Book Description

A hilariously-honest, heartwarming essay collection about life, love, and discovering you have ADHD at age 35 Despite being a published writer with a family, a gaggle of internet fans, and (most shockingly) a mortgage, Emily Farris could never get her sh*t together. As she saw it, disorganization was one of her countless character flaws—that is until she was diagnosed with ADHD at age 35. Like many girls who go undiagnosed, Emily grew up internalizing criticisms about her impulsivity and lack of follow-through. She held onto that shame as she tried (and often failed) to fit into a world designed for neurotypical brains. I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is a personal essay collection of laugh-out-loud-funny, tear-jerking, and at times cringey true stories of Emily's experiences as a neurodivergent woman. With the newfound knowledge of her ADHD, Emily candidly reexamines her complicated relationships (including one with a celebrity stalker), her money problems, the years she spent unknowingly self-medicating, and her hyperfixations (two words: decorative baskets). A memoir-in-essays both entertaining and enlightening, I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is for people with ADHD, as well as those who know and love them. This is a powerful collection of deeply relatable, wide-ranging stories about a woman's right to control her own body, about overwhelm and oversharing, about drinking too much and sleeping too little, and about being misunderstood by the people closest to you. At its heart, I’ll Just Be Five More Minutes is about not quite fitting in and not really understanding why—something we’ve all felt whether we're neurodivergent or not.

Book Description

What makes one happy? What gives him the everlasting peace of mind? The bliss? These questions have been asked millions of times and many people have attempted to find the answer. For me, when someone knows that he has been making right choice every time, even in the most difficult situation, he experiences the bliss. And what is it that prompts him to make those right choices? His values , the divine wisdom. Is this wisdom a monopoly of any faith, culture, or race? Definitely not. This is the same wisdom preached by all faiths, all masters, and all the scriptures. In fact, this is the knowledge that all of us are born with. But over a period of time, the corrupt political, economical and social surroundings mislead our minds and cover this divine spark with ashes of ignorance. It is my strong belief that these stories will blow the ash away and make the spark glow again in its original brightness. The person with his value system rejuvenated by this wisdom, finds himself in constant touch with its higher self. He does not only live in peace with himself but with the whole society as well. He develops the enormous acceptance and compassionate love for every thing around him. He drops all the artificial boundaries in his mind and discovers the true purpose of his lifethat ultimately makes him a better human being!

Book Description

Afterbirth is about what parenting is really like: full of inappropriate impulses, unbelievable frustrations, and idiotic situations. It's about how life for some parents changes for the worse after their kids are born. Or so it feels. It's about how not every threeyear- old is charming and delightful and about how sometimes when your kid is having a tantrum, you have to stifle the impulse to round-house him. And Afterbirth is funny—the participants are some of the best comic writers and performers today, turning their attention very close to home and sparing no one, particularly themselves. The thirty-five pieces include: • Caroline Aaron on what it feels like when the kid moves out of the house ("The New Parenting Paradigm") • Christie Mellor on why it's dangerous to tell people what you really think about being a mommy ("Yahooey") • Joan Rater on parenting the unexpected ("Attachment Adoption") • Neil Pollack on unforeseeable and unreasonable parental rage ("The Tennis Pro") • Matt Weiner on trying not to parent violently like his father did ("Go Easy on the Old Man")

Book Description

Love and Other Stuff is a poetry collection that looks at the subject of love and things such as sadness, inspiration and thought provoking material to mention a few as seen through the eyes of the writer. Unconditional love is probably love in its purest form yet love means so many different things to different people. Some are good and some not so. In Love and Other Stuff the writer explores both sides of the coin to look at the good (as love should be) and also the bad but she also throws in a bit of humor, a bit of silliness and allows the reader into some of her most private thoughts.
