Book Synopsis Stumbling on Happiness by : Daniel Gilbert
Download or read book Stumbling on Happiness written by Daniel Gilbert and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A smart and funny book by a prominent Harvard psychologist, which uses groundbreaking research and (often hilarious) anecdotes to show us why we’re so lousy at predicting what will make us happy – and what we can do about it. Most of us spend our lives steering ourselves toward the best of all possible futures, only to find that tomorrow rarely turns out as we had expected. Why? As Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert explains, when people try to imagine what the future will hold, they make some basic and consistent mistakes. Just as memory plays tricks on us when we try to look backward in time, so does imagination play tricks when we try to look forward. Using cutting-edge research, much of it original, Gilbert shakes, cajoles, persuades, tricks and jokes us into accepting the fact that happiness is not really what or where we thought it was. Among the unexpected questions he poses: Why are conjoined twins no less happy than the general population? When you go out to eat, is it better to order your favourite dish every time, or to try something new? If Ingrid Bergman hadn’t gotten on the plane at the end of Casablanca, would she and Bogey have been better off? Smart, witty, accessible and laugh-out-loud funny, Stumbling on Happiness brilliantly describes all that science has to tell us about the uniquely human ability to envision the future, and how likely we are to enjoy it when we get there.

Download or read book Though I Stumble written by Kim Cash Tate and published by Kimberly Tate. This book was released on 2016-12-02 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four women, one weekend, and their lives will never be the same. Stephanie London thought she'd heard from God when she moved to Hope Springs, N.C. But a tragedy in that small town left her soul desolate. Now her husband's inattentiveness has pushed her over the edge. Bereft of hope, she travels home to St. Louis as a women's ministry conference kicks off. Though less than enthused to attend, new friendships offer strength and light. But what happens when the weekend ends and real life begins again? Treva Langston grieves still the loss of her husband of twenty-two years. Now, two years later, her heart is breaking again as her oldest daughter's travails come to light. Traveling from DC to St. Louis for a women's conference seems the last thing she should do, given the circumstances. But in St. Louis her path crosses with someone new--and her world turns upside down. Will it only lead to more heartbreak? Jillian Mason can't wait to attend the Living Word women's conference. She's done their Bible studies for years and expects God to show up in an amazing way. But the weekend delivers something unexpected--a discovery about her husband. As the state of her marriage hangs in the balance, Jillian is suddenly anxious about returning home. Faith Langston has always been a girl after God's heart. She loves Living Word studies and registered early for the conference. But at the end of her college sophomore year, she finds herself in circumstances she never imagined--with a heart that has strayed from God. She makes it to St. Louis nonetheless, with her boyfriend in tow--but how will she find her way back to God? Four women in different seasons of life converge at a women's conference--with a theme that charges them to run "in hot pursuit" for Christ. But how do they run when challenges seem insurmountable? And can they help one another navigate the difficult terrain? "The author has a gift for bringing God's love and light into even the darkest situation." --Romantic Times (The Color of Hope)
Book Synopsis Iridescent Stumbles by : Ursula Wilfriede Schneider
Download or read book Iridescent Stumbles written by Ursula Wilfriede Schneider and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-01-16 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In opposition to Elizabeth Bowen, the superbly gifted Irish-English short story writer, who was not enticed by the idea of art as self-expression, other novelists believe that writing is autobiographical. The characters in the six stories that comprise Iridescent Stumbles are based on actual encounters. Their physical and psychological make-ups vary. Men and women either appear as shadowy reflections or are more sharply exposed depending upon the background into which they are set. In The upstairs Studio a woman, no longer in her thirties and her younger lover, a well over six feet tall runner, go late at night to their hide-out, an artist‘s studio in a semi rural location. During their love-making the enticing female‘s body appears in dreamlike sequences as a coveted symbol of a medieval monk‘s forbidden sexual cravings, and also changes into Selene who seduces Endymion in his sleep. In the runner‘s arms his inamorata whispers about a swim in the shark-infested Red Sea where she‘s encircled by a pod of dolphins that resemble a gam of sharks. The lovers erotic trysts end when the sprinter gets married again and his second young wife produces two healthy offspring. If a reader has enjoyed The upstairs Studio, he/she will most likely take pleasure too in March Mornings and Nights (a second richly varied love story), Hawaii (a mother-daughter team taking thrilling glimpses at the Aloha State‘s intrinsic, natural splendor and the diversity of Kanaka Maoli people), Tous les jours d‘Europe (fictionalizes a woman‘s journey into past personal occurrences in Europe), Lush Summer Days at Gaby‘s in the Birkshires (recalls annual holidays spent in Masschusetts) and Arizona with Sabine (explores parts of the United States enticing West). The author‘s style, the signature, if not the soul of a writer, so slippery, so hard to catch, remains the same. Her style unerringly aims for its most important goal: beauty.

Book Synopsis Stumbling Blocks Before the Blind by : Edward Wheatley
Download or read book Stumbling Blocks Before the Blind written by Edward Wheatley and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2022-10-20 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bold, deeply learned, and important, offering a provocative thesis that is worked out through legal and archival materials and in subtle and original readings of literary texts. Absolutely new in content and significantly innovative in methodology and argument, Stumbling Blocks Before the Blind offers a cultural geography of medieval blindness that invites us to be more discriminating about how we think of geographies of disability today." ---Christopher Baswell, Columbia University "A challenging, interesting, and timely book that is also very well written . . . Wheatley has researched and brought together a leitmotiv that I never would have guessed was so pervasive, so intriguing, so worthy of a book." ---Jody Enders, University of California, Santa Barbara Stumbling Blocks Before the Blind presents the first comprehensive exploration of a disability in the Middle Ages, drawing on the literature, history, art history, and religious discourse of England and France. It relates current theories of disability to the cultural and institutional constructions of blindness in the eleventh through fifteenth centuries, examining the surprising differences in the treatment of blind people and the responses to blindness in these two countries. The book shows that pernicious attitudes about blindness were partially offset by innovations and ameliorations---social; literary; and, to an extent, medical---that began to foster a fuller understanding and acceptance of blindness. A number of practices and institutions in France, both positive and negative---blinding as punishment, the foundation of hospices for the blind, and some medical treatment---resulted in not only attitudes that commodified human sight but also inhumane satire against the blind in French literature, both secular and religious. Anglo-Saxon and later medieval England differed markedly in all three of these areas, and the less prominent position of blind people in society resulted in noticeably fewer cruel representations in literature. This book will interest students of literature, history, art history, and religion because it will provide clear contexts for considering any medieval artifact relating to blindness---a literary text, a historical document, a theological treatise, or a work of art. For some readers, the book will serve as an introduction to the field of disability studies, an area of increasing interest both within and outside of the academy. Edward Wheatley is Surtz Professor of Medieval Literature at Loyola University, Chicago.
Book Synopsis Father Tierney Stumbles by : John Shekleton
Download or read book Father Tierney Stumbles written by John Shekleton and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joe's mind raced. The clinic was in a neighboring county, and he'd dressed down. He'd worn jeans, dirty tennis shoes, and the torn denim jacket he used for work in the parish garden. He'd even glued on a fake mustache, the one that he had bought for last year's Halloween party when he'd gone as Pancho Villa ... Now he was booking it down a busy avenue like a thief after a heist. He'd run seven blocks and had just turned right toward the river and his Honda Civic. He'd have to slow down. He had to be careful. He tugged off the fake moustache and then threw it in the gutter. Joe hadn't wanted to park near the clinic, so he'd parked near the hospital. It was part of his plan. If any parishioners saw him, they'd think he was visiting the sick or tending to an emergency. God, Joe wished that were true. The truth was he was now one of the sick. Father Joe Tierney was HIV positive.

Book Synopsis Emergency Contact by : Mary H. K. Choi
Download or read book Emergency Contact written by Mary H. K. Choi and published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Smart and funny, with characters so real and vulnerable, you want to send them care packages. I loved this book.” —Rainbow Rowell From debut author Mary H.K. Choi comes a compulsively readable novel that shows young love in all its awkward glory—perfect for fans of Eleanor & Park and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. For Penny Lee, high school was a total nonevent. Her friends were okay, her grades were fine, and while she’d somehow landed a boyfriend, they never managed to know much about each other. Now Penny is heading to college in Austin, Texas, to learn how to become a writer. It’s seventy-nine miles and a zillion light years away from everything she can’t wait to leave behind. Sam’s stuck. Literally, figuratively, emotionally, financially. He works at a café and sleeps there too, on a mattress on the floor of an empty storage room upstairs. He knows that this is the god-awful chapter of his life that will serve as inspiration for when he’s a famous movie director but right this second the seventeen bucks in his checking account and his dying laptop are really testing him. When Sam and Penny cross paths it’s less meet-cute and more a collision of unbearable awkwardness. Still, they swap numbers and stay in touch—via text—and soon become digitally inseparable, sharing their deepest anxieties and secret dreams without the humiliating weirdness of having to, you know, see each other.

Book Synopsis Stumbling Forward: A Life by : Michael J. Wagner
Download or read book Stumbling Forward: A Life written by Michael J. Wagner and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an autobiography, done as only the "first person singular" can do it. It's not written for reasons of ego. God knows, if you read it you'll see what an awkward, ambling, stumbling life story is told here. But so far, those stumbles have mostly been forward and interesting. Therein lies the story. This "in-between" generation rascal missed the "Beat Generation," and was too old to be a "Baby Boomer." There wasn't a discernable movement or cultural attitude for those who lived in-between. They had to make it up as they went along. This is the meandering story of one of those "Betweeners."
Book Synopsis Undisciplining Dance in Nine Movements and Eight Stumbles by : Carol Brown
Download or read book Undisciplining Dance in Nine Movements and Eight Stumbles written by Carol Brown and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If much of what we teach and come to know from within the disciplinary regime of Dance Studies is founded on a certain kind of mastery, what scope is there to challenge, criticize and undo this knowledge from within the academy, as well as through productive encounters with its margins? This volume contributes to a growing discourse on the potential of dance and dancers to affect change, politics and situational awareness, as well as to traverse disciplinary boundaries. It ‘undisciplines’ academic thinking through its organisation into ‘movements’ and ‘stumbles’, reinforcing its theme through its structure as well as its content, addressing contemporary dance and performance practices and pedagogies from a range of research perspectives and registers. Turbulent and vertiginous events on the world stage necessitate new ways of thinking and acting. This book makes strides towards a new kind of research which creates alternative modes for perceiving, experiencing and making. Through writings and images, its contributions offer different perspectives on how to rethink disciplinarity through choreographic practices, somatics, a reimagining of dance techniques, indigenous ontologies, choreopolitics, critical dance pedagogies and visual performance languages.
