Beschreibung

Public Touch Norms explores the fascinating world of physical contact customs across cultures, examining how societies establish and maintain rules for acceptable public touching. This comprehensive study weaves together insights from evolutionary biology, social psychology, and anthropology to understand how touch behaviors shape human interactions and social cohesion worldwide.The book uniquely combines historical research with contemporary findings, presenting evidence from a groundbreaking study spanning 40 countries. Through detailed case studies and observational research, readers discover how factors like climate, religion, and historical events influence touching customs in different societies. For instance, the research reveals how traditional greeting practices evolve in response to urbanization and technological change, while also examining how cultural differences in personal space boundaries affect cross-cultural communication.Structured in three main sections, the book progresses from the biological foundations of touch to specific cultural case studies, concluding with an analysis of how modern factors like technology and global migration are reshaping traditional customs. The author presents complex concepts through accessible examples and clear explanations, making sophisticated research findings approachable for both academic and general readers.This systematic approach to understanding touch norms offers practical applications for business professionals, healthcare providers, and anyone interested in improving cross-cultural interactions in our increasingly interconnected world.

    This is an audiobook of the classic title Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner, narrated by Jonathan Nelson.
     
    --------------------------------
     
    "I set out to study and practice Vipassana meditation in India fifty years ago. Then, as now, I characterized myself as both a spiritual seeker and a writer. During the six months that I sojourned in meditation centers and monasteries, observing the strict rules of retreat, I nevertheless spent several hours a day feverishly filling notebooks by lamplight with tightly packed script legible only to me, recording my internal experiences.
     
    I wanted to tell a story, because I am by nature a story teller, but on my return to America I was a bit disconcerted to find that my detailed accounts read like data recorded by a naturalist hidden in the bush observing the behavior of a strange creature in the wild, information that would have little interest to anyone except an extreme specialist in the field.
     
    Up until then my unpublished works were lightly fictionalized autobiographical accounts of my young life, but fiction wouldn’t be accurate enough to tell this tale. Instead, I created a protagonist, a bit of a hero, who was both me and not me, Eric Lerner. I re-created the external world of people and teachers and places he’d encountered, as well as ideas and beliefs adopted and discarded. In other words, a setting and a plot. All of it was real, or real enough, the product of memory and interpretation, a new veracity. A memoir."

    Well Beings - How the Seventies...

    James Riley, author of the cult hit The Bad Trip: Dark Omens, New Worlds and the End of the Sixties, returns with another incisive and thought-provoking cultural history, turning his trenchant eye to the wellness industry that emerged in the 1970s.
    
    Concepts such as wellness and self-care may feel like distinctly twenty-first century ideas, but they first gained traction as part of the New Age health movements that began to flourish in the wake of the 1960s. Riley dives into this strange and hypnotic world of panoramic coastal retreats and darkened floatation tanks, blending a page-turning narrative with illuminating explorations of the era's music, film, art and literature.
    Well Beings delves deep into the mind of the seventies - its popular culture, its radical philosophies, its approach to health and its sense of social crisis. It tells the story of what was sought, what was found and how these explorations helped the 'Me Decade' find itself. In so doing, it questions what good health means today and reveals what the seventies can teach us about the strange art of being well.
