Eyal lays bare the secret of finally doing what you say you will do with a four-step, research-backed model. Indistractable reveals the key to getting the best out of technology, without letting it get the best of us."--Amazon.com....

"You can be lonely anywhere, but there is a particular flavor to the loneliness that comes from living in a city, surrounded by thousands of strangers. The Lonely City is a roving cultural history of urban loneliness, centered on the ultimate city: Manhattan, that teeming island of gneiss, concrete, and glass. What does it mean to be lonely? How do we live, if we're not intimately involved with another human being? How do we connect with other people,...

Using examples from art and literature, Frantzen explores the social, political and economic implications of both real and imagined depression. Is feeling blue a symptom of the death of progress? Was the suicide of David Foster Wallace a proverbial canary in a coalmine? Margaret Thatcher once declared that there is, no alternative to the social order, that we now, reside within. Have we accepted her slogan as a fact, and is that why so many are on...

This slender volume spans over ninety years of Jodorowsky's psychological, spiritual, and artistic development through a series of episodic fantasy/adventure stories peppered with love letters from the author.

Suse Lowenstein lost her son Alex in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. In an effort to come to terms with her grief, Suse turned to her art.

Un psicoanalista en el cine no es un libro sobre psicoanálisis aunque tampoco sea, en el sentido más estricto del término, un libro sobre cine. En él se conjuga la experiencia clínica como método de exploración y la cinefilia bien entendida para, a partir de ambas, abrir un nuevo horizonte de sentidos.
