McDaniels "Literary Dilettante" (usa) - See all my reviews This review is from: Kippys Poetry, Thoughts, Proses (Paperback) "Kippys Poetry, Thoughts, Proses" by Darryl K. Porter seemed at first glance exactly as advertised; a book of insights shape by poetry, yet there is so much more. So while I think everyone will appreciate the observations leaven with wit, and be entertained by the turn of phrase,you will find it is only on the second reading that you began to realize the musicality of Darryls work. He seems to live in a world of rhythm, shaped by faith. The poem "The Symphony" is an example of the beautiful melding of both. Yet there is also an underlying anger see "What is the Bottomline." aimed at those agencies that would shut down the potential we all have to express the music God gave us. This is a book of that offers a spiritual perspective of the varying emotions we all experience.

Supernormal


Book Description

Clinical psychologist and author of The Defining Decade, Meg Jay takes us into the world of the supernormal: those who soar to unexpected heights after childhood adversity. Whether it is the loss of a parent to death or divorce; bullying; alcoholism or drug abuse in the home; mental illness in a parent or a sibling; neglect; emotional, physical or sexual abuse; having a parent in jail; or growing up alongside domestic violence, nearly 75% of us experience adversity by the age of 20. But these experiences are often kept secret, as are our courageous battles to overcome them. Drawing on nearly two decades of work with clients and students, Jay tells the tale of ordinary people made extraordinary by these all-too-common experiences, everyday superheroes who have made a life out of dodging bullets and leaping over obstacles, even as they hide in plain sight as doctors, artists, entrepreneurs, lawyers, parents, activists, teachers, students and readers. She gives a voice to the supernormals among us as they reveal not only "How do they do it?" but also "How does it feel?" These powerful stories, and those of public figures from Andre Agassi to Jay Z, will show supernormals they are not alone but are, in fact, in good company. Marvelously researched and compassionately written, this exceptional book narrates the continuing saga that is resilience as it challenges us to consider whether -- and how -- the good wins out in the end.
