Terri Thal was very much a part of the folk music world in 1960s Greenwich Village, New York. Few people know that she was 21-year-old Bob Dylans first manager prior to his contract with Albert Grossman and Columbia Records. She also managed musician Dave Van Ronk (who was her husband), and others to include the Roche sisters, Paul Geremia and The Holy Modal Rounders. She booked performances at coffee houses, clubs and basket houses. On 6 September 1961, she recorded a set from a young Bob at The Gaslight Cafe it is the first known live recording of his original songs - known to Dylan fans as the First Gaslight Tape! Terri took this audition tape to clubs to try to get him gigs and she still owns the original reel-to-reel tape! She had many friends in Greenwich Village including Suze Rotolo and a number of seminal 1960s folk musicians.When Dave Van Ronk first saw young Bob performing in a club in Greenwich Village he said I just heard this kid whos a fucking genius. Youve got to hear him. Within a few days I heard him play and agreed with Dave. Bob Dylan asked me, Would you get me gigs?Terri Thal has two passions: folk music and social justice. This is a personal story of the world of folk music in 1960s New York written by a Jewish woman from Brooklyn who, although not a musician, was an intrinsic part of this scene. Terri describes Greenwich Village as a community that was supportive, musically exciting and one in which people had fun.Terri tells us what it was like to hang out in the Village coffee houses, to host folk singers like Tom Paxton and Phil Ochs who hung out at her apartment, and to be a manager. We hear her view and involvement of the 1960s socialist organizations, and how she later merged her professional work in not- for-profit agencies.

Bestselling author and psychologist Tony Bates has spent his whole career examining and seeking to understand the lives of others. Here, he turns his therapeutic eye on himself and describes the events and people in his own life that have made him the insightful thinker and teacher that he is today.Tony recalls traumatic events in his childhood that reverberated throughout his life for many years and describes how, with therapy and time, he was eventually able to heal those internal wounds. He recounts the stories of people in pain that affected him most deeply and informed both the direction of his work and his philosophy as a psychologist.By interweaving his own life story with reflections on how psychology and society treat people with mental health vulnerabilities, Tony invites us to reflect with compassion on the meaning of emotional struggles in all our lives.A searingly honest, lucid and inspiring account of a life, moving from deep childhood trauma to the hard-earned wisdom of a wounded healer. A compelling read and remarkable achievement. Richard KearneyI was moved by Tonys honesty; humbled by his courage; fascinated by the way he used psychology to make sense of his personal suffering; and inspired by the place he has arrived at this point in his life. Beautifully written, poetic in parts, Tonys book is a treasure trove of wisdom. Everyone should read it. Alan Carr, PHDWhat a generous gift, so typical of Tony, to those who need to know that in their loneliness or depression they are not alone Dr Mary McAleeseThis is an emotional read in which the psychologist bears their own soul and highlights why they are so skilled at their work Niall Breslin

Ist dieses Buch ein Projekt der Aliens?Klara Wolf (Pseudonym) und ihre Familie hat bereits seit langerer Zeit auergewohnliche Erlebnisse und Kontakterfahrungen mit einer nichtirdischen Intelligenz. So hatte es die Autorin nicht nur mit den inzwischen allseits bekannten Grauen zu tun. Auch Blonde, durre Arzte, Reptiloide, eine riesige Gottesanbeterin (Mantis), geist- und energieartige Erscheinungen und Men in Black begegneten ihr. Nachdem Klara Wolf sich an den fachkundigen Autor und Hypnosetherapeuten Dr. Marcel Polte wandte, nahm sie dessen Ratschlag an, ihre Erlebnisse genau zu notieren. Auerdem wurden zahlreiche Zeichnungen uber das Geschehene von der Autorin und ihren Tochtern angefertigt. Im Laufe der Zeit wurde der Autorin klar, dass die Fremden ihr ganz offensichtlich Dinge zeigen, die sie fur die weitere Entwicklung der Menschheit fur wichtig erachten. Somit ist dieses Buch einzigartig und auch ein Projekt der Aliens.Der Entfuhrungs- und Kontaktfall Klara Wolf ist in seiner Ausfuhrlichkeit und den vielen einzelnen Facetten wohl einmalig im deutschsprachigen Raum. Allein der auerst gut dokumentierte Fall von Betty Andreasson, der von dem US-Forscher Raymond Fowler uber Jahre hinweg begleitet und in mehreren Buchern festgehalten wurde, kommt dem nahe. Dieses Buch ist ein Muss fur jeden, der sich fur das UFO-Entfuhrungs-Phanomen interessiert. Das vorliegende Werk vermittelt tiefgrundige Weisheiten. Doch nicht nur in und zwischen den Zeilen. Wer sich mit Zeit und Offenheit den Zeichnungen widmet, wird darin sicher auf versteckte Botschaften stoen. Dr. Marcel Polte

TIEFSTE DIMENSIONEN DES WISSENS Wie entsteht Existenz? Wer schafft Leben und Welten? Vielen Menschen gilt als Antwort: das war der Urknall. Ganz anders sehen es seit Urzeiten die Legenden und Marchen vieler Volker. Ihnen zufolge entstand die Welt nicht durch ein physikalisches Zufallsereignis, sondern wurde durch Magie oder Gesang aus dem Nichts geschopft. Unsere Tiefenerinnerungen sagen uns ahnliches. Im Versuch, Sinn und Zweck des eigenen Lebens zu begreifen, stoen Tausende Menschen in ihren MindWalking-Sitzungen auf groe und grote Zusammenhange. Auch die Entstehungsgeschichte des Universums und von Existenz uberhaupt erschliet sich. Demzufolge ist unsere Welt nicht durch einen Urknall entstanden, sondern auf spiritueller Grundlage. Sie wurde buchstablich ins Leben gerufen und wird es immer noch, denn auch heute noch entsteht Existenz permanent aus dem Nichts heraus. Wie Geist zu Materie werden kann und welche Grundgesetze dabei zum Tragen kommen, davon handelt dieses Buch im ersten Teil. Der zweite Teil vergleicht die Legenden zur Schopfungsgeschichte mit den ahnlich marchenhaft klingenden MindWalking-Befunden. Wir alle haben als geistige Wesen eine Rolle dabei gespielt, sei sie klein oder gro. Wir tun es immer noch. Welche Verantwortung damit einhergeht, wird in diesem Buch deutlich gemacht. Leserstimmen: "Die Erkenntnisse aus vielen tausenden Stunden geistiger Erkundungsreisen in wenigen Gesetzmaigkeiten zusammengefasst. Damit wird eine neue Sicht auf die Welt nicht nur greifbar, sondern auch besprechbar. Ein Fundament fur wirksames und befreiendes Training, Coaching und Management!" Wie ist unsere Welt entstanden? Wer oder was sind wir? Welches Potenzial steckt in uns? Das steckt fur mich da drin. Alle Phanomene und Komponenten von Existenz und Bewusstsein werden hier erklart. Besonders die Entstehung von Lebewesen hat mich beruhrt, gerade dass Pflanzen und Tiere eine Personlichkeit haben weit uber das Biologische hinaus. Wie das Universum und der ganze Rest verkorkst wurde. Und wie wir es anhand der Gesetze des Seins wieder in Ordnung bringen konnen. Erhellende Fakten, um sich selbst naher zu kommen und sich und sein Umfeld zu kapieren. Die Urmutter aller Science-Fiction-Filme mit ihrem Kampf zwischen Gut und Bose.
