Crafting a Path Through Illness - Exploring creativity while chronically ill

Germaine Hypher

Sinossi

An accessible, encouraging and inspirational self-help book that unites a broad selection of creative pursuits with the subject of living well with chronic illness. Crafting a Path through Illness offers ways to live an enjoyable, meaningful life despite chronic ill health and shares how the associated experiences and perspectives can have a valuable impact on creative output. It is both a how-to and a why-to for living creatively with chronic illness. Through its many insights: * Learn how arts and crafts can affect your physical and mental health. * Discover how the arts have been used alongside medicine over the centuries. * Feel inspired by other disabled and chronically ill artists and crafters, past and present. * Be guided in how to connect creatively with the space around you and the wider world, including other people, when isolated by illness. * Find tools, hacks and suggestions for making creativity more accessible to you. * Have a go at the suggested ideas and projects. Chronic illness is, by definition, ongoing. Patients need to find ways to be fulfilled and live well amidst their symptoms. Not only does this book offer ways to achieve that but it also shows how living with the experiences and perspectives of ill health can have a valuable impact on creative output and the uses that can have within the wider community.

The Holocaust of Attachment

A. Parthasarathy

The lack of intellect has caused the mind’s attachment to spouses, children, wealth, religion, practically everything. The virus of attachment has reached epidemic proportions and the world is in a state of emergency. Yet none seems to recognise the problem, much less tackle it. The solution lies in a concerted effort worldwide to resurrect the fallen intellect. A powerful intellect alone would destroy the virus and generate peace and harmony in the society.

Know Who You Are - Discovering...

Antoine Walker

Choosing the appropriate book is not just an act of diversion, but a profound decision that can alter the direction of a person's life and throughout eternity. Within the pages of reading the right book lies the potential for trans-formative knowledge that is filled with enlightenment, shifting perspectives, and igniting flames of inspiration that burn bright within the essence of the soul. It's not merely about reading words; it's about embracing the wisdom, empathy, and insight intertwined into every sentence, allowing it to seep into the depths of one's consciousness that will leave an unforgettable mark. Indeed, the right book has the power to reshape as well as cultivate a person's mindset, guiding them on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and edification that transcends the extremity of time and space that will echo into the universe, resonating deep within the chambers of the heart forever."

Heart to Heart - A Conversation...

Dalai Lama, Patrick McDonnell

From His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Mutt’s cartoonist and award-winning author Patrick McDonnell comes a powerful and timely gem of a book on how to heal our relationship with the planet and each other. 
At the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, India, an unusual visitor has arrived. His Holiness interrupts his morning meditation to greet a troubled Giant Panda who has travelled many miles to see him. Welcoming him as a friend, His Holiness invites the Panda on a walk through a cedar forest. There in the shadow of the Himalayas, surrounded by beauty, they discuss matters great and small . . . 
With a galvanizing message about the future of our planet, Heart to Heart calls for a Compassionate Revolution, reminding us that “we are indeed all members of a single family, sharing one little house.” Told with whimsy, wisdom, and warmth, this beautiful book is deceptively simple in its approach and all the more powerful for it, as it elegantly and decisively conveys a message of joy, hope and change. 
“There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday, and one is called Tomorrow.”

How One Idea Increased My Income...

Frank Bettger

This booklet contains a talk that Frank Bettger used to give before our classes in New York. When he wrote the book entitled How I Raised Myself From Failure to Success in Selling, he used and expanded this talk for a chapter of his book.May I suggest to all salesmen taking our course that you borrow a copy from your public library. Better still, buy a copy at your local bookstore or send your order direct to the publisher. How I Learned the Secrets of Success in Selling is an inspiring book, a practical book. I can recommend it with enthusiasm. When I started out to sell I would gladly have walked from Chicago to New York to get a copy of this book if it had been available at that time. That statement may sound like an exaggeration, but I mean it literally.

In the Black - Changing the...

T. Dallas Smith

With In the Black, T. Dallas Smith identifies the centrality of honest and open relationships to success within the world of high-dollar commercial real estate deals. His advice to “build relationships before you need them” is complemented by personal stories highlighting the importance of identifying one’s advocates. Smith is keen to recognize the people — some of them sense-making and some of them unexpected — who helped lift him up in a field the primary practice of which has been to reject diversity among its practitioners. Smith shows how making one’s way in an industry that has historically rejected Black men and women may be challenging but is in no way impossible. His own story is proof that one can both be a trailblazer and use one’s hard-won position to open doors for others.
