Book Description
A collection of essays extended from The New York Times' most-read article of 2016. Anyone we might marry could, of course, be a little bit wrong for us. We don’t expect bliss every day. The fault isn’t entirely our own; it has to do with the devilish truth that anyone we’re liable to meet is going to be rather wrong, in some fascinating way or another, because this is simply what all humans happen to be – including, sadly, ourselves. This collection of essays proposes that we don’t need perfection to be happy. So long as we enter our relationships in the right spirit, we have every chance of coping well enough with, and even delighting in, the inevitable and distinctive wrongness that lies in ourselves and our beloveds.

Cutting Your Losses from a Bad or Toxic Relationship
Author: Dr. J.A. McGruder Ph.D. CRC
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1984557459
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
Life itself can be like riding a roller coaster. It’s full of ups and downs, high and low points. Using the lyrics of an old gospel song by Linda Ronstadt, “Life is like a mountain railway with an engineer that’s brave. We must make this run successful from the cradle to the grave,” one of the greatest challenges we all face to navigate life’s journey is developing healthy, godly relationships. One of our greatest failures in developing healthy relationships is well described by a story sharer in this book. She compares a bad or toxic relationship with the plight of sin. “Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.” Such can be said about a bad or toxic relationship. In Dr. McGruder’s book Cutting Your Losses from a Bad or Toxic Relationship, he warns those who discover themselves in such a relationship and fail to heed warnings and escape from harm’s way. Remaining in such a relationship can waste a significant portion of your life’s journey, and the result can tally up to emotional, mental, psychological, and spiritual gross costs. However, this book will provide insight on how to survive and thrive it all!

Pages : 354
Book Description
You can't really trust E., the narrator of A Mad Girl's Love Song. Recently released from the hospital for an unknown illness, E. claims to be some version of Esther Greenwood, a contemporary iteration of Sylvia Plath's depressed, neurotic main character. However, this is the least of her problems. As she struggles to find her place in hip West Asheville, E. finds herself obsessed with two things: poetry and electrocution. So much obsessed, in fact, that E. stumbles into Doctor Id's Center for Poetic Dislocation and Disentanglement, where a sexy-but-elusive psychiatrist attempts to rid E. of her Poetry Problem and usher her into the Prosaic Priority, an electroconvulsive-based program designed to help writers benefit monetarily and emotionally from their progress. Central to E.'s journey is Alexx, Doctor Id's assistant who loves the 1990s and often disappears into clouds of fairy glitter, leaving E. and the reader to wonder just what--if anything-- happened at all.

Good Reasons for Better Arguments
Author: Jerome E. Bickenbach
Publisher: Broadview Press
ISBN: 9781551110592
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
This text introduces university students to the philosophical ethos of critical thinking, as well as to the essential skills required to practice it. The authors believe that Critical Thinking should engage students with issues of broader philosophical interest while they develop their skills in reasoning and argumentation. The text is informed throughout by philosophical theory concerning argument and communication—from Aristotle’s recognition of the importance of evaluating argument in terms of its purpose to Habermas’s developing of the concept of communicative rationality. The authors’ treatment of the topic is also sensitive to the importance of language and of situation in shaping arguments, and to the necessity in argument of some interplay between reason and emotion. Unlike many other texts in this area, then, Good Reasons for Better Arguments helps to explain both why argument is important and how the social role of argument plays an important part in determining what counts as a good argument. If this text is distinctive in the extent to which it deals with the theory and the values of critical thinking, it is also noteworthy for the thorough grounding it provides in the skills of deductive and inductive reasoning; the authors present the reader with useful tools for the interpretation, evaluation and construction of arguments. A particular feature is the inclusion of a wide range of exercises, rich with examples that illuminate the practice of argument for the student. Many of the exercises are self testing, with answers provided at the back of the text; others are appropriate for in-class discussion and assignments. Challenging yet accessible, Good Reasons for Better Arguments brings a fresh perspective to an essential subject.
