Book Description
It is often difficult to decipher whether a crystal or mineral's name is the real deal or something made up, especially if you are just beginning your crystal journey. A new name can often be a legal right, one that has gone through proper channels, testing and legal trademark registration. Many times, however, it is a made up name to increase its value, unbeknownst to the buying public. "Renaming a crystal or mineral with a fancy foo foo name is prostituting Mother Nature's children. It is neither necessary nor appropriate. Dress it up and give it a fancy name and sell it for more than it is worth is a common practice for some in the metaphysical community. The practice of misleading and making something it is not, is the practice commonly used by politicians and snake oil salesmen." Honesty, Integrity, Truth in labeling. The Rebel Rocker

This Chair Rocks
Author: Ashton Applewhite
Publisher: Celadon Books
ISBN: 1250297249
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Author, activist, and TED speaker Ashton Applewhite has written a rousing manifesto calling for an end to discrimination and prejudice on the basis of age. In our youth obsessed culture, we’re bombarded by media images and messages about the despairs and declines of our later years. Beauty and pharmaceutical companies work overtime to convince people to purchase products that will retain their youthful appearance and vitality. Wrinkles are embarrassing. Gray hair should be colored and bald heads covered with implants. Older minds and bodies are too frail to keep up with the pace of the modern working world and olders should just step aside for the new generation. Ashton Applewhite once held these beliefs too until she realized where this prejudice comes from and the damage it does. Lively, funny, and deeply researched, This Chair Rocks traces her journey from apprehensive boomer to pro-aging radical, and in the process debunks myth after myth about late life. Explaining the roots of ageism in history and how it divides and debases, Applewhite examines how ageist stereotypes cripple the way our brains and bodies function, looks at ageism in the workplace and the bedroom, exposes the cost of the all-American myth of independence, critiques the portrayal of elders as burdens to society, describes what an all-age-friendly world would look like, and offers a rousing call to action. It’s time to create a world of age equality by making discrimination on the basis of age as unacceptable as any other kind of bias. Whether you’re older or hoping to get there, this book will shake you by the shoulders, cheer you up, make you mad, and change the way you see the rest of your life. Age pride! “Wow. This book totally rocks. It arrived on a day when I was in deep confusion and sadness about my age. Everything about it, from my invisibility to my neck. Within four or five wise, passionate pages, I had found insight, illumination, and inspiration. I never use the word empower, but this book has empowered me.” —Anne Lamott, New York Times bestselling author
