Download or read book Parents Under the Influence written by Cécile David-Weill and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part American and part French, part memoir and part guide, this book offers a fresh, unique, and powerful perspective on the challenges of parenting and how to find a rewarding path forward for parents and children alike. How should we raise our children? It should be a simple enough question to answer but in fact it is an intimidating and complex one. We often address it by deciding to do either exactly what our parents did or just the opposite. After that we rely on a cocktail of love and instinct, hoping it will be enough to overcome the difficulties ahead. Far from having perfect free will, however, we are all under the influence. The child still within us confuses, influences, or undermines all our aspirations as parents and prevents us from sticking to the philosophy we initially hoped to follow. These unresolved emotions drive us to reproduce the upbringing we received, including the behaviors that have hurt us the most. In Parents Under the Influence, Cécile David-Weill draws on her own parenting blunders and successes as well as concrete examples, case studies, and works of fiction to guide readers, helping them heal from the past and become effective, nurturing parents.

Download or read book All That You Leave Behind written by Erin Lee Carr and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A documentary filmmaker and daughter of the late, great New York Times columnist David Carr celebrates and wrestles with her father’s legacy in a raw, redemptive memoir.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “A breathtaking read . . . a testimony equal parts love and candor. David would have had it no other way.”—Ta-Nehisi Coates, bestselling author of Between the World and Me NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY GLAMOUR AND MARIE CLAIRE Dad: What will set you apart is not talent but will and a certain kind of humility. A willingness to let the world show you things that you play back as you grow as an artist. Talent is cheap. Me: OK I will ponder these things. I am a Carr. Dad: That should matter quite a bit, actually not the name but the guts of what that name means. A celebrated journalist, bestselling author (The Night of the Gun), and recovering addict, David Carr was in the prime of his career when he suffered a fatal collapse in the newsroom of The New York Times in 2015. Shattered by his death, his daughter Erin Lee Carr, at age twenty-seven an up-and-coming documentary filmmaker, began combing through the entirety of their shared correspondence—1,936 items in total—in search of comfort and support. What started as an exercise in grief quickly grew into an active investigation: Did her father’s writings contain the answers to the question of how to move forward in life and work without her biggest champion by her side? How could she fill the space left behind by a man who had come to embody journalistic integrity, rigor, and hard reporting, whose mentorship meant everything not just to her but to the many who served alongside him? All That You Leave Behind is a poignant coming-of-age story that offers a raw and honest glimpse into the multilayered relationship between a daughter and a father. Through this lens, Erin comes to understand her own workplace missteps, existential crises, and relationship fails. While daughter and father bond over their mutual addictions and challenges with sobriety, it is their powerful sense of work and family that comes to ultimately define them. This unique combination of Erin Lee Carr’s earnest prose and her father’s meaningful words offers a compelling read that shows us what it means to be vulnerable and lost, supported and found. It is a window into love, with all of its fierceness and frustrations. “Thank you, Erin, for this beautiful book. Now I am going to steal all of your father’s remarkable advice and tell my kids I thought of it.”—Judd Apatow

Download or read book THE FATHER PRINCIPLE written by GINGER GRANCAGNOLO Ed. D. and published by Author House. This book was released on 2004-04-22 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever noticed a certain something inside as you’ve casually said, “This is my father,” “Wait til you meet my father,” “Not my Dad” “He/She reminds me of my father”? If you were to freeze frame those common moments, maybe you would hear your inner dialogue and notice a flash of feelings that you thought you didn’t have or that you finally remembered. These moments can be so subtle, quiet and brief, yet their effects can profoundly linger. These moments can transport you back in time as if you stepped into your childhood while looking at a family photo. Sometimes this shift can be an oasis for the heart and a clearing for the mind. And of course, an ordinary dad flashback can rip through your soul like an attacker’s knife. The point to be made here is not whether your father tales are pleasant or painful, but rather that they remained, influenced, and shaped you. An even deeper point is that there is a father Principle in everyone that is certain as the energy of Dad’s DNA, and that it was meant to teach you, stir you and empower you regardless of the quality of the relationship you and your father you and your father had – if you know how to feel it, use it and know it’s real truth. This book is about releasing the hidden jewels your father relationship meant for you to inherit, and to give you a new choice about whom you can be. Having been enriched by an innovative understanding about Dad’s genes, habits, and your relationship with him, you can become father to your-self; able to re-create you into the highest version of your highest vision through everyday circumstances. The interesting phenomenon about this seemingly impossible miracle is that your biological father and/father – figures do not have to be aware of their influence in order for you to tap into the buried treasures all dads inherently give us. The reason for this is the care of this work. It is called the Father Principle. The Father Principle is an energetic blueprint, embedded in the inner consciousness in everyone. It is a major archetype. An archetype is like a code or a bionic “chip” that holds pure facts. The Father Principle “chip” carries every detail pertinent to the father universal law of energy. This law gives guidelines about the power to go out into the world successfully, to be somebody and do something that may leave a signature of goodness in your name. All of us are already “coded” to potentially to know this. The relationship with biological fathers and father-figures “triggers” this potential and for better or worse, Dad strikes the chip. What happens after that is up to each individual choice. Good or bad memories, forgotten or blocked, this book invites you to take a remarkable journey; to perhaps laugh or cry, but mostly to rebuild and get into the world more powerfully certain of your-SELF than every before.

Download or read book Dreams from My Father written by Barack Obama and published by Crown. This book was released on 2007-01-09 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ONE OF ESSENCE’S 50 MOST IMPACTFUL BLACK BOOKS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS In this iconic memoir of his early days, Barack Obama “guides us straight to the intersection of the most serious questions of identity, class, and race” (The Washington Post Book World). “Quite extraordinary.”—Toni Morrison In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father—a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man—has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey—first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother’s family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance. Praise for Dreams from My Father “Beautifully crafted . . . moving and candid . . . This book belongs on the shelf beside works like James McBride’s The Color of Water and Gregory Howard Williams’s Life on the Color Line as a tale of living astride America’s racial categories.”—Scott Turow “Provocative . . . Persuasively describes the phenomenon of belonging to two different worlds, and thus belonging to neither.”—The New York Times Book Review “Obama’s writing is incisive yet forgiving. This is a book worth savoring.”—Alex Kotlowitz, author of There Are No Children Here “One of the most powerful books of self-discovery I’ve ever read, all the more so for its illuminating insights into the problems not only of race, class, and color, but of culture and ethnicity. It is also beautifully written, skillfully layered, and paced like a good novel.”—Charlayne Hunter-Gault, author of In My Place “Dreams from My Father is an exquisite, sensitive study of this wonderful young author’s journey into adulthood, his search for community and his place in it, his quest for an understanding of his roots, and his discovery of the poetry of human life. Perceptive and wise, this book will tell you something about yourself whether you are black or white.”—Marian Wright Edelman

In the process, he challenges the legacy of Freud and mainstream views of parental attachment, and also explains how we can become better parents ourselves."--www.Amazon.com.
