The Symposium (Ancient Greek: Συμπόσιον) is a philosophical text by Plato dated c. 385–380 BCE. It concerns itself at one level with the genesis, purpose and nature of love.
Couples in distress enter therapy holding two goals that they now experience as mutually to feel loved and to feel understood. Toni Herbine-Blank’s powerful new brand of couple therapy, Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), offers a comprehensive conceptual map for achieving both goals. In a tour de force of elegant case illustrations wrapped around clear instruction, this book shows the IFIO therapist working with the natural subdivisions – or parts – of the human mind in a dyad, guiding and supporting couples to understand how they project childhood injury into current relationships and then, feeling threatened, frustrated and angry, lose track of their underlying needs to feel safe, connected and loved. With a focus on generating internal attachment stability to sustain each partner through the moments when the other is unavailable, couples in IFIO therapy reconnect with their essential needs, change their conversations and learn to make requests that invite rather than threaten in order to get those needs met. This audio edition is skillfully narrated by Kristi Burns, and engineered by Allie McSwain. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.Ver libro

What you’ll discover inside: • A satirical comedy skewering philosophy, education, and generational conflict • A wildly irreverent portrait of Socrates and his absurd “Thinkery” • A sharp critique of sophistry, relativism, and rhetorical manipulation • A lively and accessible modern translation of Aristophanes’ classic Join the riotous drama where logic tangles, thunder rumbles, and the line between wisdom and foolishness vanishes in the clouds.Ver libro

In Occult Diseases: A Review of Unbalance, Manly P. Hall turns his penetrating insight toward the hidden roots of human suffering. More than a study of physical or mental illness, this rare essay—originally published in The All-Seeing Eye—investigates the spiritual and psychological disorders that arise when harmony is broken between the soul, mind, and body. Hall reveals how ignorance, selfishness, and emotional extremes generate destructive vibrations that can manifest as disease, imbalance, and inner decay. He outlines not only the causes of occult affliction but also the principles of restoration: discipline, clarity, virtue, and alignment with higher truth. This is not a medical manual—it is a guide for the soul's hygiene.Ver libro
