Summary

"Buenos Aires Soul" explores the captivating identity of Argentina's capital, revealing its unique blend of tango culture, political turbulence, and European influences. The book argues that Buenos Aires' soul is not a singular trait but a dynamic expression of its intricate history, shaping the character of its people, the "porteños," and its urban landscape. The rise of tango, for example, from marginalized communities to a national symbol, reflects the city's vibrant cultural evolution.

 
The book delves into Argentina's cyclical political upheavals, examining the impact of events, such as the rise and fall of Peronism, on the city's social fabric. It also explores how significant European immigration waves transformed Buenos Aires' demographics, architecture, and cultural identity, contributing to its reputation as the "Paris of South America."

 
Tracing the city's development chronologically and thematically, "Buenos Aires Soul" offers a detailed and engaging portrait, moving from its colonial origins through key periods of tango development, political shifts, and immigration patterns. By integrating historical analysis with elements of sociology, anthropology, and urban studies, the book provides a comprehensive perspective on Buenos Aires.

 
Each chapter brings the narrative to life through case studies, personal stories, and visual elements, offering a nuanced understanding of Buenos Aires' identity and its ongoing evolution in South America.

    Sixth sense found in a human being or any living being for that matter is an ability that some to believe they own that element in an abstract manner that seems to deliver the information without using the five senses of sight, touch, hearing power, taste or smell. If a sensible person has five senses, then he does possess the sixth sense as well. It may not be exploited often or as frequently as one wants it, but it is invariably there. It is part of the creation of the soul in all people. 
    The sixth sense as described by the lexicon interpretation, is a power of perception autonomous of the five senses viz., sharp intuition. Others term it ESP or Extra Sensory Perception. So the question that one would like to reply is: How to activate the sixth sense? The reason is that the meaning is, as it were, lost for a majority of people. It's like the eyes closed and unable to see, can't be used for as long as they're shut.

    A top mental health writer, trauma researcher, and survivor illuminates the dual nature of loss-the science behind it and art of transforming it with a breakthrough book and truly holistic approach. 
     
    After experiencing two rare heart attacks at the age of 33-and a third a decade later, DeMarco knows trauma intimately. Trauma breaks your relationship with time by upending your expectations, fracturing your memories and identity, and destroying your innocence. 
     
    With poignant wisdom and refreshing insight DeMarco explodes traditional myths of resilience and shows what it takes to thrive through any of life's challenges. DeMarco situates meaningful challenge and loss specifically in the context of "lost innocence," and challenges common notions that we can think our way out of despair and back to a "normal" happy life when the unimaginable shatters it. 
     
    Leveraging advances in emotion science, somatic psychology, neuroscience, and trauma, Holding Onto Air brings the body and spirit into the solution, as much as the mind, and so presents a truly integrated, "whole person" approach to recovering from lost innocence and building resilience. It also makes spirit accessible for anyone of any background or belief-or no aligned belief. 
     
    More than a rudimentary map for navigating grief and loss' rocky terrain (with tired tropes and shop-worn strategies), DeMarco offers a unique and trusted guide for an arduous journey every human being will have to face-the realization of evil, pain, or mortality that occurs after a person experiences trauma.

    “This book is must reading . . . although it will at times shock and perhaps even offend the sensibilities of traditional therapists.” —American Journal of Psychiatry This book brings together Erich Fromm’s basic statements on the application of psychoanalytic theory to social dynamics. At the same time, it offers an image of man consonant with the hopes of radical humanism.The Crisis of Psychoanalysis is a collection of nine brilliant essays. Although his work is deeply rooted in Freudian theory, Fromm further develops Freud’s doctrines by including both social and ethical dimensions, and applies his discoveries and insights to address the problems we face in society at large. “This collection is a fine representative sampling from a lucid, humane, always attractive writer.” —Kirkus Reviews “Highly recommended.” —Library Journal
