Book excerpt: 'I want to live, not just survive' takes you on Anna's journey, of taking back control of her life. In 2015 the priority had been on her health but in 2016 the priorities were switched; from focusing on her health, to living life to the full and cramming in as much fun as possible. She goes on breaks away and fits in her hospital appointments around them and she begins to look forward to a better, more balanced life. She ticks off many things on her bucket list and she literally spends half of the year travelling away from home, on various trips both home and abroad. She takes as many holidays as she can, doing as much as her body would allow and then some. 2016 proved to be an amazing year for Anna; we see how the love of her family and friends has such a positive effect on her and enables her to fulfill her dream of travelling. She is still battling with her health but she is always aiming for it not to consume her; it was important for her to shift her focus, she didn't want to be seen as the 'sick person' who couldn't do anything. 'I want to live, not just survive' shows how, even with significant illness and disability, you can still achieve, you can still live your life and enjoy all that it brings. Reading this book will make you want to experience new things, to travel to different places and fill your life with as much enjoyment as possible, irrespective of your ability.

'Reviews from Amazon, for the second book in the series, 'Learning to dance in the rain''I couldn't wait to read the second book, just hoping it was as good as the first.

Her story shows how you can find positives in every situation, she certainly did learn to dance in the rain!!!''I read this book in 2 days.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survivor takes those struggling with anorexia and/or bulimia on “a passionate, heartbreaking to humorous road from rock bottom to recovery” (Robert Tuchman, author of Young Guns). Imagine waking in a hospital bed to find your frail, pale arm punctured by an IV transferring fluids and nutrients into your weak, stiff body. What happened? You’re an adult, age twenty-six, and you just had a seizure precipitated by your chronic, secretive, decades-long struggle with unacknowledged eating disorders. You have no friends and no normal young-adult experiences. Living Full is written by Danielle Sherman-Lazar, a woman who passed through the eating disorder crucible to recovery, sharing the most intimate and shameful details of her mental illness. Living Full is Danielle’s story. Eating disorders in young adults are hardly talked about, but are pervasive. Eating disorders are kept hidden out of shame. A groundbreaking 2012 study published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders found that about thirteen percent of women over age fifty exhibit eating disorder symptoms. Living Full chronicles the author’s step-by-step descent into the full-blown eating disorder nightmare and her path to recovery. Recovery comes from the Maudsley Approach, a regimen of supervised controlled eating or refeeding by out-patient helpers that eventually can result in recovery. Benefits of reading Living Full: See how to confront your eating disorder demon Learn from someone who won her eating disorder battle Discover a new and beautiful life

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide selling author Noah Anonis with titles 'Free, Love & Guaranteed" The Manual" & "Finding Your Inner Phoenix" exploring the connection between mental health, persuasion, enthusiasm and belief. In this book, Noah Anonis now offers help for sufferers achieving a better mental health with a book of original advice/quotes to achieve a quick fix to the outlook. The book is purposely written to influence the mood of the reader and claims to be able to change the mood even within a few minutes. Helping with temporary cures for depression, anxiety, confidence and self-belief through changes in outlook that make chemical changes in the brain. The book is consciously a very simple and fast read and maybe read through from cover to cover very quickly. However, it is much more likely that the book will be kept as a reference to be consulted as and when the reader feels it is needed. With a change in outlook happening very rapidly page by page, the subconscious psychological help can be not only mind altering but life changing. Mental health improvements are being made everyday but the 'apparent magic' in this book of being able to turn sad into happy, doubt into enthusiasm and despair into hope is remarkable. Going through the motions of life day by day just existing is not enough for many and they may crave a better outlook, more enthusiasm, more energy and a happier personality. 'Staying Alive Is Not Enough' attempts to give the reader a quick fix to their mental health like a breath of fresh air. As mental health is a temporary issue in the vast majority of cases, we have learnt that the mood changes with events, experiences and outlook. In time with the right treatment mental health will improve. The target of this book is to do that same process but much quicker and let the reader attempt to 'cure themselves' through just reading a few pages of this book through emotional change. Various physical activities of course change the chemicals in the brain of often people feel rejuvenated afterwards. With this book, that same rejuvenation can be created just by internal energy changes through positive reading. The ability for the reader to relate to situations is crucial to a successful recovery and help toward a better outlook and/or cure. For that reason, the most common causes of depression & anxiety are helped through covering various subjects to get the foundations right to continue to build a healthy mindset. Some form of stress seems inevitable in today's society but how the stress is dealt seem to be the key. Two people could experience very similar situations of stress yet would have very different outlooks about it and as a result one may have a better mental perspective than the other, which in turn would reduce their stress. So, if only the outlook is different it means that outlook can be changed for the better, it is merely a question of how to do it. In this case, by simply reading the relevant section will help with the better outlook required for at least a temporary solution/recovery. Arguably, with a constant reading of the book as a point of reference, it can be life changing and permanent help/cure for the reader. "In the end, it is the sufferer who cures themselves they just needed a map on how to get there." Noah Anonis. Increasing belief, self confidence and enthusiasm is not an easy thing to do without help. The help offered in this book is invaluable to many and a better outlook improving their outlook to a level of enjoying life, looking forward with a newfound confidence going forward living life to the full. The new mental energy created will give new hope, a new future, often a new beginning and even a 'new you'. A mental change in energy will create new opportunities and a mentality that is that of a winning mind. Some people are not living anymore, they seem to be just existing. When they know the secrets their lives change quickly, gain control again and discover a new zest for life!
Book Synopsis The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by : Mark Manson
Download or read book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck written by Mark Manson and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller Over 10 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
Book Synopsis Nickel and Dimed by : Barbara Ehrenreich
Download or read book Nickel and Dimed written by Barbara Ehrenreich and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling work of undercover reportage from our sharpest and most original social critic, with a new foreword by Matthew Desmond, author of Evicted Millions of Americans work full time, year round, for poverty-level wages. In 1998, Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. She was inspired in part by the rhetoric surrounding welfare reform, which promised that a job—any job—can be the ticket to a better life. But how does anyone survive, let alone prosper, on $6 an hour? To find out, Ehrenreich left her home, took the cheapest lodgings she could find, and accepted whatever jobs she was offered. Moving from Florida to Maine to Minnesota, she worked as a waitress, a hotel maid, a cleaning woman, a nursing-home aide, and a Wal-Mart sales clerk. She lived in trailer parks and crumbling residential motels. Very quickly, she discovered that no job is truly "unskilled," that even the lowliest occupations require exhausting mental and muscular effort. She also learned that one job is not enough; you need at least two if you int to live indoors. Nickel and Dimed reveals low-rent America in all its tenacity, anxiety, and surprising generosity—a land of Big Boxes, fast food, and a thousand desperate stratagems for survival. Read it for the smoldering clarity of Ehrenreich's perspective and for a rare view of how "prosperity" looks from the bottom. And now, in a new foreword, Matthew Desmond, author of Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City, explains why, twenty years on in America, Nickel and Dimed is more relevant than ever.

Book excerpt: The real-life Nickel and Dimed—the author of the wildly popular “Poverty Thoughts” essay tells what it’s like to be working poor in America. ONE OF THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS OF THE YEAR--Esquire “DEVASTATINGLY SMART AND FUNNY. I am the author of Nickel and Dimed, which tells the story of my own brief attempt, as a semi-undercover journalist, to survive on low-wage retail and service jobs. TIRADO IS THE REAL THING.”—Barbara Ehrenreich, from the Foreword As the haves and have-nots grow more separate and unequal in America, the working poor don’t get heard from much. Now they have a voice—and it’s forthright, funny, and just a little bit furious. Here, Linda Tirado tells what it’s like, day after day, to work, eat, shop, raise kids, and keep a roof over your head without enough money. She also answers questions often asked about those who live on or near minimum wage: Why don’t they get better jobs? Why don’t they make better choices? Why do they smoke cigarettes and have ugly lawns? Why don’t they borrow from their parents? Enlightening and entertaining, Hand to Mouth opens up a new and much-needed dialogue between the people who just don’t have it and the people who just don’t get it.
Download or read book Just Living written by Ruth Valerio and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalisation and consumerism affect every area of our lives. But it's not just about shopping; these powerful forces shape our personal lives, how we relate to one another, how we view the world - and they are having a seriously detrimental impact both on the lives of the global poor, and on the health of the planet itself. Every Christian in every generation down through the history of the church has had to work out what it means to be a follower of Jesus in their particular culture; for us in the twenty-first century, we must think about discipleship in a globalised, consumerist context. Environmentalist and theologian Ruth Valerio examines these issues in a book that is intellectually rigorous yet practical, and as inspiring as it is challenging.
