Famous, rich. and glamorous. That’s Stefan Acker and Harley Kensington. More like the future Mr. and Mrs. Acker who are ready to race to the altar soon. Before the lives of Harley, an A-list actress, and Stefan, a leading athlete, became enviable and fancy, they were lovers-turned-exes. They were young and free high school students then. They meet again after a few years, but later on, bring a feud in the eyes of the showbiz industry. Surprisingly, the chaotic encounter caused them to flee from their own present relationships and decide to start over. It was never imagined, at all, that reconciliation was possible and love can be sweeter the second time around for both of them. It seems that the couple has everything they ever wanted at their fingertips. Who wouldn’t want life in the fast lane where everything is within reach? How about love? There’s temptation, probable grudges, and many fears, even, from the past that might just come with the life they chose. Keeping up with everything going on in their life, Harley and Stefan do their utmost to make the most out of their second chance behind the cameras and the papers. Will life really treat Harley and Stefan well? When a love story seems to be controversial and everything they’ve worked for with that ever so undying promise of love to fight all odds will come crashing down once more, is there still a guarantee that love can really be sweeter the another time around?

Zen and the Heart of Psychotherapy
Author: Robert RosenbaumPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 131777194X
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 639
Book Description
In the midst of our busy activity, people often feel fragmented. We experience conflicting demands from our work, our personal relationships, our families, and our spiritual practice. In this book, the author, a practicing psychotherapist, explores the challenges and joys of making our life into a coherent whole. Psychotherapy addresses a sense of fragmentation in an effort to help us be uniquely ourselves. Zen Buddhist practice insists we find ourselves on every moment of our lives; it speaks to the basic connectedness of all things. This book attempts to integrate the two. Each chapter examines some aspect of sewing together the practice of Zen with the realization of psychotherapy, and its implications for daily life. Though there is a logical progression to the chapters, each chapter can be read on its own if the reader is interested in how a particular text might inform their psychotherapy or life circumstances. Through the stories of his clients' and his own difficulties and discoveries, the author invites each reader to actualize the fundamental point: to realize the joy and compassion that comes when we touch the basic ground of life, and put it into play in our everyday activity.

These stories, edited by bestselling and award-winning Pakistani-American author Hena Khan, are filled with humor, warmth, and possibility. They showcase a diverse array of talented authors with heritage from the Indian subcontinent, including beloved favorites and rising stars, who each highlight the beauty and necessity of a community center that everyone calls home.
