Broken

Pages : 176
Book Description
Broken But Not in Despair was written by a woman for women to say, "Yes, I am shattered today, but I will survive tomorrow." Sometimes we as women take our failure and heartbreaks to the grave. We hide and pretend to be whole, successful, and beautiful in every area of our lives because we are taught no one wants to see beauty undone. Most women have been taught to hide their shame and smile through the pain so that others see us as strong positive role models. I was one of those women, hurting and broken into a million pieces, breaking away from tradition and shame, I decided to take the mask off and let people see my pain and share my hurts with my sisters. I was tired of crying alone behind closed doors and telling the world I am doing just fine. It was through my tears that I saw a need to share my brokenness so that others can heal. I learned that with the support of the sisterhood, I did not have to be alone or shoulder the burden of my pain in the darkness of silence. When I thought I could not walk, they carried me, when I wanted to hide away from the world, they pulled me back into the light. When I thought I had nothing left to live for, they gave me joy and helped me count my blessings. Through the support of the sisterhood, I saw brokenness as a chance to reshape my life and reinvent myself. I wrote this book to remind women that being broken can positively affect many opportunities. Broken But Not in Despair is a story about four broken women who bared their souls and shared their pain, allowing the love and nurturing support of the sisterhood to heal and mend the break. These are real women like you and me, who discovered that being broken does not mean despair. It means a new life and a new beginning.

A New York Times Bestseller A Wall Street Journal Bestseller A New York Times Notable Book of 2020 A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Shortlisted for the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year A New Statesman Book to Read From economist Anne Case and Nobel Prize winner Angus Deaton, a groundbreaking account of how the flaws in capitalism are fatal for America's working class Deaths of despair from suicide, drug overdose, and alcoholism are rising dramatically in the United States, claiming hundreds of thousands of American lives.

As the college educated become healthier and wealthier, adults without a degree are literally dying from pain and despair. Case and Deaton tie the crisis to the weakening position of labor, the growing power of corporations, and a rapacious health-care sector that redistributes working-class wages into the pockets of the wealthy. This critically important book paints a troubling portrait of the American dream in decline, and provides solutions that can rein in capitalism's excesses and make it work for everyone.

Kierkegaard's Concept of Despair
Author: Michael Theunissen
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691095582
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
The literature on Kierkegaard is often content to paraphrase. By contrast, Michael Theunissen articulates one of Kierkegaard's central ideas, his theory of despair, in a detailed and comprehensible manner and confronts it with alternatives. Understanding what Kierkegaard wrote on despair is vital not only because it illuminates his thought as a whole, but because his account of despair in The Sickness unto Death is the cornerstone of existentialism. Theunissen's book, published in German in 1993, is widely regarded as the best treatment of the subject in any language. Kierkegaard's Concept of Despair is also one of the few works on Kierkegaard that bridge the gap between the Continental and analytic traditions in philosophy. Theunissen argues that for Kierkegaard, the fundamental characteristic of despair is the desire of the self "not to be what it is." He sorts through the apparently chaotic text of The Sickness unto Death to explain what Kierkegaard meant by the "self," how and why individuals want to flee their selves, and how he believed they could reconnect with their selves. According to Theunissen, Kierkegaard thought that individuals in despair seek to deny their authentic selves to flee particular aspects of their character, their past, or the world, or in order to deny their "mission." In addition to articulating and evaluating Kierkegaard's concept of despair, Theunissen relates Kierkegaard's ideas to those of Heidegger, Sartre, and other twentieth-century philosophers.

Raising Elijah
Author: Sandra Steingraber
Publisher: Da Capo Press
ISBN: 0306819783
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Nothing could be more important than the health of our children, and no one is better suited to examine the threats against it than Sandra Steingraber. Once called "a poet with a knife," she blends precise science with lyrical memoir. In Living Downstream she spoke as a biologist and cancer survivor; in Having Faith she spoke as an ecologist and expectant mother, viewing her own body as a habitat. Now she speaks as the scientist mother of two young children, enjoying and celebrating their lives while searching for ways to protect them -- and all children -- from the toxic, climate-threatened world they inhabit Each chapter of this engaging and unique book focuses on one inevitable ingredient of childhood -- everything from pizza to laundry to homework to the "Big Talk" -- and explores the underlying social, political, and ecological forces behind it. Through these everyday moments, Steingraber demonstrates how closely the private, intimate world of parenting connects to the public world of policy-making and how the ongoing environmental crisis is, fundamentally, a crisis of family life.

Book Description
A brilliant writer, first-time mother, and respected biologist, Sandra Steingraber tells the month-by-month story of her own pregnancy, weaving in the new knowledge of embryology, the intricate development of organs, the emerging architecture of the brain, and the transformation of the mother's body to nourish and protect the new life. At the same time, she shows all the hazards that we are now allowing to threaten each precious stage of development, including the breast-feeding relationship between mothers and their newborns. In the eyes of an ecologist, the mother's body is the first environment, the mediator between the toxins in our food, water, and air and her unborn child.Never before has the metamorphosis of a few cells into a baby seemed so astonishingly vivid, and never before has the threat of environmental pollution to conception, pregnancy, and even to the safety of breast milk been revealed with such clarity and urgency. In Having Faith, poetry and science combine in a passionate call to action.A Merloyd Lawrence Book
