Book Description
Do kids come with an owner’s manual? This book is about Jim Minton’s journey of figuring out how to raise his kids and learning a lot about himself in the process. When Jim’s children were born, he focused on raising Division I athletes who would make him look good. He started off as that obnoxious dad we have all witnessed at sporting events. He ended up with thirteen principles for improving himself, plus three amazing kids who bring him great joy as they walk in the truth. Jim loves good quotes. He kept a list on the refrigerator as his kids grew up, many of them coming from legendary basketball coach John Wooden. Jim knew his kids were going to find the bad stuff on their phones and in the culture; it was up to him to get the good stuff in front of them. Along the way, Jim discovered that the Bible is the owner’s manual he was looking for.

Philosophical Investigations from The Sanctity of the Press
Author: Henry Dribble
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595336124
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
In some cultures this would be the front cover, you have to travel their roads on the left which they call the right. Use breeds context which of course is the source of all meaning. We all take context for granted, don't we? Do you know where your context is right now? You know how we can listen to certain music, and participate for a while? We don't have to hum, we just feel part of it, well we do become part of it, as the riff goes roundabout. Now, if you read Henry's book slowly, open yourself, like the book will be open to you, then you will become part of this book's thoughts. It's the same. Yes, there are stories and we all get lost in stories, but there are also streets of thought, new and changing perspectives. You will make new associations, seeing old ones for the first time for what they really are, just one of many possibilities. And then, you will realize that philosophy and music can be one and the future, if we just make it so. This book will appeal to those who like jam or jazz music. Ever drive down Sunset and see the hawkers with maps to the rich and famous in the hills? The maps help tourist drive by the gates and supposedly learn who lies beyond and within. Well, the attached has a map of sorts, dedicated and inspired by Ludwig Wittgenstein. It shows how to take roads to see what lurks beyond the gates of ourselves and how we think. Some think it a bit more worthwhile. Has the Age of the Philosopher Warrior begun? --Harry P. Holmes, author of The Greatest Golf Book Ever Written

Book Description
From the team behind the super-popular Instagram @MyTherapistSays comes this humorous guide that chronicles the exhausting task of navigating the daily, anxiety-ridden struggle that we fondly call life. Including hilarious memes MTS is known and loved for, along with checklists, prompts, questions from readers, and more, My Therapist Says is the guide you need to achieve your goals, one wrong turn at a time. Have you ever wanted something, pursued it (albeit not quite as gracefully as you would’ve hoped), failed, and then genuinely asked yourself the question, “Am I delusional?” Well, that’s how I began penning this magnum opus. Like the Buddhist’s have their Tripitaka, you have…moi. And my therapist, though it’s unlikely she’ll admit this in public. On the receiving end of a ghosting session? Needing a way to leave a work function without looking like a buzzkill? Having a hard time developing amnesia about your last relationship? Fear not, as I cover everything from circumstantial etiquette to blissful delusion when necessary. So, grab a pen, a box of tissues, a glass of wine, and your bestie, because sh*t is about to get real. And remember, be yourself, be kind, and all that jazz, unless you’re a Susan*. If that’s the case, try to be literally anyone else. Ugh, my therapist hates that I wrote that. *Susan: Noun and verb. Unpleasant, annoying, and delusional, the Susan is somebody who is literally awful in every way, is liked by no one, but has no clue, no matter how many open clues you give her. If you roll your eyes at this, you’re probably a Susan. Uses: Susaning, Susanism. For even more on navigating the mystical tornado of life, get the companion coloring book: My Therapist Says...to Color: Ignore Reality and Color Over 50 Designs Because You Can't Even.

The Person
Author: Dan P. McAdams
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470129131
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 1244
Book Description
Drawing on cutting-edge scientific research, classic personality theories, and stirring examples from biography and literature, The Person presents a lively and integrative introduction to the science of personality psychology. Author, Dan McAdams, organizes the field according to a broad conceptual perspective that has emerged in personality psychology over the past 10 years. According to this perspective, personality is made up of three levels of psychological individuality - dispositional traits, characteristic adaptations (such as motives and goals), and integrative life stories. Traits, adaptations, and stories comprise the three most recognizable variations on psychological human nature, grounded in the human evolutionary heritage and situated in cultural and historical context. The fifth edition of this beautifully written text expands and updates research on the neuroscience of personality traits and introduces new material on personality disorders, evolution and religion, attachment in adulthood, continuity and change in personality over the life course, and the development of narrative identity.

The FBI Wife
Author: Sandra Windsor
Publisher: Abbott Press
ISBN: 1458219879
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
“There would be another house to make a home, a relationship to repair and a heart to make happy with a new determination” Sandy, a 1960’s FBI wife, finds herself in territory for which there seems to be no roadmap, yet she knows she is somewhere important, an observer and a participant in an unfolding scene which is impacting her as she moves from assignment to assignment across country under Hoover’s rigid FBI expectations. Caught in this world, juxtaposed against the social explosions of the time, Sandy takes the reader on an emotional journey across country, through the trauma of the Kennedy assassination, Martin Luther King’s Selma march and.the war on organized crime, knowing all the while she is giving up more and more of herself. They are a couple marching out of step, searching for a connection. Sandy aspires for a partnership based on trust and shared aspirations; Cliff is seduced by the danger of working high profile criminal cases. She must find that person lurking within, separate from her identity as an FBI wife. “My river’s life echoed my own as I searched, manipulated, pressed on, gave up to finally reach a place I hadn’t been before.” Sandra Windsor’s FBI Wife beautifully explores what it’s like to live next to big moments in history, to hold home and family together as your partner engages in the headline events of your time.
