Robert J. Enright writes: “I returned too late from a race in Gyor, Hungary, to attend the 35th reunion. In early May I went to a seminar in Providence and took advantage of a mild sunny afternoon to jog up College Hill to familiar sounds and sites on the Green. Music played loudly; tables were set up to distribute manifestos; some people strolled through purposefully from all directions; others stood or sat on the grass in loose clusters; Frisbees glided back and forth. I flashed to having bumped into the late Rosalie Colie, who made a mark on me that was more like an indentation—I helped her lug the manuscript of what became a book of essays on Shakespeare. The neighborhoods around the campus retain their considerable charm; that will never change. I have long since reached this conclusion about my four years: largely wasted, but unavoidably so. I competed for Team USA in the World Long Course Duathlon Championships in Richmond, Va., in late October.”

Published by New World Library and subtitled Finding Your True Center for More Energy, Confidence, and Pleasure, the book details practical, playful ways to reclaim the body’s center as our source of vitality, passion, creativity, intuition, and sense of purpose. Do I draw on my experience at Brown? You bet. My concentration in biology comes in handy as I guide readers through the belly’s physiology and somatic psychology. Courses in Buddhist and Taoist classics prepared me to appreciate Asian cultures’ regard for the soul power concentrated in the body’s center; my practices as a yoga instructor and bodywork therapist build on that early foundation. My hope for this book? I see women of all ages using it to develop dazzling body confidence, radiant health, and unshakable self-esteem.
