Depression, Demenz und Burn-out-Syndrom bestimmen das Krankheitsbild unserer Zeit. Ein Reiseführer zu unserer Psyche. Was tut uns Menschen psychisch gut, vom Baby- bis zum Greisenalter? In einer Zeit, in der seelische Erkrankungen und auch Verirrungen zunehmen, in der sich das Bild unserer Gesellschaft rasant verändert, in der die Menschen immer gestresster und überforderter sind. Philosophen beschrieben dieses Phänomen noch vor wenigen Jahren mit dem Titel „Die Müdigkeits-Gesellschaft". Zunehmend scheint sich diese Müdigkeit in Ängsten und Ratlosigkeit zu verdichten. Die Autoren nehmen den Leser mit auf eine Expedition in die wundersame Welt der Psyche. Sie beantworten Fragen, die jedem von uns schon einmal begegnet sind, wenn sich die Seele in einem Ausnahmezustand befindet, und stellen neue Fragen an eine immer verrücktere Welt.

Über die Psyche in einer verrückten Welt

Das weite Land der Seele

• An anthology of writings by some of the most influential women in history on the often misunderstood and misrepresented female drug experience. • With great honesty, bravery, and frankness, women from diverse backgrounds write about their drug experiences. Women have been experimenting with drugs since prehistoric times, and yet published accounts of their views on the drug experience have been relegated to either antiseptic sociological studies or sensationalized stories splashed across the tabloids. The media has given us an enduring, but inaccurate, stereotype of a female drug user: passive, addicted, exploited, degraded, promiscuous. But the selections in this anthology--penned by such famous names as Billie Holiday, Anais Nin, Maya Angelou, and Carrie Fisher--show us that the real experiences of women are anything but stereotypical. Sisters of the Extreme provides us with writings by women from diverse occupations and backgrounds, from prostitute to physician, who through their use of drugs dared cross the boundaries set by society--often doing so with the hope of expanding themselves and their vision of the world. Whether with LSD, peyote, cocaine, heroine, MDMA, or marijuana, these women have sought to reach, through their experimentation, other levels of consciousness. Sometimes their quests have brought unexpected rewards, other times great suffering and misfortune. But wherever their trips have left them, these women have lived courageously--if sometimes dangerously--and written about their journeys eloquently.
