Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Apologies Can Help You Move Forward With Your Life “To err is human; to forgive divine.” But what if the person who hurt you most refuses to apologize or express any regret? That’s the question haunting Manhattan journalist Susan Shapiro when her trusted advisor of fifteen years repeatedly lies to her. Stunned by the betrayal, she can barely eat or sleep. She’s always seen herself as big-hearted and benevolent, someone who will forgive anyone anything - as long as they’re remorseful. Yet the addiction specialist who helped her quit smoking, drinking and drugs after decades of self-destruction won’t explain – or stop - his ongoing deceit, leaving her blindsided. Her crisis management strategy is becoming her crisis. To protect her sanity and sobriety, Shapiro ends their relationship and vows they’ll never speak again. Yet ghosting him doesn’t end her distress. She has screaming arguments with him in her mind, relives their fallout in panicked nightmares and even lights a candle, chanting a secret Yiddish curse to exact revenge. In her entrancing, heartfelt new memoir The Forgiveness Tour: How to Find the Perfect Apology, Shapiro wrestles with how to exonerate someone who can’t cough up a measly “my bad” or mumble “mea culpa.” Seeking wisdom, she explores the billion-dollar Forgiveness Industry touting the personal benefits of absolution, where the only choice on every channel is: radical forgiveness. She fears it’s all bullshit. Desperate for enlightenment, she surveys her old rabbis, as well as religious leaders from every denomination. Unable to reconcile all the confusing abstractions, she embarks on a cross country journey where she interviews people who suffered unforgivable wrongs that were never atoned: victims of genocides, sexual assault, infidelity, cruelty and racism. A Holocaust survivor in D.C. admits he’s thrived from spite. A Michigan man meets with the drunk driver who killed his wife and children. A daughter in Seattle grapples with her mother - who stayed married to the father who raped her. Knowing their estrangement isn’t her fault, a Florida mom spends eight years apologizing to her son anyway -with surprising results. Does love mean forever having to say you’re sorry? Critics praised Shapiro’s previous memoir Lighting Up: How I Stopped Smoking, Drinking and Everything Else I Loved in Life Except Sex as fiercely honest, fascinating, funny and “a mind-bendingly good read.” Now the bestselling author and popular writing professor returns with a darker, wiser follow up, addressing the universal enigma of blind forgiving. Shapiro’s brilliant new gurus sooth her broken psyche and answer her burning mystery: How can you forgive someone without an apology? Does she? Should you?

Book excerpt: The first ever Biography of Robert Newton... "He was never an actor, he was always like that, a little devil...!" The man laughs; laughter in his voice and in his eyes, glad at the rich memory. Lamorna, Cornwall, June 2005. From an idyll Cornish childhood to a desperate death amidst the Hollywood elite. Cowboy, beach-bum, loaded and flat broke. He survived the bloodiest naval arena in the second world war; married four times he failed as a husband and a father. He starred in dozens of films, dozens of plays. Newton was more than an actor, yet he is the quintessential pirate, Disney's 'Long John Silver', is the brutal 'Bill Sykes' in Oliver Twist. Farmer, tax exile, he ran his own theatre and loved Rolls Royces. In America and Australia. Generous, gregarious, needful, lost, he swept through life and left people reeling in his wake; Olivier, Burton, Coward, Wayne. Laughing, infected with his joyous lust for life. He hid discretion under a coat of folly, but he was the man who would tell you, tell everybody, loudly, that the Emperor was naked...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book on freedom of speech and expression starts (Chapter 1) with an inter-cultural history of this valued right through the ages and then recalls (Chapter 2) the benefits for which we rightly value it. But what about speech that frustrates these benefits? Supporters of the benefits of free speech have reason to exercise voluntary self-restraint on speech which frustrates the benefits. They should also cultivate a second remedy: the art, illustrated in chapter 1, and called by Gandhi the art of 'opening ears', by other kinds of speech and conduct. Such voluntary methods are to be preferred to legal constraints. But (chapter 3) legal constraint is sometimes necessary. In the 21st century, social media funding based on manipulation of personal speech data requires skilful legislation and enforcement in favour of social media that protect our freedoms"--

Book excerpt: In November 2004, shopping centre billionaire Frank Lowy walked into a packed media conference and announced the creation of a new professional football league. Armed with $15 million of government funds, Lowy was about to wake the sleeping giant of Australian sport. The A-League kicked off in 2005. Over the competition's first decade it has seen more than its fair share of drama, on and off the field. International superstars have come to play, eccentric billionaires have bought and sold franchises, and clubs have folded after haemorrhaging millions of dollars. Yet the football has been passionate and captivating, and attendances and television audiences have grown as Australians have embraced the game as never before. Relying on unprecedented access to key figures in the code, John Stensholt and Shaun Mooney reveal the true story behind the A-League's first ten years- the egos, the power plays and the rows between some of Australia's richest men as they try to make the world game Australia's favourite sport. 'Once I started, I couldn't put it down. A wonderful and riveting insight into the first decade of the A-League.' Ray Gatt, The Australian 'There's enough in this for a 20-year period, such has been the last decade in Australian club football.

Download or read book Cultural Autobiographical and Absent Memories of Orphanhood written by Delyth Edwards and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an empirically informed understanding of how cultural, autobiographical and absent memories of orphanhood interact and interconnect or come into being in the re-telling of a life story and construction of an identity. The volume investigates how care experienced identities are embedded within personal, social and cultural practices of remembering. The book stems from research carried out into the life (hi)stories of twelve undervalued ‘historical witnesses’ (Roberts, 2002) of orphanhood: women who grew up in Nazareth House children’s home in Belfast, Northern Ireland, during the 1940s, 50s and 60s. Several themes are covered, including histories of care in Northern Ireland, narratives and memories, sociologies of home, and self and identity. The result is an impressive text that works to introduce readers to the complexity of memory for care experienced people and what this means for their life story and identity.

I hope it makes you laugh, sigh, smile and maybe at times see a little bit of sadness because that's what I felt writing it, all of those things. There is no point hiding the hard bits but equally there is no point dismissing the good and there is plenty of that!

Download or read book Tape s Rolling Take One written by Adrian Kerridge and published by M-y Books Limited. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adrian Kerridge has been part of the British recording industry for the past 50 years. His revolutionary and often forthright approach within the music industry has put him at the centre of the recording world for half a century. As owner of the eminent Lansdowne Studios - birth place of the Dave Clark Five, and home to numerous household name artists and session stories as well as the cofounding father of the CADAC console brand - he witnessed first-hand the technological changes of an industry transitioning from analogue tape to multi-track to digital recording and editing in the 80s and forwards; was a forerunner in the 60s of the then experimental practice of direct injection – now widely employed by sound engineers and laid the foundations for a more modern upfront sound that was lacking in the 50s and early 60s. Renown for creating unique sonic signature for bands and other recording artists, Adrian's approach to recording was unlike anything the industry had seen in the years previous. He recorded "hot" while his contemporaries were more conservative in their approach. This book traces his personal journey from war time Britain to the swinging 60s taking in the technical and social changes that were to shape the way music was recorded. It tells the story of a choir boy from West London who fell in love with Jazz and landed a job at a music shop. A chance invitation to sit in on a studio recording of the Sydney Lipton band sparked in Adrian an interest that was to put him on a path from choir boy to the foremost "Ears" in the business. Adrian describes how his first job at IBC London, one of the UK's largest independent recording studios at the time, led him to work with the legendary and sometimes volatile Joe Meek. Working with Joe gave Adrian crucial insights into the talented engineer's innovative techniques, which he describes in technical and personal detail, After a brief stint of National Service, Adrian returned to the recording industry but instead of resuming his old job at IBC he was offered a job alongside Joe Meek at a completely new London studio – Lansdowne Recording Studios – with producer Denis Preston, who ran his own Record Supervision jazz label. Adrian describes his experience of working with Joe and Denis, becoming responsible for his own sessions, and the studios' prolific output. He paints the picture of Joe's complex character, as well as his ground breaking and highly successful recording techniques. Joe's premature departure from Lansdowne meant Adrian suddenly found himself catapulted into the job of senior engineer and solely responsible for running the studios. It was during this time that Adrian, along with the Dave Clark Five, led the British "invasion" of the U.S. music scene in the 1960s pioneering new audio techniques using equipment considered primitive by today's standards. Adrian relates how in the early 1960s, the Dave Clark Five first came into the studio, and how his contribution to the band's development helped create their signature "Tottenham Sound". He provides unique insights into the recording of numerous hits such as "Glad All Over" which resulted in huge success for the band knocking the Beatles' song "I want to hold your hand" off the top of the U.K. charts in January 1964, going on to sell 2.5M copies. Nowadays you can get a number one with 10-20,000 copies. He describes his intriguing experiences in Germany and Belgium, recording material for the KPM Music Library and other music libraries.
