In this book, you will find insights into love, sorrow, ecstasy and everything in between: Love in the moment or for a lifetime; love that is fulfilling or addictive; when to break up and how to survive when someone breaks up with you. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeparate sections deal with responses to the natural world, and the varieties of human experience (such as hope, reconciliation, leaving home, faith, self-actualization, trauma, anger, and the thrill of discovery). Other sections involve finding your way in the world and the search for meaning, as well as the final stages of life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn describing this multitude of human experiences, using vignettes from his work and life, Rosenthal serves as a comforting guide to these poetic works of genius. Through his writing, the workings of the mind, as depicted by these gifted writers speak to us as intimately as our closest friends. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRosenthal also delves into the science of mind and brain. Who would have thought, for example, that listening to poetry can cause people to have goosebumps by activating the reward centers of the brain? Yet research shows that to be true. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd who were these fascinating poets? In a short biosketch that accompanies each poem, Rosenthal draws connections between the poets and their poems that help us understand the enigmatic minds that gave birth to these masterworks. Altogether, a fulfilling and intriguing must-read for anyone interested in poetry, the mind, self-help and genius. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntroduction \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART ONE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLoving and Losing \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter One\u003cbr\u003eIs There an Art to Losing?\u003cbr\u003eOne Art \u003ci\u003eby Elizabeth Bishop\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter Two\u003cbr\u003eCan Love Transform You?\u003cbr\u003eHow do I love thee?
