Handbook for Constructive Living (Latitude 20 Book)

David K. Reynolds

University of Hawaii Press, 2002

A clear-as-a-bell guide to focused and purposeful living.
The last self-help book you'll need. David Reynolds offers a concise and practical summary of this practical approach to life, its problems, and its pleasures that originated in Japan. Of all his books, this was, for me, the most accessible. Constructive Living helps the readers shift their focus from their own problems and emotions (the primary focus on Western psychotherapy) to the world ...

George B. Bridgman

Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2008

One of my Top 3 Bridgman books- great in drawing from memory...
Mainly for intermediate-level artists- it's actually *GREAT* for enthusiastic beginners. It has a little bit of *everything* depicting anatomy construction from memory. It's also great for general improvement; a few tips & tricks- an *excellent* reference for all working artists. This is the book that really turned me on to the genius that is Bridgman. At first glance it may not be immediately ...

Michael J. Mahoney

The Guilford Press, 2005

Making Meaning...Witnessing Individual Lives...Emphasizing Freedom
Michael Mahoney has taught me so much over the years even though I never knew him well personally. Very rarely, an author comes along within the field of clinical psychology, who seems to be writing directly to me, helping me grow, helping me to be a better clinician, and contributing to my being a better person. Michael's book has done just that for me. The knowledge within this book is such ...

Constructive Living (Kolowalu Books)

David K. Reynolds

University of Hawaii Press, 1984

Short, simple, effective
I was lost. It seemed to me that Western psychological theories were largely speculation and confident assertion and not much help. Krishnamurti made some great sense but I'd been unable after years to put his teaching into practice. What a welcome relief to find David Reynolds and "Constructive Living". The emphasis on doing what one can do may seem simple. However, I had become so complicated ...

Superb overview of the history of process thought.
David Ray Griffin's essay on Hartshorne is more than worth the price of the book all by itself.

Knowing and Value: Toward a Constructive Postmodern Epistemology (Suny Series in Constructive Postmodern ...
Frederick Ferre

State University of New York Press, 1998

Modern thought, finally free from premodern excesses of belief, immediately fell prey to excesses of doubt. This book points toward a postmodern approach to knowing that moves beyond the tired choice between dogma and skepticism. Its key deconstructive aim is to help contemporary philosophers see that their paralyzing modern "epistemological gap" is a myth. Its positive outcome, however, reverses the identification of "postmodern" with ...

3 reviews

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2005

Good materials for construction
When I was in seminary, I took a course entitled 'systematic theology'. While this was indeed the subject, the task of the course was more in line with what this text deals with - at the end of that course, we had to construct (as best we could) a consistent theology that dealt with the primary areas of theological concern. The editors Serene Jones and Paul Lakeland have divided this text ...
