Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poetry collection titled A Color Rose! takes the reader on an emotional journey of self-discovery and self-worth. The first poem, "A Color Rose" tells the story of the fictitious character Rose, a girl of color who was assaulted by white policemen during the apartheid regime. It explores diverse issues that are not socially acceptable for discussion. The darkest chapter, "Winter," deals with sexual abuse, prostitution, addictions, suicide, gender-based violence, and socioeconomic factors. "Autumn Fall" reflects on death, religion, depression, social pressure, and influence while escaping into a magical ancient dream of pharaohs. It then transitions to "Spring," shedding old and growing new, highlighting the inner conflict of compromised worth to experience negative love and acceptance. The final theme of the collection emphasizes the strength of acknowledging self-love and the war waged for inner peace through slavery and women's empowerment poems. "Alive!" expresses the individual growth and resilience essential to surviving the darkest times of winter to a stronger mental state of enlightenment as summer. The title A Color Rose! reflects the journey of overcoming adversity and trauma while also exploring the fiction and dreams within the mind, capturing the beauty and darkness of one's truth authentically within the collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the headlines warn of a world seemingly taking steps backward, behavioral scientist Kristen Lee shares a groundbreaking new psychology of thinking that will propel you forward with a fresh mind-set that inspires connection, collaboration, and creativity. Based on twenty-two years of clinical practice and neuro-scientific research. Dr. Kristen Lee teaches us how to rip up the script society hands us and to see the world through a series of different lenses: The Reflective Lens, The Mindful Lens, the Global Lens, and the Imagineering Lens. Through exercises, worksheets, and thought-provoking anecdotes and case studies, Lee teaches how to cultivate Upward Spiral Habits that are less I-focused and more we-focused, and that will make a positive difference in our circles and beyond. Rather than striving for preconceived notions of "success" that leave us boxed in, depleted, and oblivious to ways we can work together, Mentalligence helps us break out of our comfort zones, elevate our thinking, and develop the behavioral agility to work toward what Positive Psychologists call "The Good Life," one characterized by authentic connections and impact.

Download or read book Unbearable Lightness written by Portia de Rossi and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An unusually fresh and engrossing memoir of both Hollywood and modern womanhood.” —Los Angeles Times In this searing, unflinchingly honest memoir, actress Portia de Rossi shares the truth of her long battle to overcome anorexia and bulimia while living in the public eye, and details the new happiness and health she has found in recent years—including her coming out and her marriage to Ellen DeGeneres. In this groundbreaking memoir, Portia de Rossi reveals the pain and illness that haunted her for decades, from the time she was a twelve-year-old girl working as a model in Australia, through her early rise to fame as a cast member of the hit television show Ally McBeal. All the while terrified that the truth of her sexuality would be exposed in the tabloids, Portia alternately starved herself and binged, putting her life in danger and concealing from herself and everyone around her the seriousness of her illness. She describes the elaborate rituals around food that came to dominate hours of every day and explores the pivotal moments of her childhood that set her on the road to illness. She reveals the heartache and fear that accompany a life lived in the closet, a sense of isolation that was only magnified by her unrelenting desire to be ever thinner, ever more in control of her body and the number of calories she consumed and spent. From her lowest point, Portia began the painful climb back to a life of health and honesty, falling in love and marrying Ellen DeGeneres and emerging as an outspoken and articulate advocate for gay rights and women’s health issues. In this remarkable, landmark book, she has given the world a story that inspires hope and nourishes the spirit.

Download or read book Experiences written by Paul John Hausleben and published by God Bless the Keg Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2023-04-19 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiences in life! The pain and the love and the joy of life! Experiences! We all have them, and we all live it; some people simply talk about them, and relate stories of them, and as the author states in his first non-fiction book, some choose to document and share them. In Experiences. A Series of Essays on My Life, Mr. Paul John Hausleben documents and shares his experiences, and it thrills readers that he did so! Author, publisher, semi-pro hockey goaltender, vice president of a company, award-winning photographer, raconteur, traveler, adventurer, electrician and electronics tech, radio operator, and so much more. From humble roots in Paterson and Haledon, New Jersey, born of a gentle mother with English immigrant roots and a street-smart and tough father squarely from the streets of Paterson, NJ, Paul John Hausleben set out to conquer the world. This is the amazing story of his experiences and adventures; told in his own words, in his special way. Here, within the pages of this book, The Master Storyteller documents in chapters consisting of a series of essays, the experiences of his remarkable life. The author states in his opening notes for the book, “This book is not an autobiography of Paul John Hausleben. It is simply a collection of a series of essays on my own experiences. Just as the title states.” And within the over four-hundred pages, Mr. Hausleben writes of the experiences of his amazingly diverse working career in many locations throughout the United States. He tells of his writing experiences and the loneliness, hard work, and the joys of writing and what motivates him to write. There are powerful essays of experiences as the author tells of battling injuries from playing the position of hockey goaltender, and of encountering life-threatening surgery, recovering, and struggling through depression afterwards. The author relates what his hockey career, his parents, teachers, employers, and mentors meant to him and taught him, what his photography career taught him about the world, and in a most unusual chapter of essays, the author relates amazing essays of experiences of his encounters with the weird and unexplained of this world. Ghostly encounters, humorous and odd people and situations, premonitions, strange events, and places and more! Then, to cap the book off, in a display of unusual behavior for the author, Mr. Hausleben, lets his normally reserved opinions loose in a no-holds-barred chapter, “My Views from The PJH Writing Command Center.” In this series of essays, the author cuts loose with his opinions, thoughts, and observations on the current state of affairs in the world, social media dangers and influences, the modern workplace and workers, COVID-19 and other current topics. The author is, as he says, “A tell it as it is, factual guy from Paterson, New Jersey” and in that chapter, he reveals his powerful thoughts and observations on a wide variety of current subjects. Throughout the book, the words as they typically are with the author remain honest, powerfully emotional, straightforward, and sometimes joyful, and in other cases, tearful. This is not a self-help book, nor is it an autobiography, it is simply a book of experiences of a life well-lived. To think it is not over yet! Are there more experiences to follow? Time will tell! “Paulie, you need to write the book of your experiences. Either no one will believe them, or they will believe me when I tell them that Paul John Hausleben has lived a thousand lives.” He did so and here it is!
