no. 13 as saying: "Honor is a great evil like persona. The reason I experience great evil is that I have a persona ... [etc.]." My C. D Lau [Penguin Books] translation says: "What is meant by saying that high rank is, like one's body, a source of trouble? The reason I have great trouble is that I have a body." The difference between a "body" and a "persona" seems outstanding to me and makes me really wonder about the standard of translation and the resulting 'psychological meanings.' This is a question I must leave open to those who know more than me.
He who knows, does not speak; he who speaks, does not know - Lao Tzu.......2006-05-24
Structuring Jung's life into six chronological chapters corresponding to the meaningful episodes of his life, Rosen sets one element of an I Ching trigram to represent an inherent theme found within each these chapters.
The Chinese ideogram for 'crisis' is composed of two pictograms; danger and opportunity, each of which is composed of a triad of aspects (or elements). The elegance of the correspondance and the fluidity of the structure, both of the significant chapters of Jung's life, and the manifestation of his philosophy and theory, is evident throughout.
Liberally interspersed throughout the text are quotations from Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu, venerable Tao masters, which enlighten and enliven quotations from Jung's work's and provide simple commentary and elegant correspondance. As Jung said, Tao is "an experience of transformation ... It is not that something is seen, but that one sees differently."
Yet despite Rosen's efforts to act as guide and synthesizer of two great conceptual icons, I felt that I could easily have read Jung and Lao Tzu directly and garnered as much insight on my own, and that journey may have been more personally rewarding.
If however, you feel that you only want a glimpse into the deeper meanings of Jungian analysis and Taoism, Rosen's work may satisfy you.
Of course Jung was a Taoist; it only makes sense.......2004-11-15
Rosen attempts to draw parallels between the psychological theories of Jung and the ancient Taoist philosophy/religion. He does this by also telling the story of Jung's personal life and relating incidents in Jung's life to his psychological framework and then linking to concepts from Taoism, usually illustrated with a quote from Lao Tzu. It is of course impossible to discuss Jung without also discussing his relationship with Freud. Freud and Jung agreed that the personal complex casts its shadow on all purely logical thought. However whereas Freud would move in the direction of bringing the complex into the light of consciousness so as to alter its influence on rational thought, Jung places far less hope in rationalism and rather wishes to move toward wholeness where rationalism plays only a role among other forces in the meaning of life. If human existence is a dark mystery, Jung would ask that we light a small candle of insight and consciousness in this vast wasteland.
I found the telling of Jung's life story, especially his later years of loss and illness and insight to be very well connected to the points Rosen made with quotes from Lao Tzu. Rosen makes a very strong case that as Jung moved out of the shadow of Freud, his theory of psychology became very Eastern and Taoist.
The Self in Jungian psychology is the central column of the psyche and yet it is related to the eternal void. Wholeness of spirit and mind and body in Jung's thought equates with the enlightenment of Zen Buddhism.
I found the tremendous resonance between Jung's thought and Taoism to be comforting and expected. Why wouldn't the thoughts of this great psychologist who was willing to incorporate spirituality into his view of wellness also be in tune with the great philosophy of the East, Taoism? It only makes sense that Jung and Lao Tzu frequently sound alike. Rosen does a good job of making this point. I recommend the book for anyone interested in study of Jung or Taoism.
I found this book frustrating to read...a big disappointment.......1999-08-25
I found this book frustrating to read. First, the writing is disjointed. The author jumps to new topics without transitions or comments on the many quotes. Second, and related to the first point, this is more of an edited volume of quotes, not an authored book with original ideas. Third, it is noteworthy to this reader that the author interprets his own failed marriage and Jung's affairs with patients as psychological growth, whereas Freud's affair with his sister-in-law was an opportunity to criticize Freud's emphasis on sex in his psychoanalysis. For readers interested in the topics of Tao and Jung, this book is likely to be a huge disappointment.
TERRIFIC, PERSONAL, HONEST & REAL.......1998-12-02
Imagine a shrink who can see and hear without claptrap and jargon. Imagine a sweet recollection of how Jung affected a life (the writers).
The book is real and terrific and a clear way of seeing the soul of Jung and the soul of a Jungian who doesn't talk in jargon.
It is almost like finding a lawyer who doesn't think he is a genius because he graduated law school and sees the world as case law; a lawyer who also speaks to be heard and understood as opposed to separate himself in some vaguely superior way in order to establish a basis for time billing from jargon alone.
The book is really a wonder of subtle sensibility and integration at a highly personal level.

Book Description
There is currently interest in the effect of peroxisome proliferation, and in proliferators and their modes of action. Peroxisomes (or "microbodies") are single membrane-limited cytoplasmic organelles present in the cells of animals, plants, fungi and protozoa.; This book describes the basic structure and functions of these organelles which are responsible for many cellular functions including an active auxilliary fatty acid B-oxidation system. During treatment with severally clinically used drugs and environmental contaminants, the synthesis of peroxisomes is greatly increased, this proliferation having a number of toxicological consequences particularly in relation to liver cancer.

On the Library Journal's Best Book List of 2005.......2006-02-12
Lots of writers have praised William Price Fox's work: Walt Kelly (the creator of Pogo), John Updike, P.G. Wodehouse, Pauline Kael, and, yes, even Bruce Springsteen (Springsteen's song, "Darlington County", was based on Fox's book, Dixiana Moon), Richard Yates, Michael Murphy (Golf in the Kingdom), and then some.
And now the Library Journal (the number one publication for Libraries in America) has ranked Satchel Paige's America as one of the top 25 books to read in 2005.
Hopefully more and more people will take notice of his great work once again. For those who have never been introduced to Fox's work, I highly recommend reading his collection of Short Stories: SOUTHERN FRIED. (Shel Silverstein wrote the music for a play based on this work of fiction.)
Myth or Journalism?.......2005-12-05
This rather unflattering portrait of a self-indulgent and motor-mouthed Satchel Paige adds little new to either the Paige legend or the history of the baseball era he represented. It also raises some serious questions about the author's journalistic approach. Why does Paige--so lucid in memory on all other matters--boast of facing Mickey Mantle during the 1948 pennant race (Mantle was a rookie in 1951), clinching the tight pennant race by defeating the Yankees (Cleveland won in a playoff with Boston), or facing manager Casey Stengel that year (when Stengel didn't arrive on the Yankee bench until 1949)? If Paige is simply forgetful or chooses to purposely distort historical facts, was doesn't the author/interviewer point this out in a footnote, or perhaps in his postscript? And how could Paige's several days of detailed and colorful ramblings be here reported in such word-for-word detail and in Paige's supposed own words if the author/interviewer made no tape recordings (something Fox claims in the postscript)? One leaves this book wondering how much in its pages is actually Satchel and how much is a fictional character dreamed up by Bill Fox?
The treatment of this supposed 1970 in-depth interview with Paige is also quite repetitious in spots (much of the Postscript is a reprise of Chapter 1) and thus the treatment seemingly lends itself far more to the original intended magazine piece and not to a full-length book. There is also little here (despite the book's misleading title) that captures the flavor of America during the 1930s and 40s eras in which Paige played.
There are far better portraits available of Satchel Paige, especially those written by Negro leagues historian John Holway.
Satchel Paige's America - Evaluation of Product & Service.......2005-09-02
Theb book was interesting and informative. I enjoyed it very much.
The price was reasonable and the service was timely and satisfactory.
WELL WRITTEN AND ENJOYABLE.......2005-07-18
As already noted, this work is the results of a seven day or so interview of the great Satchel Paige by the author in 1970. It is far more than simply a book of "baseball war stories." The interview clearly illuminates the personality of one of the greatest baseball players who ever lived (beyond a doubt the best pitcher). There was much more here, to this man than just a great arm. The author captures Paige's somewhat erratic personality. The man, Paige, was certainly a character and much more that a simple "jock." On the other hand, reading between the lines, there is a whimsical sadness ever present. As you read, you cannot help but wonder what might have been had the times been different. You get the feeling that Paige knew, ergo, the sadness. Recommend this one for any baseball fan or those simply interested in or countries history, warts and all.

Book Description
What is "Basic Japanese"? This book presents some very basic words and phrases along with some that are not usually considered "basic" at all. In fact, some of the material in this book is not typically presented until the student is well into his or her study of the Japanese language—and even then, it can be confusing without a skilled explanation. The Mangajin method, however, makes even this advanced material "basic" and accessible to students at all levels. Frames from Japanese manga ("comics") are used to illustrate every point, and English translations and notes allow even the basic beginner to understand material that might otherwise stump advanced students. Basic Japanese through Comics is not intended as a textbook, but rather as an entertaining supplement to a more formal study of Japanese. The 24 "lessons" in this book do not build on each other—they can be read or studied in any order.

A Picture's Worth 1000 Words!.......2007-06-20
This book is not for people who know nothing about Japanese language. It's not for people who want to just pick up an introductory book to start learning Japanese language, neither. If you're currently studying Japanese and in between beginner and intermediate levels, this book is a treasure for you to benefit your proficiency in Japanese. As the name of the book suggested, the author used different manga pictures to depict some common japanese phrases (e.g. ano-, su-mi-ma-sen, shi-tsu-rei, baka, etc.) in different meanings with different contexts. The author also indicated the politeness level (i.e. Lv 1,2,3,4) for each usage to help the readers use the phrases properly in various siturations. Overall this book is definitely a great helper.

A magnifying glass..........2005-06-25
This is a great book to get if you have already learned 6 months of Japanese or so (at least). It is a series of chapters illustrating a few interesting words or topics of Japanese language, all illustrated with bits of real, commercially available manga. But be warned, they use a "magnifying glass" approach which I loved: they focus on ONE word for several pages. For example, the chapter on "hon", one of the counters, goes on and on for four pages of comic book panels. I will never forget what that word means and how to use it and I was fascinated with the examples from the comics. But then again, it is just ONE word.
It is a book for people that are not in a hurry and are having fun with Japanese, as opposed to people that need to learn Japanese quickly for a particular objective.
Very good, but not basic.......2001-11-10
This is a great supplement for those studying Japanese language and culture. Don't expect to pick this up as a first Japanese book, however! In the introduction, the author admits that "Basic Japanese Through Comics" may be a little misleading. It is basic Japanese, but the book assumes that you have studied a year or more in a classroom environment.
With that aside, this is the best resource I have seen for transforming "classroom" Japanese into "natural" Japanese. The book uses popular Japanese manga to smooth out some common errors for Japanese learners. For example, there are two chapters discussing the many uses of "Hai" and one chapter on how to naturally say "anno..."
The manga used is very fun and gives a good cultural insight into daily Japan. No giant robots or magical girls, it is mainly office humor in the same line as "Dilbert." The office humor demonstrates varying levels of polite language, and Mangajin is kind enough to offer a "politeness scale" to show how polite anyone is being in a given setting. This is very useful, as politeness levels is where many English speakers find themselves in trouble in Japan!
A brillient expose on Japanese Language & Culture........1999-05-11
Two barriers separate the English world from the Japanese world. The first is language. Yet differences of culture really present the greater barrier.
This book uses authentic Japanese comics for adults to explain the cultural significance of the many words which are routinely mistranslated in all beginning Japanese text books.
Mangajin's guide to Japanese does not replace, but rather supplements the traditional Japanese spoken course in an invaluable way. This book is a must for all students of Japanese.
A truely fun book with lasting importance.
Book Description
Basic Japanese Through Comics is not intended as a textbook, but rather as an entertaining supplement to a more structured study of Japanese. The 24 "lessons" in this book are a compilation of the Basic Japanese column from Mangajin magazine; they do not build on each other, so they can be read or studied in any order. Some of the other benefits of Basic Japanese Through Comics are: Uses lifelike situations from authentic Japanese manga, the famous "comics" read by millions of Japanese people of all ages, to explain linguistic and cultural points quickly and memorably. Language is natural and colloquial, not "textbook Japanese." Politeness levels are clearly indicated to avoid inappropriate use of slang or informal speech. Beginners will find the concepts and explanations easy to understand, while old pros can add to the depth and breadth of their knowledge of Japanese language and culture. Educates and entertains—the ideal supplement to learning Japanese from textbooks. Shows all the nuances of speech such as social context, body language, and situational factors; improves understanding not just of the language, but of the people who speak it.

A Picture's Worth 1000 Words, Part-2!.......2007-07-04
This is the Part Two of Mangajin's Basic Japanese Through Comics. It provides another 24 lessons of some common japanese phrases (e.g. yappari, abunai, maitta, daijoubu, iya, mono, dekite, etc.) As the name of the book suggested, the author used different manga pictures to depict the common japanese phrases in different meanings with different contexts. The author also indicated the politeness level (i.e. Lv 1,2,3,4) for each usage to help the readers use the phrases properly in various siturations. If you're currently studying Japanese and in between beginner and intermediate levels, this book is a treasure for you to benefit your proficiency in Japanese.

Mangajin is a necessary buy for learning Japanese.......2000-04-30
I bought Mangajin (book 1 & 2) a few months ago, and I have to admit that they are worth every penny I spent! Mangajin deals with all the troubles and nuances that every learner of Japanese encounters. It uses popular Japanese manga to portray real examples so you can get a full grasp on what every word or expression would mean in context. I definitely recommend this book to everybody-it teaches you most of the stuff you'd never find in a textbook! Get this book today because it is very rare(you can't buy this book hardly anywhere else online, not even at mangajin's own website, because their stock is exhausted!)!
An Important Cultural Window.......2000-04-29
Learning Japanese through comics (manga) is not just kids' stuff. It is important to realize that in Japan, even adults read manga (check out the subway-- those business men are not plowing through the WSJ!).
Manga reveal aspects of Japanese culture that cannot be understood from textbooks-- for instance, body language gestures and colloquial phrases. This book carefully explains what the characters are saying, the context of what's going on, and why they choose the phraseology they do.
To a greater degree than in Western culture, the nuances of social interaction are crucial in Japan. Although you will be afforded leeway as a gaijin (foreigner), it helps immensely to learn some of these nuances. Understanding manga is a good place to start.
Besides, then you'll fit in on the subway!
For the student of Japanese who could use a little break ..........1999-12-06
...and the manga fanatic who wants to know what the characters are doing and saying in their favorite comic, this is THE book. This volume of 'Basic Japanese...' deals with body language and gestures, informal (and occasionally rude) expressions, cop/street slang, and the all-important discussion of 'face' in Japanese society. It also pulls its sources from a variety of manga genres---office girl, shonen and teen, salary-man, and 'ladies.' (If you thought manga was all about big-eyed schoolgirls with magical powers, robots, and apocalyptic events, you'll be in for an eye-opener.) It's not a substitute for regular Japanese classes and textbooks (sorry, kids), but it opens the door to a culture that really isn't THAT polite or subtle. And did I mention it was funny, too?
Book Description
For many of us, feelings of deficiency are right around the corner. It doesn’t take much--just hearing of someone else’s accomplishments, being criticized, getting into an argument, making a mistake at work--to make us feel that we are not okay. Beginning to understand how our lives have become ensnared in this trance of unworthiness is our first step toward reconnecting with who we really are and what it means to live fully.
--from
Radical Acceptance
Radical Acceptance
“Believing that something is wrong with us is a deep and tenacious suffering,” says Tara Brach at the start of this illuminating book. This suffering emerges in crippling self-judgments and conflicts in our relationships, in addictions and perfectionism, in loneliness and overwork--all the forces that keep our lives constricted and unfulfilled. Radical Acceptance offers a path to freedom, including the day-to-day practical guidance developed over Dr. Brach’s twenty years of work with therapy clients and Buddhist students.
Writing with great warmth and clarity, Tara Brach brings her teachings alive through personal stories and case histories, fresh interpretations of Buddhist tales, and guided meditations. Step by step, she leads us to trust our innate goodness, showing how we can develop the balance of clear-sightedness and compassion that is the essence of
Radical Acceptance.
Radical Acceptance does not mean self-indulgence or passivity. Instead it empowers genuine change: healing fear and shame and helping to build loving, authentic relationships. When we stop being at war with ourselves, we are free to live fully every precious moment of our lives.

Life Transforming!.......2007-09-24
Sometimes in life you open a book and upon reading the first sentences, paragraphs or chapters you know that the book is already speaking directly to your heart. You know the book is going to give you a new out look on the way you perceive the world. Such was my experience with Tara Brach's - Radical Acceptance; Embracing Your Life with the Heart of a Buddha.
"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field, I'll meet you there" My favorite quote from Rumi, graces the first page of this amazing gift of a book. Brach begins by moving from the ideas and descriptions of the "trances" (read kleshas) that we get ourselves involved in, into the ways that we tend to become entrenched throughout our lives, in false truths and stories of our unworthiness. What is done differently in this book is that she moves from the trances into practical, beautiful, useable meditations and ideas for how to move beyond the stories and into a new way of Being in Truth. I have been with this book for a month now. Reading, rereading, practicing the exercises and doing the meditations included at the end of each chapter. While I feel incapable of doing this book justice without going into 10 -15 pages, I must at least suggest, strongly, that if you have opportunity to read it you should consider doing so.
Chapter two; Awakening from the Trance, lays the foundation for Radical Acceptance. In this chapter Brach walks us through the idea of Radical Acceptance as the "dismantling of the very foundation of the trance" (pg 26). The chapter discusses the level of Mindfulness we are called to if we are to move beyond our conditioned reactions and stories of pain, anger, and a host of other sufferings that keep us separated from the Source of our Being. Brach does her reader the service in this chapter, of addressing common misunderstandings of Radical Acceptance. She looks at the false perceptions of Radical Acceptance being an invitation to resignation, defining ourselves by our limitations, self-indulgence, passivity and accepting our self (with a small s). In doing so she allows the reader to enter into the rest of the book with more freedom, released from the questions that might often arise around these topics.
This book feels to me, as a culmination of much that I have learned / heard. Perhaps because of the level of growth that has occurred for me over the last years I have not been able to fully integrate the learnings. This book gave me a phenomenal opportunity to recap if you will. Thus it doesn't seem too surprising for me that chapter three, The Sacred Pause was a brilliant - Aha chapter, within which there was nothing that I did not already know. It was a chapter dedicated to the ability to STOP, ever so briefly. This was not a new discovery. Instead it reminded me, reinforced for me, the question of "What does it mean to be in this world, but not of this world". I found it to be the same type of tool. The briefest of discernment moments if you will - where am I right now?
Chapter four; Unconditional Friendliness, finds the reader being asked to "invite Mara to tea (Mara being the "Evil One"), saying Yes to one's life and Naming what is true. These are the pieces that I spent the longest time with during the last month and the pieces I see as being the most transformational tools. Pieces that already have provided a pathway to releasing that which is not needed and to embracing those things that are true and present in my life.
Moving through the rest of the book we find chapters on coming home to our bodies, longings, and desires. We also see - opening up to Fear and recognizing our own goodness before moving into the closing chapters on integrating and practicing Radical Acceptance in all relationships and Realizing our own true natures.
One particularly moving story was told in Chapter nine; Widening the Circles of Compassion. It is the story of an aged Sikh elder who called two followers to his hut. Giving them each a chicken he tells them to go where no one can see and kill the chickens. One follower returns immediately with the deceased chicken, the other return many hours later with a live chicken. When asked what happened the follower explains that "everywhere I go, the chicken sees". What a powerful picture of our interconnectedness with all!
Ultimately what this book has meant for me is best summed up in the authors words in the final chapter; Realizing our own True Nature. "The path of Radical Acceptance frees us from the voices of Mara that tell us we are separate and unworthy. Whenever we become fully present, we discover the natural wakefulness and care that is inherent within us. We come to understand, in a vivid and cellular way, who we really are." Ms. Brach has truly helped to bring home to me, in a vivid and cellular way who I really am.
An illuminating insight into the backbone of the Buddhist view.......2007-08-29
A Dharma teacher recommended this to me after I told him I was having unexpectedly strong feelings of self-loathing after some meditations - this was a great suggestion, as the focus of this book is learning how to accept yourself, and others, as they are; not as you wish they were. To be in the moment, accept and really see reality as it is - not as you wish it was or fear it might be. 'Radical Acceptance' gave me an insight into how to think like a Buddhist, rather than just trying to act like one. Basically this is a 'self-help' book (with a Buddhist backbone), but as a work in that category it is perhaps a work of spiritual genius. If you have problems with accepting some part of your habitual behaviour (anger, shyness, addiction, depression - even if only seemingly mild) then you are likely to really benefit from this wonderful book
A Touching & Transformational Book For Anyone.......2007-05-12
"Radical Acceptance" is a book that will touch and expand the heart and soul of the reader. Though the content is based on Buddhism Teachings...it matters not what is your religion or spiritual belief. I have been on my own personal and ecclectic spiritual path for many years. I feel that I am an advanced student & yet Tara Brach gave me a new perspective and simple and very practical exercises on how to handle the excruciating pain that sometimes comes from experiencing life. Because she speaks "Truth" her words offer instant strength and makes you feel less alone and isolated when going through touch times. Her extraordinary book came to me at one of the most difficult times in my life and helped me immeasurably! It is a book that can be referred to...over and over. Needless to say, I am indeed so grateful for Ms Brach's touching, warm, inviting and loving content that is filled with ageless wisdom. This is one the most important books I have ever read. I highly recommend it...especially if life is "hitting you in the face" over and over!
Sincerely, Malana Mikella
Readable, Relevant and Real.......2007-03-09
Radical Acceptance sits on my bedside table holding the honored place of a book that can be read and re-read many times. The insights and messages in this book speak to core issues we all face and the possibilities of how to work with them using wisdom and compassion. It is a book with honesty, clarity and strength of purpose that can only contribute to our understanding of self and others.
Best Book for the Road to Recovery.......2007-01-16
One of the best books I have read. I suffer from Social Anxiety and this book allowed me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Before we can begin to conquer our "problems" we first must accept ourselves. I take this book with me everywhere I go and will just open it up begin to read. If you have ever wondered how to achieve an inner peace and to stay within yourself, this is the book for you.
