"The journey from arrogance to compassion forces a man to confront his inner demons and come close to the brink of madness"--

"Are Eastern practices useful for psychological growth? Is psychoanalysis an aid on an Eastern path? Carl Gustav Jung had the realization of the existence of a center deep within our being, the Self, the discovery of which is the goal of individuation: the process of psychological development. Unable to find analogies to the Self in Christianity, he turned to Eastern religions, uncovering and finding a reflection of this miracle in Daoism and Hinduism, while also examining Buddhism and Sufism. Eastern paths and their practices, such as meditation, mindfulness, and yoga, have been absorbed into Western culture. It is thus timely to approach the contemporary relevance of Eastern religions and practices to the Jungian path of individuation. These essays are personal, engaging, and contain a refined analysis of whether these two paths may work together or are pointing to different end points.

A rip-roaring journey through the highs and lows of tour lifeWelcome aboard the tour van of Major Threat-Brooklyn's finest rock band yet to catch a break-as they traverse the US of A on a last-ditch summer festival tour. On drums we've got "band dad" Ed, the stoic drummer who keeps bumping into tech bro coworkers that he can't quite relate to. On bass, there's Paul, a man of mostly mystery, who drinks hard and yet manages to glide through life, intelligible to no one except energy-drink-guzzling Marco, the baby of the band and newest replacement lead singer. And of course there's the gentle and serene Lilith, a weed-lollipop-sucking, stuffed-animal-backpack-wearing guitarist healing from heartbreak. There's sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, sure, but there are also tender moments as the motley crew take turns behind the wheel, compiling lists of the hottest hunks and best guitar riffs to pass the miles. From tour fashion to breakdowns-mechanical and emotional-Leslie Stein holds no bars in this incredibly funny and heartfelt love letter meets parody of life on the road.Her first full-length fiction, Brooklyn's Last Secret expertly showcases Stein's trademark cocktail of charm, wit, and whimsey, leaving readers decidedly affected by their time spent in her world.
