Amanda is 41, divorced, and broke. With no other options, she leaves Chicago and moves back in with her mother in the small Texas town where she grew up. On a whim, she visits her old college campus. Inspired, she signs up for a philosophy class as a way to rekindle her thinking skills and rebuild her sense of self.
As readers take the class with Amanda, they will explore a variety of provocative books and class discussions that could help them gain insight and clarity regarding their own life journeys. This is a work of fiction, philosophy class, and therapeutic experience rolled into one novel. It was written by a former instructor whose passion for guiding people to find, and awaken to, their callings found expression through this story.
References to the works discussed will be offered with each class for readers who want to engage in the works.

The Art of Understanding: A Journey to Deeper Human Connection
Introduction: Why Understanding Matters More Than Ever We live in a hyper-connected world where technology enables instant messaging, social media updates, and constant notifications. Yet, paradoxically, people feel lonelier than ever. Conversations have become transactional, and emotions often get lost in translation. We scroll, swipe, and type, but we don't truly see or hear each other. The world is saturated with communication, but starved of understanding. The ache of not being understood is not just emotional-it's existential. It can erode self-worth, dismantle trust, and lead to isolation. Many people walk through life with emotional wounds that come not from rejection, but from the deafening silence of being unseen. Understanding, therefore, is not a soft skill; it is a survival skill. It is the foundation of emotional safety, mental well-being, and authentic human connection. And it's an art-delicate, intentional, and deeply human. This book is not designed to give you shortcuts or quick fixes. It is designed to challenge your perceptions, deepen your empathy, and equip you with the tools to connect with others-and yourself-at a much more meaningful level. To understand is to see without judging, to listen without interrupting, and to feel without needing to fix. Welcome to the journey of becoming someone who understands-not just what people say, but what they mean.Lengkap

This Is What You Wanted (Excerpt)
From chapter one of This Is What You Wanted -- "Hello, sweetness..." From the outside, Amanda Keefe has it together. She is a shy but earnest adjunct instructor at a small state college in western Michigan dealing with a condescending boss and the relentless university system. But the ravages of childhood trauma have scarred her body inside and out, and she finds no safety in her own home that she shares with her stern, Catholic parents and resentful, secretive brother. To deal with her stress, she has two addictions-one for pleasure, and one for pain. Both are different in execution, but similar in their end goal. Amanda controls her meticulous regimen without incident until the night she decides to be more adventurous and invites another broken soul into her world. Then she has to fight both new and old demons and reckon with her traumatic past.Lengkap
