What happens next? After the diagnosis? After the medication? After you learn to live with it, – do you ever? Following on from The Memoir of a Schizophrenic, this is a raw and honest second memoir by Karl Lorenz Willett, which continues to explore life managing schizophrenia while growing older. In a unique style that reflects Karl’s thoughts, A Good Life concentrates on his mental illness, personal struggles, and how faith in a higher power has influenced his journey. Although there is advice that medical practitioners might find helpful, most of Karl’s experiences are meant for his comrades and readers unfamiliar with what living with the illness could entail. Karl offers his unique insights on consciousness, the mind’s eye, theology, sociology, and cosmology. He also focuses on more personal matters, such as relationships and personal growth. Ultimately, A Good Life delivers an inspiring message of hope, resilience, and understanding to its readers. It highlights a healing journey and the overall process of finding balance inside and out, from which anyone can benefit.Voir livre

'Fascinating and lyrical . . . A beautifully written celebration of a lifelong passion' – Stephen Venables The relationship of people with hills and mountains has been complex, rich and varied – from awe and wonder to fear and loathing, from spiritual longing to peaceful acceptance. As he explores our high places, Ian Crofton conjures up those who have been there before: Neolithic axe-makers, mass trespassers, shepherds, quarrymen, botanists, poets and pioneering cragsmen and women among them. At the same time, he is ever attuned to the present moment – a flash of bright moss in a bog, the swoop of an eagle above a skyline, a winter sun sinking into a sea of cloud. Following an arc from the gentle Downs of southern England to the wild peaks of Scotland's far north, Upland combines personal experiences with a keen curiosity about the history and nature of mountain landscapes, and the people who once worked and wandered among them. The result is a meditation on the enduring yet ever-changing hills, on the transience of human experience, and on the shifts and twists of time itself. Locations included: - Chilterns (following The Ridgeway) - Malverns - Snowdon - Peak District - Pennines - Lake District - Ben Nevis - The Cuillin, Skye - Assynt (Suilven) - CairngormsVoir livre
Shadows in the Dark by Marcus Hale is a journey into the chilling stories of ten lesser-known serial killers who escaped the spotlight yet left a trail of terror and tragedy. With meticulous research and haunting detail, Hale uncovers the lives of these "hidden" killers—men and women who exploited society's blind spots, targeting the vulnerable while slipping through the cracks of justice. Each chapter reveals the unsettling truths behind killers like the "Silent Tormentor," a nurse who took lives rather than saving them, or the "Widowmaker," who preyed on elderly tenants for profit. This book doesn't just recount their crimes; it examines how each managed to operate for years undetected, the societal failings that allowed them to evade capture, and the impact on families whose loved ones were forgotten by history. Through Shadows in the Dark, Marcus Hale provides a powerful, unflinching look at the underbelly of human nature, reminding readers that sometimes the most terrifying monsters are those we never see coming.Voir livre
