Beschreibung

The Jazz Age: lights, parties, beautiful cars and cocktail dresses, but behind the tenderness of the night lies its darkness, its harshness, the sense of loneliness. Young Nick Carraway moves to New York City in the summer of 1922. He rents a house in prestigious, dreamy Long Island, teeming with the newly rich desperately busy partying with each other. One neighbor strikes Nick in a particular way: he is the mysterious Jay Gatsby, who lives in an outsized, gaudy house, filling it every Saturday night with guests at his extravagant parties. Yet he lives in desperate loneliness and falls senselessly in love with Nick's married cousin Daisy. The American myth decays page after page, retaining all the glitter of its facade but also showing its fragility. Just as was happening to Fitzgerald himself, a former playboy grappling with the mystery of an existence now doomed to final dissolution.
Complete edition with reader-friendly table of contents.

    Drawing on more than 20 years of experience as a spiritual teacher and psychologist, Patrick Marando has written a guide to remembering who you really are - teaching how you, too, can live from the state he calls the true self. Patrick bridges the gap between spirituality and modern psychology, describing how we become disconnected from our true self, providing a guide to remembering your truth and fully awakening to who you are. The result will be a life of well-being, peace, and fulfillment. Patrick also discusses how the mind develops and functions, how it doesn't always align with the true self; he explains how to utilize our minds to help - instead of limit - us. He thoroughly describes our common emotions and tells us why we have them, how to manage and utilize them to help align with the true self. With his clear explanations and practical exercises, Patrick has created a step-by-step guide to being human and overcoming the barriers to living your truth.
