    Digestive & Internal Issues -...

    Within the human body's complex internal landscape, disorders of the digestive and related systems represent some of the most common yet frequently misunderstood challenges to health and wellbeing. From the violent gastric upheaval of viral infections to the inflammation of specialized tissues and the painful complications of venous structures, internal disorders can dramatically disrupt daily functioning while remaining largely invisible to outside observers. This comprehensive exploration delves into three distinct yet equally significant conditions—Norovirus infection, Mastitis, and Hemorrhoids—each representing a unique window into how internal physiological disruptions manifest, progress, and impact quality of life. 
    The narrative of internal disorders transcends mere symptomatology; it encompasses the intricate biological mechanisms, environmental triggers, and personal experiences that shape both clinical presentations and therapeutic approaches. By examining the virulent nature of Norovirus, the inflammatory complexities of Mastitis, and the structural challenges of Hemorrhoids, this book illuminates the multifaceted nature of conditions that affect internal systems with remarkable frequency yet often remain shrouded in discomfort and silence. Readers will journey through the physiological landscapes where these conditions develop—from the highly contagious viral particles that wreak havoc on gastrointestinal function to the inflammatory processes within mammary tissues and the vascular complications of rectal veins—while exploring the broader contexts of prevention, diagnosis, and comprehensive management strategies. Through evidence-based information and clinical insight, we aim to transform understanding of these common yet challenging conditions, providing healthcare professionals, affected individuals, and curious readers with a nuanced perspective on disorders that significantly impact internal health across diverse populations.

    “Using old koans as a jumping off point, Magid brings a wonderfully unorthodox (and helpful) perspective to traditional Zen teachings. As both Zen teacher and psychoanalyst, Magid unmasks the psychological naivete that is still all too prevalent in contemporary Zen practice, and shows how it can lead to problems for students, and tangled relationships between teachers and students. In each insightful essay, Magid makes a journey from a short koan into far territories of the heart.”—Susan Moon, author of This Is Getting Old 
    In this inspiring and incisive offering, Barry Magid uses the language of modern psychology and psychotherapy to illuminate one of Buddhism's most powerful and often mysterious technologies: the Zen koan. What's more, Magid also uses the koans to expand upon the insights of psychology (especially self psychology and relational psychotherapy) and open for the reader new perspectives on the functioning of the human mind and heart. Nothing Is Hidden explores many rich themes, including facing impermanence and the inevitability of change, working skillfully with desire and attachment, and discovering when "surrender and submission" can be liberating and when they shade into emotional bypassing. With a sophisticated view of the rituals and teachings of traditional Buddhism, Magid helps us see how we sometimes subvert meditation into just another "curative fantasy" or make compassion into a form of masochism.

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    "The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro tells the story of Stevens, an aging butler, as he embarks on a road trip in 1956. The journey becomes a backdrop for his memories, particularly his past service to Lord Darlington and his relationship with the housekeeper, Miss Kenton. The book explores themes of dignity, duty, and the nature of greatness through Stevens’s reflections. He grapples with the meaning of his life, questioning if his rigid adherence to his professional ideals came at the cost of personal fulfillment. The narrative unfolds as a witty and poignant meditation on the responsibilities of an ordinary man, set against the backdrop of historical events.
