![]() The narration can be filled with any other story, perhaps that of a person running a marathon encountering wit at every mile - no one would know the difference. The more you think about it, the more you realize that it’s just a narration auxiliary to the wit. The book is a love story - an extramarital affair for nobody. Kudos to the author for trying to build a three legged stool made of wit, love and philosophy, except that other than wit, the other two legs didn’t find their footing. ![]() If it were not for the wit, the book would be in its grave (like the narrator!) rather than still standing on one leg - yes just one leg, barely able to hold its own weight. What’s better than something interesting and obscure - interesting for the sake of reading it and obscure to later boast about it, to portray oneself as a connoisseur? Is that what the The New Yorker review was doing? There is no doubt that this book is witty. ![]() I would not know about this book if it had not been featured in a recent The New Yorker article titled ‘Rediscovering one of the wittiest book ever written.’ A title like this is a perfect teaser for any reader. ![]()

![]() ![]() Within this growing attention to ‘all things resilient’ is a cover story in the JTime magazine: How to Survive a Disaster. ![]() Thus it is here that the WR model easily embraces and incorporates other models of resilience arising out of the positive psychology and healthy communities and sustainability… movements. It is in this particular process or gravitational field of energy that the WR mapping coalesces to prescriptive thinking as well as ecological and mythic modeling. This approach is informed by the indigenous observation and inherent assumption (see WR Assertions) that “ Life Wants to Happen!”Įmbedded within this observation is the idea that there is also an inherent impulse within Life for wellness, hardiness and wholeness hence, the WR Keystone Process: The River of Life – Wellness, Hardiness and Wholeness. The Wild Resiliency® model is first an attempt to identify certain keystone processes of Life itself, and secondly an attempt to apply these processes to the field of resilience thinking. ![]() ![]() ![]() He has sworn to find and wed his mystery miss, but this breathtaking maid makes him weak with wanting her.
