Book excerpt: Is the glass half-empty or half-full? This book takes an expanded look at the proverbial question and challenges the traditional approach that the answer must be one or the other. In thinking that the glass is half-empty, we accept the pessimistic perspective that there isn’t enough “stuff,” that maybe this is all there is. This is a disempowering way to look at life and creates a vicious cycle of limiting beliefs of doubt, worry, disappointment, and fear. Conversely, if we look at the glass as half-full, we take an optimistic perspective that we've got something good going, life is grand. Yet, there is that lingering sense that something may still be missing. What is presented in this book is something different. How about looking at the glass as always full? In Full Glass Living, the author shares her life journey through emotional sensitivity and a mood disorder to adopt an enlightened perception of both the water and space being vitally important to sustain life. Full Glass Living: 28 Days to Dump Limiting Beliefs is about how we can use tools to influence and empower ourselves. The thing is we don’t do it all alone.

Download or read book Glass Half Empty Glass Half Full written by Chris Mitchell and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2005-07-21 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `Chris Mitchell was 20 when he was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. Both his academic success and the horrendous bullying he suffered highlight the mixed blessings of mainstream education for a child with Asperger syndrome. While his eventual success is heartwarming, from today′s understanding of Asperger, the ignorance and hostility Mitchell faced throughout his early life are shocking′ - TES Extra for Special Needs ′This autobiographical account of a young man′s discovery that Asperger′s syndrome could explain his early problems and provide light at the end of the tunnel, is both insightful and inspiring. Parents of children with Asperger′s syndrome and also older "aspies" will profit from Chris′s hard won experience′ - Dyslexia Contact ′[This] is a straightforward read, full of concrete examples of how Asperger′s syndrome affects the individual but at the same time acknowledging that every individual is different. Having experienced first-hand the vulnerability of the adolescent with Asperger′s syndrome, desperate to make connections with those around him but constantly being knocked back, I was delighted to read about the friendships [Chris Mitchell] eventually establishes when he takes the brave decision to make contacts through the web and sets out on his travels. I would particularly recommend this book to those with little knowledge of Asperger′s syndrome, especially for anyone involved in helping those with a diagnosis of Asperger′s syndrome through further education′ - British Journal of Special Education `This book is a ′must-read′ for any parents of children with Aspergers syndrome and also older aspies themselves. They will be able to relate to the slightly quirky writing style and profit from Chris′s hard won experience. These children are so individualistic and often isolated from like minds, so the book will provide some solace that there are other people like them′ - Judith Stansfield, Chair North Richmondshire Community Partnership SEN ICT Consultant NASEN ICT Group BDACC Reviews and Literature Editor `This book shows how one individual with very severe handicaps due to Asperger′s Syndrome won through in the end and achieved despite such a poor beginning. This is a book which should be read by anyone who has been diagnosed with Asperger′s Syndrome or feels he or she might have this condition′ - Dr L F Lowenstein, National Association Gifted Children Newsletter ′This is an unusual book in that it is written by a man where most autobiographical books about autism are written by women. It is both very readable and well-written, with a detached an honest account of his childhood, family life and life prior to diagnosis. He gets on well with his family, and they are happy that he has written this book, and happy with the book, despite some implied criticism of how they brought him up. Indeed, it comes across as less aggressive than some accounts, so it is particularly insightful for parents and other empathotypicals who might find more black-and-white descriptions of their mistakes hurtful. As with every book written by someone on the spectrum that I have seen, it is a short book, giving a snapshot of his difficulties and joys before and also after his diagnosis, giving highlights of specific problems and pleasures. Overall I think it would be a good book for someone who recognises himself in the author, or as a starting point for deepening your understanding of your brother, son or friend, or, if you are already interested in this condition, to broaden your understanding of the ways that it present itself′ - Asperger United ′[A]n especially uplifting read for a young person or adult newly diagnosed with Asperger′s Syndrom. It also would help those unfamiliar with Asperger′s Syndrome to understand the condition much better′ - REACH This gripping and at times astonishing story will be inspirational to all adults either facing Asperger′s Syndrome personally or interacting with someone who has been diagnosed. In his own imitable style, Chris Mitchell describes his life before and after diagnosis with Asperger′s Syndrome. We follow Chris through primary and secondary school, where his lack of social interaction and anger continually land him in trouble, and where he is bullied for being different. Only his excellent memory and specialist interests enable him to continue, and pass his GCSEs and a GNVQ in Media Studies. At university he is diagnosed with Asperger′s Syndrome. Suddenly his life makes more sense, and his self-awareness means his self-confidence returns, resulting in world travel, a Masters qualification in Information and Library Management and finally, acceptance. Chris Mitchell is a Records Assistant at Durham County Record Office, and also does public speaking on the subject of Asperger′s Syndrome.

This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Ars Technica Holiday Reading Title of 2021 A lively and approachable meditation on how we can transform our digital lives if we let a little Nietzsche in. Who has not found themselves scrolling endlessly on screens and wondered: Am I living or distracting myself from living? In Emergency, Break Glass adapts Friedrich Nietzsche’s passionate quest for meaning into a world overwhelmed by “content.” Written long before the advent of smartphones, Nietzsche’s aphoristic philosophy advocated a fierce mastery of attention, a strict information diet, and a powerful connection to the natural world. Drawing on Nietzsche’s work, technology journalist Nate Anderson advocates for a life of goal-oriented, creative exertion as more meaningful than the “frictionless” leisure often promised by our devices. He rejects the simplicity of contemporary prescriptions like reducing screen time in favor of looking deeply at what truly matters to us, then finding ways to make our technological tools serve this vision. With a light touch suffused by humor, Anderson uncovers the impact of this “yes-saying” philosophy on his own life—and perhaps on yours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller An NPR Best Book of the Year Winner of the Chicago Tribune Literary Award Finalist for the Marfield Prize, National Award for Arts Writing "Reads the way Mr. Glass's compositions sound at their best: propulsive, with a surreptitious emotional undertow." —Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, New York Times Philip Glass has, almost single-handedly, crafted the dominant sound of late-twentieth-century classical music. Yet in Words Without Music, his critically acclaimed memoir, he creates an entirely new and unexpected voice, that of a born storyteller and an acutely insightful chronicler, whose behind-the-scenes recollections allow readers to experience those moments of creative fusion when life so magically merged with art. From his childhood in Baltimore to his student days in Chicago and at Juilliard, to his first journey to Paris and a life-changing trip to India, Glass movingly recalls his early mentors, while reconstructing the places that helped shape his creative consciousness. Whether describing working as an unlicensed plumber in gritty 1970s New York or composing Satyagraha, Glass breaks across genres and re-creates, here in words, the thrill that results from artistic creation. Words Without Music ultimately affirms the power of music to change the world.
