In this evocative novel, Solomon Deheftner achieves fame as a stage
magician and escapologist in the tradition of the Great Houdini.
But he abandons that career to search for something far more
elusive: the profound magic inherent in mystical transcendence.
Using his knowledge of conjuring and his Jewish upbringing as a
foundation, Deheftner makes his way from New York to San Francisco,
probing the secrets of Yoga, meditation, vegetarianism, animal
intelligence, bondage, and sadomasochism in his quest for spiritual
enlightenment.
Through personal anecdotes and relatable stories of real traders,
Goldstein explores the inner world of trading and reveals how our
attitudes and misconceptions can prevent us from achieving our full
potential. Goldstein introduces his powerful model, the Performance
Process Cycle, which teaches traders how to overcome their emotions
and biases, improve self-awareness, and make sense of how they are
impacted by their interactions with markets and uncertainty. By
applying this model, traders can develop an unparalleled level of
calm and objectivity, enabling them to navigate the treacherous
terrain of financial markets with ease. With Goldstein’s
guidance, traders will be inspired to reflect on their own
behaviours, beliefs, and actions as they work towards mastering the
mental game of trading.
China has undergone dramatic change in its economic institutions in
recent years, but surprisingly little change politically. Somehow,
the political institutions seem capable of governing a vastly more
complex market economy and a rapidly changing labor force. One
possible explanation, examined in Zouping Revisited, is that within
the old organizational molds there have been subtle but profound
changes to the ways these governing bodies actually work. The
authors take as a case study the local government of Zouping County
and find that it has been able to evolve significantly through ad
hoc bureaucratic adaptations and accommodations that drastically
change the operation of government institutions. Zouping has long
served as a window into local-level Chinese politics, economy, and
culture. In this volume, top scholars analyze the most important
changes in the county over the last two decades. The picture that
emerges is one of institutional agility and creativity as a new
form of resilience within an authoritarian regime.
A novel about a family even more dysfunctional than the one you
grew up in. Will's Surreal Period is a richly satisfying tale-at
times laugh-out-loud hilarious and at times deeply moving-that
features a rollickingly dysfunctional family, a seemingly endless
array of succulent foodstuffs, and a brain tumor that transforms a
mediocre painter into a virtuoso. Now toss in a smidgen of BDSM and
a few beguiling tidbits exploring brain chemistry and human
evolution, and you have a story that will hook you fast and
captivate you till the end. "Will's Surreal Period proves why works
of fiction are high art. . . . Robert Steven Goldstein deftly
converts our raw human foibles into emotive entertainment and, as
he does, reminds us, sometimes painfully, sometimes hilariously,
who we are." -MICHAEL J. COFFINO, award-winning author of Truth Is
in the House
