Download or read book Rich Free and Miserable written by John Brueggemann and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compared to much of the rest of the world, America and its citizens are rich. But many people are also deeply miserable—at work, at home, or both. In this provocative book, author John Brueggemann unpacks why so many people are struggling, both emotionally and financially, in a nation that looks so prosperous on the surface. From a hospital patient reduced to a balance sheet to a parent working such long hours that he misses dinner, Brueggemann argues that market thinking has permeated every corner of our lives. In the pursuit of more and better, relationships erode, to the detriment of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Rich, Free, and Miserable not only outlines these pressing social problems, but also offers practical suggestions for people looking to make a positive change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a hopeful, consoling, gentle book about failure. Our societies talk a lot about success, but the reality is that no one gets through life without failing - in small and usually also in large ways. Sometimes our failures are very obvious, at other times, we feel we have to conceal them out of shame. This book encourages us to accept the role that failure plays for all of us and to feel compassion for ourselves for the messes we can't help but make as we go through our lives.Our societies talk a lot about how to succeed: we'd end up so much wiser and calmer if we learnt how to cope better with the more likely scenario of failure. This is a book packed with dignified, sensible, kindly suggestions about how to approach failure: how to deal with friends, how to cope with enemies, how to endure regret, how to pick oneself up, how to accept oneself despite one's flaws, and how to endure and thrive in new, less than ideal circumstances.It's a perfect volume for anyone who has ever had a relationship breakdown, suffered a career reversal, made enemies, bungled a project or wasted their time - in other words, for all of us. When we fail, it can sometimes seem as if we are alone in this however, in truth, there is nothing more human than to fail - and nothing wiser and more necessary than to learn to fail well.

Download or read book In Search of Failure written by Ben Byram-Wigfield and published by New Holland Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's face it, We are all going to fail. Sometimes. There are few things more certain in life. Quite frankly, there are times when your best is just not good enough. For every winner, there must inevitably be a host of people who were pipped to the post. The law of averages alone would suggest that one of them is going to be you, at least once in your life. This is the sad but certain truth that we must all learn. But is it such a sad truth after all? It is strange that we all seem to have such difficulty learning this simply fact. Every day, this integral part of life is looked upon with shame and sadness, with feelings of embarrassment and inadequacy, with several bottles of scotch and with crying on stairs. Instead, what we ought to be doing is embracing our failure. Only then can we explore our fullest potential to fail, and so achieve the greatest part of our humanity. This book teaches you how to come to terms with yourself as the miserable failure that you undoubtedly are, and how to enjoy yourself because of, rather than in spite of, your short-comings and misdeeds.

Download or read book Successful Failure written by Devery Youngblood and published by Tate Publishing & Enterprises. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OUR BIGGEST FAILURES IN LIFE – THOUGH PAINFUL AND SOMETHING WE WOULD NEVER WANT TO REPEAT – OFTEN END UP BEING THE BEST THINGS THAT EVER HAPPENED TO US. SO WHY DO WE KEEP FAILING AT FAILURE?After not keeping score in Little League games, bailouts for businesses, and 'bad credit/no problem' financing schemes, a new reality is setting in. As the world wrestles with failure in our economy, in relationships, our homes, and more, author Devery Youngblood argues that failure helps us eliminate what does not work and gives us incentive to take the more challenging road of strength. We learn, not from being rescued (though it is temporarily more pleasing), but from developing the tools to rescue ourselves. Far from an inherent negative, failure is actually a needed feedback device that teaches us how to be successful. In this wise and honest book the author talks openly about failures of the famous as well as his own – from marriage to money, from turning around a city to facing life-and-death health choices. Far from disengaged theory, this is a look at failure from the inside, told in a refreshingly upbeat, positive manner that will take you on a journey through tears and laughter - from sadness to genuine hope.

Download or read book The Angry Therapist written by John Kim and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tackling relationships, career, and family issues, John Kim, LMFT, thinks of himself as a life-styledesigner, not a therapist. His radical new approach, that he sometimes calls “self-help in a shot glass” is easy, real, and to the point. He helps people make changes to their lives so that personal growth happens organically, just by living. Let’s face it, therapy is a luxury. Few of us have the time or money to devote to going to an office every week. With anecdotes illustrating principles in action (in relatable and sometimes irreverent fashion) and stand-alone practices and exercises, Kim gives readers the tools and directions to focus on what's right with them instead of what's wrong. When John Kim was going through the end of a relationship, he began blogging as The Angry Therapist, documenting his personal journey post-divorce. Traditional therapists avoid transparency, but Kim preferred the language of "me too" as opposed to "you should." He blogged about his own shortcomings, revelations, views on relationships, and the world. He spoke a different therapeutic language —open, raw, and at times subversive — and people responded. The Angry Therapist blog, that inspired this book, has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly and on NPR.
