The Lean Bee
Manual for a diet based only on psychological scienceSo you might be wondering who I am, what I did, to be here writing about becoming lean.I don't buy into the usual marketing paradigm in which my editor would like me to fall. I am not going to tell you my titles and epic tales, or come up with grandiose claims. All I can ask is that you give this method a proper go.I am a scientist, and while this method is not tested in academia, to create it I used a scientific method: Test things, observe, have a hunch, test again, go back to square one, and try until the prototype moves into a viable product.Like many things in life, all you need to do is to ask yourself the right questions. At one stage I came to the conclusion that people, generally speaking, don't like diets, or fitness regimes for that matter, so I set out to find a method that would help my clients lose weight without the requirement of dieting. What one looks for is what one finds, so that is what I found.
The Poetics of Eros in Ancient Greece
The Poetics of Eros in Ancient Greece offers the first comprehensive inquiry into the deity of sexual love, a power that permeated daily Greek life. Avoiding Foucault's philosophical paradigm of dominance/submission, Claude Calame uses an anthropological and linguistic approach to re-create indigenous categories of erotic love. He maintains that Eros, the joyful companion of Aphrodite, was a divine figure around which poets constructed a physiology of desire that functioned in specific ways within a network of social relations. Calame begins by showing how poetry and iconography gave a rich variety of expression to the concept of Eros, then delivers a history of the deity's roles within soci...
The Power of Divine Eros
Two innovative spiritual teachers show how to use desire and passion—eros—as a gateway to realizing our fullest potential What do desire and passion have to do with our spiritual journey? According to A. H. Almaas and Karen Johnson, they are an essential part of it. Conventional wisdom cautions that desire and passion are opposed to the spiritual path—that engaging in desire will take you more into the world, into egoic life. And for most people, that is exactly what happens. We naturally tend to experience wanting in a self-centered way. The Power of Divine Eros challenges the view that the divine and the erotic are separate. When we open to the energy, aliveness, spontaneity, and zes...
Eros
Eros considers a promise left unfulfilled in Sigmund Freud’s Beyond the Pleasure Principle. Rosaura Martínez Ruiz argues that when the pleasure principle comes into contact with the death drive (the human tendency toward aggression or cruelty), the psyche can take detours that, without going beyond the limit of the pleasure principle, can nevertheless defer it. Eros reflects on these deviations of the pleasure principle, in the political sphere and in the intimate realm. Following these erotic paths, Martínez argues that the forces of the death drive can only be resisted if resistance is understood as an ongoing process. In such an effort, erotic action and the construction of pathways f...

Eros the Bittersweet
Named one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time by the Modern Library Anne Carson’s remarkable first book about the paradoxical nature of romantic love Since it was first published, Eros the Bittersweet, Anne Carson’s lyrical meditation on love in ancient Greek literature and philosophy, has established itself as a favorite among an unusually broad audience, including classicists, essayists, poets, and general readers. Beginning with the poet Sappho’s invention of the word “bittersweet” to describe Eros, Carson’s original and beautifully written book is a wide-ranging reflection on the conflicted nature of romantic love, which is both “miserable” and “one of the greatest pleasures we have.”

Eros
Eros, son of Aphrodite and King Arin, ruler of Sparta, has raced ahead of the rest of his soldiers. Eros is faster than any animal or human. He waited at the edge of the cliff, and he sees the battle ships coming into the harbor. They are still a ways off, and Eros thinks his men should arrive in time to defend this city. He is a tall, lean man, with sharp features. He has green eyes and blond hair. He is incredibly handsome, and he wears bronze armor forged by Hephaestus himself. On his chest plate is a two-headed phoenix. He has his bow slung over his shoulder, and on his shield is a painting of all twelve Olympians. He carried a black spear with a steel head. His sword is bronze, with a lightning bolt on the hilt. All these were gifts from Aphrodite for his eighteenth birthday. She enchanted his bow to make anyone fall madly in love with the first person you see after youre struck. Also she gave him a magical harp that can lull anyone to sleep, except the one playing it.
