Book Description
"Me-We" Wins is about women discovering who God created them to be, their inner "Me," and improving their lives reflectively. This process involves pulling back the many layers women have developed to hide/protect their "Me" from the potential pain of being vulnerable in their "We" relationships. She is forced to hide her "Me" and yet function daily as a partner of her "We" relationships in families, friendships, careers, marriages, and interactions with God. Each chapter addresses the various issues that may arise in the relationships and the positive versus negative reactions of her "Me." A workbook is included to help you personally connect and explore the details outlined in each chapter. At the onset of the book, we explore who your "Me" is by identifying talents, gifts, and godly desires, as well as the negative distractions interfering with your "Me," evolving into all she was created to become. The focus is on discovering and enjoying your "Me" and, in turn, getting to know God as your creator. This book is a tool for women desiring to live their best life through the self-discovery of their internal, God-given power enabling them to win as "Me" and as a partner in "We."

Book Description
A NPR, Electric Lit, and Entropy Best Book of the Year A Washington Post, Shondaland, NPR Books, Parade, Lit Hub, PureWow, Harper’s Bazaar, PopSugar, NYLON, Alta, Ms. Magazine, Debutiful and Good Housekeeping Best Book of Fall A perceptive and powerful debut of identity and belonging—of a young woman determined to be seen. Willa Chen has never quite fit in. Growing up as a biracial Chinese American girl in New Jersey, Willa felt both hypervisible and unseen, too Asian to fit in at her mostly white school, and too white to speak to the few Asian kids around. After her parents’ early divorce, they both remarried and started new families, and Willa grew up feeling outside of their new lives, too. For years, Willa does her best to stifle her feelings of loneliness, drifting through high school and then college as she tries to quiet the unease inside her. But when she begins working for the Adriens—a wealthy white family in Tribeca—as a nanny for their daughter, Bijou, Willa is confronted with all of the things she never had. As she draws closer to the family and eventually moves in with them, Willa finds herself questioning who she is, and revisiting a childhood where she never felt fully at home. Self-examining and fraught with the emotions of a family who fails and loves in equal measure, Win Me Something is a nuanced coming-of-age debut about the irreparable fissures between people, and a young woman who asks what it really means to belong, and how she might begin to define her own life.

Work Won't Love You Back
Author: Sarah Jaffe
Publisher: Bold Type Books
ISBN: 1568589387
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
A deeply-reported examination of why "doing what you love" is a recipe for exploitation, creating a new tyranny of work in which we cheerily acquiesce to doing jobs that take over our lives. You're told that if you "do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." Whether it's working for "exposure" and "experience," or enduring poor treatment in the name of "being part of the family," all employees are pushed to make sacrifices for the privilege of being able to do what we love. In Work Won't Love You Back, Sarah Jaffe, a preeminent voice on labor, inequality, and social movements, examines this "labor of love" myth—the idea that certain work is not really work, and therefore should be done out of passion instead of pay. Told through the lives and experiences of workers in various industries—from the unpaid intern, to the overworked teacher, to the nonprofit worker and even the professional athlete—Jaffe reveals how all of us have been tricked into buying into a new tyranny of work. As Jaffe argues, understanding the trap of the labor of love will empower us to work less and demand what our work is worth. And once freed from those binds, we can finally figure out what actually gives us joy, pleasure, and satisfaction.

I WANT IT (now that, should win me the Booker)
Author: Anupam Dhyani
Publisher: Rigi Publication
ISBN: 8192131114
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
I WANT IT (now that, should win me the Booker) is a story which is told because it needs to be told, there is no other choice. The premise of the story is the idea that the easiest way to get something is to ask for it. Having a will to do something unique and not having a fear of rejection drives Raju, a confused Indian teenager, to fulfill his dreams. Challenging the Man Booker Prize committee in a hilariously pungent way, the protagonist sets foot in an unfamiliar territory. Equipped with hope, simplicity and brilliance, this story points out subtly to the unique manner in which any "want" is to be fulfilled. Asking profound questions in the likes of: what does a person do when he wants something so badly that he is willing to do anything for it? What happens when one loses and regains faith intermittently in his journey? Does destiny overrule human will? Spanning two and a half decades, three cities and two countries, this story could possibly point to the answers of some of these profound questions that each person comes across in the journey of life. Provocative yet honest, contemporary yet carrying the ingredients of deeply ingrained cultural stereotypes , the story of Raju is every Indian teenager's story. A story of want, a story of unrelenting faith in human will. Blunt and bold, the narrative's pungently hilarious character reveals the indignation rooted in people.
