Download or read book Fuel For My Journey written by Dhananjay Yellurkar and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-03-19 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this inspiring memoir, Dhananjay Yellurkar brings to life the old adage about mind over body and shares his story of becoming the rare person who has run full marathons across six continents post his heart attack and open-heart surgery. His transformative journey from being a breadwinner in his mid-40s, struggling to deal with the aftermath of a major surgery to becoming a passionate long-distance runner is written in a breezy yet captivating style. From the challenges of training regularly on the streets of Mumbai, running marathons in New York City, Berlin, Paris and Gold Coast, donning the cap of a pacer at Mumbai, running an adventure marathon in the savannahs of South Africa to completing one of the toughest marathons in Antarctica, the reader is immersed in a mesmerizing journey of a former non-athlete that is filled with a spirit of grit, tenacity and hope. Dhananjay’s story of a strong comeback and rediscovery is underlined by the values that the marathons have taught him – courage, discipline, honour, humility, kindness, faith and patience. His decade-long tryst with long-distance running provides a fascinating glimpse into the immense potential of a human body, which when pushed to its limits can demonstrate amazing results. Above all, it takes you into the mind of a marathoner whose only aim is to become a better version of himself.

Download or read book Journeys in Psychoanalysis written by Elizabeth Spillius and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning six decades, this collection, Journeys in Psychoanalysis: The selected works of Elizabeth Spillius, traces the arc of her career from anthropology and entering psychoanalysis ‘almost by accident’, to becoming one of her generation’s leading scholars of Melanie Klein. Born in 1924 in Ontario, Canada, Elizabeth arrived at the London School of Economics for postgraduate studies in the 1950s and soon embarked on a groundbreaking study of family life in the East End of London that produced a PhD and her first book, Family and Social Network, under her maiden name Elizabeth Bott. Published by the Tavistock Institute in 1957, it remains one of the most influential works published on the sociology of the family. These papers are a testament to the luminous intellect and understated compassion that Elizabeth has always brought to her work. They vividly map not just the evolution of Elizabeth’s career but the development of Melanie Klein’s thought, often drawing in compelling fashion on the writer’s own experiences with her patients. Each is written with the clarity and concision that makes difficult concepts eminently comprehensible to psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists and laymen alike.

Download or read book Travelling Trawling and the Utterly Appalling written by Ant Anderson and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep-sea fishing, trawling through a cyclone, man-handling some of the world most deadly sharks and a strange yellow van! 'Travelling, Trawling and The Utterly Appalling' is a first hand account of a travellers fast-paced and unpredictable lifestyle over three incredible, action-packed years. The author details the life threatening dangers he faced hanging from a tree-vine 150m above a rock face, single handed, in Thailand to the more humorous account of his adventures around Asia and Australia. The people the author meets on his travels are almost as obscure as some of the situations he finds himself in. From sharing a cabin with a self-confessed gang member to living with a 'cougar' from Australia. The book reveals the true extent of the hard work on-board a Gulf of Carpentaria prawn trawler. Renowned as one of the hardest fishing seasons in the world, the author describes the physical and mental torment of 52 hour shifts, deadly sea snakes, sting rays and crazy crew members. In-between his long stints at sea incident and intrigue are still very much at large... The book shows the complete polarization of emotions in three years on the road and the water. The ecstasy and joy of travelling some of the world's most beautiful places contrasts starkly to the vigorous, relentless work at sea in minus 40 degree freezers and a plus 40 degree deck! All in all, this is a light hearted and inspiring story of the opportunities that arise while completely out the so-called comfort-zone.

Download or read book Chasing Sacred Bible Study written by Mikella Van Dyke and published by Tyndale House Publishers. This book was released on 2024-09-10 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do I create a consistent, fulfilling Bible study routine? If you've ever struggled to spend time in God's Word on a regular basis, you're not alone. So many of us deeply desire to come to Scripture for meaningful connection, but with the chaos of everyday life, God’s Word so often takes a back seat to the immediacy of life’s needs. Yet firm grounding can be found in the pages of the Bible when we truly take the time to understand what it says. In this five-session Bible study companion to the book Chasing Sacred, designed for both individuals and groups, Bible teacher Mikella Van Dyke invites you to chase the sacred narrative woven through the pages of Scripture and get to know God in a deeper, more intimate way. Using the Inductive Bible Study Method, journey with Mikella through the books of Colossians and Philemon to: Observe: Take a look at the biblical setting. Who was the author? What was happening during this time period? You’ll uncover the nuances of the culture and context of the time. Interpret: Take a deep dive into the waters of His living Word. Then learn how to ask questions that will guide you into greater understanding of the text. Apply: Let the Holy Spirit allow the truths of scripture to sink deep into your heart and give you the strength to continue onward in this walk of faith. Investing time in studying Scripture never comes back void. In this study, Mikella offers the reminder that Jesus longs for you to rely on truth, to look up beyond the impossible demands of the world and stand firm in the Father’s unconditional love for you.
