Sinossi

"Men Enjoy Hobbies" explores the rise of male leisure in 1960s America, a period of significant social change. Fueled by post-war economic growth and emerging retirement trends, men found themselves with unprecedented free time, prompting a re-evaluation of traditional masculinity. The book examines how this newfound leisure impacted American society, delving into the burgeoning hobby industry and its role in shaping male identity. It reveals how shifts in work-life balance allowed men to explore activities like woodworking and model trains, driving new forms of self-expression. The study offers unique insights into how consumer culture responded to these shifts. The work begins by establishing the demographic and economic conditions that fostered the rise of male leisure, transitions into an examination of the social and psychological impact of this newfound freedom, and finishes with an examination of the societal impact of these trends. The book analyzes retirement data, sociological studies, and advertising campaigns to provide a nuanced understanding of the era. By combining quantitative data with qualitative analysis, "Men Enjoy Hobbies" provides a compelling look at the evolving roles of men in society, the impact on family dynamics, and the creation of new avenues for self-fulfillment. The book’s exploration of male leisure and its connection to broader social trends makes it a valuable resource for those interested in American social history and the evolution of gender roles.

    "Hettes' writing verges on the poetic as she describes the heartbreaking fear that her suffering is permanent . . . the memoir includes moments of humor and hope, and it is inspiring to chart Hettes' journey from despair to a degree in "self-studies." A moving recollection filled with wisdom and unabashed emotion." - Kirkus Reviews  
    "This is a book for everyone who toys with walling themselves off to live with loneliness." - Betsy Teter, founder of Hub City Press 
    "It's easy enough to label child sexual abuse as horrific, but the acts themselves are only part of the problem. Hettes reveals the crushing, long-term consequences of sexual violation and our culture's collective failure to address it." - Sheri Reynolds, NYT bestselling author of The Rapture of Cannan 
    Stacey is living exactly the right life before she hits the psychological equivalent of a patch of black ice. 
    As Professor Hettes, her classes focus as much on neuroscience's beauty and wonder as its facts and theories. Fellow faculty members see her as a fair but outspoken leader on a campus steeped in the blended patriarchies of academia and southern gentility. 
    At an emotionally charged forum on sexual violence, she takes a stand against a colleague's reckless verbal assault, outing herself as a sexual abuse survivor in the process. Professor Hettes must continue her work even as Stacey finds herself resubmerged in the sights, sounds, and smells of her memories with Mr. Jay, a Pentecostal church deacon. 
    With exceptional candor, Dispatches from the Couch invites readers to take a seat beside her in the office of her new therapist, Piper. This debut memoir reveals the laborious, complex, but promising work of revisiting the past in order to extract its remnants of shame and loneliness from the present.

    To the Person Sitting in Darkness

    “The Person Sitting in Darkness” by Mark Twain is a searing political satire that exposes the hypocrisy and brutality of imperialism at the turn of the 20th century. With his signature wit and razor-sharp critique, Twain challenges the moral justifications used by Western powers—especially the United States—in their global conquests. Written in 1901, this provocative essay attacks the exploitation of weaker nations under the guise of civilization and religion, making it as relevant today as it was over a century ago. A must-read for fans of political commentary, anti-imperialist literature, and Twain’s bolder, less-publicized works.

    We are a society of armchair psychologists, who are constantly self-diagnosing. There are scores of books and television programs that suggest ways for us to reprogram and rid ourselves of disturbing feelings and behavior patterns. Bedrick is deepening the dialogue about the role and practice of psychology in today’s society. Much of mainstream or “pop” psychology give us plenty of labels, but does it go deep enough to motivate us to truly change destructive patterns? David Bedrick gives us a new vision of psychology where people are seen not as either functional or dysfunctional. It’s a psychology where awareness and dialogue are more important than labels. 
    Mainstream psychology often misses the range of diversity in people and tries to “normalize” them into a sea of sameness. In Process Oriented Psychology, for example, there are no 7 steps to a cure. This branch of psychology acknowledges that everyone is different. Bedrick is an awareness follower and says, “I’m using my awareness in watching all the communication a person gives me, much of which is not verbal.” He follows what they are showing him until the client reveals their own cure or medicine. He gives many exciting examples in this dynamic dialogue. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
