Download or read book All Joy and No Fun written by Jennifer Senior and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of books have examined the effects of parents on their children. In All Joy and No Fun, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior now asks: what are the effects of children on their parents? In All Joy and No Fun, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior tries to tackle this question, isolating and analyzing the many ways in which children reshape their parents' lives, whether it's their marriages, their jobs, their habits, their hobbies, their friendships, or their internal senses of self. She argues that changes in the last half century have radically altered the roles of today's mothers and fathers, making their mandates at once more complex and far less clear. Recruiting from a wide variety of sources—in history, sociology, economics, psychology, philosophy, and anthropology—she dissects both the timeless strains of parenting and the ones that are brand new, and then brings her research to life in the homes of ordinary parents around the country. The result is an unforgettable series of family portraits, starting with parents of young children and progressing to parents of teens. Through lively and accessible storytelling, Senior follows these mothers and fathers as they wrestle with some of parenthood's deepest vexations—and luxuriate in some of its finest rewards. Meticulously researched yet imbued with emotional intelligence, All Joy and No Fun makes us reconsider some of our culture's most basic beliefs about parenthood, all while illuminating the profound ways children deepen and add purpose to our lives. By focusing on parenthood, rather than parenting, the book is original and essential reading for mothers and fathers of today—and tomorrow.

Download or read book David of Muskrat Bottom written by Adrian Schaar and published by Ohio Family Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-24 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DAVID OF MUSKRAT BOTTOM What might, at first glance, appear to be a feel-good story of a little boy at play, quickly evolves into a narrative of the author's journey from boyhood through military service in the Vietnam War and the delayed aftermath. The reader is treated to a palatable rendering of hard gained wisdom, down home philosophy, chuckling humor and tear-jerking sadness. It is the story of a life exposed - within the bounds of propriety - of an author who is anchored in realism, but eternally optimistic. David of Muskrat Bottom, a memoir with a purpose that goes beyond the telling of events, gives the reader assurance that screwing-up is a common human trait and, if handled properly, becomes a tuition free educational experience. It includes a brief look at events during the author's Vietnam experience that probably missed the nightly news. Arguably, the most valuable aspect of the book may be that it provides a path to dealing with PTSD as well as life.

Download or read book Solo and Smart written by Carol Marak and published by . This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Solo and Smart, Carol reveals her step-by-step strategy for creating a more golden future, inspiring readers to take action to plan for their health, wealth, and more-and giving them hope. Readers realize they aren't entirely at the mercy of what inevitably befalls most elders and that they can exercise some control over their future by taking some concrete steps. Carol teaches readers an easy, surefire method to self-discover, self-assess, and self-plan-giving them full control over how they want to live in the years ahead. Readers will identify and evaluate their current challenges and then build the skills and confidence to get ahead of any landmines. She teaches readers not only how to age well but how to live well-by shaping the future they want rather than reacting to it. And Carol is living proof. Using the blueprint outlined in this book, Carol has created a successful, thriving lifestyle. She is independent, connected, safe, satisfied, healthy, and strong. This is what readers can enjoy if they follow the processes in the book.In Solo Aging, Carol speaks directly to the growing population of "solo agers," or people aged fifty-five and up who do or will not have the traditional familial supports most of our ancestors counted on as elders. The number of adults who live alone and far from family is growing. Relying on data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study (HRS), Harvard researchers examined trends among adults aged sixty-one to sixty-three over a twenty-year period (1994-2014). During this time, the percentage of adults living without a spouse or significant other grew from 25 percent to 31 percent. The number of older adults who live within 10 miles of a relative fell by 12 percent. It's common for siblings and children to live far away from one another, and the days of the three-generation household are, for the most part, long gone. Over the next forty years, solo aging is expected to be a major source of stress for close to 25 million of the sixty-five-plus population.
