Download or read book My Grandmother s Hands written by Resmaa Menakem and published by Central Recovery Press. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NATIONAL BESTSELLER "My Grandmother's Hands will change the direction of the movement for racial justice."— Robin DiAngelo, New York Times bestselling author of White Fragility In this groundbreaking book, therapist Resmaa Menakem examines the damage caused by racism in America from the perspective of trauma and body-centered psychology. The body is where our instincts reside and where we fight, flee, or freeze, and it endures the trauma inflicted by the ills that plague society. Menakem argues this destruction will continue until Americans learn to heal the generational anguish of white supremacy, which is deeply embedded in all our bodies. Our collective agony doesn't just affect African Americans. White Americans suffer their own secondary trauma as well. So do blue Americans—our police. My Grandmother's Hands is a call to action for all of us to recognize that racism is not only about the head, but about the body, and introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched racialized divide. Paves the way for a new, body-centered understanding of white supremacy—how it is literally in our blood and our nervous system. Offers a step-by-step healing process based on the latest neuroscience and somatic healing methods, in addition to incisive social commentary. Resmaa Menakem, MSW, LICSW, is a therapist with decades of experience currently in private practice in Minneapolis, MN, specializing in trauma, body-centered psychotherapy, and violence prevention. He has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and Dr. Phil as an expert on conflict and violence. Menakem has studied with bestselling authors Dr. David Schnarch (Passionate Marriage) and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk (The Body Keeps the Score). He also trained at Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute.
Download or read book Passing the Time written by Zachary Chastain and published by . This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a six-day workweek, long hours on the job, and the hard labor required to keep house, leisure time was precious in the 1800s. Without recorded music, radio, movies, TV, video games, or the Internet, Americans had to make their own fun, and most of it was simple and very low tech-singing around the family piano, visiting with neighbors, or picnicking in the woods. In the bigger towns and cities, theaters offered live, professional entertainment ranging from classic plays to raucous minstrel shows. In the smaller towns and rural areas, people waited anxiously for those few times a year when a traveling show or circus might come through the area. As the 1800s progressed, leisure time and economic resources increased for many Americans and a more sophisticated public demanded new and more exciting amusements. Read all about America at play in the 1800s! Book jacket.

Download or read book Ladies First written by Queen Latifah and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queen Latifah is a sensation. At nineteen she was the first female solo rapper to have a major record deal. Four years later she became a top television actress and movie star. Today she is rap music's most enduring female force. But how did a teenager from New Jersey become Queen Latifah and make it to the top of the charts? At once autobiographical and inspirational, LADIES FIRST is the story of a young woman making tough decisions and terrible mistakes - about sex and drugs and about who was real and who wasn't - before she was old enough to drive. It is about the reign of depression that descended on her after her brother's tragic death and how she found a strength within herself when it seemed the world was trying to break her. LADIES FIRST is about being confident and sensual in a big, strong body and about blocking out the junk to let in the good. It is about how anyone - of the poorest means or the richest - can hold her head high in a world of attitude. Full of wisdom and revelations, LADIES FIRST will instill in others the same self-esteem, respect and courage that brought Queen Latifah peace and her independent edge.

Download or read book God s True Law written by Garrett Soldano and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raising children is the most important responsibility we have. Are you doing all you can to be the best parent possible? Dr. Garrett Soldano has spent his entire adult life applying the Universal Laws to athletics and entrepreneurship. He now applies these same laws to successful parenting. Turning his efforts to creating a simple yet easy to understand guide for parents, he has outlined a clear path for setting a solid foundation of values for children. How many times do we see children follow their parents down the same road toward self-destruction falling prey to behaviors like alcoholism, drug abuse, eating disorders, self-esteem issues, relationship social difficulties or financial problems? Our children are a product of their environment. Therefore, as parents we must be a positive influence--not only in how we react to situations and events but also by monitoring ourselves constantly in everything that we do and don't do. With the wealth of knowledge available today there is no excuse to sit back and not take action against the debacle we are witnessing with our youth. In God's True Law, Dr. Garrett Soldano describes the definite science to being a successful parent. It is built upon a foundation of his life experiences growing up in poverty. The story begins with his two very young parents, completely raw in their skills, living in a trailer park and struggling to make ends meet, who still succeeded in pulling themselves up while providing their sons with all the prerequisites to move forward in life. Based on his experiences and observations, Dr. Soldano began to study, formalize, and apply the lessons of Universal Laws to parenting. The teachings in this revolutionary book, if applied correctly, will make sure parents' aspirations take root, legacies grow and family trees flourish for generations to come.
