Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talya Lewis knows well what living in anguish feels like. Growing up with borderline personality disorder (BPD) in the 1970s and 1980s, Talya had multiple experiences as a psychiatric inpatient and was subjected to traumatic and humiliating incidents. When she wasn't in the hospital, she was at a "special school" where the most emotionally vulnerable adolescents were warehoused. Somehow, Talya survived to become a healthy adult but carried the burden of a secret past that shame compelled her to keep hidden. But when flashbacks start interrupting her life, she's forced to face her demons. Talya's brave memoir, The Boom Boom Retreat, gives you an unobstructed view into the fragmented mind and tortured heart of a person suffering from BPD. Experience firsthand the despair, drama, horror, and humor as you swing back and forth between Talya's present-day interactions and her vivid remembrances of past events. In an effort to make sense of her life, she even takes the courageous move to contact the people who treated her twenty-five years ago. Opening up old wounds is a messy, painful business, but what Talya finds, she offers to you: hope.

Download or read book A Long Retreat written by Andrew Krivak and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This gorgeously written memoir, A Long Retreat, tells the story of one man's search for his religious calling-a search that led him to the Dominican Republic and Central Europe, to Moscow and the South Bronx, and finally into married life with a woman whose search for God coincided with his own. In 1990 Andrew Krivak-poet, yacht rigger, ocean lifeguard, student of the classics-entered the Society of Jesus. The heart of Jesuit training is the Long Retreat, thirty days of silence and prayer in which the Jesuit novice reflects on the Gospels and tests his desire for the priesthood. For Krivak, eight years of Jesuit formation turned out to be a long retreat in its own right, as he tested all his desires-for poetry, for travel, for independence, for love-against the pledge to do all "for the greater glory of God." And in this deeply affecting book the long retreat becomes a pattern for our own spiritual lives, enabling us to embrace our desire for solitude and perspective in our own circumstances, the way Krivak has in his new life as a husband, father, and writer. The search for God is finally the search for oneself, St. Augustine wrote. Krivak's story pushes past the awful stories of scandal in the Catholic Church to reveal why a modern, forward-looking man would yearn to be a priest. Unlike those stories, it has an happy ending-one in which we can recognize ourselves.

Book excerpt: For their tenth anniversary, the design studio Roman and Williams Buildings and Interiors presents projects that blend the spirit of our collective history with a modernist edge. Roman and Williams’s style honors craftsmanship, the use of natural materials, and the overlooked in unexpected ways. Their understated, glamorous sensibility is imparted in Manhattan’s Ace Hotel interiors and restaurant The Breslin, The Standard Hotel, with its iconic Boom Boom Room, and the Royalton lobby. For such popular restaurants as The Dutch, the duo created environments with textured backdrops that reference a rich past with a contemporary sensibility. Their innovative work has captured the attention of firms such as Facebook—they recently completed its campus food hall—and their residences for celebrities such as Ben Stiller and Gwyneth Paltrow are equally imaginative.

Download or read book Norway written by International Monetary Fund. European Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper examines the nature and scale of spillovers to a number of European countries from monetary policies in the euro area and the United States using three different approaches. The analysis focuses on selected non-euro-area countries in Europe: the Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, and Sweden. Recent developments in these countries’ sovereign bond yields and exchange rates are indicative of potential spillovers. The paper’s most consistent analytical finding is for spillovers to lower domestic bond yields, with the potential for repercussions on credit expansion and asset prices. More recently, the event study uncovered evidence of upward pressure on the exchange rate.
