摘要
These are unsettling times! Fear and caution have replaced security and optimism in less than two years. Uncertainty and trauma are everywhere. What you are feeling is real. Until now no one has envisioned the individual within our new environment. Who am I? What do I want? How can I create my future? What does it mean to be human? Has my soul changed during the last two years and how do I find out? We rarely ask ourselves these questions. Today, these questions resonate loudly and carry a personal moral imperative. Our institutions ? national, religious, academic ? cannot dictate or define our individual response. We can seek our own answers in our inner life ... searching for our personal harmony, our personal truth, our personal goodness, our confrontation with evil in our own ?New Ordinary Life.' 9/11 made us realize that we all have a life decision to make. One choice takes us back to our lives on ?September 10th,? a life that seemed safe and secure but wasn't. (Many have already naively made this choice.) Another choice is to live on ?September 11th? ? a life of fear, betrayal, shock, anger and disbelief with no future path. We see this, today, among many of us. There is a third option ? to evolve into ?September 12th?New Ordinary Life,? following a modern and thoughtful path to a healing, freeing, tolerant and empowering existence. In their new audio book, GROUND ZERO And The HUMAN SOUL: THE SEARCH FOR THE NEW ORDINARY LIFE, Lynn Jericho and Bethene LeMahieu, Ed.D. provide insights, inspirations and practical empowering exercises to help us to focus on ?9/12?, that ?New Ordinary Life.' They help us to explore a future where we are responsible for our own humanity. They talk together about the need to develop an understanding and a tolerance/acceptance of others, to move beyond terrorism, trauma and tragedy and to confront and acknowledge evil. Their conversations are lively, incisive, inspired, uniquely creative and truly practical.GROUND ZERO And The HUMAN SOUL is a series of six discussions between Lynn and Bethene designed to help us examine our lives and the complexities of our human soul in today's world. We know we have changed, but how? September 11, 2001, and the times since, weren't just ordinary days. Our decisions about our ?New Ordinary Life? can impact not just our world but the world as a whole. For a harmonious future life, it is crucial that we each explore this new reality.

9/11 The events of September 11, 2001 have produced a flood of books, most of them concentrating on the physical damage done to our country but seldom looking at the psychological devastation. Buildings can be repaired or replaced, but how can Americans move from how they felt on September 10 to the emotional scars that were evident on September 12? The horrible images completely captured our attention, but when we woke up the following day, we knew our lives and our nation would never be the same. Jericho and LeMahieu attempt to tackle this seismic upheaval in the American psyche and present a book that will cause everyone who listens to it to face some major life-altering decisions: How will we cope with the irreversible shift in international relations, how will we react when we come face to face with pure evil, how can we teach our children that evil and goodness can coexist, and how will we deal with our own personal ground zeros? Not an easy audiobook to listen to or even comprehend the first time around, but it does provide a much-needed foundation for building a realistic post-September 11 world. Emphasizing psychology over history, this provocative and challenging work belongs in every public library.-Joseph L. Carlson, Lompoc P.L., CA (c) Copyright 2010.
