Download or read book The Burn Zone written by Renee Linnell and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After seven years of faithfully following her spiritual teacher, Renee Linnell finally realized she was in a cult and had been severely brainwashed. But how did that happen to someone like her? She had graduated magna cum laude with a double degree. She had traveled to nearly fifty countries alone before she turned thirty-five. She was a surf model and a professional Argentine tango dancer. She had started five different companies and had an MBA from NYU. How could someone like her end up brainwashed and in a cult? The Burn Zone is an exploration of how we give up our power―how what started out as a need to heal from the loss of her parents and to understand the big questions in life could leave a young woman fighting for her sanity and her sense of self. In the years following her departure from the cult, Linnell struggled to reclaim herself, to stand in her truth, and to rebuild her life. And eventually, after battling depression and isolation, she found a way to come out the other side stronger than ever. Part inspirational story, part cautionary tale, this is a memoir for spiritual seekers and those who feel lost in a world that makes them feel less than perfect.
Download or read book Product Design Logbook An Inventor s Notebook written by Renee M. Dimodica and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-18 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So, you've got a great idea. By now, you have probably realized that there are many steps to take along this journey to bring your idea to market, but the most important step is getting a great product design logbook, commonly known as an "inventor's notebook." This Product Design Logbook was developed specifically for inventors who want to be more discrete in carrying around their inventor's notebook... thus we titled it, Product Design Logbook. After all, that's what inventing is all about - designing a new product, redesigning an existing product to make it better, or designing a better way to manufacture a product. This hardback edition allows inventors to remove the jacket if they wish and enjoy an attractive cloth edition without having those conspicuous words on the cover "INVENTOR'S NOTEBOOK." Because your logbook will become your constant companion, this edition provides ample space to record your ideas as well as a table of contents to record the progression of your logbook so you can easily locate projects, ideas, research, drawings, revisions, and notes. In the back of the book, you will find a section called Contacts & Addresses to record contact information for important individuals... perhaps contacts relevant to the inventions in this logbook. If this logbook will become an addition to an existing set of notebooks, you can identify the volume number on the title page along with your personal information. As a cloth edition, you can also use a silver marker to identify the volume number on the spine of the book further helping you keep organized. Lastly, you will find a section at the end of the book called Recommended Reading. Although there are many books on the market that provide invaluable information, we listed a few that we thought were noteworthy and covered a broad range of subjects. We hope the Product Design Logbook will help you organize your ideas to achieve great success with your inventions!

Book excerpt: “‘Mad Men meets The Devil Wears Prada,’ which might as well be saying ‘put me in your cart immediately.’”—PopSugar It’s 1965 and Cosmopolitan magazine’s brazen new editor in chief—Helen Gurley Brown—shocks America and saves a dying publication by daring to talk to women about all things off-limits... New York City is filled with opportunities for single girls like Alice Weiss, who leaves her small Midwestern town to chase her big-city dreams and unexpectedly lands a job working for the first female editor in chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, Helen Gurley Brown. For Alice, who wants to be a photographer, it seems like the perfect foot in the door, but nothing could have prepared her for the world she enters. Editors and writers resign on the spot, refusing to work for the woman who wrote the scandalous bestseller Sex and the Single Girl, and confidential memos, article ideas, and cover designs keep finding their way into the wrong hands. When someone tries to pull Alice into a scheme to sabotage her boss, she is more determined than ever to help Helen succeed. While pressure mounts at the magazine, Alice struggles not to lose sight of her own dreams as she’s swept up into a glamorous world of five-star dinners, lavish parties, and men who are certainly no good. Because if Helen Gurley Brown has taught her anything, it’s that a woman can demand to have it all.

Download or read book Uneasy Endings written by Renée Rose Shield and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If we continue, we grow old, and this is how it could be for us," writes Renée Rose Shield in her candid and sympathetic account of life in one American nursing home. Drawing on anthropological methods and theory to illuminate institutional life, she probes the sources of the profound sense of unease she found at the place she calls "The Franklin Nursing Home."For fourteen months Shield participated in life at a nursing home in the northeastern United States. She got to know many of the people associated with the home—doctors, nurses, custodians, kitchen workers, administrators, social workers, visiting relatives, and above all, the residents, who emerge in this book as the individuals they are. Sections in which the residents speak poignantly in their own voices are woven throughout her richly detailed observations of everyday routines and events. We see them using guile and humor to get by, struggling to approach the end of their lives with a measure of autonomy and dignity, and we meet an often conscientious and caring staff constrained by conflicting professional perspectives and by the bureaucratic structure in which they work.There are no villains here. Rather, Shield explains how conditions in the nursing home create a difficult and uncomfortable "liminality"—the transition from an accustomed role to a new one-for the residents. In characterizing nursing-home existence, she goes beyond Erving Goffman's classic definition of the "total institution" to show how residents pass from adulthood to death without the comfort of ritual or community support common in rites of passage. In addition to the isolation created by this solitary passage, she finds restrictions on "reciprocity"—the old people are always recipients whose need and obligation to repay are seen as unnecessary and difficult to satisfy. The system encourages their passivity, which deepens their dependency and helps to explain why they are often perceived as children. Offering concrete suggestions for improving the quality of nursing-home life, Uneasy Endings will find a broad audience among those who work with the aged.
