Adam Phillips has been called "the psychotherapist of the floating world" and "the closest thing we have to a philosopher of happiness." His style is epigrammatic; his intelligence, electric. His new book, Darwin's Worms, uses the biographical details of Darwin's and Freud's lives to examine endings-suffering, mortality, extinction, and death. Both Freud and Darwin were interested in how destruction conserves life. They took their inspiration from fossils or from half-remembered dreams. Each told a story that has altered our perception of our lives. For Darwin, Phillips explains, "the story to tell was how species can drift towards extinction; for Freud, the story was how the individual tended to, and tended towards his own death." In each case, it is a death story that uniquely illuminates the life story.Binding Type: Paperback

Love this book!!
Format: Paperback
This book had me from go…the thought of choosing Joy as an act of defiance, not a denial of reality, resonates with me so deeply! I’m still reading, but I have already gifted two copies to dear friends!

Standing Up for Joy Even When You Dont Feel Like it!
Format: Kindle
Admittedly, i wanted this to be a faster read. I could point my finger at the author, but rather I recognized that God wanted it slow. Just for me. To give me option to savor and hear what He had to say to me about being resilient. And that He is the reason I am resilient.
If you're stuck in your head, stuck in the dark, stuck in a bad relationship (work or home), cant see the way forward, I invite you to pause and sit with this very good read!

Great quality at an unbeatable price!
I was a little worried that this would be cheap quality, but it's not. It's sturdy, modern and fits perfectly under my bathroom sink. I use it to hold my washcloths that I use to clean my face. It's the best way to store them so that they can air dry and not look gross and soggy out on my counter, lol. Love this product so much that I intend to purchase one for my kitchen, just wanted to check the quality first. I'm sure that I'll have this for years to come, such a great purchase!

Excellent cabinet towel rack.
I had no doubt that this item had to be good from the moment I saw the detailed pictures of it on Amazon. The item is built very well out of stainless steel and adjusts easily to fit the cabinet door in the kitchen. I am so impressed by the way it is working. I can hang 6 different wash clothes/towels on it and not have to have them clutter the sink area. I am very impressed by this item. The fact that it adjusts in length also means that I can get the most use out of it.
