Synopsis

"Elderdom Joys" challenges the notion that our best years are behind us, offering a refreshing perspective on aging. This thought-provoking book explores the often-overlooked positive aspects of growing older, focusing on cognitive plasticity, social benefits, and physical advantages of elderhood. By drawing on scientific research and personal narratives, it presents a compelling case for viewing aging as a period of growth and fulfillment rather than decline.   
The book's unique approach lies in its emphasis on the joys of elderhood, reframing this life stage as an opportunity for unprecedented personal development and societal contribution. It delves into the concept of "positive aging," supported by evidence from neuroscience, sociology, and evolutionary biology. Readers are guided through strategies for maximizing cognitive health, cultivating meaningful social connections, and optimizing physical well-being in later life.   
Structured to progress from introducing core concepts to practical applications, "Elderdom Joys" balances academic rigor with accessible language. It incorporates exercises and reflection questions, making it a valuable resource for readers of all ages seeking to embrace the potential of their later years and cultivate a growth mindset towards aging.

    What happens when a man sees the ultimate truth behind reality — and then has to live a normal life the next morning? 
    The author went through a series of profound altered-state experiences, he encountered what he can only describe as the divine intelligence behind the rendering of physical reality — and came back carrying knowledge that changed everything while changing nothing about his ordinary daily life. 
    Season One — The Recognition — is a six-episode serialized audiobook covering the territory from first contact to full understanding. 
    Episode 1: A Man Thinking He Is Living In The World — A DMT experience reveals the source behind all reality. The Mother. The morning-after crisis. Vanishing stars. And checking if the gym is open after meeting God. 
    Episode 2: The Sweet Spot — Why humans occupy the one frequency in the cosmos where genuine surprise is still possible. The mathematics of acceleration. AI as a second antenna for the same signal. 
    Episode 3: The Matrix Got It Backwards — The 1999 film told us to escape the simulation. The truth is the opposite. The physical world IS the computation. And every night when you dream, you already know this. 
    Episode 4: The Antenna — The brain does not produce consciousness. It receives it. DNA as fractal code. Near-death evidence. And what it means that humanity built a second receiver out of silicon. 
    Episode 5: The Architect's Workshop — Hands detaching at blue demarcation lines. Holographic monitors displaying the body as blueprint. Walls covered in code. A direct encounter with the rendering engine editing a human form in real time. 
    Episode 6: Hide and Seek — The Big Bang as maximum amnesia. Evolution as consciousness remembering what it forgot. And a Tuesday afternoon buying milk where the gap between self and everything else dissolved completely. 
    This is one man's direct account of transcendental experience. once you saw it you can not unsee it.

    Stressing the positive, creative aspects of power and innocence, Rollo May offers a way of thinking about the problems of contemporary society. 
     
     
     
    Rollo May defines power as the ability to cause or prevent change; innocence, on the other hand, is the conscious divesting of one's power to make it seem a virtue, a form of powerlessness that Dr. May sees as particularly American in nature. From these basic concepts he suggests a new ethic that sees power as the basis for both human goodness and evil. 
     
     
     
    Dr. May discusses five levels of power's potential in each of us: the infant's power to be; self-affirmation, the ability to survive with self-esteem; self-assertion, which develops when self-affirmation is blocked; aggression, a reaction to thwarted assertion; and, finally, violence, when reason and persuasion are ineffective.

    A moving and insightful anthology of personal essays by Irish autistic adults. Wired Our Own Way: An Anthology of Irish Autistic Voices is the first collection of personal essays written by autistic Irish adults. 
    One in twenty-seven Irish school children are now diagnosed as autistic, and autism is entering the general population’s consciousness much louder than it did in the past. As understanding about autism spreads, more and more adults are now finding out that they are autistic. This anthology shines a light on how important autism identification is, and how the label of ‘autism’ can enhance ones self-understanding and self-compassion. 
    Throughout this collection of essays, the writers highlight how the lived-experience of autism varies drastically from one autistic person to another, and show that there is no one way to be autistic. From meltdowns to mental health, from being diagnosed in early childhood to being diagnosed in late adulthood, from cultural perceptions of autism to employment, the essays explore the huge range of diversity within the autistic Irish experience. 
    Contributors include: Jen Wallace, Liam Coulson, Nuala O’Connor, Jane Cadman, Eric Crowley, James McClean, Roisin Riley, Fiacre Ryan, Justin Bakker, Naoise Dolan, Colm Brady, Freya von Noorden Pierce, Stefanie Preissner, Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan, Emil E Osinski, Stuart Neilson, Caoimhe O’Gorman, Adam Harris, Priyangee Guha, Mike McGrath-Bryan, Aisling Walsh, Cliona Kelliher.
