There are plenty of books that offer advice about how to get or keep love in your life. But what about the stories we've all heard of people who do absolutely crazy things in the name of love, things that are the complete opposite of the sober advice offered by self-help books? In CRAZY LITTLE THING: Why Love and Sex Drive Us Mad, publishing in December by Viva Editions, Liz Langley interviewed dozens of people on the extreme edges of love and desire, as well as the experts who are uncovering new scientific information that urges us to ask: how much of our behavior is really our choice? Psychologists, academics and analysts of culture continue to offer us better understanding of ourselves in love and other areas, but neurologists and other specialists, armed with the brain scan, have taken the game to a higher level. Reaching across science, literature and newspaper headlines to illuminate the irrational things people do in the name of love, Langley reveals mental disorders, paraphilias, God and extraterrestrial conspiracies. Edgar Alan Poe's wife succumbed to tuberculosis when she was just 25 and forevermore his work was populated by sweet young women who died too young, often from wasting diseases. Nadine and Bob had both devoted their lives to the church, a nun and priest who never considered any other life until they met one another. And though turning toward each other seemed irrational, their love turned out to be their true commitment to spirituality. When his wife died in 2003, Le Van, a 55 year-old father of seven, at first slept on top of her grave. When his kids found out and prevented him from visiting the graveyard, he brought her home and slept beside her there. Langley goes on to explain recent breakthroughs in brain science for general readers. This book isn't a how-to. It's more of a guess-what. CRAZY LITTLE THING is a pop romp that begins to make sense of the burbling, boiling soup of endorphins, hormones and neurotransmitters that spill from our brains to make us do insane things in the name of love.

Rob McConnell Interviews - Liz Langley - A Wild Ride into the Hearts and Brains of People Driven Mad by Love

Cecelia Britton was reared as the eldest of eight children in a military family that moved around the world. So, she was exposed to multiple cultures and learned to adapt quickly.   She began her spiritual search when still a teenager after reading books by Edgar Cayce, Ruth Montgomery, Arthur Ford, and James Monroe.  Even as her dreams attempted to scare her away from seeking more spiritual knowledge she persevered by attending an A.R.E. retreat based on Edgar Cayce’s material as presented in the Search for God material which Cecelia then used as her foundation.  Cecelia became a massage therapist during a time when being a massage therapist was considered disreputable. This was a time period before there were schools to teach one how to be a massage therapist. Instead, she apprenticed under a gifted teacher that worked in an MD’s clinic.  Cecelia was a pioneer in Texas helping to educate the public, and have laws passed to legitimatize massage as therapeutic and non-sexual.  Through those years, all manner of educational opportunities began to spring up all over the country and massage began the journey of being taken seriously as a member of alternative health practices. As Cecelia says, “The one thing that is not mentioned in massage schools is the fact that when one commits to a healing field, every unhealed aspect of the practitioner shows up on the table in the form of the practitioner’s clients.”  For her bodywork intensified her interest in doing her own inner work.  This has taken her into working with healers and their many modalities of healing, learning to understand and feel energy.  She is now in her seventies and still works with clients to assist them to get in touch with themself so that body-mind-spirit connection is more available for them as well.

Larry Holcombe's introduction to the world of ufology came in the late 1950’s after reading Major Donald Keyhoe’s, Flying Saucers Are Real and Flying Saucers from Outer Space, found in his high school library. These books started a 50 plus year study and avocation into mainstream research of what Holcombe believe's to be the most important story in the history of mankind.
