Mapping Desire
Author: David Bell
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 0415111633
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
This is the first book to explore sexualities from a geographical perspective. The nature of place and notions of space are of increasing centrality to cultural and social theory. Mapping Desire presents the rich and diverse world of contemporary sexuality, exploring how the heterosexual body has been appropriated and resisted on the individual, community and city scales. The geographies presented here range across Europe, America, Australasia, Africa, the Pacific and the imaginary, cutting across city and country and analysing the positions of gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and heterosexuals. The contributors ring different interests and approaches to bear on theoretical and empirical material from a wide range of sources. The book is divided into four sections: cartographies/identities; sexualised spaces: global/local; sexualised spaces: local/global; sites of resistance. Each section is separately introduced. Beyond the bibliography, an annotated guide to further reading is also provided to help the reader map their own way through the literature.

The Fire Starter Sessions
Author: Danielle LaPorte
Publisher: Harmony
ISBN: 0307952126
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
The Fire Starter Sessions is an apathy-kicking, integrity-infusing guide to defining success on your own terms. Danielle LaPorte’s straight-talk life-and-livelihood sermons have been read by over one million people. Bold but empathetic, in The Fire Starter Sessions she reframes popular self-help and success concepts, including: - Life balance is a myth, and the pursuit of it is causing us more stress then the craving for balance itself. - Being well-rounded is over-rated. When you focus on developing your true strengths, you enter your mastery zone. - Screw your principles (they might be holding you back). - We have ambition backwards. Getting clear on how you want to feel in your life + work is more important than setting goals. It's the most potent form of clarity that you can have, and it's what leads to true fulfillment.

Map of Desire
Author: Fu-Ding Cheng
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781939116918
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Map of Desire is an elegant, innovative, and powerful blueprint for self-fulfillment. Through the power of pictures, it reveals inner landscapes. By seeing the topography of our own psyche, we can then identify, locate and (with the aid of transformative Practices), conquer those inner demons that typically sabotage our best efforts. Furthermore, as with all maps, we can see clear paths towards our true destinations all the way to personal freedom. Thanks to Fu-Ding Cheng's background in art and architecture, the "maps" are expertly designed, beautifully illustrated, and wonderfully instructive. Based on timeless wisdom traditions East and West, and informed by his own breakthrough awakening with world renowned shaman don Miguel Ruiz, the writing is as clear as it is authoritative, the practices effective as they are timely. With bold promise and sense of adventure, this book invites you to a journey rich and rewarding. "Fu-Ding is a nagual, a Master...Study these maps, follow the guidance, and you will find yourself enjoying your journey towards self-fulfillment." --don Miguel Ruiz Fu-Ding Cheng began his career as an architect, but has dedicated the past three decades to books, films, and spirituality. Since life-changing experiences with shaman, don Miguel Ruiz, he has been devoted to distilling the highest wisdoms into practical pathways to personal freedom for everyone.

Why We Do What We Do
Author: Edward L. Deci
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0140255265
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
What motivates us as students, employees, and individuals? If you reward your children for doing their homework, they will usually respond by getting it done. But is this the most effective method of motivation? No, says psychologist Edward L. Deci, who challenges traditional thinking and shows that this method actually works against performance. The best way to motivate people—at school, at work, or at home—is to support their sense of autonomy. Explaining the reasons why a task is important and then allowing as much personal freedom as possible in carrying out the task will stimulate interest and commitment, and is a much more effective approach than the standard system of reward and punishment. We are all inherently interested in the world, argues Deci, so why not nurture that interest in each other? Instead of asking, "How can I motivate people?" we should be asking, "How can I create the conditions within which people will motivate themselves?" "An insightful and provocative meditation on how people can become more genuinely engaged and succesful in pursuing their goals." —Publisher's Weekly

Read My Desire
Author: Joan Copjec
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1781688885
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
In Read My Desire, Joan Copjec stages a confrontation between the theories of Jacques Lacan and those of Michel Foucault, protagonists of two powerful modern disciplines—psychoanalysis and historicism. Ordinarily, these modes of thinking only cross paths long enough for historicists to charge psychoanalysis with an indifference to history, but here psychoanalysis, via Lacan, goes on the offensive. Refusing to cede history to the historicists, Copjec makes a case for the superiority of Lacan’s explanation of historical processes and generative principles. Her goal is to inspire a new kind of cultural critique, one that is “literate in desire,” and capable of interpreting what is unsaid in the manifold operations of culture.
