Thrive: the third metric to redefining success and creating a life of well-being, wisdom, and wonder

By Huffington, Arianna Stassinopoulos

Publishing Date: [2014]

Classification: 600

Call Number: 650.1 HUF

Our relentless pursuit of the two traditional metrics of success--money and power--has led to an epidemic of burnout and stress-related illnesses, and an erosion in the quality of our relationships, family life, and, ironically, our careers. In a commencement address Arianna Huffington gave at Smith College in the spring of 2013, she likened our drive for money and power to two legs of a three-legged stool. They may hold us up temporarily, but sooner or later we're going to topple over. We need a third leg--a third metric for defining success--to truly thrive. That third metric, she writes in "Thrive," includes our well-being, our ability to draw on our intuition and inner wisdom, our sense of wonder, and our capacity for compassion and giving. Drawing on the latest groundbreaking research and scientific findings in the fields of psychology, sports, sleep, and physiology that show the profound and transformative effects of meditation, mindfulness, unplugging, and giving, Arianna shows us the way to a revolution in our culture, our thinking, our workplace, and our lives.

Mabel Dodge Luhan & company: American moderns and the West

Publishing Date: [2016]

Classification: 700

Call Number: 700.4112

Prepared to accompany an exhibition by the same title, mounted by the Harwood Museum of Art at the Univ. of New Mexico, this handsome volume examines Luhan's efforts to promote, shape, and popularize Taos and northern New Mexico—its landscapes and Hispano and Native American cultures—as a transformational center for modernism in the arts and national culture. Concise, comprehensive, and engagingly analytical, the volume introduces readers to Luhan and the many artists, across a broad range of human expression, drawn to Taos. Luhan supported these artists, and their visionary interpretations, by providing room and board at Los Gallos, her 12-acre artist's compound in Taos. The excellent essays consider Luhan's influence, her commitment to women artists, her seminal role in the history (artistic, philosophical, cultural) of US thought in the first half of the 20th century, and the tension between Anglo patronage of traditional Hispano folk art, with its passion for the work of the santeros and their retablos and bultos, and the culture that produced it. The many color and black-and-white illustrations reveal how varied were the forms of expression produced by those who accepted Luhan's invitation to make their way to Taos. The detailed bibliography enhances the value of this book. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates; professionals; general readers.--Copyright 2016 American Library Association.

Mary Cassatt: painter of modern women

By Pollock, Griselda

Publishing Date: 2006

Classification: 700

Call Number: 759.13 POL

This radically new study redefines the American artist Mary Cassatt's status in the Parisian avant-garde and in American art, placing her work in the wider context of nineteenth-century feminism and art theory. Cassatt's art brought a New Woman's perspective to familiar spaces: the theater, the drawing-room and garden, the studio. Admired by Degas - who invited her to show with the Impressionists in 1877 - Cassatt's work reveals her profound study of Old Masters and keen responses to contemporary French and Spanish painters. Griselda Pollock puts a fresh emphasis on Cassatt's interest in Manet and her influence on American collections of French modernism. She argues that Cassatt's experimentation with etching and pastel from the late 1880s enabled her to represent children and women without sentimentality but with a deepening awareness of a complex psychological charge.--Publisher's description.

Despite all the gossip, the larger-than-life personality and influence of this very human woman has never been captured.

And he tells the full truth without losing Taylor's magic, daring, or wit. But it is the private Elizabeth that will surprise--a woman of heart and loyalty, who defends underdogs, a savvy professional whose anger at the studio's treatment of her led to a lifelong battle against that very system. Here is Elizabeth Taylor as she was meant to be, leading her epic life on her own terms, playing the game of supreme stardom at which she remains, to this day, unmatched.--From publisher description.

Howard Stern comes again

By Stern, Howard

Publishing Date: 2019

Classification: 700

Call Number: 791.4402 STE

Rock stars and rap gods. Comedy legends and A-list actors. Supermodels and centerfolds. Moguls and mobsters. A president. Over his unrivaled four-decade career in radio, Howard Stern has interviewed thousands of personalities--discussing sex, relationships, money, fame, spirituality, and success with the boldest of bold-faced names. But which interviews are his favorites? It's one of the questions he gets asked most frequently. Howard Stern Comes Again delivers his answer. This book is a feast of conversation and more, as between the lines Stern offers his definitive autobiography--a magnum opus of confession and personal exploration. Tracy Morgan opens up about his near-fatal car crash. Lady Gaga divulges her history with cocaine. Madonna reminisces on her relationship with Tupac Shakur. Bill Murray waxes philosophical on the purpose of life. Jerry Seinfeld offers a master class on comedy. Harvey Weinstein denies the existence of the so-called casting couch. An impressive array of creative visionaries weigh in on what Stern calls "the climb"--the stories of how they struggled and eventually prevailed. As he writes in the introduction, "If you're having trouble finding motivation in life and you're looking for that extra kick in the ass, you will find it in these pages." Interspersed throughout are rare selections from the Howard Stern Show archives with Donald Trump that depict his own climb: transforming from Manhattan tabloid fixture to reality TV star to president of the United States. Stern also tells of his Moby Dick-like quest to land an interview with Hillary Clinton in the run-up to the 2016 election--one of many newly written revelations from the author. He speaks with extraordinary candor about a variety of subjects, including his overwhelming insecurity early in his career, his revolutionary move from terrestrial radio to SiriusXM, and his belief in the power of psychotherapy. As Stern insightfully notes in the introduction: "The interviews collected here represent my best work and show my personal evolution. But they don't just show my evolution. Gathered together like this, they show the evolution of popular culture over the past quarter century."
