Download or read book Ever the Optimist written by Joe Jennings and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-05-16 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ever the Optimist" is a heart warming tale of Joe Jennings' love affair with his football club, which shows no sign of wilting despite the heartaches they have presented him over the years.The book is an epic adventure, a plethora of events that have been cherry picked to signify the resurrection of one of English football's great bastions; which after years of decline is finally emerging from the depths to cement itself back among the elite. They are by no means there, but the author has seen enough to suggest that the tide is turning, and as he steers you through the waters of hope, with the enthusiasm and optimism that underlines his every sentence, it starts to rub off on you and you are willing them to succeed as much as he. It is feeling that you rarely get from a football book and it is arguably the first that has been able to capture the spirit and emotion that has been missing from books of this genre since Nick Hornby's 'Fever Pitch'.

Book excerpt: 'In any given moment, there are two options; to step forward into growth or to step back into safety...'- Abraham Maslow''It was true. I knew it. I felt it growing louder everyday. First a murmur. Then a hum. As I made the commute to the office, everyday, it got louder still. Then everyday my mind shouted at me - 'There has to be more than this!'I realised then, that I simply couldn't live the same year 60 times in a row, and call it 'my life.''Gylisa is bored of the life she is expected to lead, and craves change. Stuck in a rut, working to pay the bills and missing out on everything in between, she realises that monotony isn't safe at all. It's a life sentence. When her boyfriend, Ryan offers a solution, albeit a risky one. She knows she has to take it. It's now, or never.With just a duvet, some clothes and their car, they leave their old lives behind without a second glance, pulling back the arrow and shooting it with no real target in sight. Freedom, it turns out, can be found living in a tiny car on a business estate. 200 miles from 'home', with no money, it's not quite the adventure they had in mind. But with nothing left to do but count down the days until 'Real Life' begins, they learn how to survive, and grow - on the way.This is her memoir based on the diary she kept during this time.
Book Synopsis The Optimist's Telescope by : Bina Venkataraman
Download or read book The Optimist's Telescope written by Bina Venkataraman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Best Book of 2019 by NPR “How might we mitigate losses caused by shortsightedness? Bina Venkataraman, a former climate adviser to the Obama administration, brings a storyteller’s eye to this question. . . . She is also deeply informed about the relevant science.” —The New York Times Book Review A trailblazing exploration of how we can plan better for the future: our own, our families’, and our society’s. Instant gratification is the norm today—in our lives, our culture, our economy, and our politics. Many of us have forgotten (if we ever learned) how to make smart decisions for the long run. Whether it comes to our finances, our health, our communities, or our planet, it’s easy to avoid thinking ahead. The consequences of this immediacy are stark: Deadly outbreaks spread because leaders failed to act on early warning signs. Companies that fail to invest stagnate and fall behind. Hurricanes and wildfires turn deadly for communities that could have taken more precaution. Today more than ever, all of us need to know how we can make better long-term decisions in our lives, businesses, and society. Bina Venkataraman sees the way forward. A journalist and former adviser in the Obama White House, she helped communities and businesses prepare for climate change, and she learned firsthand why people don’t think ahead—and what can be done to change that. In The Optimist’s Telescope, she draws from stories she has reported around the world and new research in biology, psychology, and economics to explain how we can make decisions that benefit us over time. With examples from ancient Pompeii to modern-day Fukushima, she dispels the myth that human nature is impossibly reckless and highlights the surprising practices each of us can adopt in our own lives—and the ones we must fight for as a society. The result is a book brimming with the ideas and insights all of us need in order to forge a better future.

Download or read book The Optimist written by Sophie Kipner and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Tabitha Gray, a delusional girl from Topanga, California, who redefines what it means to be a truly hopeless romantic. Tabby suffers from an aggressive strain of cock-eyed optimism – no amount of failure, embarrassment or humiliation can dent her fierce belief that real, true, lasting love is just around the corner. Where most people think, fantasise and dream, Tabby says, feels and does. Whether waiting in her lingerie for Harrison Ford to open the door of his hotel room; following Al Pacino around a Russian bathhouse; seeking passion with a blind man on the advice of a wise old woman with dementia; or sending intimate photos to a random sexter, Tabby refuses to be crushed by her many misadventures. In this warmly witty novel, Sophie Kipner takes a satirical look at the extremity of romantic desperation, and pays tribute to the deep human need to keep on heroically searching for love despite our many absurdities.
Book Synopsis The Optimist's/Pessimist's Handbook by : Niall Edworthy
Download or read book The Optimist's/Pessimist's Handbook written by Niall Edworthy and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-11-10 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mere sense of living is joy enough. Emily Dickinson, 1830-1886, American poet Humanity's story is one long testimony to the truth that life is as rewarding and beautiful as you make it. As pioneers, inventors, and dreamers have always known, you can do anything if only you persevere. Ever since we hauled ourselves out of the swamp, our history has been one of extraordinary cultural and technological progress, of mind-boggling discoveries and remarkable achievements, often against the odds. It's no coincidence that you see no statues of pessimists in city squares. Still, cynical and doubting voices are heard all too loudly and frequently in public discourse. A potent antidote to their gloom and doom, The Optimist's Handbook is a joyful explosion of wit and wisdom from our past and present that celebrates the art of greeting life with the excitement it deserves. This handbook will inspire, enchant, and entertain you as you go forward into all your wonderful tomorrows. Even if, after reading it, you are not moved to feats of glory for the greater good, the fact is that optimists are healthier, happier, and richer than their gloomy counterparts. Hear that, killjoys? The world is a grindstone and life is your nose. Fred Allen, 1894-1956, American humorist Why beat around the bush? The truth is that life is a never-ending cycle of toil and pain with nothing but death to reward all our suffering. Furthermore, what solace is there in blind optimism or fanciful daydreaming when it is perfectly clear that the world is heading toward a complete meltdown whether we live in it or not? Resigning yourself to life's grim treadmill, and thereby avoiding more disappointments, is the best way to trudge forward. The Pessimist's Handbook is an indispensable companion on your journey through this vale of tears. A clear-sighted, realistic look at life's obstacles, this guidebook is stocked with the pearls of wisdom you need to counter the irritating voices of those who trumpet futile positivity and inane confidence in a brighter future. Feel reassured that scores of people share your sense of impending doom...and have done so for centuries. After all, misery loves company, but not when it's a horde of perky utopians.

Too bad there’s no chance of that. Her relentlessly sunny disposition annoys them both, no matter how hard she tries. Instead, Gina finds order and comfort in obsessive list-making and her work at Grilled G’s, the gourmet grilled cheese food truck built by her late husband. But when Lorraine suffers a sudden stroke, Gina stumbles upon a family secret Lorraine's kept hidden for forty years. In the face of her mother’s failing health and her daughter’s rebellion, this optimist might find that piecing together the truth is the push she needs to let go...
