Rule the world and take control of your emotional and mental health
from where you sit, stand, and sleep. Chapter by chapter, learn how
to tackle it all—relationships, clutter, health, communities,
inner balance, and more—by looking within your immediate
environment to make direct connections in your life. The Holistic
Home is based on an original lifestyle concept focused on creating
a dynamic, healthy, and thoughtful space within yourself and your
home by combining three planes of action—mind, body, and
spirit—that result in profound change. The condition of the mind
affects the psychology of how you dwell: subconscious influences,
decorating with intention, and allowing your emotional issues and
challenges to manifest in your space. The physical aspects of your
design space, such as furniture positioning, design elements,
sustainability, wellness, and organization, are representative of
your relationship with your body. And finally, the spirit refers to
all the invisible energies within you and your home—feng shui,
atmosphere, and the soul of your home. Years ago, author and
holistic feng shui expert Laura Benko was diagnosed with a rare
cancer. Around that time, a book serendipitously fell on her head.
She took this as a much-needed sign to devote the next decade of
her life to research and hundreds of transformative holistic design
consultations. Her clients’ real-life, inspiring stories, along
with specific actions and tips, have become the foundation for The
Holistic Home. In this updated, second edition of The
Holistic Home, Laura includes a brand-new chapter that addresses
the questions that have been most frequently asked in her
certification classes based on the book in which her students learn
to implement Feng Shui change.

'Human Geography' examines the major trends, debates, research and
conceptual evolution of human geography during the twentieth
century. Considering each of the subject's primary subfields in
turn, it addresses developments in both continental European and
Anglo-American geography, providing a cutting-edge evaluation of
each. Written clearly and accessibly by leading researchers, the
book combines historical astuteness with personal insights and
draws on a range of theoretical positions. A central theme of the
book is the relative decline of the traditional subdisciplines
towards the end of the twentieth century, and the continuing
movement towards interdisciplinarity in which the various strands
of human geography are seen as inextricably linked. This
stimulating and exciting new book provides a unique insight into
the study of geography during the twentieth century, and is
essential reading for anyone studying the history and philosophy of
the subject.

This book explores health and leisure as a holistic phenomenon with
individual and social dimensions. Contributors to this edited
volume explore the physical, mental, emotional, sexual and social
aspects of health and leisure as well as the influence of moral and
religious principles. The connections between the individual and
the social structure, social integration, the social division of
labor, and the natural environment are also analysed. The volume
studies this relationship from a range of disciplinary backgrounds,
including sociology, psychology, psychiatry, medical sciences,
sport sciences, education, policy making, and from both national
and international perspectives. As such, the collection will be of
interest to scholars and students across a range of disciplines,
including Leisure Studies, Health Studies, Health Promotion,
Psychology and Mental Health, Sociology and Sport Studies.

Georges Benko "Societies are much messier than our theories of
them" Michael Mann The Sources of Social Power 1 Towards a unified
social theory Why are there communication problems between the
different disciplines of the social sciences? And why should there
be so much misunderstanding? Most probably because the encounter of
several disciplines is in fact the encounter of several different
histories, and therefore of several different cultures, each
interpreting the other according to the code dictated by its own
culture. Inevitably geographers view other disciplines through
their own cultural filter, and even a benevolent view remains
'ethnocentric'. It was in order to avoid such ethnocentricity that
Femand Braudel called for more unity among the social sciences in
1958 : "l wish the social sciences . . . would stop discussing
their respective differences so much . . . and instead look for
common ground . . . on which to reach their first agreement.
Personally I would call these ways : quantification, spatial
awareness and 'longue duree'". In its place at the center of the
social sciences, geography reduces all social reality to its
spatial dimensions. Unfortunately, as a discipline, it considers
itself all too often to be in a world of its own. There is a need
in France for a figure like Vidal de la Blanche who could refocus
attention away from issues of time and space, towards space and
social reality. Geographic research will only take a step forward
once it learns to address the problems facing all the sciences.

More than ten years into the debate, the present collection of
original essays seeks to assess both the impact and current state
of the debate around postmodernism and the spatial social sciences.
It aims not in solving contradictions and differences within the
debate since such a claim would be both fruitless and immature;
rather it seeks to demonstrate the diversity of interpretations
that has come about by the mutual discovery of postmodern
discourses and human geography since the mid-1980's.
The last decade has been a decade of tremendous change across the
broad of the human and social sciences. Ancient certainties,
trusted ideologies and tested methods all came under immense
pressure once so-called 'postmodern' ideas and concepts gained
wider currency particularly among those with an interest in social
theory. No longer content with framing social reality according to
the logic of one core metaphor, the human and social sciences both
rediscovered the local particularity of truth where hitherto a
general explanation was deemed sufficient. In short: the
revitalizing and formative power of 'space' was acknowledged once
again.
More than ten years into the debate, the present collection of
original essays seeks to assess both the impact and current state
of the debate around postmodernism and the spatial social sciences.
It aims not at solving contradictions and differences within the
debate since such a claim would be both fruitless and immature;
rather, it seeks to demonstrate the diversity of interpretations
that has come about by the mutual discovery of postmodern
discourses and human geography since the mid 1980s. Celebrations of
postmodernity, the insistence of a continuation of modernity,
interpretations of globally-emerging postmodern spaces, even the
call for an analysis of hypermodernity thus coexist in the
collection at hand. In-between the essays, a new discursive agenda
for the spatial human sciences emerges: not to pave the way for a
new orthodoxy but simply to allow for the recognition of new ideas
taking root in today's academic environment.
This book is at once critical, provocative and accessible. It
will be widely welcomed by advanced students ofspatial and social
theory in geography and related disciplines.

The Good Place is a fantasy-comedy TV show about the afterlife.
Eleanor dies and finds herself in the Good Place, which she
understands must be mistake, since she has been anything but good.
In the surprise twist ending to Season One, it is revealed that
this is really the Bad Place, but the demon who planned it was
frustrated, because the characters didn't torture each other
mentally as planned, but managed to learn how to live together. In
The Good Place and Philosophy, twenty-one philosophers analyze
different aspects of the ethical and metaphysical issues raised in
the show, including: Indefinitely long punishment can only be
justified as a method of ultimately improving vicious characters,
not as retribution. Can individuals retain their identity after
hundreds of reboots? Comparing Hinduism with The Good Place, we can
conclude that Hinduism gets things five percent correct. Looking at
all the events in the show, it follows that humans don't have free
will, and so people are being punished and rewarded unjustly. Is it
a problem that the show depicts torture as hilarious? This problem
can be resolved by considering the limited perspective of humans,
compared with the eternal perspective of the demons. The Good Place
implies that even demons can develop morally. The only way to
explain how the characters remain the same people after death is to
suppose that their actual bodies are transported to the afterlife.
Since Chidi knows all the moral theories but can never decide what
to do, it must follow that there is something missing in all these
theories. The show depicts an afterlife which is bureaucratic,
therefore unchangeable, therefore deeply unjust. Eleanor acts on
instinct, without thinking, whereas Chidi tries to think everything
through and never gets around to acting; together these two
characters can truly act morally. The Good Place shows us that
authenticity means living for others. The Good Place is based on
Sartre's play No Exit, with its famous line "Hell is other people,"
but in fact both No Exit and The Good Place inform us that human
relationships can redeem us. In The Good Place, everything the
humans do is impermanent since it can be rebooted, so humans cannot
accomplish anything good. Kant's moral precepts are supposed to be
universal, but The Good Place shows us it can be right to lie to
demons. The show raises the question whether we can ever be good
except by being part of a virtuous community.
