Beschreibung

Named One of "The Essential Books for Writing"  (The Center for Fiction) and One of "The Best Books for Writers" (Poets & Writers) 
“In the spirit of Annie Dillard's The Writing Life, Friedman...gives heartfelt counsel to those who need to be coaxed into the creative process."—Washington Post 
An indispensable guide for writers that explores the emotional side of writing and offers insightful advice on overcoming writer’s block, procrastination, guilt, and more.  
 
 
Charting the emotional side of the writer's life, Writing Past Dark is a writing companion to reach for when you feel lost and want to regain access to the memories, images, and the ideas inside you that are the fuel of strong writing. 
Combining personal narrative and other writers' experiences, Bonnie Friedman explores a whole array of emotions and dilemmas writers face—envy, distraction, guilt, and writer's block—and shares the clues that can set you free so that you can write the book you’ve always dreamed of writing.     
Supportive, intimate, and reflective, Writing Past Dark is a comfort and resource for all writers. 
"Friedman has saved many a writer's career with this one, and as my thank-you to her for writing it, I mention it to any and all readers and writers.  Get a copy of this for your bookshelf." -- Literary Mama

    Are you worried about your child’s ability to cope with the stress and pressures of today’s fast-paced and frenzied world? As a parent, guardian, caregiver, you obviously want your child to grow up into a confident, creative, focused, and stress-free soul. You want them to be well-behaved, well-adjusted, and confident children who can manage their emotions and deal with stress. Just like a seed needs water, fertilizers, warm sunlight, and care to grow, your child needs plenty of care and nurturing to transform into a healthy, happy, successful, and well-adjusted individual. There really is no shortcut for this. After the introduction of a mindfulness program for preschoolers by UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center, it was noticed that mindfulness and meditation boosted a child’s memory, in addition to their ability to plan, think, and organize. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Meditation has plenty of other benefits for children and adults alike. This book on guided visualization aims to reduce their stress and anxiety to transform your little ones into confident, focused, positive, and happy beings. It strives to enhance their power of creativity and imagination. Every child is gifted with the power of imagination and visualization, and our ready-to-use scripts will equip you with the best tools needed to make them feel more relaxed, confident, and de-stressed. It will also help improve their power of concentration and focus, which is beneficial for learning and skill development.

    There is a steady stream of articles and books about 'miraculous' cures from the chronic illnesses that face us in the 21st century: autoimmune conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis; neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's, MS and Alzheimer's; and many cancers. But if all these individual cases are brought together and reviewed systematically, something much more practical and less miraculous emerges – a set of principles to guide us to better health and a greater chance of recovery. Dr Jerry Thompson draws on an immense range of case histories and research studies to show how what we eat, the toxic load we carry, the environmental electromagnetic fields we live in, and our beliefs and attitudes to health and illness can change the course of disease. The result is a practical guide to what we can learn from 'survivors' about how to improve our chances of good health and recovery.

    Pete Earley had no idea. He'd been a journalist for over thirty years, and the author of several award-winning-even bestselling-nonfiction books about crime and punishment and society. Yet he'd always been on the outside looking in. He had no idea what it was like to be on the inside looking out until his son, Mike, was declared mentally ill, and Earley was thrown headlong into the maze of contradictions, disparities, and catch-22s that is America's mental health system.The more Earley dug, the more he uncovered the bigger picture: Our nation's prisons have become our new mental hospitals. Crazy tells two stories. The first is his son's. The second describes what Earley learned during a yearlong investigation inside the Miami-Dade County jail, where he was given complete, unrestricted access. There, and in the surrounding community, he shadowed inmates and patients; interviewed correctional officers, public defenders, prosecutors, judges, mental-health professionals, and the police; talked with parents, siblings, and spouses; consulted historians, civil rights lawyers, and legislators. The result is both a remarkable piece of investigative journalism, and a wake-up call-a portrait that could serve as a snapshot of any community in America.
