Sinopsis

In this deeply contemplative and profoundly personal work Marshall Sashkin journeys through the mysteries of time, the complexities of life, and the enduring power of love. Each of the book’s four sections begins with an original poem by Anthony Clemons. Then, drawing on personal experience, classical and modern philosophy, historical sources, and great literature, Sashkin goes on to offer a poignant exploration of what it means, personally as well as intellectually, to live fully, to face mortality and to create meaning in the face of life’s inevitable challenges.Through vivid storytelling and thoughtful reflection, A Long and Happy Life invites the reader to pause and consider the essence of personal existence. Through poetry and prose on the flowing streams of time, the nature of life, and the connections we build with others, the author weaves together insights from philosophers, poets, and modern thinkers with his reflections on intimate moments from a life well-lived and thoughtfully examined.

    Society disables us more than autism ever could 
     
    Virginia’s son Danny has a way of lighting up a room. He’s warm, personable and has an infectious laugh. He forms lasting relationships and has known his best friend since they were little. He is also nonverbal and autistic, and requires round-the-clock care and a liquid diet. And for this reason, there are many who would rather not encounter Danny. 
     
    Challenging the view that autism is something that needs to be ‘cured’, Virginia Bovell testifies to the extraordinary care Danny has received for over 30 years and the everyday kindness and decency of the people – ‘the band of angels’ – that surround him. She asks us to consider what makes a thriving individual versus an inadequate one; what it means to be ill versus what it means to not to conform; what roles society values and rewards; and how humans might flourish outside of failing political and economic systems.

    Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you were more socially confident or charismatic? 
    From early on in our lives, a lot of emphases has been put into academic ability and its relation to our success or lack of it. 
    While academic ability can be important, it is now believed that in reality, it is our ability to adapt to our social environment the better predictor of our future success in several areas of our lives, even more so than anything we learn in school. 
    Here's some of what you can expect to learn inside the pages of this book: 
    -Discover how to effectively eliminate social anxiety for good. 
    -A step-by-step process that will help you stay motivated and reach your social skills goals. 
    -How to become more assertive. 
    -The keys to develop charismatic traits and develop a magnetic personality. 
    -The best ways to develop body language to make others feel pay you more attention and feel more comfortable in your presence. 
    It’s common to think that social skills are only useful for making friends, but in reality, they affect our ability to function properly in many areas of our day to day lives. 
    It may seem that some people are simply born charismatic, likable, and with a great set of social skills, but most are capable of developing these attributes. 
    Regardless of your personality, there are certain things you can practice in your day to day life to modify your behaviour and make you seem more trustworthy, influential and charming in your social interactions. 
    There is no better time to start the journey towards an improved quality of life. Start your journey towards becoming a 'social ninja' today!
