Synopsis

In "Chinese Mettle," E. G. Kemp masterfully weaves a narrative that delves into the intricate interplay between tradition and modernity in contemporary China. Utilizing a unique blend of poetic prose and vivid imagery, Kemp captures the resilience of the Chinese spirit amidst rapid socio-economic transformations. The book is anchored in a rich literary context that reflects China's tumultuous history, featuring characters whose journeys echo both the trials faced by the nation and the enduring weight of ancestral heritage. Each chapter unfolds like a carefully constructed tapestry, inviting readers to contemplate the complex dynamics of identity, ambition, and cultural pride. E. G. Kemp, a scholar of East Asian studies with a profound interest in Chinese culture, draws upon his extensive travels and immersive experiences within the country. His academic background and deep appreciation for Chinese philosophy and literature empower him to explore themes of resilience and fortitude, infusing the narrative with authenticity and insight. Kemp's previous works have similarly addressed the intersections of Eastern and Western thought, establishing him as a vital voice in contemporary literary discourse. "Chinese Mettle" is recommended for readers seeking a profound exploration of modern Chinese identity and the universal themes of determination and resilience. Kemp's eloquent prose not only captivates but also enlightens, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of contemporary China and the enduring spirit of its people.

    Self-as-context is one of the most important of the six core processes of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), yet it is also one of the least understood. Many therapists struggle to fully implement it in their practice—perhaps due to a lack of concrete techniques for real world application—or they may become stuck when facing roadblocks in-session. So how can you gain a deeper understanding of self-as-context as a behavior and learn practical interventions for empowering clients with this essential capacity? 
    Self-as-Context in Therapy takes a challenging concept and translates it into an accessible, actionable process for helping clients cultivate a more flexible self and take valued action. You will start with an exploration of how the self develops, and the clinical implications of inhibiting factors in this process. 
    Finally, the book offers simple strategies to train clients in self-as-context, so they can integrate key lessons and techniques into their daily lives. 
    If you're looking for resources to help your clients embrace new possibilities and move toward a life more deeply aligned with their values, this comprehensive guide can help you get started.

    The Republic is a Socratic dialogue, authored by Plato around 375 BCE, concerning justice, the order and character of the just city-state, and the just man.It is Plato's best-known work, and one of the world's most influential works of philosophy and political theory, both intellectually and historically. 
    In the dialogue, Socrates discusses the meaning of justice and whether the just man is happier than the unjust man with various Athenians and foreigners. He considers the natures of existing regimes and then proposes a series of hypothetical cities in comparison, culminating in Kallipolis , a utopian city-state ruled by a philosopher-king. They also discuss ageing, love, theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the role of the philosopher and of poetry in society. The dialogue's setting seems to be the time of the Peloponnesian War

    In childhood, Bell Hooks was taught that "talking back" meant speaking as an equal to an authority figure and daring to disagree and/or have an opinion. In this collection of personal and theoretical essays, Hooks reflects on her signature issues of racism and feminism, politics and pedagogy. Among her discoveries is that moving from silence into speech is for the oppressed, the colonized, the exploited, and those who stand and struggle side by side, a gesture of defiance that heals, making new life and new growth possible.

    A heartfelt guide for meeting difficult times with mindfulness, compassion, and courage—from a psychotherapist and Buddhist practitioner who learned from her own crisis. 
     
     
     
    Using personal examples from her own recent bardo crisis—undergoing cancer treatment during the pandemic—and offering contemplative prompts for inner-reflection and a meditation practice in each chapter, psychotherapist and Buddhist practitioner Susan Chapman demystifies the three main types of fear people experience (frozen, awake, and core), and how to meet each with love. This heartfelt guide from someone who's been there and done the work will help us get through life's challenges and restore our equilibrium, while also inviting a valuable opportunity for personal growth. 
     
     
     
    Which Way Is Up? draws from traditional Buddhist teachings on the bardo, a Tibetan word most often associated with the period between death and rebirth. Chapman likens the bardo to abrupt episodes in our lives when things seem to turn upside down and we can't find our footing. In such times of not-knowing, our fearful mind tends to panic trying to make sense out of our experience. Instead, Chapman meets the listener in their groundlessness to show how these turning points can force us to let go of our assumptions about the future and allow something new to be reborn.
