Based on the life of idiosyncratic aikido master Terry Dobson, this novel by his partner Riki Moss - incorporating Terry's insightful autobiographical stories - reads as a fictionalized memoir. It is the story of two souls meeting at a mutually calamitous turning point in midlife. Fatherless, pushed by his tyrannical mother to the edge of violence and self-mythologizing, the male protagonist turns to aikido to save his life. Twenty-five years later, physically and spiritually heartsick, he returns to the wreckage of his ancestral summer home on Lake Champlain feeling too tainted to train, too blocked to write and too dispirited to deal with his declining health; he seriously considers disappearing into the icy waters.Instead, he drives down a road in an ice storm and hits a cow in a cornfield where an artist is chasing after her dog...Told through two interwoven timelines, one following his life through Park Avenue and the Bowery,

| Author: Michael Rav Laitman |
| Published by: Laitman Kabbalah Publishers |
|
Laitman introduces several extraordinary concepts that weave into a complete solution: the crisis is essentially not financial, but psychological: people have stopped trusting each other, and where there is no trust there is no trade, but only war, isolation, and pain. This mistrust is a result of a natural process that's been evolving for millennia and is culminating today. To resolve the crisis, we must first understand the process that created the alienation. The first, and most important, step to understanding the crisis is to inform people about this natural process through books, such as "Bail Yourself Out", TV, cinema, and any other means of communication. With this information, we will 'revamp' our relationships and build them on trust, collaboration, and yes, care. This mending process will guarantee that we, and our families, prosper in a world of plenty.
