Book Description
Gurmeher, a talented and lively young girl truly was a free spirited child with the deep-set eyes of a wolf, soul of an owl and winged spirit of a Garuda bird. The clear sky was her domain. She chose to see beyond that which was shown to her by society. She knew she was never cut from the same loincloth as the rest of the comrades and never desired to be the same. She was destined to BE and DO something Extraordinary with her life. She wanted to be her own unique gemstone. She beat many odds physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually through her exponential journey of REBRANDING, by being her own artisan. Join her as she shares her escapades and the realizations she learnt on the importance of self-actualization, the power of prayer and manifestation as well as the 5Ps she held on tight through this learning phase. She pruned through wealth of self-improvement information and created her own recipe of abundant happiness with techniques and a mental attitude that resonated with her. Her take-home message is; Ones definition of oneself evolves as one embraces the concept of being a student of life. It sheds the hard shell called ego and embraces serendipity. -Be Your Own Dandelion-

The Orchid and the Dandelion
Author: W. Thomas Boyce MD
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 1101946571
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
"Based on groundbreaking research that has the power to change the lives of countless children--and the adults who love them." --Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts. A book that offers hope and a pathway to success for parents, teachers, psychologists, and child development experts coping with difficult children. In Tom Boyce's extraordinary new book, he explores the "dandelion" child (hardy, resilient, healthy), able to survive and flourish under most circumstances, and the "orchid" child (sensitive, susceptible, fragile), who, given the right support, can thrive as much as, if not more than, other children. Boyce writes of his pathfinding research as a developmental pediatrician working with troubled children in child-development research for almost four decades, and explores his major discovery that reveals how genetic make-up and environment shape behavior. He writes that certain variant genes can increase a person's susceptibility to depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and antisocial, sociopathic, or violent behaviors. But rather than seeing this "risk" gene as a liability, Boyce, through his daring research, has recast the way we think of human frailty, and has shown that while these "bad" genes can create problems, they can also, in the right setting and the right environment, result in producing children who not only do better than before but far exceed their peers. Orchid children, Boyce makes clear, are not failed dandelions; they are a different category of child, with special sensitivities and strengths, and need to be nurtured and taught in special ways. And in The Orchid and the Dandelion, Boyce shows us how to understand these children for their unique sensibilities, their considerable challenges, their remarkable gifts.

A Touch of Innocence
Author: Katherine Dunham
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226171128
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
An internationally known dancer, choreographer, and gifted anthropologist, Katherine Dunham was born to a black American tailor and a well-to-do French Canadian woman twenty years his senior. This book is Dunham's story of the chaos and conflict that entered her childhood after her mother's early death. In stark prose, she tells of growing up in both black and white households and of the divisions of race and class in Chicago that become the harsh realities of her young life. A riveting narrative of one girl's struggle to transcend the painful confusions of a family and culture in turmoil, Dunham's story is full of the clarity, candor, and intelligence that lifted her above her troubled beginnings. "A Touch of Innocence is an absorbing family chronicle written with a gift for physical detail sometimes too real for comfort. In quietly graphic prose the growing girl, the slightly older brother, the ambitious father and the kind stepmother are pictured in such human terms that when their lives get tied into harder and harder knots beyond their undoing, one can only continue to read helplessly as doom closes in upon the household."—Langston Hughes, New York Herald Tribune "A Touch of Innocence is one of the most extraordinary life stories I have ever read . . . . The content of this book is so heartbreaking that only the strongest artistic skills can keep it from leaking out into sobbing self-pity, but Katherine Dunham's art contains it, understands it and refuses to be overwhelmed by its terrors."—Elizabeth Janeway, New York Times "The first eighteen years of the famous dancer and choreographer's life are brought vividly to the reader in this first volume of her autobiography. She writes of what it is like to be a special, gifted young woman growing up in a racially mixed family in the American Middle West. A beautiful, touching and sometimes discomforting book."—Publishers Weekly "As writing it is honest, searing, graphic and touching, giving us a rather heartbreaking early view of the young American Negro who was later to make a name for herself as a dancer and choreographer."—Arthur Todd, Saturday Review
