{"product_id":"re-visioning-narcissism-gary-rosenthal-9781948796910","title":"Re-Visioning Narcissism: Healing Heresies for Polarized Times","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince the early 20th century, when modern psychology was in its infancy, and attempting to establish itself as a legitimate medical and scientific discipline, it largely divorced itself from its close cousins--the world's religious and spiritual traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe infant discipline had a mantra it was to follow: \u003cem\u003eWhere Id is, there shall Ego be\u003c\/em\u003e. But its egoic-primacy offered little aid either for \u003cem\u003espiritual awakening\u003c\/em\u003e, or \u003cem\u003etransforming narcissism\u003c\/em\u003e (the early psychoanalysts considered the former \u003cem\u003eillusory\u003c\/em\u003e, the latter \u003cem\u003euntreatable\u003c\/em\u003e). It failed to see them as two wings of the same inner work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd the clinical tradition was left with a very partial view of narcissism's contours--like \"blind people describing an elephant.\" And a diminished sense of what its complete \u003cem\u003eopposite\u003c\/em\u003e--and thus, its full healing--even \u003cem\u003elooks\u003c\/em\u003e like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd so, for the plethora of books written about narcissism ever since, they haven't much helped. If anything, our collective narcissism has only \u003cem\u003eincreased\u003c\/em\u003e. And now is oozing out of all the nooks and crannies of a culture--even its White House.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet for thousands of years there've been spiritual lineages whose perspective--and body of practices--would be helpful adjuncts for modern psychology. For they'd freed adepts from narcissism's ego-centric, erotically crippled, and polarized vision. This book will provide some of this missing perspective, and some of their practices, in the attempt to heal the century-long divorce between psychology and spirituality. For we humans aren't pie charts. Psyche and spirit \u003cem\u003ebelong\u003c\/em\u003e together. And we need \u003cem\u003eall the help we can get\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiven all narcissism can impact--our \u003cem\u003eeros\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003epolitics\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eglobal warming\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003epandemics\u003c\/em\u003e--it's time to re-vision it. But this \"re-visioning,\" and the skillful means it would offer can't merely concern a few \"adepts.\" It's now a planetary and \u003cem\u003eevolutionary\u003c\/em\u003e imperative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Rosenthal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1948796910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948796910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Epigraph Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.85d","brand":"Gary Rosenthal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153880658175,"sku":"9781948796910","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_313a3e3f-283c-4d07-8424-a42ba9a57d3a.jpg?v=1770786458","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/re-visioning-narcissism-gary-rosenthal-9781948796910","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
