Jordan peterson book 12 rules for life5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Peterson, who was once described as “the most influential public intellectual in the Western world”, has himself authored three books - Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief (1999), 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos (2018) and its sequel Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life (2021). On his website, Jordan Peterson has listed a few book recommendations, which he believes played a part in his “intellectual development”. His vast canvas of knowledge and standing as a social figure is a testament to that. He believes a common quality that one could find among some of the most successful people is the “ability to articulate”, which he says comes through reading, along with writing. But, above all, he is a reputed name in academia and a well-known public figure. He is an author, podcast host, online educator and commentator, too. ![]() Canadian clinical psychologist and professor Jordan Peterson wears many hats. ![]()

Ideas a history from fire to freud5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Looking at animal behaviour that appears to require some thought – tool-making, territoriality, counting, language (or at least sounds), pairbonding – Peter Watson moves on to the apeman and the development of simple ideas such as cooking, the earliest language, the emergence of family life. The book begins over a million years ago with a discussion of how the earliest ideas might have originated. In this hugely ambitious and exciting book Peter Watson tells the history of ideas from prehistory to the present day, seeking a new way to tell the history of the world. ![]()

Copenhagen by Michael Frayn5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() When quantum theory was first discovered, it caused a great sensation among philosophers and philosophically inclined scientists. Both men were pioneers in the development of quantum physics during the early decades of the twentieth century: Bohr is best known for his model of the atom as a microscopic solar system, with electrons circling the nucleus in determinate energy positions, as well his as account of quantum theory known as the Copenhagen Interpretation Heisenberg is known for the famous principle that bears his name according to which you cannot simultaneously determine the position and momentum of a particle. Michael Frayn’s play, now playing on Broadway after a long run in London, concerns a meeting that took place in September 1941, between Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg. Look, I know this is supposed to be a film column, but I can’t resist the opportunity of commenting on a play that I saw recently, for Copenhagen is one of the most philosophically interesting plays that I have ever seen. Thomas Wartenberg reports on the play Copenhagen by Michael Frayn. SUBSCRIBE NOW Theatre Copenhagen Our new film columnist has discovered an exciting new type of movie: there’s no screen and the parts are played by live actors, in real time. ![]()

Losing lila by sarah alderson5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I could see Alex in the distance, his skin gleaming in the now inky moonlight. With a deep breath, I tore off my dress then kicked off my underwear and started running towards the sea, praying Nate wasn’t doing a fly-by. I paused for a nanosecond, weighing up my embarrassment at stripping naked over my desire to follow him. He shrugged off his shorts, but before I could catch an eyeful of anything, he was off, jogging towards the water. Alex’s hands dropped to his shorts and he started undoing his belt. My eyes flitted to the shadowed hollows where his hips disappeared into his shorts, causing a flutter in parts of my body that up until three weeks ago had been flutter-dormant. ![]() My eyes fell straightaway to his chest – which was tanned, smooth and ripped with muscle, and which, when you studied it as I had done, in detail, you discovered wasn’t a six-pack but actually a twelve-pack. ‘Swim?’ I pouted, unable to hide my disappointment that he wanted to swim rather than make out with me.Īlex pulled his T-shirt off in one swift move. ![]() ‘What might that be?’ I managed to stutter, closing my eyes, anticipating the warmth of his lips against mine. “First I need to do something.’ He pulled me closer towards him until our lips were almost touching. ![]()

Sister carrie 19005/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Saul Bellow, for instance, advised readers to take Sister Carrie at a gallop. He is no stylist, and yet the raw power of his narrative trumps the sometimes excruciating clunk of his prose. ![]() I will be the first to concede that Dreiser does not now look anything like their equal. Later, America's first Nobel laureate, Sinclair Lewis, said that Dreiser's powerful first novel "came to housebound and airless America like a great free Western wind, and to our stuffy domesticity gave us the first fresh air since Mark Twain and Whitman". In some ways it's crude and heavy-handed, blazing with coarse indignation, but in its day it was, creatively speaking, a game-changer. Sister Carrie is one of several novels in this series that address the American dream, and it does so in a radical spirit of naturalism that rejected the Victorian emphasis on morality. ![]()

The siren by tiffany reisz5/13/2023 ![]() Sensationalistic but not overly compelling. While both characters are well drawn, the author never quite makes either completely sympathetic, and many are likely to find the themes contained in the story-including hard-core S&M and a sexual relationship with a Catholic priest-objectionable. As both battle their demons-Nora, a sadistic old lover and Zach, regret over his failed-they find a true connection. Zach soon finds that Nora isn't the trash-writing trollop he assumed, but a complicated woman whose twisted ideas of love were formed early in life. Zach takes on the project with one caveat: he will have complete creative control. Megibow, THE SIREN is a modern-day retelling of 'My Fair Lady' with uptight English literary fiction editor Zachary Easton as an unwilling Professor Higgins and well-known wild child Nora Sutherlin as his erotica-writing Eliza Doolittle. Zachary, still shell-shocked by his impending divorce back in his native Britain, is six weeks away from moving to the publisher's Los Angeles office and the last thing he wants to do is edit what he considers to be trash. You can find Tiffany Reisz online at her website, and on Twitter. ![]() The head of her new publisher orders Zachary Easton to edit Nora's novel. ![]() In a story with themes that will cross the line for some readers, Reisz tackles the story of erotica writer Nora Sutherlin.who is leaving her old publishing house. ![]()
