Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. 1 In the spring of 1992-it was around Easter as I recall-an extraordinary phenomenon occurred in my life. God began talking with you. Through me. Let me explain. I was very unhappy during that period, personally, professionally, and emotionally, and my life was feeling like a failure on all levels. As I’d been in the habit for years of writing my thoughts down in letters (which I usually never delivered), I picked up my trusty yellow legal pad and began pouring out my feelings. This time, rather than another letter to another person I imagined to be victimizing me, I thought I’d go straight to the source; straight to the greatest victimizer of them all. I decided to write a letter to God. It was a spiteful, passionate letter, full of confusions, contortions, and condemnations. And a pile of angry questions. Why wasn’t my life working? What would it take to get it to work? Why could I not find happiness in relationships? Was the experience of adequate money going to elude me forever? Finally-and most emphatically-What had I done to deserve a life of such continuing struggle?To my surprise, as I scribbled out the last of my bitter, unanswerable questions and prepared to toss my pen aside, my hand remained poised over the paper, as if held there by some invisible force. Abruptly, the pen began moving on its own. I had no idea what I was about to write, but an idea seemed to be coming, so I decided to flow with it. Out came…Do you really want an answer to all these questions, or are you just venting?I blinked, and then my mind came up with a reply. I wrote that down, too.Both. I’m venting, sure, but if these questions have answers, I’d sure as hell like to hear them!You are “sure as hell”…about a lot of things. But wouldn’t it be nice to be “sure as Heaven”?And I wrote:What is that supposed to mean?Before I knew it, I had begun a conversation…and I was not writing so much as taking dictation.That dictation went on for three years, and at the time, I had no idea where it was going. The answers to the questions I was putting on paper never came to me until the question was completely written and I’d put my own thoughts away. Often the answers came faster than I could write, and I found myself scribbling to keep up. When I became confused, or lost the feeling that the words were coming from somewhere else, I put the pen down and walked away from the dialogue until I again felt inspired-sorry, that’s the only word which truly fits-to return to the yellow legal pad and start transcribing again.These conversations are still going on as I write this. And much of it is found on the pages which follow…pages which contain an astounding dialogue which at first I disbelieved, then assumed to ...

Chapter One The World of Borderline Personality Disorder Everything looked and sounded unreal. Nothing was what it is. Thats what I wanted-to be alone with myself in another world where truth is untrue and life can hide from itself. -From Long Days Journey into Night, by Eugene ONeill Dr. White thought it would all be relatively straightforward. Over the five years he had been treating Jennifer, shed had few medical problems. Her stomach complaints were probably due to gastritis, he thought, so he treated her with antacids. But when her stomach pains became more intense despite treatment and routine testing proved normal, Dr. White admitted Jennifer to the hospital. After a thorough medical workup, Dr. White inquired about stresses Jennifer might be experiencing at work and home. She readily acknowledged that her job as a personnel manager for a major corporation was very pressured, but as she put it, Many people have pressure jobs. She also revealed that her home life was more hectic recently. She was trying to cope with her husbands busy legal practice while tending to the responsibilities of being a mother. But she doubted the connection of these factors to her stomach pains. When Dr. White recommended that Jennifer seek psychiatric consultation, she initially resisted. It was only after her discomfort turned into stabs of pain that she reluctantly agreed to see the psychiatrist Dr. Gray. They met a few days later. Appearing childlike and younger than her twenty-eight years, Jennifer lay in bed in a hospital room that had been transformed from an anonymous cubicle into a personalized lair. A stuffed animal sat next to her in bed, and another lay on the nightstand beside several pictures of her husband and son. Get-well cards were meticulously displayed in a line along the windowsill, flanked by flower arrangements. At first Jennifer was very formal, answering all of Dr. Grays questions with great seriousness. Then she joked about how her job was driving me to see a shrink. The longer she talked, the sadder she looked. Her voice became less domineering and more childlike. She told him how a job promotion was exacting more demands-new responsibilities that were making...

The child may be constantly on the go--wearing out everyone around him--or move slowly and tire easily, showing little interest in the world.Problems with posture or motor coordination? He may slouch, move awkwardly, seem careless or accident-prone.These are often the first clues to Sensory Processing Disorder--a common but frequently misdiagnosed problem in which the central nervous system misinterprets messages from the senses.

Reid and Williams want everyone to remember that theyre in good company: anxious people are some of the funniest and most interesting and creative humans on the planet. (They know, because they are two of them.) Review This book helped me feel less alone in my anxieties, while also laughing at the sheer absurdity of them. Thank you, Jordan and Erin, for giving voice to my silent screams.-Beth Newell, editor/cofounder of Reductress“I’ve tried apps, mediation, exercise, mindfulness, doctors, meds, and more to help my ever-growing beast of anxiety but nothing put it into perspective-or made me laugh more-than Reid and Williams’ smart, sassy, and absolutely genius The Big Activity Book for Anxious People.

My cuticles, hairline, and digestive system salute Reid and Williams!”-Phoebe Lapine, author of The Wellness Project What I love about this guide is a) it gives you something to actually do, other than sit with your angsty thoughts, b) its funny, not earnest-they poke fun at the cliche of being told just breathing will fix everything-and c) its subversive and offbeat. As someone with OCD, I personally related to the word scramble on the germiest spots in your hotel room. This book validates real fears while providing solutions that are both helpful and actually enjoyable.-Amy Keller Laird, former editor-in-chief of Womens Health; founder @club_mental A valuable tool for any sufferers who are looking for distraction, compassion, and real, viable solutions to our most common anxiety triggers.

And award-winning journalist and poet, Camerons genius is that she doesnt tell readers what they should do to achieve or who they should be--instead she creates a map for readers to start exploring these questions themselves.--Michael F. Melcher, Law Practice magazine This is not a self-help book in the normative sense. It is simply a powerful book that can challenge one to move into an entirely different state of personal expression and growth.--Nick Maddox, Deland Beacon T About the Author Julia Cameron has been an active artist for more than three decades.

-Titulo Original : Strapless John Singer Sargent And The Fall Of Madame X-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: The subject of John Singer Sargents most famous painting was twenty-three-year-old New Orleans Creole Virginie Gautreau, who moved to Paris and quickly became the it girl of her day. A relative unknown at the time, Sargent won the commission to paint her; the two must have recognized in each other a like-minded hunger for fame. Unveiled at the 1884 Paris Salon, Gautreaus portrait generated the attention she craved-but it led to infamy rather than stardom. Sargent had painted one strap of Gautreaus dress dangling from her shoulder, suggesting either the prelude to or the aftermath of sex. Her reputation irreparably damaged, Gautreau retired from public life, destroying all the mirrors in her home. Drawing on documents from private collections and other previously unexamined materials, and featuring a cast of characters including Oscar Wilde and Richard Wagner, Strapless is a tale of art and celebrity, obsession and betrayal. Review Readers will enjoy this brisk, sometimes breathless account of the creation of the work the artist once called his best...A fascinating commentary on the evanescence of fame and beauty. -- Kirkus Reviews An entertaining, observant novel about the gorgeous, enigmatic Madame X. --from Bustle s roundup of 11 Novels Every Art History-Lover Should Pick Up A stunner about a stunner. - The Philadelphia Inquirer The books pace is lively and its breadth impressive. -Houston Chronicle About the Author Deborah Davis is the author of Party of the Century: The Fabulous Story of Truman Capote and his Black and White Ball (Wiley, April 2006), and Strapless: John Singer Sargent and the Fall of Madame X (Tarcher/Putnam, 2003).

-Titulo Original : Societys Child My Autobiography-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: Janis Ian was catapulted into the spotlight in 1966 at the age of fifteen, when her soul-wrenching song ?Society?s Child? became a hit. An intimate portrait of an interracial relationship, ?Society?s Child? climbed the charts despite the fact that many radio stations across the country refused to play it because of its controversial subject matter. But this was only the beginning of a long and illustrious career. In this fascinating memoir of her more than forty years in the music business, Ian chronicles how she did drugs with Jimi Hendrix, went shopping for Grammy clothes with Janis Joplin, and sang with Mel Torme?all the while never ceasing to create unforgettable music. In 1975, Ian?s legendary ?At Seventeen? earned two Grammy awards and five nominations. Her next two albums brought her worldwide platinum hits. But after seven albums in as many years, she made a conscious decision to walk away from the often grueling music business. During this period, she struggled through a difficult marriage that ended with her then husband?s attempt to destroy her, and a sudden illness that very nearly cost her her life. The hiatus from music lasted for close to a decade until, in 1993, Ian returned with the release of the Grammy-nominated Breaking Silence.
