Alexander Frater: Chasing the Monsoon: A Modern Pilgrimage Through India

Chasing the Monsoon: A Modern Pilgrimage Through India


Description

On 20th May, the Indian summer monsoon will begin to envelop the country in two great wet arms, one coming from the east, the other from the west. They are united over central India around 10th July, a date that can be calculated within seven or eight days. Alexander Frater aims to follow the monsoon, staying sometimes behind it, sometimes in front of it, and everywhere watching the impact of this extraordinary phenomenon. During the anxious period of waiting, the weather forecaster is king, consulted by pie-crested cockatoos, and a joyful period ensues: there is a period of promiscuity, and scandals proliferate. Frater's journey takes him to Bangkok and the cowboy town on the Thai-Malaysian border to Rangoon and Akyab in Burma (where the front funnels up between the mountains and the sea). His fascinating narrative reveals the exotic, often startling, discoveries of an ambitious and irresistibly romantic adventurer.

Despite the increased media attention given to mental health issues in recent years, there is still much confusion Chasing the Monsoon: A Modern Pilgrimage Through India download PDF about how best to nourish and preserve our own emotional well-being. In Protecting Mental Health, clinical psychologist Dr Keith Gaynor shares his expertise – gleaned from more than ten years’ experience working at the front line of mental health services in Ireland and the UK – in a practical and encouraging fashion.

It also examines the relationship between better mental health and a ‘happier’ society. Anyone, irrespective of age, gender or personal circumstances, can experience mental health difficulties. However, as this book ably explains, by taking the time to nurture our psychological health – as we would our physical health – we will not only be better equipped to overcome problems in every facet of our lives, we can live each day with a sense of confidence and joy.
