Healing Night
In Healing Night, sleep and dream expert Rubin Naiman explores sleeping, dreaming, and awakening, going far beyond the science of sleep medicine to reflect on what he believes is the profoundly spiritual nature of night consciousness. Naiman reveals how the erosion of night by artificial light and the devaluation of sleep and dreaming have led to an epidemic of sleep disorders and consequent days of chronically dazed waking consciousness. Drawing on both clinical experience and personal explorations, Naiman offers a fresh look at sleep and dreams, and provides alternative healing practices for sleep disturbances. Moreover, he challenges us to acknowledge our spiritual night blindness and embrace the sacredness of night. This edition was revised in 2009.

Happiness is something we hear about every day. We hear people say it all the time "I'm happy about it," "We are a happy family," "I'm not happy" and on and on. Yet we hear it in the movies and in songs that we want to be happy, to find happiness, and we think we know what that is and we think we know where it is hiding. If we could only get that one thing, that thing that will turn our life around and then we could be happy forever. No more sadness. When I ask people if they're happy I always get the proverbial deer in the headlights look because the question stumps them and it stumped me too for about 60 years but I believe I have found the answer and I definitely know how to answer that q...
