Time for Dan McAdams.......2007-06-05
A dear friend and life long student of Psych, who is about to become a doctor of Psych gave me this book several years ago. She'd written so many notes in it, which to me translates into value and reverance for what one reads. I always meant to read it, life just kept getting in the way. Finally it was time for me to meet the mind of Dan McAdams, at least as it was when he wrote this book, I think perhaps, slightly before it's time, maybe. It helped me to foster insights that have been like donning good reading glasses in a life with some patches of fog.
It's always so refreshing to relearn something we already knew at a deep unconcious level and be able to resonate with that on a higher level. This is what this book does for me. I highly suggest it to those who are interested in writing (anything) or learning more about them selves and how we all effect each other as well. No man is an island we are simutaneosly land and water to each other. Thank you Dr. McAdams and Dr. Sunshine my friend for giving me this ray of light.
A Seminal Work.......2005-09-27
If you want to understand narrative psychology in a developmental framework here is where to start. It is not overly technical, which is actually a bit of a drawback for those of us who would like more background and theory. But, it is an excellent intruduction to the field, very readable, and many people cite McAdams in their subsequent reserach (which I certainly will be doing).
Book Description
Mary Midgley argues in her powerful new book that far from being the opposite of science, myth is a central part of it. In brilliant prose, she claims that myths are neither lies nor mere stories but a network of powerful symbols that suggest particular ways of interpreting the world.

Covers Much Ground, but Lacks Detailed Analysis!.......2004-01-26
Mary Midgley has written an important book that, in true Midgley fashioin, straddles the middle ground between deference to science and its efficacy, and a critical eye of some goings on in the scientific community.
This book is about 'mtyhs' and their importance in science. Unfortunately, 'myth' might not have been the best word to describe Midgley's enterprise. In this book, she is NOT, a.) saying that science is a myth (that it is not trute), b.) using 'myth' to mean 'fairy tale', or c.) going on a fashionable post-modern lit-crit 'exploration' exploring the history of mythology as it relates to science. YEEEECCHHH!
Mary Midgley is much too smart for that. Rather, 'the myths we live by' are those metaphysical concepts that bleed into science now and again, masquerading as part of testable science: concepts like the gene as selfish replicator, materialism that would reduce mind to matter, the AI view that humans are smart machines, etc. Not that these concepts can't be valueable at times, but concepts like these are philosophical assumptions, not not testable fact.
To give an example of Midgley's intent here, my favorite section is that on the bran/mind conundrum that scientists are itching to resolve by pretending the mind doesn't exist. Midgley (and this reviewer) both have confidence that the mind is caused by the brain and that dualism is not tenable. But here's the problem. "Explainling" the mind by neurons and synapses IGNORES the emprically obvious: I can see neurons in brains, but can't 'feel' them in my mind. The brain and mind 'feel' of different qualities, and any explanation of the former doesn't necessarilty 'explain' the latter.
Other theorists like Dennett, say that the first person is an 'illusion' put forth by our genes to aid survival. If so, then it is not an illusion anyone (including Dennett) can 'stand back from' long enough to check whether it IS ACTUALLY an illusion (as one pulls stick that looks bent out of the water to find a straight stick). Others like Blackmore posit memes - units of culture (whatever such units consist of) that infest our minds while we are just passive vessels, waiting for memes to duke it out and replicate. Midgley responds with the obvious: if we are asked to believe that, then isn't it WE who are asked to believe that, and doesn't that in turn create a dilemma? If we are asked to believe that we aren't willfully in control of our minds (but the memes are), then how is it that we could willfully believe that at all? All of this is attempts by scientists to push explanatory theories farther than they seem to be able to go. IF materialism works on a physical level, then we must force it to explain mind. Midgley's answer? The mind seems to resist phsysical explanation in that way. What explains one thing brilliantly, may be clumsey when applied to another.
That was just my favorite example; there are many more. The point she is trying to make is that while 'myhts' are essential to science (mtetaphysics can not truly be seperated from it), we must watch how we use it. In the tradition of William James, Midgley warns that the world is quite pluralistic in its qualities and we may just need a pluralistic approach to dealing with it. Grand unified theories? Don't be so sure. Universal acids? Probably not. Ultra-reductionism? No matter how much we can reduce, there will always be whole organisms that need explaining just as much.
The only complalints I have are these: first, as a long time Midgley fan, I feel that she is, in some ways, writing the same book over and over again. This tends to happen to philosophers that say really original or contreversial things, as thhey keep having to re-explain themselves. If you've not read Midgley before, or not much of her, I wouldn't worry about this. If you have, read it but you might end up skimming some sections.
The second complaint is simply that as this book is ony 170-some pages, and she covers so many areas (myths), she doesn't really go into any in as much detail as I wanted to see. Otherwise, no complaints.
Book Description
The mythology of ancient Greece has fascinated readers for two millennia and has formed the basis of Western civilization. The Greek gods are a perennial source of delight because they seem so much like us: in their rages, their love affairs, and their obsession with honor, the gods often appear all too human. In Greek Gods, Human Lives, preeminent classicist Mary Lefkowitz reintroduces readers to the literature of ancient Greece. Lefkowitz demonstrates that these stories, although endlessly entertaining, are never frivolous. The Greek myths-as told by Homer, Ovid, Virgil, and many others-offer crucial lessons about human experience. Greek mythology makes vivid the fact that the gods control every aspect of the lives of mortals, but not in ways that modern audiences have properly understood. We can learn much from these myths, Lefkowitz shows, if we understand that they are stories about religious experience-about the meaning of divinity, the nature of justice, and the limitations of human knowledge. These myths spoke to ancient audiences and helped them to comprehend their world. With Mary Lefkowitz as an interpreter, these myths speak to us as well.

A treasure cove of links.......2005-03-22
Shelly said, "We are all Greeks. Our laws, our literature, our religion, our arts, have Greece."
This text illustrates without pretension or obtuse stilted language these powerful sentiments. Loose ends, nunances, questions, and epiphanies are continually addressed in the readers mind. The notions and ideas presented to me over the last half century via formal education, religious indoctrination, and personal experiences take on a new clarity when reading this outstanding review of the Greek dieties and how they formed and influenced our cultural foundations.
This is a work that is not easily read but one that is beautifully construed to creat maximum stimulation of ones thought processes.
Simply a must for any personal libary that is concern with the evolution of personal believes, knowledge and understanding of the world around us.
Thank you Ms. Lefkowitz
God doesn't love you and it serves you right.......2004-01-09
So what does world-renowned classics Professor Mary Lefkowitz do when she is not criticizing Martin Bernal? Apparently working on this book on Greek Gods. To our secular and Christian eyes Greek divinities appear frivolous and spiteful. With their promiscuity and their vendettas they appear very human, except that they are immortal and they can kill people with lightning bolts. It has been hard for people to think that the Classical world could have taken them seriously. But in fact over the past few decades historians such as Paul Veyne, Robin Lane Fox and Ramsay MacMullen have argued that "Paganism" was taken very seriously by its adherents. It was not in intellectual decline or crisis when Constantine appeared on the scene, while what we might consider secular or rational thought was only that of a marginal unimportant minority. So far, so good. Lefkowitz seeks to argue that the Greek Gods are not frivolous and are not petty. In much Classical literature they may appear to be slow to recognize the suffering of humanity. But this is illusory. The Gods are not divinised humans, they are clearly superior beings in every respect. The ages and eras of humans are but moments to them, they cannot be expected to have our sense of time. More importantly, the world was not created for humans, who are but minor players on the earthly stage. There is such a thing as divine justice, but it is narcissistic and sentimental to assume that it revolves around right treatment of humans. By their own, inevitably superior, standards the Gods act with justice. Lefkowitz is rather attracted to this ideal, since the absence of what we might consider justice is a realistic way of viewing how the world works. Homer and others provide a grimly truthful theodicy, whereas later ideas from Plato, the Stoics or Ovid unduly and sentimentally subordinate God to man.
Over and over again Lefkowitz tells how in Classical Literature the manipulations of the Gods are the key to the events that happen. Lefkowitz asserts that when correctly viewed all the acts that happen show the seriousness of the Pantheon. It is just and proper that the Trojans are punished, their city destroyed, their population slaughtered and their women raped and sold into slavery because they are all collectively guilty of the abduction of Helen. But it is also just that the Gods extend the Trojan war and inevitably kill many of the Greeks attacking the city so that the Gods can fulfill a promise to Achilles' mother so that Achilles can Achilles can be covered in glory (before meeting his own inevitable death). And it is also just that the Greeks are punished for not rebuking one of their own for raping Cassandra in a temple dedicated to Athena. Such violations of ritual purity are more important than the offence done to Cassandra, who is later murdered without any of the Gods stepping in to intercede. It is proper that the seven sons and the seven daughters of Niobe are killed because Niobe insults the honor of the mother of Artemis and Apollo. It is likewise also proper that Aphrodite drives Phaedra mad with lust for her stepson because he insulted Aphrodite when swearing himself to eternal celibacy. It is proper that Oedipus and Antigone and Agamemnon meet the fates that they do because they have been cursed by the Gods.
What is wrong with this account? Part of the problem is that much of the book consists of summaries of Classical literature. Lefkowitz clearly belongs to the late Allan Bloom school of shallow, tendentious and interminable paraphrase as we read her accounts of Hesiod, the Illiad, The Odyssey, the Aenied, The Orestian Trilogy, the Oedipean trilogy, the story of Jason and the Argonausts and the Golden Ass. Oddly however, we do not examine Prometheus Bound, nor do we really get an idea of why writers changed myths until after the great age of Classical literature. This refusal to consider change makes Classical literature less ambiguous than it actually is. There is also a certain tendentiousness. Lefkowitz dismisses the God/Human matings as marginal and ultimately inconsequential to the divine life. But sex implies an equality between Gods and mortals; otherwise bestiality would be far more common than it is. And Lefkowitz does not really explain why Cupid asked for, and obtained, immortality for Psyche. But the larger problem is with Lefkowitz's concept of justice. By what criterion of justice can the population of Troy be punished while Aphrodite and Eris get off scot free? It was Eris who started the war by throwing the Apple of Discord and Aphrodite who promised Paris what was not hers to give. To argue that because Aphrodite is divine her actions are not frivolous does not convince. What Lefkowitz asserts is not a proper submission to reality, but an undignified abasement to arbitrary power. Far from being realistic it abjures reason and encourages contempt and callous indifference towards a humanity that is treated that way. It is not a coincidence that it was with the rise of Greek democracy that the dramatic view of divine power became more ambiguous, because it was in this period that the population outside a small elite was able to assert some form of dignity. In claiming otherwise, there is something disingenuous about Lefkowitz's comfortable pseudo-stoicism, and her view of tragedy which behind its veneer of toughness resembles academically sanctioned sadism. As Terry Eagleton has written: "By no means all Greek protagonists concede that their suffering is justified, accept their guilt or confess that the calamity follows from their own behaviour. And they are mostly quite right not to do so. It is the theorists of tragedy, not the victims of it, who imagine that they do, or at least that they should."
Book Description
"What do we really know about the life of Jesus Christ and the decisive role of Paul? Author Andrew C. Delos—a professor emeritus who has used a penname so the work will stand on its own merits—has delved deep into the Bible and uncovered long-ignored facts which call into question many of the longest held doctrines and cherished traditions of Christianity. Was Jesus dead when he was taken from the cross? Did St. Peter ever really go to Rome? And was Jesus truly born in Bethlehem or was his place of birth somewhere else entirely? Those are just some of the provocative questions that Delos explores in this intriguing and thought-provoking work.
Fluent in Greek, Delos combed original texts, comparing them to the King James Version of the Holy Bible, and factored in recent discoveries and commentaries. What emerges is a work of rare insight and intellect as Delos slowly uncovers the real story of the lives and times of Jesus and Paul, every facet presented in fascinating detail. Provocative and profound, Myths We Live By asks us to question everything we think we may know—and then provides us with a truer and more illuminating story instead. The true Christian message of peace and love remains the same (and it’s clear that Delos has no desire to discredit them) but his brilliant historical examination and re-evaluation of the facts brings forth a richer, and truer, portrait of both Jesus and Paul, one that both biblical scholars and discerning readers should appreciate." - Ellen Tanner Marsh, New York Times best-selling author

Christianity - the real story.......2007-07-20
This book by Andrew Delos (not his real name) is the best history of early Christianity that I have ever read - and I have been researching this topic for years. I've read the Bible and I've read many books and listened to audio courses on how Christianity developed. But I have never read anything so comprehensive and believable as this analysis. Delos references biblical text, the Dead Sea scrolls and other historical documents and archeological findings and stitches them together to tell the story of the historical Jesus and the development of the church. While not everyone is interested in this topic, and many let their religion get in the way of their curiosity, I highly recommend this book to anyone with an open mind about how one of the major world religions really evolved into its present form.
Shoddy Research.......2007-05-31
This book is not a scholarly work. On the contrary, the book is poorly researched, highly derivative, and inadequately referenced. Delos makes highly controversial claims (Jesus was a Pharisee, Luke's was the first Gospel written, Jesus was only pricked by the spear, the Sanhedrin had the power to inflict capital punishment, etc., etc.) without even so much as an attempt to substantiate his claims. A true scholar making such claims would support them with argument and references. Delos doesn't even support them with a footnote. The work of a scholar should show scholarly work. This book does not. A Few examples:
1. Professors are scrupulously careful about their grammar and punctuation-this book is shot through with typographical errors. E.g., spaces between quotation marks and the text they enclose; leading quotes at the end of text.
2. Professors are meticulous with their endnoting and citation style-this book has no citation style and the endnoting is horrific. E.g., spaces between endnote numbers and text; endnote numbers at the beginning of lines of text; endnotes to noncontroversial statements; no endnotes to controversial statements.
3. Indexing of scholarly works is important if you're going to track down references. The index is woefully inadequate, as can be shown from one example: Remember my mentioning Delos' controversial assertions about the priority of Luke? He placed a stumbling block in the way of verification of those assertions by omitting any reference to Luke from his index.
I could go on, but I'll stop here. Open the book to almost any random page and you'll find an error similar to one of those described above. The most pervasive errors, which permeate the entire work, are the face-value acceptance of data which fits the author's preconceptions and the offhand rejection, without justification, of data which doesn't.
Highly intelligent refutations of the conventional Christian view of Jesus' career have been written, but this is not one of them. One highly intelligent refutation of the conventional Christian view of Jesus' career is Did Jesus Exist? by George A. Wells. A highly intelligent defense of the conventional Christian view of Jesus' career is Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony by Richard Baukham. Either of these books is a much better investment than "Myths We Live By."
NOT UNIQUE IN ITS FINDINGS, AND CORRECT IN ITS CONCLUSION WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THE MESSAGE OF PEACE AND NONVIOLENCE AND JUSTICE .......2006-10-25
Readers may wonder at the author's anonimity, as several other well known studies in biblical theology reach the same and similar conclusions, confirming this author's findings, including studies published by Catholic and other orthodox clergy.
But the author stating it is the message of peace, equality and justice which is the heart of the Gospel of Jesus, and of Paul, which have eternal verity, cuts right to what the whole thing is all about. For further reflection upon this essential point, please read anything by the Rev. Father Johnm Dear, SJ, especially his Jesus the Rebel and Disarming the Heart, both available here in the mighty amazon
First read the book and then..........2006-10-19
I read the three most recent reviews about the Delos book. All three "reviewers" seem determined to convince us that the book is worthles--without giving any reasons to support their judgement. They probably never bought or read the book. "Quantum" invokes St.Paul who condemns "false apostles, deceitful workers" who like "Satan disguise themselves as angels of light." Apparently "Quantum" wants to tell us that Delos is one of them! "James" finds the book "intriguing but erroneous." Not one word as to how or why it is "erroneous." G.Glenn" speaks of "sloopy (sic) scholarship" and goes one step further saying that "actually there isn't any scolarship to be seen." What about the 640 endnotes, most of them from the books of the New Testamentand other sources. What about the copious notes at the end of each Chapter? Apparently Mr. Gless never saw them.
I think I know what's happening here. These "reviewers" want to kil the book, pure and simple. Unlike other recent books like the Da Vinci Code or the Judas Gospel which deal with apocryphal text of questionable validity or origin, the Delos book is grounded on the canonical texts of the Bible. The Church leaders could ignore the other books but the Delos book is different. It is factual, it is documented by chapter and verse. It does not deal with wild theories. And it brings out already existed in the Scriptures but was ignored by the theologians. Such evidence is hard to refure or ignore. Easier to dismiss it with a couple of choice words!
I read the book. Yes, it raises questions about important Christian beliefs and gives a different, new picture of the origins of Christianity and the primary role of St. Paul. But I agree with Delos that Christianity is not the rituals and the supernatural happenings. It is the moral message. I believe the Delos book will prove to be one of the really important books of our time. But to write an honest review one has to READ it first.
Absolute Waist of Time.......2006-10-17
Who ever Andrew C. Delos actually is, he/she has nothing to say. This is without a doubt the most poignant example of sloopy scholarship. Actually there isn't any scholarship to be seen.
Book Description
For more than two years, the New York Timess science and health columnist Anahad OConnor has tracked down the facts, fictions, and occasional fuzziness of old wives tales, conventional-wisdom cures, and other medical mysteries. Now in this lively and fun book, he opens up his case files to disclose the experts answers on everything, from which of your bad habits you can indulge (yo-yo dieting does not mess up your metabolism and sitting too close to the television does not hurt your eyes) to what foods actually pack the punch advertised (you can lay off the beet juice!). A compendium of answers to the curious and nagging questions of how to keep healthy, Never Shower in a Thunderstorm will provide guidance and amusement to anyone who has ever wondered if the mosquitoes really are attacking her more than everyone else. (Yes, they are.)
Customer Reviews:
Lacks Sources.......2007-08-06
About: Facts and myths about health explained. Includes such topics as "Is too much sleep bad for you?" (yes) and "Can you swim right after eating?" (also, yes)
Pros: Quick read, interesting.
Cons: Sources are not cited, a large downside when debunking myths or providing facts.
Grade: B
Fun stuff you can share with friends and family.......2007-07-18
"Wait half and hour after eating before swimming."
"Cover your head in the winter so you don't catch a cold."
"Cracking your knuckles will give you arthritis."
We've all heard the old wives tales, but which ones are really true? Based on his New York Times column, "Really?," Anahad O'Connor sets out to tell us just that.
In an easy-to-read question and answer format, Never Shower in a Thunderstorm analyzes dozens of commonly held beliefs about health. Some are verified and some are debunked, though which is which may really surprise you. Fully supported by current research and interviews with field experts, O'Connor takes a neutral middle ground, being neither too liberal and "new age-y" nor conservative and cynical in his assessments. His conversational writing style is clever and engaging, as if talking with a witty friend over a coffee or beer. References to current pop culture keep the tone light and entertaining. Several of his answers actually caused me to laugh out loud and read sections to friends.
My only wish would be to have included a bibliography or footnotes for those interested a bit more in the science behind the answers. So many of the research articles O'Connor refers to sounded interesting enough to have warranted reading them firsthand.
Overall, Never Shower in a Thunderstorm is a thoroughly enjoyable and informative read for all folks, not just those with a scientific bent.
Armchair Interviews says: True or false? This book will tell you.
Great Fun and Most Informative.......2007-06-05
This book was great fun to read. Many myths, legends, sayings, old wives' tales, etc., all related in some way to health and life, are either debunked or confirmed - and rationales are provided. The author appears to have researched each topic quite exhaustively - not only through reviewing published papers in the scientific and medical literature but also through interviewing acknowledged experts in each field. The book's writing style is friendly, authoritative and very engaging. But what stands out the most is the author's clever wit and humor; on several occasions I found myself laughing out loud. This is a wonderful book that could be enjoyed by anyone, especially those who have ever pondered the veracity of what may or may not be a bit of misinformation.
Great Answers Plus Fun and Easy to Read.......2007-05-19
This book by New York Times columnist Anahad O'Connor made me think of two things that were twin fantasies for a long time. First is the old Hercules cartoon from my youth (think 1970's). Remember when Herc would be attacked by some huge monster and it would be smacking him and his little micro-mini toga all over Olympia? Of course it would throw him into the same rock wall as every other episode and Herc would suddenly remember that he had a ring in his belt that makes him invincible, right? (side note: why did he ever take the ring off?) So the monster charges Herc, screaming its horrible hiss, and Herc seems to pause time while he puts on the jewelery - lightening flashing and crashing - then it's game on, mofo, and Herc kicks the creature a new scream-hole.
It's the time-pausing aspect I'm interested in here. Imagine pausing time in a conversation.
Couple that with the newish TV commercial for the cellular phone company that has the subscriber constantly surrounded by his or her "network". Hundreds of people who follow you around at all times; imagine that concept only with hundreds of experts in various fields of science, literature and culture at your beck and call to check your facts and offer up opinions that are based on more than what the weirdos at the bait shop think.
That's what O'Connor's book is. It's like getting up in the morning and all through the day you get asked about urban legends and old wives' tales and silly pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo. You though, today, have the ability to Herc-pause time so you can check with your network of experts. You can check your references, cite your sources, and generally have the "smugness of certainty" (as far as science can be certain). It's like Mythbusters, only without the explosions, beret, or unruly moustache.
O'Connor has compiled 221 pages of his NYT Really? column and come up with a nice little book in the same vein as Robert Wolke's What Einstein Told His Barber and Jay Ingram's The Velocity of Honey. It has an easy conversational style that makes you feel like you're having a few beers with David Suzuki or some other notable know-it-all. There are many studies cited and although there are no notes or references, you could certainly check for yourself if the need arose.
Do yourself a favor and pick up Never Shower in a Thunderstorm. It'll make you less likely to get a girlfriend, what with you spitting out random facts like some Tourette's Savant, but you'll know to buy a manual toothbrush with a clear head. And isn't that better in the long run? ...Don't answer that.
Fun book written by genius.......2007-05-18
I've actually known Anahad personally since he was 16 and a student in my American Lit class, and I can tell you this: (1) I just got my copy and the book is great fun; (2) you can trust the book to be 100% accurate; (3) Anahad's a great guy.
Yeah, a bibliography would be nice, but I'll tell you, this is a writer you can actually trust. Fun, interesting, and accurate--what more do you want?
