Book Description
This candid and vividly written autobiography of an Essex working class girl in the immediate post-War period, together with its description of her family background, presents a valuable social history of the milieu and private life in which she was nurtured. The deprivation and poverty of the 1930s was carried through to the 1950s - and of course was exacerbated by the struggle and misfortunes of the Second World War. As this book shows clearly, lack of money or proper housing is deterministic for good or ill in influencing human behaviour and relationships, and it therefore follows that measuring blame for consequent wrongdoing is difficult to determine. Shirley comes through as a girl of spirit and independence, who is not easily going to be crushed by adversity, or injustice at the hands of others. Her response of rebelliousness is commendable in the face of difficulties with which she is confronted, but when she then becomes involved with the Teddy Boy culture of the time, and then with the worst element of the sordid back street life of the East End, she pulls herself back from the brink just in time. Her description of pimps with all their devious ingenuity, and the filth and grime of an East End brothel and its inmates, is horrific and unforgettable, and places this book as a unique document of social history. Together with her own efforts, in conjunction with the Courts system and the welfare authorities of the time, she finally pulls herself through towards a new and better life. This book, written in its distinctively idiosyncratic style, makes a gripping read.

Anxiety
Author: Gail A. Barrett
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1999525027
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Anxiety is epidemic and it touches people from all walks of life, knowing no age, gender, ethnic, or economic boundaries. It can be paralyzing while considerably narrowing the scope of your life. This book provides practical, holistic, easily understood strategies for all ages, presented through storytelling and the sharing of real experiences. You will discover the benefits of cognitive behavioral work (yes, your thinking and behavior do matter!) and learn how to let go of control, stop what-iffing, set boundaries, calm your body, and stop stewing - all to help you alleviate your anxiety. You will discover the importance of effective strategies such as visualization, mindfulness and meditation, self-care, and the practice of gratitude. The author believes that anxiety is impacted by our life experience and the manipulation of our DNA at the cellular level, but more importantly, that it is largely a learned behavior. The good news is this: what you have learned you can unlearn - and then you can learn something new! As you move through this book you will be gently coached to befriend and then let go of your anxiety, creating lasting change.
