Book Description
Life is a journey that takes us through many twists and turns, joys and sorrows, highs and lows. It is a mystery that we try to unravel, a puzzle that we try to solve, a game that we try to win. Life is also a gift that we cherish, a blessing that we appreciate, a treasure that we share. Life is many things, and yet it is one thing: it is ours. This poetry book is a reflection of my life, my experiences, my thoughts, and my feelings. It is a collection of poems that I have written over the years, inspired by various events, people, and places. Some of these poems are personal, some are universal, some are optimistic, some are pessimistic, some are realistic, some are idealistic. But all of them are honest, sincere, and heartfelt. Thank you for choosing this poetry book. I hope it will enrich your life as much as it has enriched mine.

Let's Talk about Death (over Dinner)
Author: Michael Hebb
Publisher: Da Capo Lifelong Books
ISBN: 0738235318
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
For readers of Being Mortal and When Breath Becomes Air, the acclaimed founder of Death over Dinner offers a practical, inspiring guide to life's most difficult yet important conversation. Of the many critical conversations we will all have throughout our lifetime, few are as important as the ones discussing death—and not just the practical considerations, such as DNRs and wills, but what we fear, what we hope, and how we want to be remembered. Yet few of these conversations are actually happening. Inspired by his experience with his own father and countless stories from others who regret not having these conversations, Michael Hebb cofounded Death Over Dinner—an organization that encourages people to pull up a chair, break bread, and really talk about the one thing we all have in common. Death Over Dinner has been one of the most effective end-of-life awareness campaigns to date; in just three years, it has provided the framework and inspiration for more than a hundred thousand dinners focused on having these end-of-life conversations. As Arianna Huffington said, "We are such a fast-food culture, I love the idea of making the dinner last for hours. These are the conversations that will help us to evolve." Let's Talk About Death (over Dinner) offers keen practical advice on how to have these same conversations—not just at the dinner table, but anywhere. There's no one right way to talk about death, but Hebb shares time—and dinner—tested prompts to use as conversation starters, ranging from the spiritual to the practical, from analytical to downright funny and surprising. By transforming the most difficult conversations into an opportunity, they become celebratory and meaningful—ways that not only can change the way we die, but the way we live.

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Striking a perfect balance between heartfelt emotions and spot-on humor, this debut features a pop-culture enthusiast protagonist with an unforgettable voice sure to resonate with readers. Alice had her whole summer planned. Nonstop all-you-can-eat buffets while marathoning her favorite TV shows (best friends totally included) with the smallest dash of adulting—working at the library to pay her share of the rent. The only thing missing from her perfect plan? Her girlfriend (who ended things when Alice confessed she's asexual). Alice is done with dating—no thank you, do not pass go, stick a fork in her, done. But then Alice meets Takumi and she can’t stop thinking about him or the rom com-grade romance feels she did not ask for (uncertainty, butterflies, and swoons, oh my!). When her blissful summer takes an unexpected turn and Takumi becomes her knight with a shiny library-employee badge (close enough), Alice has to decide if she’s willing to risk their friendship for a love that might not be reciprocated—or understood. Claire Kann’s debut novel Let’s Talk About Love, chosen by readers like you for Macmillan's young adult imprint Swoon Reads, gracefully explores the struggle with emerging adulthood and the complicated line between friendship and what it might mean to be something more. Praise for Let’s Talk About Love from the Swoon Reads community: “A sweet and beautiful journey about self-discovery and identity!” —Macy Filia, reader on SwoonReads.com “There aren't many novels that have asexual characters and it's something people need more of.” —Alice, reader on SwoonReads.com “I want this on my shelf where I can admire it every day.” —Kiara, reader on SwoonReads.com

Let's Talk about Death
Author: Steve Gordon
Publisher: Prometheus Books
ISBN: 1633881121
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Experts in end-of-life care tell us that we should talk about death and dying with relatives and friends, but how do we get such conversations off the ground in a society that historically has avoided the topic? This book provides one example of such a conversation. The coauthors take up challenging questions about pain, caregiving, grief, and what comes after death. Their unlikely collaboration is itself connected to death: the murders of two of Irene's closest friends and Steve's support in perpetuating memories of those friends' lives and not just their violent ends. The authors share the results of a no-holds-barred discussion they conducted for several years over email. Readers can consider a range of views on complicated issues to which there are no right answers. Letting ourselves pose certain questions has the potential to profoundly change the way we think about death, how we choose to die, and, just as importantly, the way we live. Honest, probing, sensitive, and even humorous at times, the completely open discussions in this book will help readers deal with a topic that most of us try to avoid but that everyone will face eventually.

Let’s Talk About Life
Author: Ruby Kapoor
Publisher: Amazon Marketing Hub
ISBN:
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Attempting to categorize Ruby Kapoor is akin to using one colour to describe a rainbow. After 13 years in Mauritius, she is seeking and succeeding in finding new ways of surpassing herself. No medium seems too daunting, no idea too esoteric for this lady. Those who have read her all encompassing columns in I' express outlook will instantly get the gist of the above. Yet, over and above the warm and encouraging offerings that Ruby Kapoor has so gracefully contributed to Outlook during the supplement's short lifetime, what strikes one most is her boundless self-confidence. I like to think that this is Ruby Kapoor's most valuable lesson and one that the effervescent lady successfully conveys. What makes this even more pertinent is that the self-proclaimed "housewife, TV presenter, radio broadcaster, painter on glass and columnist on positive thinking" ,is a living example of the messages she preaches. You needn't look further than Ruby Kapoor herself to see how true this is. A few minutes in her munificent presence suffice to confirm how fully she believes in herself and her writing, If one is to retain anything of Ruby Kapoor's little pearls of wisdom, it is that confidence is the great enabler and that its aura will help you achieve almost anything. This collection is thus Ruby's way of telling you to stop worrying and start acting... positively. Now what in the world could be more valuable than that?

REVISED AND UPDATED-NOW WITH FINANCIAL LESSONS FROM COVID-19 We work hard to earn our money. But regardless of how much we earn, the money worry never goes away.

Let's Talk About Love
Author: Carl Wilson
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1623563283
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
For his 2007 critically acclaimed 33 1/3 series title, Let's Talk About Love, Carl Wilson went on a quest to find his inner Céline Dion fan and explore how we define ourselves by what we call good and bad, what we love and what we hate. At once among the most widely beloved and most reviled and lampooned pop stars of the past few decades, Céline Dion's critics call her mawkish and overblown while millions of fans around the world adore her “huge pipes” and even bigger feelings. How can anyone say which side is right? This new, expanded edition goes even further, calling on thirteen prominent writers and musicians to respond to themes ranging from sentiment and kitsch to cultural capital and musical snobbery. The original text is followed by lively arguments and stories from Nick Hornby, Krist Novoselic, Ann Powers, Mary Gaitskill, James Franco, Sheila Heti and others. In a new afterword, Carl Wilson examines recent cultural changes in love and hate, including the impact of technology and social media on how taste works (or doesn't) in the 21st century.
