A recent Gallup poll in the US found that 70% of those in work didn't enjoy their job. In his latest book, John C. Parkin brings the power of saying "F**k It" to the subject of doing what we love.

Through no-nonsense ideas, fascinating facts and motivating calls to action, John brings us from pessimism to inspiration, so that our thoughts become powered by "F**k it, I can't waste any more of my life", "F**k it, I will find a way to make this work", "F**k it, I will do what I love". F**k It: Do What You Love is not just a book: it's a step-by-step map to get every single person to spend their precious time on this planet doing what they love.

(Not) Getting Paid to Do What You Love
Author: Brooke Erin Duffy
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300227663
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
An illuminating investigation into a class of enterprising women aspiring to “make it” in the social media economy but often finding only unpaid work Profound transformations in our digital society have brought many enterprising women to social media platforms—from blogs to YouTube to Instagram—in hopes of channeling their talents into fulfilling careers. In this eye-opening book, Brooke Erin Duffy draws much-needed attention to the gap between the handful who find lucrative careers and the rest, whose “passion projects” amount to free work for corporate brands. Drawing on interviews and fieldwork, Duffy offers fascinating insights into the work and lives of fashion bloggers, beauty vloggers, and designers. She connects the activities of these women to larger shifts in unpaid and gendered labor, offering a lens through which to understand, anticipate, and critique broader transformations in the creative economy. At a moment when social media offer the rousing assurance that anyone can “make it”—and stand out among freelancers, temps, and gig workers—Duffy asks us all to consider the stakes of not getting paid to do what you love.

The Gloves
Author: Robert Anasi
Publisher: North Point Press
ISBN: 146680047X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
Robert Anasi's The Gloves offers a gritty, spirited inside look at the world of amateur boxing today. The Golden Gloves tournament is center stage in amateur boxing-a single-elimination contest in which young hopefuls square off in steamy gyms with the boxing elite looking on. Anasi took up boxing in his twenties to keep in shape, attract women, and sharpen his knuckles for the odd bar fight. He thought of entering "the Gloves," but put it off. Finally, at age thirty-two-his last year of eligibility-he vowed to fight, although he was an old man in a sport of teenagers and a light man who had to be even lighter (125 pounds) to fight others his size. So begins Anasi's obsessive preparation for the Golden Gloves. He finds Milton, a wily and abusive trainer, and joins Milton's "Supreme Team": a black teenager who used to deal guns in Harlem, a bus driver with five kids, a hard-hitting woman champion who becomes his sparring partner. Meanwhile, he observes the changing world of amateur boxing, in which investment bankers spar with ex-convicts and everyone dreads a fatal blow to the head. With the Supreme Team, he goes to the tournament, whose outcome, it seems, is rigged, like so much in boxing life today. Robert Anasi tells his story not as a journalist on assignment but as a man in the midst of one of the great adventures of his life. The Gloves, his first book, has the feel of a contemporary classic.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 507
Book Description
With diabolical characters, real struggles, and profound emotions, Love First is inspired from true events and address the journey of young Sheila as she grows into adulthood. It is a coming-of-age story about the struggles of trying to survive in an abusive household, making it out, and finding yourself falling back into the same patterns you once wished to avoid. It is a strikingly dark narrative of the struggles of African American families in America and the unintended prejudices that come with it. Sheila learns to struggle through harassment, physical abuse, emotional manipulation, teenage pregnancy, and multiple betrayals. Sheila is the focal point, but Love First poignantly describes how parents have a huge hand in helping children grow into better, or worse, adults. It also describes the story how three girls Sheila, Lita and Sarah, despite growing up in the same environment, all go on their own drastically different paths. One things is for sure, if Sheila wants to make it out, she cannot stay pure and innocent. She must fight fire with fire. She grows, from strong-willed, good-intentioned, albeit slightly gullible, young woman into a fierce adult who vows to fight for her children till the very end. Unfortunately, through the process, she becomes the very thing that she wholeheartedly despises. Her mother.
