If you’re hoping Tár wins

 

For those who loved the intensity of Tár and its dive into the art world, pick up They’re Going to Love You, which the New York Times says has a “finger-trap puzzle of a plot, [where] the pull of the past meets the pressures of the present.” Written by a former ballet dancer, this novel follows a 43-year-old choreographer as she looks back on her past as a ballet dancer, and must consider her family in both her past and her future.

Not looking very good

  Between the most aggressive rate hike campaign in history and an easing pace of inflation, it looks the Fed Funds rate is finally in neutral territory.     Like Goldilocks’ porridge, when you subtract inflation of 4.96% (the latest year-over-year increase for the PCE deflator – the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge) from the Fed Funds rate, the Federal Open Market Committee seems to have landed at not too hot and not too cold. And while the Fed takes a wait-and-see approach, the question becomes how soon before fighting recession becomes the priority. Job Openings have tumbled…     The housing continues to contract with construction down…     Fewer new homes being constructed…     And plans for new homes on the decline…     Bank sector credit tightening is also taking a bite.  Consumer credit has turned lower…     And industrial loans have turned lower, as well…     For the better part of 2 years, retail sal...

  No Bad Parts Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model Richard C. Schwartz Have you ever felt like a part of you is telling you one thing, while another part is saying the opposite? According to psychiatrist Richard Schwartz, these conflicting internal voices are not only normal, but key to better understanding who we are. Schwartz is the creator of Internal Family Systems (IFS)—a therapeutic practice grounded in the idea that each of us is made up of a complex network of different "parts," each with different needs, emotions, and desires. In  No Bad Parts , Schwartz provides a broad overview of IFS, outlining the theory behind its basic principles and how it can help people to live a more fulfilling life. In this guide, we’ll supplement Schwartz’s explanation with the work of other IFS therapists while also highlighting criticisms of the model. We’ll put Schwartz’s work in historical context, showing how his ideas build on fundamental pr...

  Salt A World History Mark Kurlansky Salt is one of the cheapest, most commonplace items: It sells for less than a loaf of bread, and during winter, we scatter it liberally on roads and sidewalks. However, there was once a time when salt was considered rare and valuable. In  Salt , Mark Kurlansky argues that  throughout much of human history, salt was a precious commodity—one that significantly shaped civilizations. In this guide, we’ll present Kurlansky’s history of salt, describing the role it played in nourishing our ancestors, driving innovation, building empires—and even provoking rebellions. You’ll learn why salting food isn’t just about improving its flavor, why salt harvesting causes sinkholes, and how salt played an important role in several independence movements. Throughout this guide, we’ll supplement Kurlansky’s history of salt with relevant concepts in chemistry, food science, and geology. We’ll also update the book’s ideas with recent research on how we ha...
