Synopsis

What does it mean to obsess about clothes and appearances? For some of us, deciding what to wear can involve tension and torment as well as delight. What do we mean by 'looking classy' or 'power dressing'? What are the connections – or contradictions – between dress and desire, glamour and feminism? Do our choices reflect or challenge social values and constraints in women's lives?


Appearances is both memoir and cultural history. It considers attitudes to personal appearance through four generations of women in the author's family, weaving memory through a wide-ranging exploration of fashion, femininity and feminism in the recent past.

    This is the story of how I went from feeling like a failure on a regular basis and feeling like I could never achieve my goals, to finding recovery and purpose that, for years, I thought was impossible. For nearly 20 years I struggled with pornography, relationships, and even finances, and now, with the help of many meaningful people, I find myself on the other side of all of these, experiencing success that I could only ever dream of before. If you are struggling with addiction, self-doubt, or failure in any of these areas, my hope is that this book will give you inspiration and direction.My wife, Gina, adds her perspective starting on page 50 - You don't want to miss this! Enjoy, feel inspired, and when in doubt avoid toxic perfectionism and Lower the Bar (at least a little)!

    The Envy in YOU the Envy in ME!...

    Envy, being arguably the deadliest of the seven deadly sins is a sin that gives none of us any pleasure. If you are like me then you have probably envied others for their talents, achievements and successes. But hey, I think this is kind of a natural human trait too, because those unhealthy emotions that it stirs up inside of us leaves us with two options on how we can deal with them: Live a petty, jealous and envious life that is controlled by these nasty emotions or break free from them and feel inspired by those people that you envy. Although the latter option is never going to be the easy one to choose, because by doing so, we will be confronted with other envious people because let's face it, we live in an envious world that wants nothing more than to see us fail. 
    But after living for over half my life in one of the happiest nations in the world I have stumbled upon a few secrets of how one can go about living life free from envy's deadly crutches! 
    In this book, I share these secrets, which to be honest aren't really secrets at all...more like common sense. I simplify and organize them into what I suppose one could call the "Ten commandments of living a life Envy free". No, not in a biblical sense... But more like a healthy way of living, where one can live ones life free and in love with the process of exploring ones potential. 
    So Let's dig IN!

    This little guide is written for those interested in approaching the topic of "Energetic Healing" for the first time. Join me on a journey into the world of the holistic, energetic way of seeing and healing, the ideas of the energetic healers about the structure of our universe and the human being as an energetic being.In this small book I would like to give you a first insight into the world of energetic healing. We dive into the world of energy and information, into the human image of energetic healers, look at scientific attempts to explain the how and what of our world and the thinking of healers.Visualize with me some different ways to stimulate, support and direct our self-healing powers.If the scientific explanation models seem too theoretical for you, you are not interested in them or you have an aversion to physics and models, then please just keep on scrolling. I will try to bring you closer to the subject even without these models and maybe, if you should discover energetic healing as a possible way for yourself, one day the need will develop in you to learn more about the possible "behind". One just does, another wants to understand in order to be able to fully surrender to things. Whatever type you are, what counts is to go HIS way. There is no right and no wrong, only done or only thought.
