Jonathan Bellobuono owns a JB Mack macaroni and cheese franchise. (See photo and caption for more news about Jonathan.) Jessica Grogan recently published her first book, Encountering America: Humanistic Psychology, Sixties Culture &
the Shaping of the Modern Self (HarperCollins). A cultural historian, Jessica examines the humanistic psychology movement, influenced by a number of psychologists, such as Abraham Maslow, Rollo May, and Timothy Leary, that revolutionized American culture in the 1960s and 1970s. From the group of ideas that became known as New Age to perennial American anxieties about wellness, identity, and purpose, she traces how humanistic psychology continues to define the way we understand ourselves. Jessica has a doctorate in American studies from the University of Texas at Austin. She has taught courses in American history, culture, and psychology at Southwestern University, the University of Texas, and Mount Holyoke College.
