New York New York U.S.A.: Riverhead Books 2008. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. A photo of this book is available. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $25.95. Previous owner's signature in book front on blank page Glena. 336 pages. NO tears inside book. Tight spine bright pages. Several pages show highlighting light yellow. Does NOT interfere with reading. IF NOT for the highlighting I would have rated this book as Fine Condition. The Barnes & Noble Review Of the seven deadly sins some seem deadlier than others. What of sloth How bad can it be The lust of philandering public figures and the greed of businessmen can bring down governments and capsize the globe's economies. Even gluttony seems an appalling indulgence of both waste and waists inviting civic intervention against fast-food chains and trans fats. By comparison I doubt many can define sloth even if they know it -- like obscenity -- when they see it. Slothful behavior may seem wanton and disdainful but it poses nothing of the menace to the individual or the social good that its half-dozen dangerous brethren threaten. Whether conceived of as melancholic apathy or lazy indolence sloth goes a lonely path. Synopsis Kathleen Norris's masterpiece: a personal and moving memoir that resurrects the ancient term acedia or soul-weariness and brilliantly explores its relevancy to the modern individual and culture. Kathleen Norris had written several much loved books yet she couldn't drag herself out of bed in the morning couldn't summon the energy for daily tasks. Even as she struggled Norris recognized her familiar battle with acedia. She had discovered the word in an early Church text when she was in her thirties. Having endured times of deep soul-weariness since she was a teenager she immediately recognized that this passage described her affliction: sinking into a state of being unable to care. Fascinated by this "noonday demon" so familiar to those in the early and medieval Church Norris read intensively and knew she must restore this forgotten but utterly relevant and important concept to the modern world's vernacular. Like Norris's bestselling The Cloister Walk Acedia & me is part memoir and part meditation. As in her bestselling Amazing Grace here Norris explicates and demystifies a spiritual concept exploring acedia through the geography of her life as a writer; her marriage and the challenges of commitment in the midst of grave illness; and her keen interest in the monastic tradition. Unlike her earlier books this one features a poignant narrative throughout of Norris's and her husband's bouts with acedia and its clinical cousin depression. Moreover her analysis of acedia reveals its burden not just on individuals but on whole societies- and that the "restless boredom frantic escapism commitment phobia and enervatingdespair that we struggle with today are the ancient demon of acedia in modern dress." An examination of acedia in the light of theology psychology monastic spirituality the healing powers of religious practice and Norris's own experience Acedia & me is both intimate and historically sweeping brimming with exasperation and reverence sometimes funny often provocative and always important.
