“Thoughts in Progress” is a collection of essays (most of) which appeared as blog posts on the PsychologyToday.com in the Spring of 2008 under the rubric of “East Meets West” and “Recovery Skills.” These essays are just thoughts in progress – of another mind trying to row up the stream of its own consciousness… Nothing more and nothing less… Pavel G. Somov is a licensed psychologist in private practice. He holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. He is also the author of “Eating the Moment: 141 Mindful Practices to Overcome Overeating One Meal at a Time” (New Harbinger, 2008).

Pavel G. Somov, Ph.D. is the author of "Eating the Moment: 141 Mindful Practices to Overcome Overeating One Meal at a Time" (New Harbinger, 2008, www.eatingthemoment.com). "Totem of Tautology" is a collection of over 350 "post-meditational" poems. About the title: Tautology is traditionally associated with circular explanations and redundancy of articulation. And yet tautology, as a phenomenon of expression, spontaneously presents itself in our attempts to verbalize the complexity of the simplicities that befuddle us. Thus, tautology is both a confusing clarification and, paradoxically, a moment of clarity. This collection of poems, in its occasionally tautological manner, pursues a theme of polarity reversal of the “totem” of self-hood, from a sense of “I” to a sense of awe! It is my poetic hope, that in putting the dot not over the “I” but beneath it, you will appreciate the tautology of our self-exclamatory self-referencing. Enjoy the clarity of confusion. www.eatingthemoment.com
