What gets you through the major stresses of marriage, such as child-rearing, work, money issues, and inlaws?

Filled with great stories, wise observations, and useful advice, 30 Lessons for Loving is destined to become another classic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Heartfelt and ever-endearing—equal parts information and inspiration. This is a book to keep by your bedside and return to often.”—Amy Dickinson, nationally syndicated advice columnist "Ask Amy" More than one thousand extraordinary Americans share their stories and the wisdom they have gained on living, loving, and finding happiness. After a chance encounter with an extraordinary ninety-year-old woman, renowned gerontologist Karl Pillemer began to wonder what older people know about life that the rest of us don't. His quest led him to interview more than one thousand Americans over the age of sixty-five to seek their counsel on all the big issues: children, marriage, money, career, aging. Their moving stories and uncompromisingly honest answers often surprised him. And he found that he consistently heard advice that pointed to these thirty lessons for living. Here he weaves their personal recollections of difficulties overcome and lives well lived into a timeless book filled with the hard-won advice these older Americans wish someone had given them when they were young. Like This I Believe, StoryCorps's Listening Is an Act of Love, and Tuesdays with Morrie, 30 Lessons for Living is a book to keep and to give. Offering clear advice toward a more fulfilling life, it is as useful as it is inspiring.
Download or read book Giving Love a Voice written by Gabriel Richards and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story narrated by the author, Gabriel Richards. Giving Love a Voice is an account of a whirlwind love affair, unbelievable financial accomplishments with monumental setbacks. The account covers catastrophic illness endured by his wife and youngest daughter. Richards spells out how an understanding of metaphysical laws helped them cope with adversities that would be considered epic in life. It is a story about how they came to learn about the true meaning of unconditional love. It shows the incredible healing power of love and why love without action is dead. This memoir tells of how the lead doctor of a medical team told Gabe to put his wife’s body in an institution and try and go on with his life. At the time she was totally paralyzed, blind, mute and assumed deaf. Richards identifies the lifestyles, attitudes, and/or the general lack of understanding that may contribute to the onset of illness and offers solutions that have worked for them. The Richards’ story is proof that with the right attitude, enough love and a faith in God, people can overcome almost any challenge. To love and to be loved are among the greatest gifts in life. In Giving Love a Voice, the stage is set for a love story that began in 1972 and continues today.

Download or read book All About Love written by bell hooks and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces. “The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb,” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society bereft with lovelessness--not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love. As bell hooks uses her incisive mind to explore the question “What is love?” her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the “100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life.” All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly her revelations can change hearts and minds for the better.
Download or read book 30 written by Natalie Roy and published by . This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Life is constantly in motion. With each birthday we celebrate, we have made a full trip around the sun. Each moment that passes, leaves us, ever so slightly, different. Every breath we take is new..." This book is a collection of stories, of modern day fables, that just happen to be true. These stories are the "highlight reel" of a well-examined life, and told from the voice of a still evolving thirty-year-old woman, who is living her life, and her dreams, one day at a time. The inspiration for this book, came from my remarkable 75 year-old grandmother Georgette, who recently honored my family by writing her memoirs. So, I thought, perhaps you are never too old, or too young, to have a story to tell. May these stories bring you laughter and tears, as you follow my journey through the tough and tangled world of growing up, falling down, finding love and losing it. A student of life, taking the road less traveled, and sometimes taking no road at all, but always, standing at the fork in the road and enjoying the view. May the heart of these stories strike a chord in your own. Much love, Natalie
