Download or read book The Ministry of Nostalgia written by Owen Hatherley and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this brilliant polemical rampage, Owen Hatherley shows how our past is being resold in order to defend the indefensible. From the marketing of a "make do and mend" aesthetic to the growing nostalgia for a utopian past that never existed, a cultural distraction scam prevents people grasping the truth of their condition. The Ministry of Nostalgia explodes the creation of a false history: a rewriting of the austerity of the 1940s and 1950s, which saw the development of a welfare state while the nation crawled out of the devastations of war. This period has been recast to explain and offer consolation for the violence of neoliberalism, an ideology dedicated to the privatisation of our common wealth. In coruscating prose-with subjects ranging from Ken Loach's documentaries, Turner Prize-shortlisted video art, London vernacular architecture, and Jamie Oliver's cooking-Hatherley issues a passionate challenge to the injunction to keep calm and carry on.

I changed my habits and my mindset and I overcame it.The reason Im saying this, is that I'm nobody special. I just wanted to get rid of the bad stuff in my life, so I kept trying. And eventually I started to believe in myself.Im still growing, Im still healing (those two words mean the same thing to me) and I always will be.I push myself to achieve more success and to achieve more love, peace and connection.If I can do it, so can anybody.

I was scared of leaving the house, deeply unhappy in social situations, having daily panic attacks, self-medicating with alcohol and drugs and having regular thoughts of suicide.I have spent the last 15 years+ working on ways to reduce my stress, remove my personal limiting beliefs, improve my health, deal with challenges and focus on being the best version of me, I can be. Im practising. A work in progress too. Im still growing, I still have personal growth challenges to overcome. But I have managed to let go of the control those things once had over me. Not only do I live in Joy and Happiness every day, but I now help people to face the challenges of the modern world, reduce stress and increase happiness in their lives too.I have found with my own journey that we don't necessarily need to learn new stuff. We already have everything we need to be happy and stress free, within us. It is, however, often covered up by our conditioning, repressed emotions and past life experiences.We often have to unlearn and find that place of deeper guidance.This book is about incorporating empowering habits and becoming aware of the roadblocks that are causing our unhappiness and anxiety and reducing their control allowing us to live, more and more in peace, joy and happiness. I dont have your answers, you have all the answers you need. Ill just help you to find them.With loveDavid FurnevallJoyHappiness xx

Download or read book The New Designer written by Manuel Lima and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-08-08 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to develop an ethical design practice and build a better world. The choices made by designers have a significant effect on the world. Yet so much of the discourse on design focuses on aesthetics rather than ethics. In The New Designer, acclaimed author Manuel Lima aims to change this by challenging common myths and preconceptions about what comprises good design. He argues that designers must take responsibility for the personal, societal, cultural, and environmental impact of their work, rather than simply following a standard template. As he covers fields ranging from graphic design to industrial design to user-experience design, Lima identifies the major steps that designers must take to be a force for good in the world. Rather than sticking to outmoded ideas about perfectionism and individual genius, designers must work together to tackle some of the most challenging questions of the twenty-first century. How do you make room for humanity, with all its wondrous variations, in a society increasingly driven by metrics, algorithms, and profit? How can ecologically responsible designers consider a product’s entire life cycle and look well into the future? And how can designers better respond to a community’s local needs while taking advantage of global networks? Blending approaches derived from ethics, psychology, economics, and ecology, The New Designer is a vital, field-changing treatise that will appeal to any reader who seeks to understand design’s massive influence on the contemporary world.
