On Giving Up

Adam Phillips

From acclaimed psychoanalyst Adam Phillips, a meditation on what we must give up to feel more alive. 
 
 
 
To give up or not to give up? 
 
 
 
The question can feel inescapable but the answer is never simple. 
 
 
 
Giving up our supposed vices is one thing; giving up on life itself is quite another. One form of self-sacrifice feels positive, something to admire and aspire to, while the other is profoundly unsettling, if not actively undesirable. 
 
 
 
There are always, it turns out, both good and bad sacrifices, but it is not always clear beforehand which is which. We give something up because we believe we can no longer go on as we are. In this sense, giving up is a critical moment―an attempt to make a different future. 
 
 
 
In On Giving Up, the acclaimed psychoanalyst Adam Phillips illuminates both the gaps and the connections between the many ways of giving up and helps us to address the central question: What must we give up in order to feel more alive?

Espionage Atlas The: Havana -...

P.J. Agness

Havana is a city built for watchers. 
 
Behind the sea wall, old hotels, embassy gates, music, heat, and polished lobbies lies another map. Not the tourist map. The spy map. 
 
The Espionage Atlas: Havana looks at the Cuban capital through the hidden geography of intelligence history. This is not spy fantasy and not a travel guide. It is true espionage told through place: the city people photograph, and the city power uses after the camera lowers. 
 
From the rupture between Washington and Havana to the Bay of Pigs, Operation Mongoose, embassy pressure, surveillance culture, informant networks, and the betrayals of Ana Montes and Manuel Rocha, this volume shows how Havana became more than scenery. It became an intelligence environment. 
 
A hotel becomes a registry of habits. An embassy becomes a beacon. A waterfront becomes exposure. A room becomes a question. A person with access becomes a route. 
 
Written in a calm, cinematic nonfiction style, The Espionage Atlas: Havana teaches the listener how to read a city the way intelligence services read it: through access, pattern, pressure, visibility, and consequence. 
 
Not spy fantasy. Not a tourist guide. 
 
A city seen through a spy’s eyes.
