The Mourner's Dance
What We Do When People Die
Katherine Ashenburg
North Point Press
"Fascinating . . . While
The Mourner's Dance
is not intended to be a self-help book, readers who have undergone the death of a loved one might find solace and wisdom in the collective human experience of loss it illuminates."—
Donna Marchetti,
The Plain Dealer
(Cleveland)
"An elegant, deeply informative text [that] weaves rich scholarship [into] family history, folk tradition, and manifest humanity. In a way that Jessica Mitford never could, Ashenburg understands the verities of
good
grief and
good
funerals and why, to deal with death, we must deal with our dead. [This book is] free of the warm-fuzzies, full of uncommon wisdom."—

Emotional Awareness
Overcoming the Obstacles to Psychological Balance
His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Paul Ekman
Holt Paperbacks
“
Emotional Awareness
—which takes the form of an extended conversation between high-caliber subject experts Paul Ekman and the Dalai Lama—offers a fresh, unique exploration of many subtle issues raised by the intersection of these disciplines. The conversation format works well here because it allows the reader to witness a personal relationship develop between two ‘scientists of the mind’ as they gently probe each other’s system of thought with striking intellectual rigor. Both have dedicated their lives to reducing psychological suffering and now, in the autumn of their careers, seem to enjoy the opportunity to refine their views through dialogue. (The two first met in 2000 through the Mind and Life Institute, which brings together the Dalai Lama and researchers to discuss scientific topics.) Full of intelligence, unexpected humor, and tender surprises,
Emotional Awareness
clarifies for the layman what the big deal is about psychology and Buddhism.”—
