Sinopse

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.

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    "The Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula K. Le Guin tells the story of Genly Ai, an envoy from the Ekumen, who travels to the planet Gethen, also known as Winter, to invite them to join the interstellar alliance. Gethen is inhabited by ambisexual beings, a society very different from Genly's, and he struggles to understand their culture and gain their trust. The novel explores themes of cultural difference, communication, and the nature of gender, as Genly navigates the political landscape of the planet, marked by the rivalry between two nations, Karhide and Orgoreyn. The narrative follows Genly's journey as he attempts to establish a connection with the Gethenians and complete his mission, highlighting the importance of empathy and cross-cultural understanding.

    “Just like water seeks its own level, so does everything else, including idiots. I was one of those at that point in my life.” 
    When I Stop Fighting is an eye-opening, honest, unapologetic take on life. It’s about overcoming obstacles, overcoming addictions, and taking risks. 
    Sometimes we find ourselves in a place in life where we don’t want to be. For me, there is no more glamorous way to explain it than my head was in my ass. 
    I’m a regular guy with a regular upbringing. I’m not a Navy Seal, PhD, or retired politician. I came from a disciplined, blue-collar, mid-western household where our needs were met, but not many of our wants. There was no backup plan. I wasn’t getting an inheritance. 
    I was not living anything close to a productive, happy, fulfilling life. I was digging myself deeper into the quagmire of dysfunction, addiction to drugs and alcohol, hiding, fears, and dishonesty. Especially, dishonesty with myself. A self-imposed prison. I was moving ever closer to an end that would have been devastating. 
    A moment of honesty and clarity shone a flicker of hope and opened my eyes to the potential for a different way of approaching this gift we call life. 
    I started to become aware of what we all crave at one time or another. I wanted to be happy; I wanted peace and contentment; I wanted to be financially secure; I wanted to be free from my fears; I didn’t want to feel insecure and exposed; I wanted a different life. 
    As When I Stop Fighting explains: “I can be a victim of myself or a product of the work I do to become a better version of myself.” 
    Trying and failing on many occasions does not mean we should quit. It means figure it out. It means try again. It means acquire the humility to admit you don’t know. This is a journey about doing just that.

    Stress is an inevitable part of life, and everyone experiences it in different ways. It can be triggered by external factors, such as work pressures, relationship challenges, or financial difficulties, or it can stem from internal thoughts and perceptions. Understanding stress and its triggers is the first step toward managing it effectively. In this chapter, we will explore what stress is, how it impacts our well-being, and how we can recognize and understand the triggers that lead to stress. 
    At its core, stress is the body’s natural response to perceived threats or demands. When faced with a stressful situation, the body activates the "fight or flight" response, releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol that prepare us to take action. While this response is helpful in short bursts, prolonged stress can have serious consequences on both the mind and body. Chronic stress can lead to health problems such as anxiety, depression, digestive issues, and even heart disease. Recognizing when stress is becoming overwhelming is crucial for maintaining our health. 
    Triggers are the specific events, situations, or thoughts that set off the stress response. Triggers can vary from person to person, depending on their past experiences, personality, and current life circumstances. For one person, an argument with a loved one may be a significant trigger, while for someone else, the pressure of a looming deadline at work may be more stressful. By identifying and understanding our triggers, we can begin to take steps to manage them and prevent unnecessary stress.
