"Through the use and study of photography, archives, literature, television, film, and installation art, Marcos Gonsalez makes a case for the role that indolence plays in challenging a neoliberal capitalist economy that is deeply embedded with cis-heteronormative and white supremacist values. By focusing on the ways in which queer/trans Latinx people find ways to demonstrate their lack of willing participation in these systems, he finds that dozing, slacking, daydreaming, partying, and lounging revolt against these systems and in turn are treated as being "revolting." Everything from the trans ur-text that is Paris is Burning, and the subsequent controversies, conversations, and evaluations of it in the decades since its debut, to RuPaul's Drag Race, to documentary photography of queer and trans life in Chicanx Los Angeles to writings and remembrances of the Pulse nightclub shootings, visuality, memory, racial and sexual identity merge together to shape alternative paths of resistance and ways of living within this culture and its economy"--
Novels have been a respectable component of culture for so long that it is difficult for twentieth-century observers to grasp the unease produced by novel reading in the eighteenth century. William Warner shows how the earliest novels in Britain, published in small-format print media, provoked early instances of the modern anxiety about the effects of new media on consumers. Warner uncovers a buried and neglected history of the way in which the idea of the novel was shaped in response to a newly vigorous market in popular narratives. In order to rein in the sexy and egotistical novel of amorous intrigue, novelists and critics redefined the novel as morally respectable, largely masculine in a...
The book is primarily directed, at those who have ended up in prison. Its boot camp narrated content, is a spiritual attempt to help the criminal mind out of its criminality.

Often linked, to a not life-supportive unhappy home & immature parental environment in infancy & childhood. To then unconsciously, cause crippling happiness & joy in later adulthood…also called delinquency. A adult fat...
Jnana Yoga shows the seeker that everything in the body, personality, thoughts, memories, and experiences has form and is changeable and, thus, is neither essential nor eternal. Its contemplative practice identifies the witnessing consciousness within--all that remains when the ephemeral is eliminated--as the real Self, the one and only unchanging eternal Being.
If you could take one book with you that would be your complete guidebook to rethinking every aspect of your life, Delusion is Good would be that book. Its subtitle, "A Visionary Guide to Extraordinary Outcomes" tells you a great deal about this remarkabla amalgamation of some of the great human behavior guidelines of all time, plus some very new ways of looking at life as we see it in this exciting and challenging new Millennium. For anyone who ever wanted to tap the visionary potentals in themselves, Delusion is Good may just be the consummate sourcebook for the next couple of decades at least.
