Advance Praise for The Trauma of Everyday Life

“Mark Epstein’s book is a rare and remarkable achievement. It fuses deep scholarship with deep tenderness—in the spirit of the greatest Buddhist teachers—to investigate the nature and psychic repercussions of trauma. The fact that Epstein can effortlessly transit between the ancient truths of Buddhism and the most contemporary understanding of trauma is a testament to his agility as a thinker. This is a wise and important book.”
—Siddhartha Muhkerjee, author of The Emperor of All Maladies

“This daring psychobiography of the Buddha divines in tales of his life the sources of his early emotional pain and finds in the Buddha’s methods a balm for the human psyche. In a breathtaking display of the therapeutic art, Epstein does ingenious psychodynamic detective work, deducing what ailed the Buddha, and why his remedies work so well. The Trauma of Everyday Life reads like a gripping mystery one told by your warm and reassuring, but utterly candid, analyst. What’s true for the Buddha, Epstein explains, applies to us all.”
—Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence

“Written with authentic originality, from the author’s own inward struggles and achievements, it is the most loving, gentle, brave, insightful, and exquisite presentation of the all too fully human process of enlightenment I have seen. Reading it engages us to look deep within to the heart as we expand our mind to appreciate the Buddha’s example in the only real way—with the joy of natural relational knowing. Buddha would have loved it—I love it! I recommend it—a transforming pleasure!”
—Robert A. F. Thurman, Jey Tsong Khapa Professor of Buddhist Studies, Columbia University; author of Essential Tibetan Buddhism

“Mark Epstein is one of the very few writers who has been able to make the connections between psychoanalysis and Buddhism seem not merely interesting, but somehow riveting and useful. Written with Epstein’s characteristic lucidity and passion, this inspired and illuminating book clarifies a lot of our presuppositions about trauma and, indeed, about everyday life. It should be of considerable interest to a great many people.”
—Adam Phillips, author of Missing Out and Winnicott

“In this intriguing and deeply moving meditation on the human condition, Mark Epstein offers a psychoanalytic reading of the Buddha’s life that illuminates the same tragedies and joys that are just as much part of our life today.”
—Stephen Batchelor, author of Confession of a Buddhist Atheist

“As always, Mark Epstein meditates on experience—his own and that of others—with exemplary intelligence, sensitivity, and tact. It is hard to imagine a book this year with more lucid and bracing wisdom.”
—Pankaj Mishra, author of An End to Suffering: The Buddha in the World

Over 40 years ago, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross wrote the seminal, ground-breaking book about loss, On Death and Dying. In it, she described the various stages of grief (denial, bargaining, eventual acceptance, etc.) that many of us have experienced with losses in our life.

Dr. Mark Epstein, a psychiatrist and Buddhist author, has now written a profound and deeply affecting book about how trauma affects our lives today. Trauma is one of the things that, no matter how much our technology advances, is always overshadowing the lives of each person on earth. Our family members die, our friends die, we grieve the loss of pets, freedom, and people who move away. In this book, Epstein describes the many ways we deal with trauma and grief, from repressing it, to denying it, to dealing with it head-on. Throughout his own auto-biographical stories and the stories of his patients, he reveals the profound insights he has learned from the teachings of the Buddha. Dr. Epstein’s writing is crisp, easy-to-read, and deeply meditative.

His words were chosen very carefully in order to convey the joys and sorrows that make up our lives today, and have made up the lives of humans for centuries. As a physician, it’s caused me to rethink how I discuss end-of-life issues with my patients and their families.

I read an OpEd piece in the NYTimes by the author and was intrigued by his deep insights. I purchased the eBook thru and never regretted it. I’ve read many books on Buddhism, philosophy, mysticism, etc. This one stands out above the rest because it masterfully blends psychology and Buddhism so that the insights into both disciplines come forth one surprising chapter after another. I can’t say enough about this volume for its analysis of Buddha’s path to enlightenment. It opened my eyes to the areas of his life that have been clouded over by generation of commentators (enlightened and not). I am referring to the trauma of his early motherless existence, the trauma of that experience, and the psychological strains Gautama underwent (and conquered) during his years of physical deprivation and denial. It deepened my understanding of why Buddhism provides such subtle psychological tools to assimilate and overcome the daily (and extraordinary) trauma of just living. I’ve recommended this book to Buddhist teachers and they have been equally impressed with this book.

Impressive, insightful, well-reasoned book, which is filled with poignant (as well as some trite) stories! Neverless, the book is too focused on our stories and our obsessions with them. In typical psychotherapist fashion, the book unfolds as though insight into our history and stories is the answer to our problems even though some key insights in the book indicate otherwise. The book devotes so much to our cognition of our histories and our reconsolidation of memories in a less dissociative manner that it basically ignores how one establishes the mode for holding and remembering our experiences in a way which makes such restructuring possible. Thus, while the book cleverly establishes parallels between pyschotherapy based particularly on modern knowledge of child development and the Buddha’s teachings, the book nearly totally ignores hugely important aspects of the Buddha’s teachings about what must be cultivated in ourselves to make such things possible. Instead, the book briefly states that the Buddha found a method to cultivate balance and equilibrium that is receptive to pent-up feelings and repressed memories which need be aired and resolved for our wellbeing. The method is left unexplained and glossed-over, which might explain why the author joyfully gives an account of a well-adjusted client having a minor but healthful insight who continues to be a patient for well more than a decade! The book falls back on the classic western approach of attempting to "grasp" and rationally solve the problem, here one of suffering. Wonder why we are out of touch? This is a huge omission, but the book nevertheless is very insightful and well worth reading. I felt less burdened afterward.

Life Inside the Bubble: Why a Top-Ranked Secret Service Agent Walked Away from It All Audible – Unabridged ridged
Author: Dan Bongino ID: B00I56SYIG

He swore to take a bullet for the President and left it all behind to take a bullet for the American people. Why would a successful, twelve-year Secret Service agent resign his position in the prime of his career to run for political office against all the odds? New York Times bestseller, Life Inside the Bubble is an intimate look at life inside the presidential “bubble,” a haze of staffers, consultants, cronies, acolytes, bureaucrats and lobbyists that creates the “alternate reality” in which monumental policy decisions are made. And it is the story of a dedicated Secret Service professional who, after years inside the “bubble,” walked away in favor of sounding a clarion call to the American people in defense of sane government and the U.S. Constitution. Finally, why the Fast & Furious scandal, the bombings in Boston and the terrorist attacks in Benghazi are harbingers of what’s to come without a bold change in direction. Take the journey with Dan Bongino from the tough streets of New York City where he was raised, and later patrolled as a member of the NYPD, to the White House as a member of the elite Presidential Protective Division, through his ultimate decision to resign from the Secret Service – during the Obama Administration – in the prime of his career to run for the United States Senate against the feared Maryland Democratic machine. Follow his experiences inside the Washington, D.C., matrix and discover why a government filled with some incredibly dedicated people nevertheless continues to make such frequent and tragic mistakes.

"Life Inside the Bubble" by Dan Bongino is the story about a man who went from being a cop and secret agent, to eventually completely abandoning his career and embarking upon the dark water of policy.

Dan Bongino started his career as member of NY Police Department, in his home city where he was raised since he was born in Queens.
Although he grew up modestly, from the start of his career he gradually started ascending the hierarchy by successful realization of his tasks, gaining greater and more important jobs that eventually led him to become a member of elite Presidential Protective Division in White House.

Because of all the things he experienced while working as secret agent, together with his own beliefs he decided to leave a long career in which he was successful.
Instead he resigned from the Secret Service in 2011 and decided to enter into uncertain world of politics, running for the United States Senate against the Democrats.

In his book he described his entire life so far, not neglecting any period, speaking about his childhood, time he spent in NYPD, the stories about him becoming Secret Service agent and time he spent working there.

And though I guess that due to his political beliefs, the book (as well as this review) will be probably a priori rejected from all those who think differently, I suggest that you dedicate some time and even if you think otherwise give it a chance (at least borrowing it from your local library).
The book is decently written and provides some information that would be of interest to every American citizen.

I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this book last week before it hit the shelves. This is a compelling biography about a former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino and his life struggles. Bongino’s story begins in Queens, NY as a child. His family was poor and life was tough. He talks about his time with the NYPD and how he landed a job with the Secrete Service. It’s packed with plenty of stories in between.

Those of you who felt compelled to write a negative review of this book should now go back and actually read it. Don’t pull a Pelosi, it’s so obvious that you never read the book because you don’t know what’s in it.

I per-ordered 3 books for Christmas gifts and will order a few more. Great job Dan Bongino, I can’t wait for the sequel!

Former Agent Dan Bongino has added a fine volume to the cannon of works on the Secret Service. I salute you, sir: you are a dedicated public servant and best of luck in all you do. Great book- very well written! Mr. Bongino speaks well on television, as well, and this book speaks just as well.

Series: University Casebook SeriesHardcover: 1568 pagesPublisher: Foundation Press; 12 edition (December 26, 2012)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 1609301382ISBN-13: 978-1609301385 Product Dimensions: 2.2 x 7.8 x 10 inches Shipping Weight: 5.4 pounds (View shipping rates and policies) Best Sellers Rank: #299,532 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #80 in Books > Law > Criminal Law > Evidence #731 in Books > Law > Rules & Procedures #2104 in Books > Textbooks > Law

This casebook contains cases, notes, materials, and other examples regarding evidence and its general rules. Evidence is one of those subjects that combines black letter law with theory. This text provides factual cases and examples of specific, and interesting situations in which evidence can or may be introduced. This text is ideal for any law student or person wishing to broaden their knowledge on the rules of evidence. This text also contains the California Evidence Code and The Federal Rules of Evidence in the back. Even though this is yet again another expensive and possibly over-priced textbook, the cases and information inside is truly helpful.

I’m not sure "love it" is the right description for a case book; however, this book was well packaged, well delivered, and as described. The book itself really is a great book for an evidence class.

I didn’t choose to buy this book, rather it was required for my Evidence course. I would seriously recommend buying the reading companion from the publisher, the book does not do a great job of explaining the basics of the rules. For instance the section of Character evidence gives a lot of information about how Character evidence has been interpreted in modern law, however there is little simple explanation of what Character Evidence is in minimal detail. In other words the book dives deep into the nitty gritty of subject matter w/o giving the reader a basic understanding of what they have just jumped into. If you made it his far through my review, I hope you have found it helpful.

Why Does Izzy Cover Her Ears? Dealing with Sensory Overload 1st Edition

Why Does Izzy Cover Her Ears? Dealing with Sensory Overload 1st Edition
Author: Visit ‘s Jennifer Veenendall Page ID: 1934575461

About the Author

Meet Izzy, a feisty first grader, whose behavior is often misunderstood as she tries to cope with sensory overload in her new surroundings. This brightly illustrated book creates an environment that is accepting of students with sensory modulation difficulties, including many on the autism spectrum. It s a great resource for occupational therapists, teachers, and parents to share with children. Resources for adults at the end of the book include definitions of sensory processing and sensory modulation disorder, suggested discussion questions and lists of related books and web sites.

Age Range: 8 and up Paperback: 39 pagesPublisher: Autism Asperger Publishing Company; 1 edition (May 18, 2009)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 1934575461ISBN-13: 978-1934575468 Product Dimensions: 10.8 x 8.3 x 0.2 inches Shipping Weight: 1 pounds (View shipping rates and policies) Best Sellers Rank: #188,056 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #81 in Books > Education & Teaching > Schools & Teaching > Special Education > Behavioral Disorders #263 in Books > Textbooks > Education > Special Education #588 in Books > Textbooks > Education > Elementary Education

Why Does Izzy Cover Her Ears? Dealing with Sensory Overload is the picturebook story of Izzy, an intelligent young girl just starting the first grade. Izzy has sensory processing disorder, which makes her over-responsive to environmental stimuli, including sounds, accidental bumps from other kids, and visual distractions. Her reflexive tendencies to cry, lash out, or cover her ears have caused other kids to accuse her of being mean, or deride her as a "crybaby". But with help from her parents, her teachers, and an occupational therapist, she is learning how to adjust. She feels calmer and ready to learn, and she’s made a lot of friends! The story is told from Izzy’s point of view, but does not talk down to the reader. A highly recommended and educational book for parents and children to share, especially if the child has sensory processing disorder or knows relatives or friends with it.

George Harrison’s stellar "It’s All Too Much" and the inane classic "Make the World Go Away" which I never liked could easily be the soundtracks for this book.

Izzy is a delightfully plausible character who MIGHT have autism. She plainly has sensory issues, one of which is an aversion for loud noises. They are painful to her, so she will cover her ears regardless of her her environment.

She is a wonderful role model for all children, neurotypical and on the spectrum alike. I wish I’d had this book when I was a child. Show me a person on the spectrum who DOESN’T hate loud noises and surprises and I will show you a buzzard who can dance and a screaming eagle who can sing.

Izzy personifies the sensory overload experience perfectly and George Harrison’s 1968 lyrics "it’s all too much for me to see….it’s all too much for me to take" sum up this story very well.

From beginning to end, I LOVED this wonderful tool for introducing sensory challenges and solutions to kids at such an important age as early elementary school years. Izzy is a wonderful role model for kids who are challenged by their senses. They can see they are not alone and see how she deals with some of her challenges at school. As important, the book provides a wonderful tool to introduce sensory issues and potential sensory overload to classmates to help them better understand their peers who might be dealing with sensory overload. This book has great potential to bridge a gap between classmates by giving a better understanding of what others might be experiencing with regards to sensory issues.

Kudos to Jennifer Veenendall for delivering to us a wonderfully illustrated and clever story which beautifully tells a story of one child that can be transferred to many, many more.

Why Does Izzy Cover Her Ears? Dealing with Sensory Overload is the picturebook story of Izzy, an intelligent young girl just starting the first grade. Izzy has sensory processing disorder, which makes her over-responsive to environmental stimuli, including sounds, accidental bumps from other kids, and visual distractions. Her reflexive tendencies to cry, lash out, or cover her ears have caused other kids to accuse her of being mean, or deride her as a "crybaby". But with help from her parents, her teachers, and an occupational therapist, she is learning how to adjust. She feels calmer and ready to learn, and she’s made a lot of friends! The story is told from Izzy’s point of view, but does not talk down to the reader. A highly recommended and educational book for parents and children to share, especially if the child has sensory processing disorder or knows relatives or friends with it.

George Harrison’s stellar "It’s All Too Much" and the inane classic "Make the World Go Away" which I never liked could easily be the soundtracks for this book.

Izzy is a delightfully plausible character who MIGHT have autism. She plainly has sensory issues, one of which is an aversion for loud noises. They are painful to her, so she will cover her ears regardless of her her environment.

She is a wonderful role model for all children, neurotypical and on the spectrum alike. I wish I’d had this book when I was a child. Show me a person on the spectrum who DOESN’T hate loud noises and surprises and I will show you a buzzard who can dance and a screaming eagle who can sing.

Izzy personifies the sensory overload experience perfectly and George Harrison’s 1968 lyrics "it’s all too much for me to see….it’s all too much for me to take" sum up this story very well.

From beginning to end, I LOVED this wonderful tool for introducing sensory challenges and solutions to kids at such an important age as early elementary school years. Izzy is a wonderful role model for kids who are challenged by their senses. They can see they are not alone and see how she deals with some of her challenges at school. As important, the book provides a wonderful tool to introduce sensory issues and potential sensory overload to classmates to help them better understand their peers who might be dealing with sensory overload. This book has great potential to bridge a gap between classmates by giving a better understanding of what others might be experiencing with regards to sensory issues.

Kudos to Jennifer Veenendall for delivering to us a wonderfully illustrated and clever story which beautifully tells a story of one child that can be transferred to many, many more.
