An astonishing fact is that the vast majority of the wealthy come from middle-class or working-class backgrounds. Born and raised in modest economic circumstances, they find themselves as adults in the wonderful but unfamiliar world of wealth, like immigrants to a new land. Their adjustment is often harder than they anticipate. Yet awaiting wealth's newcomers is an even more daunting task: how to raise children and grandchildren successfully in the family's new world of affluence. Written by a prominent wealth psychologist, Strangers in Paradise takes an innovative approach to the challenges facing wealth's "immigrants and natives." Combining clear reasoning with real-world stories, Strangers in Paradise outlines for the first time how the key process for families of wealth - like all immigrant families - is adaptation.

The remarkable memoir of healing and forgiveness from Julie Chimes, who survived a horrific stabbing on her own driveway In 1986, Julie Chimes allowed an emotionally distressed acquaintance to wait in her cottage for Julie's doctor boyfriend to return. Before he could, the woman - who was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and, unknown to all, had stopped taking her medication - attacked Julie with a carving knife. This book describes what happened in detail, and the long period of healing and coming to terms with the attack that followed. Julie tells of her out-of-body experiences during the crisis, as well as the dreams and premonitions leading up to it. She describes what it feels like to die, and then unforeseeably, to live to tell the tale. But most remarkably of all, she tells of her hardest journey: learning to forgive.

A low-budget breakout film that wowed critics and audiences on its initial release, Stranger Than Paradise would prove to be a seminal film in the new American independent cinema movement and establish its director, Jim Jarmusch, as a hip, cult auteur. Taking inspiration from 1960s underground filmmaking, international art cinema, genre cinema, and punk culture, Jarmusch’s film provides a bridge between midnight movie features and a new mode of quirky, offbeat independent filmmaking. This book probes the film's production history, initial reception, aesthetics, and legacy in order to understand its place within the cult film canon. In examining the film's cult pedigree, it explores a number of threads that fed into the film—including New York downtown culture of the early 1980s and Jarmusch’s involvement in music—as well as reflecting on how the film's status has developed alongside Jarmusch’s subsequent output and reputation.
