Sinossi

Sixties Slow Down explores the science of aging, particularly focusing on the benefits of adjusting one's lifestyle to the natural rhythms of later life. It examines the psychological impact of societal expectations, the biological realities of aging, and the advantages of consciously slowing down. The book argues that society often pressures older adults to maintain an unsustainable pace, detrimental to their health. By understanding the changes inherent in aging, individuals can enhance their well-being and cognitive function. For instance, studies in gerontology reveal that rest and reduced stress are vital for optimal health in later life. The book's approach is comprehensive, blending psychology, life sciences, and biology to illustrate how pacing affects well-being.

 
It unfolds in sections, first defining what "slowing down" means in the context of aging and exploring psychological barriers. It then delves into the biological underpinnings of aging, drawing on research about cellular aging and cognitive decline. Finally, it synthesizes these insights to offer practical strategies for adapting daily routines and cultivating mindful practices. By challenging the notion that constant productivity is the ultimate measure of value, Sixties Slow Down advocates for balance and self-care, making it valuable for those navigating later life.

    "The Temptation of St. Antony" by Gustave Flaubert is a visionary exploration of faith, doubt, and the human psyche. The story follows St. Antony, a hermit in the desert, as he endures a night of supernatural trials and temptations orchestrated by demonic visions. Flaubert delves into Antony’s inner struggles, confronting themes of desire, despair, and the search for divine truth. Through vivid imagery and philosophical depth, the work examines the tension between earthly passions and spiritual devotion. A blend of mysticism and existential inquiry, it reflects Flaubert’s fascination with the complexities of belief and the soul’s resilience. This poetic masterpiece challenges readers to ponder the boundaries of faith and the eternal battle between good and evil.

    What would you do if you wanted nothing to do with what was dangling between your legs? How far would you go? How much humiliation would you suffer? 
      
    All I wanted was to become a woman. They promised help, that they could change me. The interviewer had me perform humiliating tasks for the first piece of the puzzle, I finally sounded like a woman when I spoke! That was step one. I never expected there to be so many steps, never thought they had the ability to change me so gradually, so shamefully. I had told myself that no challenge would be too harsh, but how was I supposed to know just how far they would make me fall? 
      
    PSA: This story contains a man eager to become a woman and take it all. And he will. Take it all, that is. On his knees, on her back, bent over – it will be given freely.

    A prescriptive on how to re-discover joy and live with it in our personal, professional, and creative lives, written by a top music executive who guided the careers of legendary hip-hop, R&B, and pop singers. In her thirty years working as a music industry executive at Island Def Jam and Jive Records, Grace Harry has lived her many creative lives at the intersection of music, art, and the passionate pursuit of joy—a long forgotten, but vital birthright. Many of us have no idea what joy truly is, and capturing it is often easier said than done. In The Joy Strategist, Grace takes readers on a journey to explore all dimensions of joy: how we find it, how we can re-discover it, and how we can incorporate it into our daily lives. Sometimes lighthearted and always real, The Joy Strategist shows readers how to break through creative or emotional ruts that keep them from tapping into their innate ability to feel true and unfettered joy. Grace coaches readers with meaningful autobiographical anecdotes and her toolbox of playful activities, which include: --Reconnecting with your “inner GPS,” the pilot light that guided you toward joyful experience without inhibition as a child. --Ceasing the war you’ve waged against your Heart and heal the wounds preventing you from giving and receiving love. -- Cultivating your “Starting Five,” or the community of people closest to you that will show up and support you on your journey, and how to best show up for them as well. --Breaking free from your Ego and dismantling the limiting beliefs that keep your deepest hopes and aspirations out of grasp. A mix of memoir, prescriptive self-help exercises, and cultural commentary on joy, The Joy Strategist will equip readers to define what exactly brings them joy so that they can live lives imbued with wonder, self-love, and creative abundance.

    A calling, an eruption, a phenomenon, an occurrence, a state of flow, an outlet for outburst, an involuntary muscle contortion, a summoning, an awakening, a release, an instinctual truth, a fleeting rarity, an escape from the commotion, a coming and going concussion... Call it what you will; Just don't call yourself a writer when you’re not writing. © 
    Fundamentally, this book isn't "about" anything but submission of a poetry and prose collection that had to be a world level thank you letter to American artist Charles Bukowski whom I had found later in life as a reminder that there was no doing this right. "This" refers to the notion of what it means to be a writer, as the pieces encompassing this collection stem from realization of a rooted "no effort" and invasive take over in the course of my life. 
    Simultaneously, I brutally address what it took to learn that this was ok. 
    Young adults of the art feel stigmatized into forcing creativity scholastically, whilst thinking their expression is restricted, not being trained to listen to their gut or feel strongly by standing on their own experiences. Even if it’s just by momentarily putting the mathematical thinking aside. I'd come across this the hard way from tutoring the subject of English first hand and sympathizing with people putting pressure on themselves in torment when they have "writer's block", so this could very well relate to aspiring writers in exercising patience. The purpose is to console by unpacking the nitty gritty, hard-hitting truths relating to existentialism, internal crises and sporadic nature that artists experience which the world doesn't often get insight into. 
    But ultimately, this is an "I love you" to the grace we can pay as humans with the capability to simply let go when we know it's time.
