Some travelers dig deep, with a sharp appetite for knowledge and minds wide open to what's old and what's new. In Cultured Traveler, the latest in the travel book collaborations between The New York Times and TASCHEN, these adventurers hum to Mozart in Vienna and tap their toes to dance music in Dar es Salaam. They pursue Hamlet in Elsinore, Picasso on the French Riviera, and Le Corbusier in India. They follow in the footsteps of Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackie Kennedy, and even Jesus.
Through 100 stories of their trips around the globe, talented Times travel writers and photographers invite readers to share in their discoveries. Pack your suitcase with curiosity for a trek to see Buddhist cave art in China or an afternoon of kayaking in Germany's intriguing and idyllic Spreewald. Challenge your senses along with your wits tasting maple syrup in Quebec or octopus snacks at a Japanese baseball game, sniffing the flowers in French perfume country, and sipping Cognac in none other than the place called Cognac.
And, as always, sample each writer's unique point of view. Henry Shukman, poet and teacher of Zen, hikes in England on Europe's oldest road amid a landscape he describes as elemental, austere, with a kind of monumental elegance. Jason Wilson, the series editor for The Best American Travel Writing, follows the trail of the Stradivarius in fascinating prose, though he confesses, I do not, in fact, play the violin. The veteran travel writer and author Tony Perrottet, with Sydney's art scene as Exhibit A, sets out to prove that Australia has a lot more to offer than rampant hedonism and cuddly koalas.
The best travel is both fun and a learning experience. With Times-quality journalism and visuals, illuminating historic photos, and tips on what to read and watch for inspiration, Cultured Traveler gets you in the thick of it.
We think 60,000 thoughts a day. And yet, scientific research tells us a whopping 70% of those thoughts are negative. No wonder stress, social anxiety, depression, and unhappiness are on the rise
If you want to stop that incessant, negative voice in your head, read this book.
One night in 2010, author Barbara Ireland was singing onstage with Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam when she suddenly heard her own inner thoughts. She was shocked at how self-critical they were and wondered: Are these negative thoughts going through my head all the time?
Turns out they were - and they'd been sabotaging her life for years.
We all think negative thoughts. We dwell on past conflicts, we worry, we wonder if we're good enough, we judge others, fume, resent, envy, compare. We spill some orange juice and yell in our heads, You're such an idiot
Sound familiar? What you may not realize is just how damaging that negative voice is.
Repetitive, negative thoughts - Mind Loops - increase stress, deplete your energy, interrupt your sleep, make you less productive - and can trigger destructive emotions like fear, jealousy, and shame. Your relationships, career and self-esteem suffer.
Tragically, Mind Loops can also sabotage you from achieving your most cherished dreams and goals because they create self-doubt with their mantras: You aren't good enough, You can't do it, and Why try?
But there is a way to interrupt repetitive, negative thoughts.
Based on neuroscience, Ireland's proven 4 D's of De-Looping program will show you how to:
- catch, and detach from, negative thoughts before they have a chance to hook you
- heal and free yourself from painful memories - no matter how long ago they occurred
- reframe life's challenges so you can let go of resentments, stress, and worry
- literally re-wire your brain of its negative messages to free up energy to pursue your life's goals.
Your confidence, peace of mind, and happiness will finally have a chance to thrive.
The techniques in this book have transformed many people's lives. They can transform yours, too.
From singer and bassist, filmmaker and now author, Barbara Ireland, comes an inspired book that begins to translate the science of negative thinking and neural pathways for those of us without Ph.D's. - Stone Gossard, Pearl Jam
In the concept of Mind Loops, Barbara Ireland has identified the source of negativity, depression, and paralyzing feelings that undermine our dreams and well-being. In a sweeping act of creative genius she has distilled a number of simple remedies that will work for anyone willing to use them. -Wayne Lehrer, author, The Prodigy Within
Barbara's program gives you a road map and action plan to remove repetitive, negative thoughts from your life. I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream that was plagued by severe insecurities, anxiety and self-doubt due to the techniques found in Barbara's book. I highly recommend it -Amy W., Seattle, WA
Two Free Bonuses Come With This Book

- An mp3 audiobook of Ireland reading, The 7-Day Mental Diet: How To Change Your Life In a Week by Dr. Emmet Fox - an inspiring and motivational read to start your program
We were propelled, my little family and I, into a dense fog, driven by grief's unbearable pain. The faith we held so dear hung loosely across us like a worn life jacket that we hoped might somehow save us. Each had the task of traversing Tragedy's waters. Every man for himself, yet bonded by our loss
Life changed forever for Barbara and Paul Ireland and their family following a freak accident that claimed their little daughter's life. Three-year-old Laura died tragically and, in the process, left the Irelands devastated.
Daddy Will Carry Me is a powerful story told by Barb with rawness and honesty. She confronts the question of why? and the dilemma of where God is when the worst happens. The hope-filled pages will bring assurance and encouragement to all who encounter heartbreak and those who stand with them.
Barb and her husband Paul were married in 1986. Between them, they have many roles, including Pastor, Farmer, and Teacher. They are passionate about helping people overcome adversity. Barb and Paul live in regional South Australia with their youngest daughter and two dogs. Family gatherings with their children and granddaughters are among their favourite things.
