  When Reality Breaks -...

  When Reality Breaks explores what happens when psychological abuse quietly fractures your sense of self. 
  If you left a relationship knowing something was wrong, yet still doubt your memory, judgment, or reactions, this book is for you. Psychological abuse is often subtle and destabilizing, unfolding through contradiction rather than cruelty, slowly eroding trust in your own perception. 
  This inner conflict is called Traumatic Cognitive Dissonance, the result of prolonged manipulation, emotional invalidation, and distorted responsibility. It affects how you think, feel, and understand yourself, long after the relationship ends. 
  Rather than focusing on labels or diagnoses, this book explains the relational dynamics that disrupt self trust and why healing can feel confusing. You will learn why clarity does not return immediately, how your mind adapted to survive, and how to restore trust in yourself, rebuild boundaries, and reconnect without fear. 
  You are not broken. 
   You were not imagining things. 
   Healing begins with understanding what disrupted you and reclaiming the clarity that was taken from you.

  Reality and the Arts

  Albert A. Anderson

  Art is the creative manifestation of essences. In order to understand the relation between art and reality, we need a philosophical guide. The best way to comprehend how the creative act of imagining enables the mind to seek reality is to employ the kind of dialectical thinking that Plato used in his dialogues. Beginning with the shadows on the wall of the cave in which each person dwells, that process gradually enables us to grasp the essences that are manifested in individual works of art.
   
  Without a philosophical guide, we are likely to encounter only a blur of images in the visual arts, a cacophony of sounds in music, a whirl of activity in the theater, and chaos in the building of cities. It is too much to expect a set of final answers to any serious question about what is true, good, or beautiful. If we abandon the quest for reality we settle for too little. Plato’s dialectical approach offers a path between Scylla and Charybdis.

  This Very Body the Buddha -...

  With an entire genre of self-help books available in the market, this series of talks by the enlightened mystic Osho stands apart. Through his commentary on the tiny but exquisite Song of Meditation by Hakuin, "one of the greatest of Zen masters", Osho speaks on how contemporary man goes through life with the idea that he must be different from how he is and so trying to change.
  Whether the search is for self-improvement or self-realization, Osho simply states that "trying" is what is in the way. Just see that there is nothing to be done. Then life becomes a joy, a dance - and meditation has a song to sing.
  "Remember Hakuin saying, 'From the very beginning all beings are buddhas.' From the very beginning to the very end: in the beginning, in the middle, in the end, all are buddhas. For not for a single moment have you been anybody else."

  Juvenile crime doesn’t just happen—there is always a story behind it. 
  Before Their Crimes: What We’re Misunderstanding about Childhood Trauma, Youth Crime, and the Path to Healing is a ground-breaking audiobook that sheds new light on the relationship of childhood trauma and juvenile crime. Wendy Smith uses the framework of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) to explain how the toxic stress of early childhood trauma can make children vulnerable to committing criminal acts. Smith draws from interviews with twenty men and women from across the racial and social divide who spent years in prison after committing serious crimes as children. Smith not only reveals the pernicious mechanisms that link early trauma to later crime, but also illuminates the potential for healing among even the most egregious offenders.

  Little Women Podcast: Why...

  Self-reliance is often rooted in the idea that no matter the circumstances that you were born into, you can still make something of yourself and your life and leave a mark on this world. One of Louisa´s favourite writers was the German poet, Goethe. Goethe was born into great wealth, which eventually led him to challenge himself. Being born as a rich man caused emptiness. Some readers might notice that this is down to tee Laurie´s character. Goethe eventually found writing to be his calling, and he recommended work as the best remedy for a broken heart. In Little Women, when Laurie is in Vienna after he has been rejected by Jo and has been lectured by Amy, he's writing an opera which would quote "harrow Jo´s soul and melt her heart" But he just keeps seeing Jo in the most unflattering ways and soon Jo is replaced by a beautiful ghost who looks a lot like Amy, and Laurie sees himself as a romantic prince. I have seen about 14 Little Women adaptations, and this part of Laurie in Vienna has never been adapted, which is a problem. Laurie is flirting with this ghost for a while, and then he stops and for the first time in his life, Laurie realizes that what he's doing is silly and he remembers Amy's words. She took his hands and said that they were soft and white as a woman's and they had never done a day's work. Only picked flowers for girls and wore Jouvin´s best gloves. As a result of this, Laurie goes to work for his grandfather. Laurie's character arc in Little Women is not about Amy or Jo. It is the story of how Laurie becomes a man. In Louisa May Alcott´s world, the only acceptable wealthy people are philanthropists. With Laurie´s character, Louisa May Alcott criticised the people who are on the top of the class system.
