Sinopse

Cursed Objects Explained explores the captivating realm of artifacts believed to carry negative energy. It delves into the history, legends, and potential explanations behind these objects' sinister reputations. The book examines how historical events, psychological suggestibility (like the nocebo effect), and cultural narratives intertwine to instill objects with a reputation for misfortune. Did you know that the belief in animism, where spirits inhabit objects, has significantly shaped our perception of cursed items throughout history?

 
The book begins by defining cursed objects and exploring the psychology of belief. It then presents case studies of objects like ill-fated paintings and jewelry associated with bad luck, dissecting their histories and potential rational explanations. A key chapter examines cultural rituals that contribute to curse perceptions.

 
Ultimately, it discusses how our belief in cursed objects reflects our anxieties and influences our understanding of causality. This approach offers a multidisciplinary lens, combining historical analysis, psychological insights, and cultural perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of these phenomena.

    In this 2023 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, award-winning documentary filmmaker Dan Drasin explores scientific findings of the continuity of human consciousness beyond the physical brain and body. Drasin suggests that the “greater reality” beyond physical life might be analogous to an ocean, and the soul to a surfer’s wave that has form and endurance but is not separate from the ocean.  
    Many scientists posit that consciousness resides in the material brain, but Drasin explores the afterlife in light of what is now emerging, in some branches of science, as post-materialism. Related phenomena include messages from the “other side” that show up in electronic devices – sound recorders, television sets and computer screens. Drasin also describes how language acts as a filter in how we perceive the world. He says, “Language affects our perceptions and tends to reflect back to us our own cultural norms and presuppositions." This deep dialogue points out how we are surrounded by life beyond the physical. Matter vibrates at a lower frequency, thus we are able to perceive it with our senses. However, there is much that is constantly going on beyond the range of our ordinary senses. 
    Daniel Drasin is the author of A New Science of the Afterlife: Space, Time, and the Consciousness Code (Park Street Press 2023)

    This program is read by the author.The searing intimacy of Girl, Interrupted combined with the uncomfortable truths of The Empathy Exams in a collection of essays chronicling one woman’s experiences as both patient and caregiver, giving a unique perspective from both sides of the hospital bed.What does it cost to live?When we fall ill, our lives are itemized on a spreadsheet. A thousand dollars for a broken leg, a few hundred for a nasty cut while cooking dinner. Then there are the greater costs for even greater misfortunes. The car accidents, breast cancers, blood diseases, and dark depressions.When Emily Maloney was nineteen she tried to kill herself. An act that would not only cost a great deal personally, but also financially, sending her down a dark spiral of misdiagnoses, years spent in and out of hospitals and doctor’s offices, and tens of thousands owed in medical debt. To work to pay off this crippling burden, Emily becomes an emergency room technician. Doing the grunt work in a hospital, and taking care of patients at their most vulnerable moments, chronicling these interactions in searingly beautiful, surprising ways.Shocking and often slyly humorous, Cost of Living is a brilliant examination of just what exactly our troubled healthcare system asks us to pay, as well as a look at what goes on behind the scenes at our hospitals and in the minds of caregivers.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company.
