Book Synopsis Modern Loss by : Rebecca Soffer
Download or read book Modern Loss written by Rebecca Soffer. This book was released on 2018-01-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by the website that the New York Times hailed as "redefining mourning," this book is a fresh and irreverent examination into navigating grief and resilience in the age of social media, offering comfort and community for coping with the mess of loss through candid original essays from a variety of voices, accompanied by gorgeous two-color illustrations and wry infographics. At a time when we mourn public figures and national tragedies with hashtags, where intimate posts about loss go viral and we receive automated birthday reminders for dead friends, it’s clear we are navigating new terrain without a road map. Let’s face it: most of us have always had a difficult time talking about death and sharing our grief. We’re awkward and uncertain; we avoid, ignore, or even deny feelings of sadness; we offer platitudes; we send sympathy bouquets whittled out of fruit. Enter Rebecca Soffer and Gabrielle Birkner, who can help us do better. Each having lost parents as young adults, they co-founded Modern Loss, responding to a need to change the dialogue around the messy experience of grief. Now, in this wise and often funny book, they offer the insights of the Modern Loss community to help us cry, laugh, grieve, identify, and—above all—empathize. Soffer and Birkner, along with forty guest contributors including Lucy Kalanithi, singer Amanda Palmer, and CNN’s Brian Stelter, reveal their own stories on a wide range of topics including triggers, sex, secrets, and inheritance. Accompanied by beautiful hand-drawn illustrations and witty "how to" cartoons, each contribution provides a unique perspective on loss as well as a remarkable life-affirming message. Brutally honest and inspiring, Modern Loss invites us to talk intimately and humorously about grief, helping us confront the humanity (and mortality) we all share. Beginners welcome.

Book Synopsis Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue by : John A. Curry
Download or read book Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue written by John A. Curry. This book was released on 2006-05-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT IS THE R.A.P. THERAPY? R.A.P. is an eclectic approach to behavior modification. This form of therapy is existential in that incorporates spiritual principles, along with cognitive behavioral therapeutic applications. R.A.P. is designed to assist clients in realizing their true God-given potential. This behavioral modification approach has proven to be effective in self-empowerment and positive change. R.A.P. is based on the premise that each individual is responsible for his or her actions. As a result, each person will ultimately be held responsible for the outcome of the choices that he or she makes. This is a simple concept; however, there are many people who fail to grasp this principle. Because of this, these individuals live their lives in an external locus of control, which means they allow outside circumstances to control them. R.A.P. teaches that we should live our lives from an internal locus of control, which means that we realize that we have the ability to overcome the circumstance in which we find ourselves. This mindset takes us from being victimized to becoming victorious. According to the Bible, God created mankind in His image and likeness and decreed that mankind would have dominion over the earth (Gen 1:27-28). If this is true, then it stands to reason that each individual has the ability to be in control over the circumstances in which they find themselves. When the principles of responsibility, accountability, and purpose are inculcated into a person's cognitive processes an environment is created that empowers, motivates, and regulates one's behavior. This sense of empowerment is vital for an individual to take charge of his or her life. If you don't like where your life is at, then it time to use R.A.P.!
