Press Release: EMPTY ABUNDANCE; Finding Meaning Through Mindful Giving by Tim McCarthy
Empty Abundance: Finding Meaning Through Mindful Giving
Billboards, TV commercials, radio jingles—they all sell us the same story. “You can buy happiness! The more money you make, the fuller your life will be.” So we buy the shiny new sports car, the sleek designer wardrobe, the gorgeous two-story house. We work hard and make a handsome profit from our labors…and yet we can still feel empty inside.
We’ve all been sold a bill of goods by the dominant consumer culture: that we can spend our way t...

REVIEW: BLUE NIGHTS by Joan Didion
We live with a certain expectation about the possibility of burying a spouse and even more certainty about out living our parents, but most of us do not even entertain the idea of outliving our child.
Despite living the glamorous life of an innovative successful author, Joan Didion's life has handed her more than her fair share of tragedy. In Blue Nights, the beloved author shares in a narrative her experience as the mother of a unique, yet deeply troubled daughter, Quintana Roo.

HIDDEN REALMS by Marta Moran Bishop and Patricia Moran
What is it about the paranormal? Is it the eerie feeling we get when presented with the possibilities or is it simply the escapism it provides? Either way, I've always been attracted to the stories.
Hidden Realms is collection of three short stories, The Other Side, The Night of the Fairies, and The Hollowers . Author Marta Moran Bishop and her late mother Patricia Moran wrote the beginnings of these stories several years ago.
The Night of the Fairies is a sweet story of a girl adopted by a trib...

THE SOCIOPATH NEXT DOOR by Martha Stout
12 Million Americans are Sociopaths that means in every group of 25 we can expect there is at least one individual without a conscience. According to Martha Stout in her book The Sociopath Next Door, only about 20% of these are incarcerated.
I originally read Dr. Stout's book in 2007 and recently revisited it on audio. In The Sociopath Next Door , through actual cases from her psychotherapy practice, she develops a guide for recognizing the sociopaths in our lives. Surprisingly, she has ve...

“One often feels exalted, expanded, in his presence. He is not one of those egotists who miniaturize others. He is the opposite kind of egotist, driven by grandiosity rather than greed, and if he insists on a version of you that is funnier, stranger, more eccentric and profound than you suspect yourself to be--capable of doing more good and more harm in the world than you've ever imagined--it is all but impossible not to believe, at least in his presence and for a while after you've left him that he alone sees through to your essence, weighs your true qualities (not all of which are necessarily flattering--a certain clumsy, childish rudeness is part of his style), and appreciates you more fully than anyone else ever has.” — Michael Cunningham
