  From lauded writer and teacher Matt Bell, Refuse to Be Done is encouraging and intensely practical, focusing always on specific rewriting tasks, techniques, and activities for every stage of the process.

The third and final section offers a layered approach to polishing through a checklist of operations, breaking the daunting project of final revisions into many small, achievable tasks.

  "I am Mathilde, alias Mathilda. I am 37 years old and I prostitute myself to be a free woman. I have been an executive assistant, a sales manager in media, a communication manager for an employers' confederation and a company director in business aviation. But I was a precarious woman, being used for a low price, like a great majority of women in France. In parallel to my work activities, I became an escort to get out of my social condition and not be a free and disposable object anymore. I have been leading this double life for 10 years in Lyon; and today men, but also women, respect me for what I am. I like this life and I embrace it fully."
  Like 5% to 10% prostitutes in France (and certainly many more), Mathilde engages in this profession freely and without constraint, to no longer be the prey of males and a patriarchal society. Free, authentic and without pretense, she takes the reader on a journey of discovery of a profession that fascinates and that no one talks about in this way. With a provocative but always human tone, she reveals with strength and fragility her non-conformist universe and her atypical personality. From her family to her friends, from her lovers to her clients, from her jobs to her first trick, Mathilde shares her way of life openly because her reality does not need to be hidden.

  The Book of Memory - How We...

  A brilliant journey through the nature of memory, helping us understand how what is lost—and what is remembered—shapes who we are.In this revelatory and intimate exploration of the way memory works, Mark Rowlands, author of The Philosopher and the Wolf, reveals how memories aren’t fixed. They soften and consolidate—and are distorted—each time we revisit them, even those memories most deeply ingrained. The way we call on memory is closer to a "negotiation with the past."From episodic memories like "shining islands in dark waters" and forgotten "Rilkean" memories that underpin our personalities and essential style to the memories we might hold that have been authored by others close to us, The Book of Memory draws on philosophical argument, a range of writers and thinkers, the latest neurological research, and psychology experiments to chart how memories are made, lost and remembered, with important consequences for how we understand ourselves.

  Tao Te Ching" is a foundational text of Taoism, attributed to the legendary sage Laozi. This ancient Chinese classic presents profound insights into the nature of existence, the principles of harmony, and the path to living in accordance with the Tao, or the Way. 
  Composed of 81 short chapters, "Tao Te Ching" offers poetic and enigmatic verses that invite deep contemplation. Laozi emphasizes the concept of Wu Wei (non-action), advocating for naturalness, simplicity, and alignment with the flow of the universe. The text delves into themes of humility, spontaneity, and the balance between opposites, such as yin and yang. 
  Lionel Giles' translation, first published in 1904, brings the essence of Laozi's teachings to English-speaking readers, preserving the cryptic beauty and philosophical richness of the original text. "Tao Te Ching" continues to inspire seekers of wisdom and seekers of spiritual enlightenment across cultures and generations.
