Desiderata
Author: Max Ehrmann
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781740514569
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
Written 75 years ago, Desiderata achieved fame as the anthem of the sixties' hippie-dom - the subject of many millions of posters and handbills - and famously narrated by Les Crane in his 1971 song version of the poem. Over the years Desiderata has provided a kind and gentle philosophy, a refreshing perspective on life's bigger picture. This new presentation of the prose poem will bring it to the attention of a new generation. The origins of Desiderata were, for many years, shrouded in mystery. Once thought to have originated from St. Paul's Church in Baltimore, Maryland in the seventeenth century it was later discovered that American poet Max Ehrmann had written it in 1927. Presented in a refreshingly modern design, Desiderata will appeal to a younger generation looking to find the meaning of life, and to baby-boomers who'll recall Desiderata from their youth.

Yes I've Made Mistakes
Author: Daroun Maurice Jamison
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780692613290
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
In what he describes as "probably the darkest period of my life," Daroun Jamison struggled as a prison inmate to imagine the possibility that he could ever rebuild his life. In 1995, as he approached his eighteenth birthday, homeless, hungry and out of control, Daroun made a series of reckless, fateful decisions. Among the results were a near-fatal gunshot wound to an innocent and unintended victim and an 18-year prison sentence that would not end until 2011 when Jamison was 34. Yes, I've Made Mistakes-Your Past Doesn't Have to Determine Your Future, recounts Jamison's experiences as a troubled youth and former inmate and his journey to becoming a responsible, caring adult. The book's focus is on two important questions that dominated his thoughts during those prison years: first, how can one move forward after life-altering mistakes and bad decisions, and second, how does one avoid making the choices that can lead to undesirable or unexpected outcomes. Because it is based on real-life experiences, Yes, I've Made Mistakes offers practical advice and strategies-including a six-step process-to improve decision-making and help solve problems in positive, productive ways. Its aim is to inspire readers and offer resources to those who want to improve their lives. Its message is one of self-empowerment through self-examination and personal responsibility and reflects the author's belief that everyone has the capacity to be and do better.

Awaken Your Authentic Self
Author: Tony Fahkry
Publisher: Tony Fahkry
ISBN: 1446761649
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
Complete acceptance of our identity is central to our way of life, given every interaction emerges from our authentic self. The Dalai Lama said it puzzled him why so many people in the West suffer from low self-esteem and lack of acceptance. Our personal needs are met when we honor our authentic self. The media’s influence portrays a fictitious world that doesn’t meet our needs. We are inundated with information to convince us of a news story we can’t live without. Yet, we are no better off because we avoid realizing our own authenticity. 'Awaken Your Authentic Self' is a book to reconnect you with the core of your essential self. It is a move away from whom you should be espoused by popular culture. The book invites you to reconnect with the deepest part of your being which knows who you are and how you should live. We are encoded with the DNA to thrive. Yet, through cultural conditioning and paradigms, we lose our place to the pull of our external environment. We subscribe to ideologies and beliefs regarding who we should be because we want to be accepted. This comes at a cost to our self-worth since we give up an aspect of ourselves and lose our authenticity. However, standing out has become a rite of passage insofar as the clothes one wears, hair color, body piercings and decorations. It may be viewed as a show of defiance instead of a proclamation of distinction. You have more power than you realize. More genius than you can imagine. More wisdom and knowledge than you can ever access. This is not a patronizing statement to seduce you into a false belief. You have unlimited power, and accessing that power is the basis to 'Awaken Your Authentic Self.' When you let go of the false belief that you are lacking or inadequate, in that moment you arouse your potential. Who you are today results from your beliefs, thoughts, and ideas of the world. Unless you challenge the status quo, you remain one of the masses. One has only look to mainstream culture to see the effects the media and marketing hype have on our society. We are drawn into a fictitious way of life at the expense of our sanity and earned dollars.

Mistakes Were Made

Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
ISBN: 1250841011
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
"This blazing-hot forbidden romance manages to sensibly, and compassionately, capture the complexities of starting adult life after college and finding love and your identity in middle age. Cassie and Erin’s romance is by turns delightfully raunchy and deeply emotional. This reader hopes Wilsner keeps these scorchers coming." - The Washington Post “[Wilsner writes] erotic yearning in a class all their own.” - Entertainment Weekly From Meryl Wilsner, the acclaimed author of Something to Talk About, comes Mistakes Were Made, a sharp and sexy rom-com about a college senior who accidentally hooks up with her best friend’s mom. When Cassie Klein goes to an off-campus bar to escape her school’s Family Weekend, she isn’t looking for a hookup—it just happens. Buying a drink for a stranger turns into what should be an uncomplicated, amazing one-night stand. But then the next morning rolls around and her friend drags her along to meet her mom—the hot, older woman Cassie slept with. Erin Bennett came to Family Weekend to get closer to her daughter, not have a one-night stand with a college senior. In her defense, she hadn’t known Cassie was a student when they'd met. To make things worse, Erin’s daughter brings Cassie to breakfast the next morning. And despite Erin's better judgement—how could sleeping with your daughter’s friend be anything but bad?—she and Cassie get along in the day just as well as they did last night. What should have been a one-time fling quickly proves impossible to ignore, and soon Cassie and Erin are sneaking around. Worst of all, they start to realize they have something real. But is being honest about the love between them worth the cost? "Wilsner proves their serious romance range with a sophomore novel that laughs in the slow-burning face of their debut by kicking off with a hookup that'll have you fanning your face for days." - Buzzfeed “A steaming hot, thoughtful story about all kinds of love, featuring a firecracker of a couple that’s impossible not to root for.” - Women's Health
