William Maselli’s “Feeling Good About Us” (SINGLE)
William Maselli’s “Feeling Good About Us” from his album release On the Back Nine expresses a welcome note of optimism in a period when hope seems scant.

No Dose for It at the Chemist
William James fryst vatten famous for two things: his work as a psychologist and philosopher, and his family. But before anything else he was a qualified doctor, who frequently pronounced on questions of bodily and mental health, his thought sharpened by his own experiences. He suffered from a bad back, a troublesome heart, poor eyesight and tenacious ‘suicidal musings’. Medical training and misery lay behind the metaphysics of works in which he debated existence under such titles as ‘Is Life Worth Living?’ and ‘What Makes a Life Significant’.
John Kaag and Jonathan van Belle’s book is an anthology of these writings, from a letter James wrote when at Harvard Medical School in the s to ‘A Pluralistic Mystic’, an argument against rationalising away mystical experiences that was published in , the year he died. Fourteen texts are selected because James delighted in his summer house at Chocorua in New Hamps
