Download or read book A GRIEF OBSERVED Based on a Personal Journal written by C. S. Lewis and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-12-29 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Grief Observed is a collection of Lewis's reflections on the experience of bereavement following the death of his wife, Joy Davidman, in 1960. The book was first published under the pseudonym N.W. Clerk as Lewis wished to avoid identification as the author. Though republished in 1963 after his death under his own name, the text still refers to his wife as "H" (her first name, which she rarely used, was Helen). The book is compiled from the four notebooks which Lewis used to vent and explore his grief. He illustrates the everyday trials of his life without Joy and explores fundamental questions of faith and theodicy. Lewis's step-son (Joy's son) Douglas Gresham points out in his 1994 introduction that the indefinite article 'a' in the title makes it clear that Lewis's grief is not the quintessential grief experience at the loss of a loved one, but one individual's perspective among countless others. The book helped inspire a 1985 television movie Shadowlands, as well as a 1993 film of the same name. Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was a British novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, lay theologian and Christian apologist. He is best known for his fictional work, especially The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Activate the raw power of your subconscious to create the life you've always wanted, using six essential lessons from one of the world’s most renowned hypnotherapists. Unsatisfying careers. Volatile, unhealthy relationships. Unfulfilled dreams. Too many of us are living lives that fall short of what we truly desire. But as celebrity hypnotist Kimberly Friedmutter explains in this life-changing book, not only is it possible to design the life of your dreams, but the power to do so lies within you, in your subconscious mind. The subconscious is the root of your true power and desire; it's your inner eight-year-old, your authentic self. It is the honest compass that will lead you to a life of happiness, so long as you are able to follow its direction. We all have the power to access it—children do so effortlessly—but as we grow up we’re taught to stop daydreaming and to follow society’s rules, which makes us disconnect from our subconscious, often with tragic results. In Subconscious Power, Kimberly guides you through six principles that bring your conscious mind in line with your subconscious desires. She shares practical, three-minute exercises that will help you transform your relationships, find true love, lose weight after years of struggling with the scale, overcome addictions, and achieve new career successes and heights. Featuring inspiring success stories and the practical tools you need to make meaningful change, Subconscious Power will empower you to stop being a passive participant in a life you don't love, and to actively choose the life you truly desire.

Book excerpt: This fully annotated volume collects three of Baum's fourteen Oz novels in which he developed his utopian vision and which garnered an immense and loyal following. The Wizard of Oz (1900) introduces Dorothy, who arrives from Kansas and meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, and a host of other characters. The Emerald City of Oz (1910) finds Dorothy, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry coming to Oz just as the wicked Nome King is plotting to conquer its people. In Baum's final novel, Glinda of Oz (1920), Dorothy and Princess Ozma try to prevent a battle between the Skeezers and the Flatheads. Tapping into a deeply rooted desire in himself and his loyal readers to live in a peaceful country which values the sharing of talents and gifts, Baum's imaginative creation, like all great utopian literature, holds out the possibility for change. Also included is a selection of the original illustrations by W. W. Denslow and John R. Neill.

Download or read book Fantasy Premier League Taking A Hit written by Paul Rogers and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise For Taking A Hit: The Key To Success "Within the wonderful game of FPL, there are hundreds of micro decisions that must be made on a weekly basis. The difference between a top 100k finish and a top 1k finish can be one, singular transfer at the start of the season, that catalyses a series of changes resulting in FPL glory or FPL failure. As a result, if we can improve our decision-making by just 1%, it can have a remarkable impact on our season. "One can imagine, therefore, that this comprehensive, insightful exploration of one of the most important elements of the game - transfers and hits - could have the ability to catapult you up the rankings and make you the king or queen of your mini-league. To write a book, in and of itself, is an incredible achievement. However, due to the amount of work it takes, authors can be tempted to cut corners. This book? Well this book does no such thing! "From philosophical discussions of transfer strategies and management types, to real world research and surveys, to asking some of the best managers in the world for their insights, this book is without a doubt the most comprehensive discussion of transfers that you will ever read, and I truly think it will transform the way you play FPL." Ross Dowsett Author of The Mind Game YouTube (FPL Raptor) "Taking hits is one of the most topical areas of FPL and after a sneak peak, I look forward to reading more of Paul's book. We spend hours deliberating on our weekly transfers and this book should make our decision-making process just that little bit easier." Gianni Buttice Official Fantasy Premier League Show Panelist Author of Premier Fantasy League: Unlocking The Secrets To A Top 1% Finish "As someone who takes FPL (probably a little too) seriously and who likes to (over?) analyse their performance in search of scope for improvement, I tend to value objective information - especially when this is gathered from some of the very best players in the game. I'll admit that taking hits is an area of my game I have spent less time looking at than others. As I started to look at the way rank changes work in FPL, I quickly concluded that taking too many hits could potentially have a negative impact on rank so I became quite conservative in that respect, only taking a hit when absolutely necessary. However, I wonder if I could be missing an opportunity to make significant gains by using hits more proactively? Paul's book offers us the opportunity to learn and understand the strategies used by top FPL managers in relation to taking hits and, if you're anything like me, I'm sure that you will find the prospect of that intriguing and impossible to resist..." Alex Pickard (FPL Dork @DorkFpl) 2020/21: 350th "While some strategies of Fantasy Premier League are widely accepted in the FPL community, the concept of hits is divisive and can perhaps be a barrier for some fantasy veterans (myself included) to reach the upper echelons of the overall rankings in a single season. This book is a fascinating read for fantasy managers old and new, as Paul delves into the data of 2020/21 to find out when hits are beneficial and how getting it right can propel you up the leaderboard. There's plenty of great takeaways I'll be trying to implement into my own fantasy approach going forward to give myself an edge. Don't miss out!" Holly Shand Official Fantasy Premier League Show Panelist Writer for The Athletic

Download or read book Ordinary Girls written by Jaquira Díaz and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the Must-Read Books of 2019 According to O: The Oprah Magazine * Time * Bustle * Electric Literature * Publishers Weekly * The Millions * The Week * Good Housekeeping “There is more life packed on each page of Ordinary Girls than some lives hold in a lifetime.” —Julia Alvarez In this searing memoir, Jaquira Díaz writes fiercely and eloquently of her challenging girlhood and triumphant coming of age. While growing up in housing projects in Puerto Rico and Miami Beach, Díaz found herself caught between extremes. As her family split apart and her mother battled schizophrenia, she was supported by the love of her friends. As she longed for a family and home, her life was upended by violence. As she celebrated her Puerto Rican culture, she couldn’t find support for her burgeoning sexual identity. From her own struggles with depression and sexual assault to Puerto Rico’s history of colonialism, every page of Ordinary Girls vibrates with music and lyricism. Díaz writes with raw and refreshing honesty, triumphantly mapping a way out of despair toward love and hope to become her version of the girl she always wanted to be. Reminiscent of Tara Westover’s Educated, Kiese Laymon’s Heavy, Mary Karr’s The Liars’ Club, and Terese Marie Mailhot’s Heart Berries, Jaquira Díaz’s memoir provides a vivid portrait of a life lived in (and beyond) the borders of Puerto Rico and its complicated history—and reads as electrically as a novel.

Download or read book Managing Quality Fads written by Robert E. Cole and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-02-04 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can managers learn from fads? That is the question Robert Cole addresses in this insightful book about the various factors supporting and inhibiting organizational learning. A longtime student of the Japanese and American quality movements, Cole focuses on the response of American industry to the challenge posed in the early 1980s by high quality goods from Japan. While most American managers view this challenge as slowly but successfully met, many academics see the quality movement that emerged from it as just another fad. In seeking to reconcile these two views, Cole explores the reasons behind American industry's slow response to Japanese quality, arguing that a variety of institutional factors inhibited management action in the early 1980s. He then describes the reshaping of institutions that allowed American companies to close the quality gap and to achieve sustained quality improvements in the 1990s. Hewlett-Packard serves as an example of a company that made this institutional transition more effectively than most. Cole describes Hewlett-Packard's successful strategies while also pointing out the serious problems that it and other companies face as they attempt to adapt, improve, and go beyond Japanese practices. He also uses Hewlett-Packard, an exemplar of the highly decentralized company, to explore effective strategies for the creation, dissemination, and implementation of knowledge. Unprecedented as a scholarly treatment of the quality movement,Managing Quality Fads provides several important lessons for those interested in management decision making under conditions of uncertainty and organizational transformation in a rapidly changing business environment.
