Book excerpt: Lust's follow-up to her first internationally lauded graphic memoir, How I Tried to Be a Good Person, picks up directly where its predecessor left off. Revealing and powerful, Lust recounts her life as a young, enthusiastic anarchist making her way in Vienna in the 1990s - and of her love for two men: the "perfect companion" Georg, an actor twenty years her elder, and the "perfect lover," Kimata, a Nigerian man-about-town. As her relationships with the two men evolve, jealousy increasingly mounts and leads to emotional and violent outbreaks that threaten her life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Brecht's dark, dazzling world-view...makes an absolutely devastating impact. The play is fuelled by the brilliant perception that everyone requires such a dual or split personality to survive.' Evening Standard Three gods come to earth hoping to discover one really good person. No one can be found until they meet Shen Te, a prostitute with a heart of gold. Rewarded by the gods, she gives up her profession and buys a tabacco shop but finds it is impossible to survive as a good person in a corrupt world without the support of her ruthless alter ego Shui Ta. Brecht's parable of good and evil was first performed in 1943 and remains one of his most popular and frequently produced plays worldwide. This Student Edition features an extensive introduction and commentary that includes a plot summary, discussion of the context, themes, characters, style and language as well as questions for further study and notes on words and phrases in the text. It is the perfect edition for students of theatre and literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author's intent is to call into question the validity of a belief about human nature that enjoys almost universal acceptance. He contends that there is a huge difference between the “good” people we think we are, and what we're really like. He hopes this book will challenge us to evaluate ourselves and our core values.This book is about us—our humanity and our inhumanity, our selflessness and our self-centeredness, our compassion and our indifference. It is about the age old question of what we're really like in the depths of our being. Most assume that, “basically, we're good people.” Isn't that just the way it is? Isn't that what everybody thinks? If someone feels like their self-image, integrity or reputation is being threatened, we often hear them say, “I'm a good person!” It would be pretty hard to live with yourself if you weren't able to maintain some semblance of self-worth.We've taken it for granted that, “basically, we're good people.” Something we've just assumed to be a given has been elevated to the status of truth. The reader will be asked to do some soul searching as to the validity of this widely held belief. Two key factors in making any assessment of whether or not we're “good people” are the standard by which we measure ourselves with respect to charitable giving and volunteerism.The reader is challenged to reevaluate their standard of what a good person is. Furthermore, this book asks the reader to take action based on their understanding of what it means to be a good person. Do you want to go with the flow, or start struggling against the strong cultural currents of ethics, morals and values that seek to pull us along with everyone else? His reason for writing is that he hurts for and is concerned about those who are less fortunate, those dying from starvation or disease and those living in conditions that make it difficult to maintain any semblance of dignity and hope. He challenges the reader to use their potential to help the suffering, the abandoned and the destitute.The book addresses many current high-visibility issues that are relevant and part of today's conversation: income inequality and the wealth gap, the fading of the American Dream and the decline of the middle-class, government regulation and the Volcker rule, bank penalties for actions taken during the mortgage crisis and the anniversary of Lyndon Johnson's declaration of a War on Poverty, Congressional gridlock and, most of all, Pope Francis' emphasis on the need to care for the poor and the marginalized. The dynamics involved in these issues demonstrate the author's belief about the nature of man, reflected in lives that are characterized by self-interest, greed and indifference. We have this tendency to look out not just for the needs of ourselves and our own, but also our wants, at the expense of the unmet needs of others - many of whom are living in misery and despair. This book gives his perspective on how all of these issues fit into the big picture of the meaning of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gary Trosclair explores the power of the driven personality and the positive outcomes those with obsessive compulsive personality disorder can achieve through a mindful program of harnessing the skills that can work, and altering those that serve no one. If you were born with a compulsive personality you may become rigid, controlling, and self-righteous. But you also may become productive, energetic, and conscientious. Same disposition, but very different ways of expressing it. What determines the difference? Some of the most successful and happy people in the world are compelled by powerful inner urges that are almost impossible to resist. They’re compulsive. They’re driven. But some people with a driven personality feel compelled by shame or insecurity to use their compulsive energy to prove their worth, and they lose control of the wheel of their own life. They become inflexible and critical perfectionists who need to wield control, and they lose the point of everything they do in the process. A healthy compulsive is one whose energy and talents for achievement are used consciously in the service of passion, love and purpose. An unhealthy compulsive is one whose energy and talents for achievement have been hijacked by fear and its henchman, anger. Both are driven: one by meaning, the other by dread. The Healthy Compulsive: Healing Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder and Taking the Wheel of the Driven Personality, will serve as the ultimate user’s guide for those with a driven personality, including those who have slid into obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). Unlike OCD, which results in specific symptoms such as repetitive hand-washing and intrusive thoughts, OCPD permeates the entire personality and dramatically affects relationships. It also requires a different approach to healing. Both scientifically informed and practical, The Healthy Compulsive describes how compulsives get off track and outlines a four-step program to help them consciously cultivate the talents and passions that are the truly compelling sources of the driven personality. Drawing from his 25 years of clinical experience as a psychotherapist and Jungian psychoanalyst, and his own personal experience as someone with a driven personality, Trosclair offers understanding, inspiring stories of change, and hope to compulsives and their partners about how to move to the healthy end of the compulsive spectrum.

Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller. Over 15 million copies sold! Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights. Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field. Learn how to: make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy); overcome a lack of motivation and willpower; design your environment to make success easier; get back on track when you fall off course; ...and much more. Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.
