Adversity is an irreducible fact of life. Although we can and should learn from all experiences, both positive and negative, bestselling author Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal, believes that adversity is by far the best teacher most of us will ever encounter.
Whether the adversity one experiences is the result of poor decision-making, a desire to test one’s mettle, or plain bad luck, Rosenthal believes life’s most important lessons—from the value of family to the importance of occasionally cutting corners—can be best learned from it.
Running counter to society’s current prevailing message that “excellence” must always be aspired to, and failure or mistakes of any sort are to be avoided at all costs, Rosenthal shows that engaging with our own failures and defeats is one of the only ways we are able to live authentic and meaningful lives, and that each different type of adversity carries its own challenges and has the potential to yield its own form of wisdom.
If you think miracles come only in the form of turning water into wine, raising the dead and similarly supernatural phenomena, then you might be missing the point, says Kyle Derek Ervin. But, then again, he’s experienced something very close to those miracles described in the Bible.
For Ervin and his wife, Brynn, happily married and the parents of three, the line between flourishing and total peril became hair-thin with the birth of their fourth child. Anthony was delivered a month premature via emergency C-section. He weighed just 2 pounds, 12 ounces. As the newborn struggled for life in the neonatal intensive care unit, his mother suffered a massive pulmonary embolism.
“I’d achieved the life most people seek: the pursuit of a meaningful career; finding the right spouse; and providing the same opportunities for my children that I’d enjoyed. Suddenly, however, I was within a breath of losing a child and my wife, and it wasn’t lost on me that the older children would be without their mother,” says Ervin, a former U.S. Marine and author of “Please, God, Let Them be Amazing,” (www.letthembeamazing.com).
The purpose of this book is to set you free to be who you really are. As you love who you are you will find that you move through life holding your head slightly high and your chest will be expanded and open for love and receiving. Your neck will be long and lean, your throat open showing you are always ready to share and relate. You will know who you are and therefore will feel comfortable to be fully expressed. You will no longer worry about what others think of you. Why? Because you love yourself flaws and all. When you love your Self, and have your boundaries in place, there is not much that can take you off center for too long. This book encourages you to shine in your own full expression in this beautiful life where you know you are loved just for being exactly who you are.
The complex, deeply binding relationship between mothers and daughters is brought vividly to life in Katie Hafner's remarkable memoir, an exploration of the year she and her mother, Helen, spent working through, and triumphing over, a lifetime of unresolved emotions.
Dreaming of a "year in Provence" with her mother, Katie urges Helen to move to San Francisco to live with her and Zoë, Katie's teenage daughter. Katie and Zoë had become a mother-daughter team, strong enough, Katie thought, to absorb the arrival of a seventy-seven-year-old woman set in her ways.
Filled with fairy-tale hope that she and her mother would become friends, and that Helen would grow close to her exceptional granddaughter, Katie embarked on an experiment in intergenerational living that she would soon discover was filled with land mines: memories of her parents' painful divorce, of her mother's drinking, of dislocating moves back and forth across the country, and of Katie's own widowhood and bumpy recovery. Helen, for her part, was also holding difficult issues at bay.
