Summary

In "The Mystique of Enlightenment," U. G. Krishnamurti offers a provocative exploration of the elusive nature of enlightenment, dismantling conventional spiritual paradigms with an incisive critique that reflects his unique philosophical outlook. Employing a conversational and accessible prose style, Krishnamurti eschews dogma in favor of a raw examination of the self, identity, and the psychological constructs that bind us. This text stands as a challenge to the romanticized concept of enlightenment, presenting it not as an ultimate attainment, but rather as a persistent, often disconcerting exploration of one's own mind, set against the backdrop of Eastern philosophical traditions and Western existential thought. U. G. Krishnamurti's intellectual journey is deeply rooted in his own radical transformation and rejection of established beliefs, which fueled his desire to strip away the superficial layers of spiritual teachings. Having experienced a profound shift in consciousness, he sought to communicate the nuances of this experience, devoid of the metaphysical embellishments often associated with spiritual awakening. His background, which intermingled with theosophical influences and a critical approach to societal norms, profoundly informed his perspectives, establishing him as a distinctive voice in contemporary spiritual discourse. For those seeking a deeper understanding of enlightenment that transcends platitudes and comfortable notions, "The Mystique of Enlightenment" is an essential read. Krishnamurti's unapologetic examination serves both as a philosophical inquiry and a practical guide, inviting readers to question their assumptions and engage with their innermost selves. This book will resonate with anyone poised at the intersection of spirituality and existential inquiry, urging a reevaluation of what it truly means to be enlightened.

    From Dr. Corinne Masur, an award-winning clinical psychologist specializing in grief and mourning, comes a necessary and impactful guide to understanding children's grief from the inside and to guiding children through loss, from the death of a parent and other family members, to the loss of friends, pets, and even the family home. Dr. Masur describes how to understand, help, and guide children at each age and stage of development in this important guide. 
 
 
 
When Dr. Masur was fourteen years old, her father died. Like most children and teens facing loss, Masur didn't know how to handle her grief, and she was never encouraged to acknowledge or share what she was feeling with her family, teachers, or friends. Her experience of shock and emotional paralysis around her loss is what led her to become an expert in childhood grief in order to help grieving children and to help others to support the children in their lives who have experienced loss. 
 
 
 
As a psychologist and child psychoanalyst, Dr. Masur has helped many children recognize and express their feelings after loss. In How Children Grieve, Masur shares her expertise with caregivers of all kinds, giving them the tools they need to help a child or teenager to mourn, to move forward, and to make meaning of terrible loss.

    Verbal abuse involves making negative, defining statements about a person or withholding responses to diminish their presence. Essentially, it means belittling, insulting, or patronizing someone, or gossiping behind their back. 
  
When the abuser fails to apologize or retract their harmful statements, the relationship may be characterized by verbal abuse. Such abuse is often driven by underlying anger, which fuels and sustains the abusive behavior. 
  
In schools and everyday life, verbal abuse, often accompanied by physical bullying, serves to elevate the abuser's status over their target and to rally others against the victim. Typically, the bully may not know any other way to connect with others emotionally.
