  Vulnerability Protected -...

  Vulnerability Protected: Visions of a Dancing Mind invites readers to reconsider what it truly means to be vulnerable—and why it matters now more than ever. Vulnerability, writes Carol Smaldino, is not a soft cliché but a profound state of openness that touches every part of our being. It is rarely smooth or easy. On the contrary, genuine vulnerability depends on a sense of safety, both physical and emotional, and becomes a gateway to repair and reconnection when we inevitably falter. 
  In this new work, Smaldino explores how vulnerability is a central ingredient in empathy—for ourselves, for each other, and even for the natural world. When we allow ourselves to feel deeply into our own experience, we become more able to extend that same depth of understanding outward, bridging the gaps that so often divide us. 
  Against the backdrop of a world marked by polarization and fracture, Vulnerability Protected argues that humanizing ourselves and one another is an urgent task. What we fear or disown in ourselves, Smaldino notes, we are prone to hate, degrade, or project onto others. 
  Vulnerability Protected offers a path toward making vulnerability authentic, grounded, and transformative—something that can be protected rather than exploited, honored rather than shamed.  
  Carol Smaldino, LCSW, is a psychotherapist with forty years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. Her work focuses on the deeper and often hidden parts of the psyche, including the “shadow” emotions we tend to reject or bury. Known for her combination of quick wit, sustained curiosity, and a serious, compassionate approach, she has long been committed to integrating the personal and the political in her writing and speaking.

  What does it truly mean to be "immoral"? Is it a flaw to be conquered, or an intrinsic part of our humanity? In this bold and expansive work, A.A. Castor embarks on a sweeping investigation into the roots of our so-called forbidden impulses. Drawing on vivid historical accounts, cutting-edge psychology, and illuminating insights from the animal kingdom, Castor unravels the stories behind behaviors that societies have labeled as taboo or deviant. From ancient rituals to modern counterculture movements, from primal instincts honed by evolution to the ever-shifting moral boundaries shaped by media and technology, this book offers a comprehensive portrait of how "immorality" has both challenged and enriched our collective journey. 
  Through thoughtful analysis and engaging narrative, readers are invited to confront their own assumptions about right and wrong. Rather than condemning our darkest desires, Castor demonstrates how risk-taking, rebellion, and raw self-expression can foster innovation and self-discovery. By weaving together perspectives from philosophy, social science, and personal reflection, We Desire to Be Immoral ultimately urges a more nuanced understanding of human nature—one that embraces our imperfections, values empathy and connection, and dares us to celebrate the liberating power of authenticity. Whether you're intrigued by the hidden forces behind social norms or seeking a deeper appreciation for the complexities of the human spirit, this book is an invitation to step beyond the ordinary and revel in the full spectrum of who we are.
