Engaging the Ineffable

Every day we use words like "e;desire,"e; "e;time,"e; "e;story,"e; "e;hope,"e; and "e;mastery"e; thinking we know what they mean. But these concepts are beyond words-ineffable. Do we engage these concepts in ways that trap us in confusion or lead us to happiness and success? This book will catalyze reflection and exploration of these everyday intangibles that reside in both head and heart. Engaging the Ineffable is unique in that each of the 21 topics is treated from the perspective of a psychoanalyst, neuroscientist, and Mentor Coach. Standard psychoanalytic literature tends to focus on the pathological aspects of the subjects of these essays, but not address happiness, creativity, hope, humor, inspiration, joy, and other positive transformations. The reflections In this book will lead to mindfulness and meaning, guiding us to perspectives that will lead to rewarding choices and happiness.
