Download or read book The Comfort Book written by Matt Haig and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instant New York Times Bestseller! The new uplifting book from Matt Haig, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library, for anyone in search of hope, looking for a path to a more meaningful life, or in need of a little encouragement. Named by The Washington Post as one of the best feel-good books of 2021. “It is a strange paradox, that many of the clearest, most comforting life lessons are learnt while we are at our lowest. But then we never think about food more than when we are hungry and we never think about life rafts more than when we are thrown overboard.” THE COMFORT BOOK is Haig’s life raft: it’s a collection of notes, lists, and stories written over a span of several years that originally served as gentle reminders to Haig’s future self that things are not always as dark as they may seem. Incorporating a diverse array of sources from across the world, history, science, and his own experiences, Haig offers warmth and reassurance, reminding us to slow down and appreciate the beauty and unpredictability of existence.

Book Synopsis The Comfort of Strangers by : Ian McEwan
Download or read book The Comfort of Strangers written by Ian McEwan and published by RosettaBooks. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A twisted relationship between two couples reaches a terrible climax in this novel by the New York Times-bestselling author of Machines Like Me. Colin and Mary are lovers on holiday in Italy, their relationship becoming increasingly problematic as they become increasingly alienated from one and other. They move from place to place in this foreign land but seemingly without aim or purpose, seemingly bored and without attachment. Then they meet a man named Robert and his disabled wife, Caroline. Colin and Mary seem happy for the diversion—happy to meet another couple that takes their focus off of each other for a while. But things become strange when they attempt to leave: Robert and Caroline insist that they stay with them for a while longer. While Mary and Colin do rediscover an erotic attraction to each other during this time, they also find that their relationship with Robert and Caroline is taking a dreadful and horrific turn, in this “fine novel” by the Booker Prize-winning author of Saturday and On Chesil Beach (New Statesman). “McEwan perfectly captures the thrill of travel when one is divorced from familiar surroundings and the chance of something unusual and out-of-character seems possible. Of course, this being a McEwan fiction, the possibility is a brutal truth about how people find love in extreme ways.”—The Daily Beast

Book Synopsis Take Comfort and Solace ... by : William Gardner Pierce
Download or read book Take Comfort and Solace ... written by William Gardner Pierce and published by . This book was released on 2004-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an engineering degree in hand, Bill Pierce set out to reach the pinnacle of his profession with the receipt of his licensure as a Registered Professional Engineer and the experience to support his specialty of conceptual planning. The dream never included the development of an engineering consulting firm operating out of three Midwest cities with annual revenues in the millions, fifty professional employees, and a clientele list of a number of Fortune 100 companies. It was a true American success story.But the plan never included a protracted sixteen year battle with federal bureaucrats. A battle which ultimately cost Pierce his business, professional stature, office, two United States Patents, and his family?s home and financial security. The battle lines were drawn in the sand when the government?s attorney called Pierce to demand he negotiate or federal lawsuits would be filed over Pierce?s flextime policy he established for his employees. The government?s concept of negotiate was do it ?their? way or else, even though no defining regulations, interpretive bulletins, federal documentation, or case law to support their position could be provided.In Take Comfort and Solace ?, Pierce exposes the practices of federal bureaucrats that have set them free to conduct business contrary to federal law, and free of any degree of responsibility and accountability. You will learn how a federal agency:?violated their own handbook, regulations, federal law, an acknowledged mandate from Congress, and even a presidential executive order so they could create a new avenue of litigation against private sector employers;?created a double standard to keep private sector employees from a flextime policy, at the same time they created an exemption for all government workers;?altered the ?plain language? of the law in court documents;?filed false and fraudulent court claims in order to harass and intimidate.(continued on back flap)You will also discover how their actions fall below the radar screen of Congress and the federal court?s system; and even when they are exposed, the agents are held to no accountability at all. But most importantly you will learn that the chief administrator feels it is acceptable for the department?s attorneys to do whatever is necessary to ?win?, and the most vulnerable among our society is the small business owner.Our government was established with a system of ?checks and balances?, but you will be amazed at how the actual practice is unconcerned with the exposure of an agency?s misconduct and so dismissive of the ?whistle-blower.?

Book excerpt: “If you’ve been looking for something different to level up your health, fitness, and personal growth, this is it.”—Melissa Urban, Whole30 CEO and New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Boundaries “Michael Easter’s genius is that he puts data around the edges of what we intuitively believe. His work has inspired many to change their lives for the better.”—Dr. Peter Attia, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Outlive Discover the evolutionary mind and body benefits of living at the edges of your comfort zone and reconnecting with the wild—from the author of Scarcity Brain, coming in September! In many ways, we’re more comfortable than ever before. But could our sheltered, temperature-controlled, overfed, underchallenged lives actually be the leading cause of many our most urgent physical and mental health issues? In this gripping investigation, award-winning journalist Michael Easter seeks out off-the-grid visionaries, disruptive genius researchers, and mind-body conditioning trailblazers who are unlocking the life-enhancing secrets of a counterintuitive solution: discomfort. Easter’s journey to understand our evolutionary need to be challenged takes him to meet the NBA’s top exercise scientist, who uses an ancient Japanese practice to build championship athletes; to the mystical country of Bhutan, where an Oxford economist and Buddhist leader are showing the world what death can teach us about happiness; to the outdoor lab of a young neuroscientist who’s found that nature tests our physical and mental endurance in ways that expand creativity while taming burnout and anxiety; to the remote Alaskan backcountry on a demanding thirty-three-day hunting expedition to experience the rewilding secrets of one of the last rugged places on Earth; and more. Along the way, Easter uncovers a blueprint for leveraging the power of discomfort that will dramatically improve our health and happiness, and perhaps even help us understand what it means to be human. The Comfort Crisis is a bold call to break out of your comfort zone and explore the wild within yourself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Every sentence is a delight in this taut and thrilling debut by Willa Richards.’ Elizabeth Wetmore, author of Valentine ‘Richards has flipped the usual narrative, centring not on the crime itself but on the loss that ripples from it.’ New York Times Book Review A remarkable debut novel for fans of Mary Gaitskill and Gillian Flynn about two sisters – one who disappears and the other who is left to pick up the pieces. In the summer of 1991, teen Dee McBride vanished in the city of Milwaukee. It was the summer the Journal Sentinel dubbed ‘the deadliest . . . in the history of Milwaukee.’ Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s heinous crimes dominated the headlines and the disappearance of one girl was easily overlooked. 2019, nearly thirty years later, Dee's sister, Peg, is still haunted by her disappearance. Desperate to find out what happened to her, the family hire a psychic and Peg is plunged back into the past. But Peg’s hazy recollections are far from easy to interpret and digging deep into her memory raises terrifying questions. How much trust can we place in our own recollections? How often are our memories altered by the very act of speaking them aloud? And what does it mean to bear witness in a world where even our own stories about what happened are inherently suspect? A heartbreaking page-turner, Willa C. Richards’ debut novel is the story of a broken family looking for answers in the face of the unknown.
Book Synopsis Southern Comfort by : Allison Vines-Rushing
Download or read book Southern Comfort written by Allison Vines-Rushing and published by Ten Speed Press. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The much-anticipated debut cookbook from two of the most admired and innovative young chefs in the South, with 100 recipes featuring their refined, classically-inspired takes on the traditional Southern food they grew up with. Allison Vines-Rushing and Slade Rushing are two of the most admired and innovative young chefs in the South. Their distinctive brand of cooking is praised for its brilliant juxtaposition of rustic flavors with refined, classically inspired preparations. Southern Comfort is not only their much-anticipated debut cookbook, but also Allison and Slade’s personal story: their childhood food memories and family traditions growing up in Louisiana and Mississippi, how they met and fell in love in a New Orleans kitchen, and lessons learned working in top restaurants in San Francisco and New York. It also describes their bittersweet homecoming and the opening of their first restaurant just days before Hurricane Katrina hit. And perhaps most importantly, Southern Comfort shares Allison and Slade’s deep-rooted love for the area—its history, its cuisine, and its people—which inspired them to stay in New Orleans and keep cooking. These 100 recipes reflect Allison and Slade’s refreshing approach to regional cuisine, with its pitch-perfect blend of high and low. Dishes like Hush Puppies with Caviar, Sweet Tea–Roasted Duck in Date Sauce, and their legendary Oysters Rockefeller “Deconstructed” are modern in technique and execution, yet inspired by the traditions, ingredients, and down-home philosophy that make Southern food so appealing. At its heart, Southern Comfort is a celebration: of local ingredients, New Orleans’s vibrant food culture, and Allison and Slade’s shared Southern upbringing. Brimming with flavorful recipes and stories, it showcases the very best that the New South has to offer.
Download or read book Comfort written by Ilia Kavaja and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2016-03-30 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today more than ever before in human history, the dependency for comfort along with the indispensable necessity of moral, emotional and spiritual encouragement is in conflict with the iniquitous disposition of this present day society. The spirit of this world continues to resist and debilitate the divinely instilled organic appetite that is part of human original nature, personality and character. Even though the surrounding world tries to convince us as if we are unlovable, worthless and unforgivable, this volume will inspire our sensibleness so as to persist with the needed confidence, for finding or seeing the respectable extent of our own worth on the supreme pedestal of God’s given image and moral strength. We are exquisitely designed and divinely designated to remain everlastingly precious in love, goodness and reassurance. Even though our own heart tends to discourage and condemn us, this comforting volume will empower our vision to discern the true meaning and purpose of human existence, by authenticating the greatness of our value with eternity in view. The structure of human nature, character and personality would not be reliable pertaining to fundamental moral strength, lasting comfort and true happiness, unless exist a supreme purpose to appreciate the reason of holding on to such an objective. In actual fact, without this perpetual purpose along with love, faith and hope that galvanize our mind, heart and soul, there would not dwell the needed optimism for the author to initiate such painstaking descriptive work with the view to put in paper the proceeding five volumes of Authenticity, Comfort, Love, Perception and Dedication.
Book Synopsis The Philosopher Responds by : Abu Hayyan al-Tawhidi
Download or read book The Philosopher Responds written by Abu Hayyan al-Tawhidi and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions and answers from two great philosophers Why is laughter contagious? Why do mountains exist? Why do we long for the past, even if it is scarred by suffering? Spanning a vast array of subjects that range from the philosophical to the theological, from the philological to the scientific, The Philosopher Responds is the record of a set of questions put by the litterateur Abu Hayyan al-Tawhidi to the philosopher and historian Abu 'Ali Miskawayh. Both figures were foremost contributors to the remarkable flowering of cultural and intellectual life that took place in the Islamic world during the reign of the Buyid dynasty in the fourth/tenth century. The correspondence between al-Tawhidi and Miskawayh holds a mirror to many of the debates and preoccupations of the time and reflects the spirit of rationalistic inquiry that animated their era. It also provides insight into the intellectual outlooks of two thinkers who were divided as much by their distinctive temperaments as by the very different trajectories of their professional careers. Alternately whimsical and tragic, wondering and brooding, trivial and profound, al-Tawhidi’s questions provoke an interaction as interesting in its spiritedness as in its content. This new edition of The Philosopher Responds is accompanied by the first full-length English translation of this important text, bringing this interaction to life for the English reader.
