THE HUMAN TOUCH: MY FRIENDSHIP AND WORK WITH PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY
John G. W. Mahanna
Hardcover, Paperback, ebook
A handsome, tall, thin fellow approached me. He was dressed in a tweed jacket, khaki trousers, wore brown loafers and carried a cane.
“You look pretty depressed, pal,” he said with a smile as he sat down beside me. “Anything I can do for you?” he asked.
Then he introduced himself.
“I’m Jack Kennedy. What is your name?”
When I answered, informing him of my Massachusetts background, he sparkled, wanting to be filled in on why I was in uniform sitting there alone in the lobby of the Palace Hotel…
This fortunate encounter sparked almost two decades of friendship between John F. Kennedy and the author, John G. W. Mahanna. The Human Touch is Mahanna’s unique memoir, which shows Kennedy as a genuine friend, and which also reveals the savvy inner workings of JFK’s political campaigns. Readers will gain a fresh perspective of JFK by seeing him through a friend’s eyes, and experiencing his “human touch” — his unbounded charisma, humor, and warmth.

Published as a large, “coffee-table” book, bound in hardcovers, and printed in full color, Early Jackie is an unique, curated journey through Jackie’s life up to and including her high school years. It includes the extraordinary, earliest-known color photo of Jackie (smelling a flower on her 14th birthday in 1943), photos of Jackie with her family and friends, and with her beloved horses and dogs, and other treasures. Early Jackie will delight the Jackie-lover in your life.

POSITIVE DISINTEGRATION
Kazimierz Dabrowski, M.D., Ph.D.
Hardcover, Paperback, Audiobook, ebook
Kazimierz Dabrowski refers to his view of personality development as the theory of positive disintegration. He defines disintegration as disharmony within the individual and in his adaptation to the external environment. Anxiety, psychoneurosis, and psychosis are symptoms of disintegration. In general, disintegration refers to involution, psychopathology, and retrogression to a lower level of psychic functioning. Integration is the opposite: evolution, psychic health, and adequate adaptation, both within the self and to the environment. Dabrowski postulates a developmental instinct—that is, a tendency of man to evolve from lower to higher levels of personality. He regards personality as primarily developing through dissatisfaction with, and fragmentation of, the existing psychic structure—a period of disintegration—and finally a secondary integration at a higher level. Dabrowski feels that no growth takes place without previous disintegration. He regards symptoms of anxiety, psychoneurosis, and even some symptoms of psychosis as the signs of the disintegration stage of this evolution, and therefore not always pathological.
PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT THROUGH POSITIVE DISINTEGRATION: THE WORK OF KAZIMIERZ DABROWSKI
William Tillier, M.Sc.
Hardcover, Paperback, ebook
In his Theory of Positive Disintegration, Polish psychiatrist and psychologist Dr. Kazimierz Dabrowski (1902–1980) proposed an approach to personality development in which crises are not only necessary but fundamental in creating opportunities for individual development. Crises force our focus inward, leading us to challenge our established beliefs, roles and routines. While crises often resolve with a return to the status quo, recovery is sometimes stymied and posttraumatic stress results. In other cases, however, the outcome is posttraumatic growth. The individual experiences a process of disintegration, a loosening of the components of personality that allows for an examination and re-evaluation of the self. One rebuilds after a crisis, implementing conscious and deliberate changes to reshape the personality toward increased autonomy, uniqueness and the realization of one’s ideal personality. This work provides a comprehensive yet balanced overview of Dabrowski’s Theory of Positive Disintegration in its historical and present-day contexts and demonstrates its continued relevance in today’s most vital areas of psychology, including posttraumatic growth, education, neuroscience, and personality theory.
PERSONALITY & GROWTH: A HUMANISTIC PSYCHOLOGIST IN THE CLASSROOM
Abraham H. Maslow
Hardcover, Paperback
In the winter of 1963-'64, American psychologist Abraham H. Maslow taught "Experiential Approaches to Personality" at Brandeis University. An exercise in experiential learning, the course explored ways to recover neglected and often repressed aspects of personality and become aware of the unconscious and preconscious operating within the psyche. In practice, Maslow's unconventional class became a remarkably stimulating blend of lectures and far-reaching discussions that often reflected the conflicting viewpoints and tumultuous events of an America on the cusp of major social changes. Maslow encouraged students to think for themselves, to engage with and challenge his views and their own, and to accept the mantle of responsibility that life thrusts upon us all.
Now, for the first time, readers can take their own front-row seat in this groundbreaking course. Personality & Growth: A Humanistic Psychologist in the Classroom contains the transcribed recordings of Maslow's remarkable work with his students. With a contextualizing introduction by Maslow's graduate student assistant, annotations, and an extensive bibliography of the works discussed in class, Personality & Growth is a rich resource for psychologists, students, and anyone interested in the "farther reaches of human nature." What shines throughout these compelling transcripts is a unique picture of "Abe" Maslow: teacher, psychologist, scientist and human being--a creative and compassionate thinker possessing a unique and lively genius.

REVERENCE FOR LIFE: THE WORDS OF ALBERT SCHWEITZER
Albert Schweitzer
Hardcover, Paperback, ebook
Gathered together for the first time in one place, Nobel Peace Prize-winner Albert Schweitzer’s words on ecology, human and animal rights, philosophy, war and peace, music and the arts, and forming a global community.
“I cannot but have Reverence for all that is called life. I cannot avoid compassion for everything that is called life. That is the beginning and foundation of morality.” ~ Albert Schweitzer
Spanning many decades and a host of topics, this rich collection of the words of Albert Schweitzer offers a glimpse into the life and thought of an eminent humanitarian.
“Reverence for Life” was Schweitzer’s unifying term for a concept of ethics. He believed that such an ethic would reconcile the drives of altruism and egoism by requiring a respect for the lives of all other beings and by demanding the highest development of an individual’s resources. The thread of this inspirational belief appears throughout his deeply insightful writings. Excerpts from previously unpublished letters to John F. Kennedy, Norman Cousins, Bertrand Russell, and others show how truly committed Schweitzer was to creating a global consciousness and cultivating a dignity toward all people. A foreword by former U.S. Ambassador, Roger Gamble, an introduction by the editor, Harold E. Robles, and a brief biographical sketch of Schweitzer’s life round out this stunning collection of quotations.
ALBERT SCHWEITZER: AN ADVENTURER FOR HUMANITY
Harold E. Robles
Hardcover, Paperback, ebook
Dr. Albert Schweitzer was one of the greatest humanitarians the world has ever known. This biography for young readers chronicles his long life and accomplished career. Generously illustrated with rare photographs, Albert Schweitzer: An Adventurer for Humanity takes readers through young Albert's early years in Germany. We learn of his love of music, and of the studies in theology and philosophy that informed his decision to devote the rest of his life to serving humanity. It was this decision that led to his renowned humanitarian work in Africa, including his building of a hospital at the river mission in Lambaréné.
It was while traveling down the Ogowe River in Africa that Albert had a powerful insight that shone brightly throughout his later years: "Reverence for Life." This idea led him to become a champion of world peace and human and animal rights.
Today hospitals throughout the world bear Albert Schweitzer's name in recognition of his immense contribution to humanity, and his work continues to inspire new generations. The life of Albert Schweitzer serves as an example not just of what one person can do, but of how all of us can contribute our own light to help make the world a better place.
