Book You Selfish Bastard

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You Selfish Bastard? Are you? Or do you know one? There may be more to this question than meets the eye… What started out as an innocent search to this seemingly simple question, D. Arthur was led down a very interesting rabbit hole. It would seem that to answer one question, it raises many more. What does it mean to be selfish? When does self-care become self-ish? And “WHO” is Self anyway? A humorous and light-hearted book hitting hard at truths about ourselves, our relationships and ultimately, our deep inner calling towards something greater than ourselves.

Book Selfishness and Selflessness

Download or read book Selfishness and Selflessness written by Linda L. Layne and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2020-04-09 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are said to be suffering a narcissism epidemic when the need for collective action seems more pressing than ever. The traits of Selfishness and selflessness address the ‘proper’ and ‘improper’ relationship between one’s self and others. The work they do during periods of social instability and cultural change is probed in this original, interdisciplinary collection. Contributions range from an examination of how these concepts animated the eighteenth-century anti-slavery campaigners to a dissection of the way middle-class mothers’ experiences illustrate gendered struggles over how much and to whom one is morally obliged to give.

Book One Got Past the Keeper

Download or read book One Got Past the Keeper written by Fertile FC and published by Hachette Australia. This book was released on 2011-07-26 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The men of Fertile FC, a six-a-side football team, came together to get fit, played for fun and then stayed up far too late after every game having a good time. But before they had the chance to kick a ball for their second season, they'd all, bar one, scored a goal of a different kind. They'd become expectant fathers and were looking at entirely new goals of responsibility and commitment. Jim, Yari, Ross, Rick, Neil and Nick tell of their journeys into fatherhood - how they dealt with the good bits (more sex before pregnancy); the bad bits (less sex after pregancy); the sticky bits (the birth); and finally bringing home the trophy - a shiny new baby. These men aren't experts at childbirth (or football) but their stories will appeal to new fathers (and mothers) as they prepare the game of their lives.

Middleburg, Connecticut, is a dying river town, and Tommy Lark will be its undertaker. A hardened veteran of the local police force, Lark has worked in Middleburg for twenty-two years—each one worse than the year before. When he was an idealistic young rookie, his partner killed a suspect by accident, and Lark planted a knife on the body to keep him from getting kicked off the force. Since then, he’s never bothered to play fair. He’ll beat a suspect, even throw him down a flight of stairs—anything to get another piece of garbage off the streets of his city. But something’s coming to Middleburg that will shock the callous cop to his very core. When a string of kinky killings baffles the local police department, Lark is drawn into the darkest part of the city’s underworld—where love means nothing, and a woman’s life isn’t worth the clothes on her back. And to save his city, Lark must risk the last good thing in his life: his daughter’s love. In the tradition of Dirty Harry and Death Wish, Lark is an unflinching look at a vicious corrupt cop and the city that made him. Fans of truly hard-boiled thrillers will find Lark is one of the toughest cops mystery fiction has ever produced.

Book Into and Out of the Spin

Download or read book Into and Out of the Spin written by Harry M. Anderson and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tall sculpture on the front cover of this book was created from an striking experience the author had in the late 1970s when looking at the news on the TV. In the course of approximately four seconds, a tall young German boy - absent of mind, aimless and sad - wandered across the screen and left the analyst artist in a powerful, shocked, puzzled state. He was in the midst of what became a failed ’69-‘79 training analysis, and during it, he developed an original, real-scientific method that, from ’80 to ’90: dismantled late-child symptoms in self; went to the causal roots of several art forms and ended them; re-stirred the memory of that boy; and led to the carving. He continued in that art form for some years until continued self-analytic studies went to absolute symptom roots and endings. And in September, 2018, the little fellow on the left opened his unconscious experiences to complete physical display in days. Then the analyst’s still-operative Self analytic research dismantled any further dangers that the Symptom Self had had to share (in disconnected, heavily secreted pieces), as it systematically moved to its real, and thoroughly-finished end on Nov. 4, 2019.

Book excerpt: Sarah Daniels is "a writer with a natural talent for disturbance" (Observer) Set in the gutting sheds of the slaughterhouse at the Cattle Market in late Victorian Deptford, The Gut Girls shows how the lives of the girls are changed when their work is made illegal - "Regarded as little better than whores by their contemporaries the gut girls are...a boisterous, beer-swilling, strong-minded bunch, handy with a knife both in the gutting shed and outside it, defiantly independent in attitude and scornful of the illusion of male supremacy." Malcolm Hay (Time Out). Beside Herself is the first of three plays in this volume that deal with women and madness - "a dramatic analogue of a contemporary social tragedy which exists on a scale we are only just beginning to comprehend" (Observer); Head-Rot Holiday commissioned by Clean Break theatre company for ex-offenders, portrays the fate of women detained in special hospitals, a euphemism for an institution for the "criminally insane" - "There is a fine, hard humour, as well as compassion, in the way Head-Rot Holdiay examines the contradictions entangling these women's lives"; The Madness of Esmé and Shaz is "A weird and wondrous black comedy." (Spectator)

Book excerpt: About the Book There are many times in our lives where we reach certain stepping stones on the path of life, ones that shape us into who we are meant to be, ones that include temptations, loneliness, and whatever else life decides it wants to throw at us. The catch, though, is to allow ourselves to catch the pitch that life throws at us. We cannot run from loneliness, we cannot run from learning self-discipline, we cannot run from the future of that in which we are about to start building, and we cannot escape social pressure. We have the choices of running or facing these obstacles. But what will running away from them do for us? Introspection shows us that in life, we can use our God-given gifts as an outlet to bring self-happiness and use those God-given gifts to bring peace to our soul. About the Author Nygie P. Rhodes went to college and obtained a Bachelor of Science in Justice and Public Policy along with a Certificate in Paralegal Studies. By the time you read this book, he will already have started law school. Nygie enjoys performing music, listening to music, and making his own music. In undergrad he was a part of various music ensembles that deepened his love for music. Obviously, another hobby of his is writing poetry. Nygie loves every last one of his siblings and parents deeply. He would not trade them for anything. Lastly, Nygie thanks every friend, teacher, and family member who inspired him to write poetry or certain poems. He even thanks the ones who do not know that they have inspired him.
