Tales of a Catskill Mountain Plumber is a humorous telling of the great times the baby boomer generation had growing up in "The Country". This was the period of Jewish exodus from city heat to country cool-air. Ruby the Knish Man, the Hippie Rabbi, Louie Slamowitz, and Benny and the Schleps are some of the interesting characters you'll meet in the book. Included are stories about Jewish Lightning, a rare Catskill phenomenon, Mendel's Mansion, and of course the Woodstock Festival. My family worked hard in many bungalow colonies getting the water moving again after the long cold winters. One thing we always made a point of was to laugh at it all which helped us get through those exhausting times. You'll read about this in tales such as "One Strange Collection" and "Come Closer, Closer Still". At night, I donned my rock and roll persona and performed with my band in some of the major hotels like The Pines, Kutchers, The Concord, and colonies such as Clearview Country Club and Fiakloffs. The band's adventures led us to psychedelic displays, and for some the discovery of chopped liver. The book contains a plumbers instruction manual that will guide you through the glory days of the Borscht belt, but in no way will it help you to become a plumber. Also included is an easy to read schematic that translates the Yiddish words helping you to get the full essence of the stories. Throughout the book are some special tips that I'll be sharing with you. Consider these an extra bonus that will make your life just a little easier. You'll wish you had these years ago. "How We Got Here" speaks of my family's coming to the Land of Milk and Honey, and "A New Beginning" spells out the future of the Catskills. If you're a health nut, don't worry. Everything was written without artificial sweeteners, but to give it some extra flavor I added a little "gribines". (Use the schematic, remember)? The book did take about 13 years to complete, but just like a good "chulent" that cooks and cooks, getting better with time, so did the book. It's finally time to eat, so wash your hands and come to the table. Remember, you don't have to eat it all at once, but make sure if you do that the plumbing works! Enjoy "kinderla" enjoy!

The mental well-being of children and adults is shockingly poor. Marc Brackett, author of Permission to Feel, knows why. And he knows what we can do. "We have a crisis on our hands, and its victims are our children." Marc Brackett is a professor in Yale University’s Child Study Center and founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. In his 25 years as an emotion scientist, he has developed a remarkably effective plan to improve the lives of children and adults – a blueprint for understanding our emotions and using them wisely so that they help, rather than hinder, our success and well-being. The core of his approach is a legacy from his childhood, from an astute uncle who gave him permission to feel. He was the first adult who managed to see Marc, listen to him, and recognize the suffering, bullying, and abuse he’d endured. And that was the beginning of Marc’s awareness that what he was going through was temporary. He wasn’t alone, he wasn’t stuck on a timeline, and he wasn’t “wrong” to feel scared, isolated, and angry. Now, best of all, he could do something about it. In the decades since, Marc has led large research teams and raised tens of millions of dollars to investigate the roots of emotional well-being. His prescription for healthy children (and their parents, teachers, and schools) is a system called RULER, a high-impact and fast-effect approach to understanding and mastering emotions that has already transformed the thousands of schools that have adopted it. RULER has been proven to reduce stress and burnout, improve school climate, and enhance academic achievement. This book is the culmination of Marc’s development of RULER and his way to share the strategies and skills with readers around the world. It is tested, and it works. This book combines rigor, science, passion and inspiration in equal parts. Too many children and adults are suffering; they are ashamed of their feelings and emotionally unskilled, but they don’t have to be. Marc Brackett’s life mission is to reverse this course, and this book can show you how.

A “heroic” biography of John Cage and his “awakening through Zen Buddhism”—“a kind of love story” about a brilliant American pioneer of the creative arts who transformed himself and his culture (The New York Times) Composer John Cage sought the silence of a mind at peace with itself—and found it in Zen Buddhism, a spiritual path that changed both his music and his view of the universe. “Remarkably researched, exquisitely written,” Where the Heart Beats weaves together “a great many threads of cultural history” (Maria Popova, Brain Pickings) to illuminate Cage’s struggle to accept himself and his relationship with choreographer Merce Cunningham. Freed to be his own man, Cage originated exciting experiments that set him at the epicenter of a new avant-garde forming in the 1950s. Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Yoko Ono, Allan Kaprow, Morton Feldman, and Leo Castelli were among those influenced by his ‘teaching’ and ‘preaching.’ Where the Heart Beats shows the blossoming of Zen in the very heart of American culture.
