How does one best fashion an internal world, a personal identity,
that creates the conditions of psychological possibility to
apprehend immortality, that almost magical Infinite-conceived as
something-outside-everything, God, or the Other-from everyday
living? The art of living the good life-following Freud, one of
deep and wide love, creative and productive work, one that is
guided by reason and ethics and is aesthetically pleasing-requires
skillful attunement to these lovely presences in everyday
life.Lodged in a psychoanalytic sensibility, and drawing from
ancient and modern religious and spiritual wisdom, this book
provides the details, conceptual structures and inner meanings of
four easily accessible, everyday activities: gardening, especially
the creations of British horticulturist and garden designer,
Gertrud Jekyll; baseball spectatorship; coffee drinking; music
listening and storytelling (i.e., in professional storytelling,
child analysis, encountering a charming person, and in love and
friendship).It also suggests how to best engage these activities,
to consecrate the ordinary in a way that points to experiential
transcendence, or what the author calls glimpsing immortality, a
core component of the art of living the good life.
