Summary

How Children Succeed: by Paul Tough | Key Takeaways, Analysis & Review
 
 How Children Succeed by Paul Tough is a journalistic review of the most recent research connecting success in adulthood with character development in childhood, and the programs that use character to motivate and teach low-performing children to become high achievers. Most school curricula and measures of future success for children are historically rooted in cognitive indicators like math ability, language skills, and critical thinking. While those indicators are significant factors in future success, even children who score high in cognitive indicators struggle if they have low non-cognitive indicator scores. Non-cognitive indicators, including conscientiousness and grit, are also known as character traits.

    If you've ever felt like your life is out of control, if you've ever felt like no matter what you do, it's just not enough, then this book is for you. Forced To Be Here is an intimate look at the life of a rock star and his wife, Jenny who struggled with depression. The book describes the couple's journey through depression, and isolation. In this story, Jenny finds herself struggling to live in a world she never wanted to be a part of – and never agreed to be a part of. She feels alienated as she tries to go on with her daily life, forced to live in a place she never wanted to be in. Mental health awareness is a recurring theme for this book and the truth is it is something that is needed now more than ever before! There are so many stories out there right now of people who have gone through mental health issues or suicide attempts or thoughts - it's up to us as their friends and family members to be there for them by listening when they need us most. You will find yourself feeling connected to the characters. You will see yourself in the situations they are in and feel why Jenny felt like she was forced to be here.

    The Autists - Women on the Spectrum

    An incisive and deeply candid account that explores autistic women in culture, myth, and society through the prism of the author's own diagnosis.Until the 1980s, autism was regarded as a condition found mostly in boys. Even in our time, autistic girls and women have largely remained undiagnosed. When portrayed in popular culture, women on the spectrum often appear simply as copies of their male counterparts—talented and socially awkward.Yet autistic women exist, and always have. They are varied in their interests and in their experiences. Autism may be relatively new as a term and a diagnosis, but not as a way of being and functioning in the world. It has always been part of the human condition. So who are these women, and what does it mean to see the world through their eyes?In The Autists, Clara Törnvall reclaims the language to describe autism and explores the autistic experience in arts and culture throughout history. From popular culture, films, and photography to literature, opera, and ballet, she dares to ask what it might mean to re-read these works through an autistic lens—what we might discover if we allow perspectives beyond the neurotypical to take center stage.

    Steiner describes polarities of illness and courses of treatment from a comprehensive analysis. He considers many cases and gives indications on therapeutic exercises, diet and medicine, how the 'I' relates directly to the physical body, and spirit and soul need to be taken into consideration when making diagnoses. Revolutionary in its approach, the far-reaching perspectives of these lectures are a living source of inspiration to both professionals, parents and others seeking spiritual insight.
