The Crack-Up
Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Publisher: New Directions Publishing
ISBN: 0811219712
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
A self-portrait of a great writer 's rise and fall, intensely personal and etched with Fitzgerald's signature blend of romance and realism. The Crack-Up tells the story of Fitzgerald's sudden descent at the age of thirty-nine from glamorous success to empty despair, and his determined recovery. Compiled and edited by Edmund Wilson shortly after F. Scott Fitzgerald's death, this revealing collection of his essays—as well as letters to and from Gertrude Stein, Edith Wharton, T.S. Eliot, John Dos Passos—tells of a man with charm and talent to burn, whose gaiety and genius made him a living symbol of the Jazz Age, and whose recklessness brought him grief and loss. "Fitzgerald's physical and spiritual exhaustion is described brilliantly," noted The New York Review of Books: "the essays are amazing for the candor."

It's Good to See Me Again

Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
So many of us feel lost. We don't know where to turn. We don't trust ourselves or those around us. We're destabilized by uncertainty. We feel disappointed, disoriented, and disillusioned. We're overwhelmed. We lean too easily on fear instead of faith. There's a reason for that. It's because we don't know how to cope with Change. But Change is the very definition of what it means to live because life is experienced only through Change. So what happens when we resist, defy, or avoid Change? We interrupt the natural order and create disorder in our lives. The very fabric of our reality is imbued with Change. When we defy it, we defy ourselves. We lose our way. This process unfolds simply and predictably over time: Change appears in the form of something unforeseen. We feel uncertain, anxious, frustrated, worried, and fearful at this unexpected turn of events. We resist Change by creating stories of how we think things should've turned out. Our stories cause us to suffer because they are incongruent with reality. Suffering is disorienting and makes us give up our power of free will. When we feel powerless to choose, we abandon ourselves and feel lost. Change can be scary to experience, difficult to process, and harder yet to accept. But it's also the law of life. Whether it's a brutal breakup, a devastating death, a jarring job loss, a debilitating diagnosis, or a perilous pandemic; Change has a way of breaking open our hearts for something bigger, better, and more beautiful to enter our lives. But only if we know how to converse with it. In this thought-provoking self-help debut, Rackliffe shows you how to not just embrace Change, but completely transform your relationship with it--diving deep into the four steps of his RACE Model for Change: 1. Resist one thing only: Your resistance to Change. 2. Accept what you cannot Change so you may let go. 3. Choose to Change what you can by reclaiming your power to choose. 4. Embrace Change by remaining open to it in the future. This is how you find your way back to your true self when you feel lost. First, you stop identifying with the pain of your past. You quit telling yourself stories about how horrific or painful it was. You refuse to be a victim any longer. Next, you embrace your path of highest good in the present. This means using the light of your awareness to make more conscious choices that will support and nourish you, that will help you accept your opportunities to grow. The final step is to stop resisting Change in the future. When something unexpected happens that triggers you, do not react. Learn to lean on your faith. Trust that what happens is for your ultimate benefit even if you can't fathom how. Accept every unforeseen plot twist and embrace every perceived obstacle as an impetus to evolve. This is what it means to heal. This is what it means to find peace. This is what it means to truly live. As Rackliffe writes in the opening pages: "You've been guided to this book for a reason. If you've been looking for a sign, wishing for clarity, or hoping for direction, this is it. Your life is speaking to you through the words on these pages. Should you choose to listen, you will rediscover the truth of who you are. Should you accept this assignment, you will awaken the parts of you that you thought were lost forever. A homecoming of the soul awaits those who are brave enough to choose this path. All you have to do is give yourself permission to embrace it." From the pain of resistance to the peace of acceptance, and from the power of choosing to the bliss of being open to life, this is a voyage of resilience and redemption, fear and forgiveness, judgment and joy. Follow the RACE model for Change and you will always find your way back home to you. Choose to embark on this journey and you will learn to befriend Change. Choose the path of highest good laid out for you and you will finally be able to say, "It's Good to See Me Again."
