Exotics and Retrospectives

Lafcadio Hearn

Sinopse

In "Exotics and Retrospectives," Lafcadio Hearn presents an eclectic collection of essays that delve into both the haunting allure of the East and the nuanced intricacies of Hearn's own Western upbringing. The literary style is rich and evocative, characterized by Hearn's penchant for vivid imagery and philosophical reflection, which skillfully bridges cultural divides. This work serves as a testament to Hearn's explorations of identity, morality, and the aesthetics of life, set against the backdrop of late 19th-century America and Japan, reflecting a period marked by cross-cultural encounters and burgeoning globalization. Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) was a Greek-born writer who became one of the first important Western interpreters of Japanese culture. His diverse life experiences, spanning Greece, America, and Japan, equipped him with a unique lens through which to view the world. Hearn's fascination with the mystical elements of Japanese folklore and spirituality is evident throughout the essays, influenced by his deep engagement with both Eastern and Western philosophies, allowing him to articulate the complexities of human experience. This collection is a significant work for anyone intrigued by cultural studies, as it not only captures the essence of Hearn's own journeys but also invites readers to reflect on their own cultural narratives. "Exotics and Retrospectives" is a must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of cross-cultural identity and the rich tapestry of human experience.

Psychodynamic Therapy -...

Vivian Westlake

Psychodynamic therapy is an approach to psychological treatment rooted in the ideas and concepts developed by Sigmund Freud and his followers. It emphasizes the importance of unconscious processes and early childhood experiences in shaping an individual's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This therapy aims to bring these unconscious factors into conscious awareness, helping individuals gain insight and resolve internal conflicts that may be contributing to current psychological difficulties.
The history of psychodynamic therapy traces back to the early 20th century when Freud, a neurologist, developed his theories of the unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, and the structure of the psyche. Freud’s ideas on human development, sexuality, and the role of unconscious drives sparked both widespread debate and fascination, establishing the foundation for psychodynamic therapy. Over time, various schools of thought and modifications emerged within psychodynamic theory, influenced by key figures such as Carl Jung, Melanie Klein, and Erik Erikson. Despite these developments, the core principles of psychodynamic therapy remain grounded in understanding how unconscious thoughts and past experiences shape present behavior.
Central to psychodynamic therapy is the belief that much of human behavior is influenced by internal, unconscious forces. These forces are often formed in early childhood and can result in unresolved conflicts, repressed memories, or unmet emotional needs. By exploring these unconscious factors, psychodynamic therapy seeks to uncover hidden patterns and help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves. The therapeutic relationship itself plays a vital role in this process, as the dynamics between the therapist and the client often mirror significant interpersonal relationships from the client’s past.

Conquer Discipline - The Magic...

N.M. Hill

How to stop making excuses, ditch delaying tactics, and achieve your goals without feeling like it’s a chore.
Is there something you want to accomplish but can’t seem to follow through with, whether it’s making healthier choices, learning a new language, or limiting social media time?
If so, then CONQUER DISCIPLINE is for you!
How often do you give in to distractions or struggle to finish what you’ve started, then beat yourself up for feeling like a failure?
Do you wish you could be one of those people who have laser focus and keep their eyes on the prize no matter what?
Here’s a reality check: What spells the difference between one’s success and failure is not merely talent, intelligence, or even luck – it’s self-discipline.
Self-discipline, according to the dictionary, is the ability to control yourself and to make yourself work hard or behave in a particular way without needing anyone else to tell you what to do.
Unfortunately, while the benefits of self-discipline have long been established, it has earned a bad reputation.
Many people – perhaps including yourself – react negatively to it, most likely because it’s often associated with ideas of harsh punishment, heavy burden, and basically a rigid, joyless life.
But that notion cannot be farther from the truth. In fact, a study has shown that practicing self-control makes you happier and more satisfied both in the moment and in the long run.
Experts also say that self-discipline is like a muscle – the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets. The good news is, unlike a rigorous exercise routine, you don’t need to hire a professional trainer or have fancy equipment and tools to master self-discipline - read the book to discover more...
