He lays the responsibility for that emergence squarely on the shoulders of the individual and shows that the exercise of free will (timshel) is the key to that emergence. Steinbeck sees the coexistence of good and evil as necessary for the emergence of character or greatness. ![]() In short, this book examines our human nature and what we’re truly capable of. This is the the age-old story of the struggle between good and evil, but with an interesting twist. I frequently recommend it to friends and have yet to have a complaint. After reading a few quotes from the book it shot to the top of my “must read” list. ![]() I first found out about East of Eden when I kept coming across the word “Timshel” on a different website. It will change how you see humanity and how you think about good and evil. However, if you have the patience and will to make it through, I promise it will make you think.

East of Eden Book Review: My Take, Why its worth a read ![]() ![]() ![]() Conversely, the removal of hope (for example, through what is said to us at the point of a diagnosis), or leaving people despondent, really exacerbates the noisy brain which is now known to be a root cause of neurodegeneration. ![]() In this way, the book restores hope, and, ironically, that restoration of hope is, in itself, part of the neuroplastic healing process, through supporting the neuromodulation and neurorelaxation stages described below. This is a book near the top of my "must read" recommendations for anyone with chronic illness or trauma, not just because it contains "need to know" understandings, but precisely because it proves to us that there are indeed very many possibilities for things we can do or try, right now, beyond the medical or surgical, which have huge potential to reduce our suffering. I have been revisiting the book "The Brain's Way of Healing"īy Dr Norman Doidge, which I first read about a two years ago now, in order to refresh my knowledge of the stages of the fundamental processes by which "neuroplastic" (or neurological re-wire) healing occurs. ![]() BOOK REVIEW OF "THE BRAIN'S WAY OF HEALING”. ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments The poetics of space book![]() “We are far removed from any reference to simple geometrical forms,” Bachelard wrote in a chapter entitled “House and Universe.” “A house that has been experienced is not an inert box. First published in French in 1957 and translated into English in 1964, Gaston Bachelard’s philosophical meditation on oneiric space appeared at a moment when phenomenology and the pursuit of symbolic and archetypal meanings in architecture seemed to open fertile ground within the desiccated culture of late modernism. Three or four decades ago a book entitled The Poetics of Space could hardly fail to stir the architectural imagination. ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments The kindest lie nancy johnson![]() ![]() Then nothing can stop you."
