Roar of the Lambs
If you knew the world was ending, who would you save? And would they let you? Sixteen-year-old Winnie Bray is a liar. As the resident psychic at an oddities shop, Winnie truly can see the future. But her customers only want reassurance, and Winnie only wants their money. Favorable fortunes are a fast track to funding her way out of Buffalo, New York for good, after all. But all of that changes when a vision sends her stalking in the remains of her family home that burned down in a fire 10 years ago.

Lyckan Kommer - Klostervisdom För Ett Rikare Liv
I inledningen av BBC:s tv-serie Klostret gjorde jag en enkel iakttagelse som upprepades i början av varje avsnitt: Det händer allt oftare att människor säger till oss att livet är alltför individualistiskt, att deras liv handlar alltför mycket om saker, att konsumismen dominerar överallt, att de ytligt sett har allt fler nöjen i livet och ändå, på ett djupare plan, inte är lyckliga. Gång på gång hände det att människor som kom på retreat till klostret efter att ha sett tv-serien hänvisade till denna enda mening. Det var mig du talade om , sa de. Lyckan kommer eller gör den? Hur då? Christopher Jamison, som har arbetat med andlig vägledning i många år och som blev känd över stora delar av världen när han och hans bröder i Worth lät BBC vara med på en 40-dagarsretreat för fem vanliga brittiska män, går till botten med vår längtan efter lycka. Varifrån kommer den? Vart leder våra ansträngningar oss? Vad är egentligen sann lycka? Vad menar Jesus när han säger att de renhjärtade är saliga? Precis som i den uppskattade Rummet inom dig använder han den kunskap och visdom som samlats i hans egen klostertradition, benediktinorden, för att berätta lyckans historia och tillsammans med sin läsare hitta vägen till ett rikare liv. Christopher Jamison är abbot på Worth, ett benediktinkloster i England. Han har i många år arbetat med kommunitetens retreater och också varit rektor för den skola som bröderna driver. Lyckan kommer är hans andra bok på svenska. Recension från tidningen Dagen: "Vad är högmod? Det kan tyckas vara en enkel fråga, som vi alla kan svara på. Det är den som skryter, skulle man kunna säga. Eller också borrar man lite djupare. I Christopher Jamisons lysande bok om klostervisdom och vardagsklokhet, börjar han avsnittet om högmod med att titta på att ha mycket att göra . I vår kultur anses detta fint. Men att ha fullt upp med att vara viktig kan vara ett utslag av ett förslaget högmod, där man vill inpränta hur viktig man är (och hur oviktiga andra är). Vi håller helt enkelt på att skapa en upptagenhetskultur, där vi snart nog är fångar i både vårt eget högmod och i en konsumtionskultur, som tvingar in oss i upptagenheten. Så här går det ofta till när Christopher Jamison skärskådar vår kultur, och den mänskliga svagheten, som gör oss både fjärmade från andra och från Gud. Författaren utgår från gamla klosterregler, men sätter in dem i nya sammanhang och utvinner härmed ett lyckorecept som är långt från andra handböckers bli glad -budskap. Han granskar här bland annat likgiltighet, frosseri, vällust, girighet, vrede, svårmod, fåfänga, högmod och hjärtats renhet. Det är enkelt men klart formulerat, det är fyllt av klokhet och värme. En av årets bästa böcker. Läs!" Inger Alestig, Dagen

Robert Lowell, Setting the River on Fire
A Pulitzer Prize Finalist In this magisterial study of the relationship between illness and art, the best-selling author of An Unquiet Mind brings a fresh perspective to the life and work of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Robert Lowell. In his poetry, Lowell put his manic-depressive illness (now known as bipolar disorder) into the public domain, and in the process created a new and arresting language for madness. Here Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison brings her expertise in mood disorders to bear on Lowell's story, illuminating not only the relationships between mania, depression, and creativity but also how Lowell's illness and treatment influenced his work (and often became its subject). A bold, sympathetic account of a poet who was--both despite and because of mental illness--a passionate, original observer of the human condition.

An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A deeply powerful memoir about bipolar illness that has both transformed and saved lives--with a new preface by the author. Dr. Jamison is one of the foremost authorities on manic-depressive (bipolar) illness; she has also experienced it firsthand. For even while she was pursuing her career in academic medicine, Jamison found herself succumbing to the same exhilarating highs and catastrophic depressions that afflicted many of her patients, as her disorder launched her into ruinous spending sprees, episodes of violence, and an attempted suicide. Here Jamison examines bipolar illness from the dual perspectives of the healer and the healed, revealing both its terrors and the cruel allure that at times prompted her to resist taking medication.
Fires in the Dark
The acclaimed author of An Unquiet Mind considers the age-old quest for relief from psychological pain and the role of the exceptional healer in the journey back to health. 'To treat, even to cure, is not always to heal.' In this expansive cultural history of the treatment and healing of mental suffering, Kay Jamison writes about psychotherapy, what makes a great healer, and the role of imagination and memory in regenerating the mind. From the trauma of the battlefields of the twentieth century, to those who are grieving, depressed, or with otherwise unquiet minds, to her own experience with bipolar illness, Jamison demonstrates how remarkable psychotherapy and other treatments can be when done well. She argues that not only patients but doctors must be healed. She draws on the example of W.H.R. Rivers, the renowned psychiatrist who treated poet Siegfried Sassoon and other World War I soldiers, and discusses the long history of physical treatments for mental illness, as well as the
Night Falls Fast
Critical reading for parents, educators, and anyone wanting to understand the tragic epidemic of suicide--'a powerful book that] will change people's lives--and, doubtless, save a few' (Newsday). The first major book in a quarter century on suicide--and its terrible pull on the young in particular--Night Falls Fast is tragically timely: suicide has become one of the most common killers of Americans between the ages of fifteen and forty-five. From the author of the best-selling memoir, An Unquiet Mind--and an internationally acknowledged authority on depression--Dr. Jamison has also known suicide firsthand: after years of struggling with manic-depression, she tried at age twenty-eight to kill herself. Weaving together a historical and scientific exploration of the subject with personal essays on individual suicides, she brings not only her remarkable compassion and literary skill but also all of her knowledge and research to bear on this devastating problem. This is a book that helps
