provides resources for engaging in formative and culturally subversive reading practices that teach readers how to resist vices, love virtue, and desire the good. 
     
    Rather than emphasizing the spiritual benefits of reading specific texts such as Dante's Divine Comedy or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the authors focus on the practice of reading itself. They examine practices many teachers, students, and avid readers employ--such as reading lists, reading logs, and discussion--and demonstrate how such practices can be more effectively and intentionally harnessed to result in deep reading. The practices apply to any work that is meant to be read deeply.
