Download or read book Weird written by Olga Khazan and published by Hachette Go. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn why the concept of "weird" is being reclaimed and turned into a badge of honor, used to show how being different—culturally, socially, physically, or mentally—can be a person's greatest strength. Most of us have at some point in our lives felt like an outsider, sometimes considering ourselves "too weird" to fit in. Growing up as a Russian immigrant in West Texas, Olga Khazan always felt there was something different about her. This feeling has permeated her life, and as she embarked on a science writing career, she realized there were psychological connections between this feeling of being an outsider and both her struggles and successes later in life. She decided to reach out to other people who were unique in their environments to see if they had experienced similar feelings of alienation, and if so, to learn how they overcame them. Weird is based on in-person interviews with many of these individuals, such as a woman who is professionally surrounded by men, a liberal in a conservative area, and a Muslim in a predominantly Christian town. In addition, it provides actionable insights based on interviews with dozens of experts and a review of hundreds of scientific studies. Weird explores why it is that we crave conformity, how that affects people who are different, and what they can do about it. First, the book dives into the history of social norms and why some people hew to them more strictly than others. Next, Khazan explores the causes behind-and the consequences of-social rejection. She then reveals the hidden upsides to being "weird," as well as the strategies that people who are different might use in order to achieve success in a society that values normalcy. Finally, the book follows the trajectories of unique individuals who either decided to be among others just like them; to stay weird; or to dwell somewhere in between. Combining Khazan's own story with those of others and with fascinating takeaways from cutting-edge psychology research, Weird reveals how successful individuals learned to embrace their weirdness, using it to their advantage.

Moving is just part of the job. But this time it's different. To help Dru get control of his ability to shift, they have ended up in the middle of nowhere, U.S.A. and Dru hates it there with a passion! Until he sees her. He takes one look at her and feels a jolt of recognition. He can't explain it, but he feels like she has always been and will always be his. The attraction is instant and primal. But getting close to her could put her in danger. Is he willing to take that chance? Nothing extraordinary ever happens in Alayna West's sucky, predictable life. So, when she heads out to the first day of her senior year, she hardly expects to be approached by the hottest guy she's ever seen, much less feel drawn to him, like an imaginary cord is pulling them together. Meeting Dru has already turned her boring life upside-down, but when they are attacked by a mythical creature in the woods, Alayna learns that reality is truly stranger than fiction. Dru uses superpowers to fight the creature and things get even crazier when Alayna saves Dru's life with awakening powers of her own. Suddenly, the world around her makes no sense. Torn between her predictable life and the strange new possibilities, Alayna realizes that she must discover the truth about herself before she is ready to follow her heart. Just when Alayna thinks she's finally making sense out of the world, a dead body shows up and the police connect it back to Dru. Alayna finds herself questioning everything she has ever believed in again. But, to save herself and those she cares about, she must find the courage to do something that she would never have expected herself capable of doing. In the end, will the invisible thread that binds Dru and Alayna tear them apart - or will it become their salvation? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR LOVERS OF SCI-FI, FANTASY, PARANORMAL, AND ROMANCE. THIS ONE IS SURE TO LEAVE YOU WANTING MORE.

Download or read book An Appalling Betrayal of Trust written by Richard Lee Liddell and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-02-07 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is a saga about two young people who are inevitably drawn close together like two magnets who eventually become friends with benefits after discovering their hopes, dreams and aspirations for a promising future together are uniquely aligned with one another. The male protagonist in the novel is engaged in pursuing a monumental task of building up a lucrative, cattle enterprise like his forefathers had accomplished in Montana. He gambles and ends up taking a risk in purchasing an old, dilapidated homestead in a land, auction, estate sale which was located within the Panhandle National Forest in northern Idaho. The lovely debutante in this melodrama enters the picture as an attractive, blond maiden who is a female jockey who is assisting her father in running a horse ranch where they raise, train, breed and race thoroughbred horses at Emerald Downs near Seattle. This is the story about virtue in peril, dealing with her trials and tribulations in discovering where a girl's heart and future belongs in the tapestry of passion, hope and courage, an inexorable struggle for redemption. The need to purchase some saddle horses to assist in driving his Black Angus cattle up to the government, range pastures for summer grazing was the primary impetus for the meeting with the female debutante as the rancher desperately needed saddle horses. One lonely night sleeping alone in the comfort of her bed, she was abruptly awakened by a mysterious intruder who snuck into the bedroom and repeatedly raped her and subsequently disappeared in the darkness without leaving a trace of evidence behind him. As a result, she knew she ought to report the incident to the police and then run quickly off to the local hospital for a medical examination. Investigators would ultimately have to interview all the possible, male suspects who work or reside on both her husband's and her father's ranch during the last year. Regardless, the police would be waiting patiently to receive the DNA results before determining whether the alleged assault was perpetrated as a forcible rape or whether it was an amorous rendezvous for two consenting conspirators who planned, organized and flawlessly executed a clandestine tryst while the husband was away at a convention.
Download or read book In the Moment written by Sandra M. Bringer and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Moment presents a gritty series of short stories focusing on characters who are raw, honest, unredeemable, marginal, spiritual, and beautiful. Chronicling scenes from life made vividly authentic, all the players are genuine people we might be or know, snapshots of everyday life. Chance a moment with a stranger, and experience unexpected events. Struggle along with a family whose child will never be any better than at that moment; stay with a rape victim through the horrific aftermath of her trauma. Run for safety in a war zone, and smell the Devil's missile. Get tipsy and dance with grannies, or pine for an ex. Grieve for a life wasted behind prison bars. Does an event define a life, or does the individual define the event? Is it a combination of both, or is it something else entirely? For the short stories of In the Moment, the moment is now good or bad. That defining moment in a person's life can say volumes about his or her character. We may never know more than we do now; the next step in life's dance is conjecture, a mystery, an uncertainty but its part in the story is vital nonetheless.
