Book Description
Both nature and the human life follow a cyclic pattern where nothing seems to last forever. The pleasure and pain, happiness and sadness, birth and death, honor and dishonor, prosperity and poverty, spring and fall, all follow a cyclic pattern. If you have one today, you shall have the other tomorrow. That is the reality of life. No one can escape it. The Irrelevant You is a guide on how to deal with difficult situations in life, how to avoid divorce; how to handle isolation at home and in the office, how to live with less and excesses, and how to face life and death with dignity and lead a happy life even under painful conditions. Always remember, there is no one like you in the entire universe, and you can remain relevant, all through your life, if you follow some simple rules of life. The most important: Accept imperfections as the natural traits of human life and conduct yourself in a selfless manner. The book explores the various faculties of our minds and how one can harness the abundant energy available within us and solve even the most complex problems of life.

Slackonomics
Author: Lisa Chamberlain
Publisher: Da Capo Press
ISBN: 0306817608
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Generation X grew up in the 1980s, when Alex P. Keaton was going to be a millionaire by the time he was thirty, greed was good, and social activism was deader than disco. Then globalization and the technological revolution came along, changing everything for a generation faced with bridging the analog and digital worlds. Living in a time of "creative destruction" -- when an old economic order is upended by a new one -- has deeply affected everyday life for this generation; from how they work, where they live, how they play, when they marry and have children to their attitudes about love, humor, happiness, and personal fulfillment. Through a sharp and entertaining mix of pop and alt-culture, personal narrative, and economic analysis, author Lisa Chamberlain shows how Generation X has survived and even thrived in the era of creative destruction, but will now be faced with solving economic and environmental problems on a global scale.

Psychology and Policing
Author: Neil Brewer
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1134780508
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
Psychological theory and research have much to contribute to the knowledge and skill bases underlying effective policing. Much of the relevant information, however, is dispersed across a variety of different psychological and criminal justice/policing journals and seldom integrated for those applied psychologists interested in policing issues or for police policymakers/administrators and others working in the criminal justice area who are not familiar with the psychological literature. Designed to accommodate the needs of these different groups, this book addresses both operational policing issues and issues relevant to the improvement of organizational functioning by providing integrative reviews of psychological theory and research that deal with effective policing. It illustrates how the theory and research reviewed are relevant to specific policing practices. These include eyewitness testimony, conflict resolution, changing driver behavior, controlling criminal behavior, effective interviewing, and techniques of face reconstruction. The volume's readable style makes it accessible to a diverse audience including undergraduate and postgraduate students in forensic/organizational/applied psychology, criminal justice, and police science programs, and police administrators and policymakers. It will also interest psychologists whose primary focus includes policing and criminal justice issues. The book should draw attention to the often unrecognized and valuable contribution that mainstream psychology can make to the knowledge base underpinning a wide variety of policing practices.

A Trilogy of Hope
Author: Celia Perryman
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1496910524
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Following on from a childhood where I was loved at home, but didn't fit in at school and never really felt like I belonged anywhere, I became depressed and suicidal at age 12 and spent much of my teenage years medicated and in therapy, questioning the point of my existence and wondering whether the world would be better off without me. I wrote my first book, "I've Got Something to Say: Alone and Screaming in the Darkness" at the age of 16 because, although I didn't exactly have any answers, I wanted to reach out to others so they wouldn't feel so alone. I decided there and then, that if I ever did find any answers then I would write more books. And that is what I have done. I wrote my second book, "Maybe We Are All Relevant: At Times I Can See the Light" at the age of 20, and the third and final part of this trilogy, "And Now I Know Why: A Life of Sunshine, Storms and Rainbows" at the age of 32. I have decided to publish my three books together as "A Trilogy of Hope: My Journey Out of the Depths of Teenage Despair", so that I can share my whole journey with you and to give you and others hope in seeing that it really is possible to go from the absolute depths of despair to leading a life in which there is love, light and joy, where I have found some meaning to my existence and all the pain I have been through seems worth it because it has led me to where I am today. I feel honoured to be sharing my story with you and I hope that my words can be of some comfort to you and bring you hope for a happier future. Things will get better. You are going to be okay. I am thinking of you. With love, Celia.

If you don't like the taste of something you've cooked, it's important to learn from the experience and figure out what went wrong.

This may involve learning new skills, developing new habits, or changing your mindset.
