Book excerpt: At 21, Nicole has struggled with bulimia for six years. Desperate to overcome her addiction, or so she thinks, she seeks out Jake, a therapist, for help. She quickly learns her relationship with B- the persona created to embody this "thing" she fights with constantly - involves more than she anticipated. Yet, life doesn't wait for Nicole to overcome her problems and simultaneously bombards her with the stress of an end-of-year Christmas party, everyday eating worries, and a family vacation to London jeopardizing her grade in a class with an unforgiving professor. Suddenly, Nicole find her world flipped upside down...or maybe just temporarily sideways and backwards...and consumed by friends, family, school, therapy, and the ever-present, sometimes ironic, occasionally funny but usually just annoying voice of B inside her head. The question becomes, can she finally live without him? Nicole's story is a supportive, honest, reflective, and occasionally humorous look at what it takes to overcome an eating disorder.

Download or read book Living with Difference written by Adam B. Seligman and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether looking at divided cities or working with populations on the margins of society, a growing number of engaged academics have reached out to communities around the world to address the practical problems of living with difference. This book explores the challenges and necessities of accommodating difference, however difficult and uncomfortable such accommodation may be. Drawing on fourteen years of theoretical insights and unique pedagogy, CEDAR—Communities Engaging with Difference and Religion—has worked internationally with community leaders, activists, and other partners to take the insights of anthropology out of the classroom and into the world. Rather than addressing conflict by emphasizing what is shared, Living with Difference argues for the centrality of difference in creating community, seeking ways not to overcome or deny differences but to live with and within them in a self-reflective space and practice. This volume also includes a manual for organizers to implement CEDAR’s strategies in their own communities.

Download or read book Option B written by Sheryl Sandberg and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From authors of Lean In and Originals: a powerful, inspiring, and practical book about building resilience and moving forward after life’s inevitable setbacks After the sudden death of her husband, Sheryl Sandberg felt certain that she and her children would never feel pure joy again. “I was in ‘the void,’” she writes, “a vast emptiness that fills your heart and lungs and restricts your ability to think or even breathe.” Her friend Adam Grant, a psychologist at Wharton, told her there are concrete steps people can take to recover and rebound from life-shattering experiences. We are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It is a muscle that everyone can build. Option B combines Sheryl’s personal insights with Adam’s eye-opening research on finding strength in the face of adversity. Beginning with the gut-wrenching moment when she finds her husband, Dave Goldberg, collapsed on a gym floor, Sheryl opens up her heart—and her journal—to describe the acute grief and isolation she felt in the wake of his death. But Option B goes beyond Sheryl’s loss to explore how a broad range of people have overcome hardships including illness, job loss, sexual assault, natural disasters, and the violence of war. Their stories reveal the capacity of the human spirit to persevere . . . and to rediscover joy. Resilience comes from deep within us and from support outside us. Even after the most devastating events, it is possible to grow by finding deeper meaning and gaining greater appreciation in our lives. Option B illuminates how to help others in crisis, develop compassion for ourselves, raise strong children, and create resilient families, communities, and workplaces. Many of these lessons can be applied to everyday struggles, allowing us to brave whatever lies ahead. Two weeks after losing her husband, Sheryl was preparing for a father-child activity. “I want Dave,” she cried. Her friend replied, “Option A is not available,” and then promised to help her make the most of Option B. We all live some form of Option B. This book will help us all make the most of it.

Download or read book Living the Life Unexpected written by Jody Day and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The book to recommend to patients when they face coming to terms with unavoidable childlessness.' – British Medical Journal In Living the Life Unexpected, Jody Day addresses the experience of involuntary childlessness and provides a powerful, practical guide to help those negotiating a future without children come to terms with their grief; a grief that is only just beginning to be recognized by society. This friendly, practical, humorous and honest guide from one of the world’s most respected names in childless support offers compassion and understanding and shows how it’s possible to move towards a creative, happy, meaningful and fulfilling future – even if it’s not the one you had planned. Millions of people are now living a life without children, almost double that of a generation ago and the numbers are rising still. Although some are childfree by choice, many others are childless due to infertility or circumstance and are struggling to come to terms with their uncertain future. Although most people think that those without children either 'couldn't' or 'didn't want’ to be parents, the truth is much more complex. Jody Day was forty-four when she realized that her quest to be a mother was at an end. She presumed that she was through the toughest part, but over the next couple of years she was hit by waves of grief, despair and isolation. Eventually she found her way and in 2011 created Gateway Women, the global friendship and support network for childless women which has now helped almost two million people worldwide. This edition, previously titled Rocking the Life Unexpected, has been extensively revised and updated, with significant additional content and case studies from forty involuntarily childless people (mostly women) from around the world.

Download or read book Children Living in Temporary Shelters written by Alice M. Epps and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998. The problem of homelessness is increasing nationally in volume, variety, and visibility, with the subpopulation of homeless families with children growing the fastest. An unstable living environment places these families, especially the children at risk, of accomplishing positive, adaptive socialization. In addition, the provision of supportive services to these children, impose an excessive economic burden on the public. The paucity of information and research concerning what homelessness means for children who are members of these families, are reasons for undertaking this work. The book provides a survey research model to collect and analyze information, about what the circumstances of homelessness means from the perspective of children sheltered with homeless families.

Download or read book Living the Next Level written by B. Courtney McBath and published by Howard Books. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this guide to welcoming God into your life right where you are, senior founding pastor of Calvary Revival Church in Norfolk, Virginia, B. Courtney McBath, urges readers to reevaluate their goals while working towards a friendship-based relationship with God in order to experience the maximum fulfillment of faith. It is no secret that we easily embrace the common misconception that we must always strive to reach the elusive “next level” of life. No matter how hard we try, what we long for—in our homes, relationships, careers, and even spiritual lives—constantly seems just beyond reach. Living @ the Next Level turns the common view of fulfillment inside out by showing readers that creating a friendship with God is the next level. As God’s friends, we’ve already arrived, and every moment we spend straining to “get there” is a missed opportunity to explore God more fully and connect with him more deeply. The pages of this book offer an alternative to living in frustration and despair by learning to experience the richness of God’s friendship right where you are. Following the apostle Peter along a dramatic stretch of Peter’s journey, B. Courtney McBath unpacks scriptural principles and truths that illuminate God’s ability to transform the circumstances we face and make our limitations work for our good.
