Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Workbook Is To Be Used as a Companion Piece with the Book, Same Sh*t. Different Date. Use this book and the exercises in it to get clarity, journal and discover some life-changing distinctions. This book is for you if you want to learn how to finally heal what's holding you back & get the love you so richly deserve.If you're going to keep getting the same old lessons, you may as well learn from them. You may have heard the old saying, "same sh*t, different day." It's kind of a darkly comic suggestion that the more things change, the more they stay the same as old, monotonous patterns repeat themselves again and again.In this book by a similar title, relationship coach and expert, Dave Elliott, makes it clear that the exact same process is also happening and creating difficulties in your dating and love life. The result is "Same Shit. Different Date." As he points out, it's not a coincidence when the same old buttons keep getting pushed by all new people. It's not "luck of the draw" when lovers turn to critics. It is not happenstance when you keep attracting the same old issues like partners who are unavailable or who cheat. While it may be cruel, it's no twist of fate either when totally different people - who seemed nice in the beginning - turn into harsh critics who shame, abuse and belittle.Even if you're married or in an exclusive relationship, this book will show you how all those random arguments that seemingly have nothing in common aren't so random after all. In fact, they're directly related and 100% predictable. Not to mention, 100% healable.Once you make this connection and recognize how it's affected you in the past, you can begin to change your future. In fact, with your new awareness - and the tools shared within - those hidden saboteurs that continue to trip you up time after time will soon come into view.The good news for you is that once you discover the invisible ties that bind your past and present upsets and heartbreaks, new possibilities are created in a moment. That's because once your secret saboteurs have been revealed, they can begin to be healed.
Download or read book The Companion for Women Mediating Armed Conflict in Communities written by Alice Nderitu and published by Mdahalo Bridging Divides. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is very difficult for a woman mediator to lead communities to the point of signing a peace agreement. It is even more difficult to implement it. Being a woman mediator of armed conflict is one of the loneliest jobs in the world. As Jacqueline O'Neill cites in the Foreword of this book, women comprise only 2% of mediators of armed conflict in the world. Therefore, women mediators of such conflicts can rarely benefit from sounding boards and peers with whom to share their day-to-day experiences. This Companion is primarily for women, but it is relevant across genders. The spoken and written word is a powerful medium for conveying the messages women use in peace processes, and it is important that positive images are conveyed to all genders. This Companion is designed to help people of all genders who are participating in a peace process. If women mediators of armed conflict can learn to detect gender and other forms of discrimination in the dialogues that they lead or are engaged in, they will then be in a position to transfer that knowledge to all genders in their communities, and ultimately apply it into their everyday lives. Likewise, The Companion provides the language to use in discussing gender discrimination within a peace process, and also a way to interact among the dialogue participants when issues of gender discrimination occur.

Key dimensions of his writing and life are explored in essays focusing on his relationship to popular writing, the issue of gender and sexuality in his fiction and his aesthetics. The introduction provides a brief, unified account of the man, for whom his art was only one activity among many.

Altogether the volume provides an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike.

Download or read book Waging Peace in Vietnam written by Ron Carver and published by New Village Press. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How American soldiers opposed and resisted the war in Vietnam While mainstream narratives of the Vietnam War all but marginalize anti-war activity of soldiers, opposition and resistance from within the three branches of the military made a real difference to the course of America’s engagement in Vietnam. By 1968, every major peace march in the United States was led by active duty GIs and Vietnam War veterans. By 1970, thousands of active duty soldiers and marines were marching in protest in US cities. Hundreds of soldiers and marines in Vietnam were refusing to fight; tens of thousands were deserting to Canada, France and Sweden. Eventually the US Armed Forces were no longer able to sustain large-scale offensive operations and ceased to be effective. Yet this history is largely unknown and has been glossed over in much of the written and visual remembrances produced in recent years. Waging Peace in Vietnam shows how the GI movement unfolded, from the numerous anti-war coffee houses springing up outside military bases, to the hundreds of GI newspapers giving an independent voice to active soldiers, to the stockade revolts and the strikes and near-mutinies on naval vessels and in the air force. The book presents first-hand accounts, oral histories, and a wealth of underground newspapers, posters, flyers, and photographs documenting the actions of GIs and veterans who took part in the resistance. In addition, the book features fourteen original essays by leading scholars and activists. Notable contributors include Vietnam War scholar and author, Christian Appy, and Mme Nguyen Thi Binh, who played a major role in the Paris Peace Accord. The book originates from the exhibition Waging Peace, which has been shown in Vietnam and the University of Notre Dame, and will be touring the eastern United States in conjunction with book launches in Boston, Amherst, and New York.

Download or read book Muhammad written by Juan Cole and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the midst of the dramatic seventh-century war between two empires, Muhammad was a spiritual seeker in search of community and sanctuary. Many observers stereotype Islam and its scripture as inherently extreme or violent-a narrative that has overshadowed the truth of its roots. In this masterfully told account, preeminent Middle East expert Juan Cole takes us back to Islam's-and the Prophet Muhammad's-origin story. Cole shows how Muhammad came of age in an era of unparalleled violence. The eastern Roman Empire and the Sasanian Empire of Iran fought savagely throughout the Near East and Asia Minor. Muhammad's profound distress at the carnage of his times led him to envision an alternative movement, one firmly grounded in peace. The religion Muhammad founded, Islam, spread widely during his lifetime, relying on soft power instead of military might, and sought armistices even when militarily attacked. Cole sheds light on this forgotten history, reminding us that in the Qur'an, the legacy of that spiritual message endures. A vibrant history that brings to life the fascinating and complex world of the Prophet, Muhammad is the story of how peace is the rule and not the exception for one of the world's most practiced religions.
