Book Description
In THE PEOPLE YOU ARE, Rita Carter - award-winning science writer and international speaker - offers a new and vital understanding of personality. Rita explains that nearly every one of us is a team of personalities, working together, for the most part, to give the impression of a unified self. We are used to thinking of ourselves as one thing or the other - either introvert or extrovert, say - but things are rarely that simple for most of us. That's why we sometimes feel like a different person depending on mood, company and surroundings, why we sometimes suffer unaccountable memory lapses, why we buy something we then decide we didn't want in the first place, or why 'somebody else' turns off the alarm clock in the morning. Importantly, THE PEOPLE YOU ARE is also a practical guide to building a happy 'household' of personalities, explaining how to identify these different versions of ourselves and how to enable them to co-operate so that we can function successfully in life. THE PEOPLE YOU ARE is both an eye-opening and highly practical account of personality.

The People You Meet in Real Life

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 234

Book Description
Did you ever stop to think that the person who just walked by was someone you were supposed to meet? In this fast-paced world, we sometimes miss opportunities to become inspired by complete strangers, or even someone close to us. For years, Melissa "Missy" Hopely struggled with this idea because, although family and teammates always surrounded her, she felt completely alone in her battle with depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and bullying. Missy was diagnosed with OCD and depression as a teenager. Although she excelled as an athlete in sports like soccer and softball, Missy had a difficult time with normal social interactions and relationships. She struggled with a sometimes-crippling anxiety that made her stand out in a negative way to her peers, causing them to bully her at school. Persevering through years of hiding her true self, enduring her parents' difficult and painful divorce, and being abandoned by friends who couldn't cope with her differences, Missy started listening to others' stories. All of the people she had met throughout her lifetime. What she found out astonished her: Everyone has a story. Everyone feels insignificant at times. Everyone has challenges. Everyone will experience both bad and good. Everything we experience and go through is a part of us, but it doesn't have to define us. And, most important: Others have been where you are; you are not alone. This book tells not only Missy's story, but also the inspirational stories of courage and perseverance of people Missy has met "in real life." People like Carolyn, a high school student diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. Kimberly, a mom whose daughter's suicide made national television headlines. Lafayette, who has been HIV positive since birth. Jordan, who suffers from depression and bi-polar disorder and tried to take his own life by jumping out a ninth-story window. Ryan, a semi-professional boxer and college student who doesn't let his amputation slow him down. P-Track, who doesn't let his Asperger syndrome keep him from dancing. And, so many others. Missy's positive, encouraging message shines through these stories: If we take a second, we as individuals have the great power of uniting and working together to change other people's lives and our world for the better.

Prisms of the People

Author: Hahrie Han
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022674406X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 234

Book Description
Grassroots organizing and collective action have always been fundamental to American democracy but have been burgeoning since the 2016 election, as people struggle to make their voices heard in this moment of societal upheaval. Unfortunately much of that action has not had the kind of impact participants might want, especially among movements representing the poor and marginalized who often have the most at stake when it comes to rights and equality. Yet, some instances of collective action have succeeded. What’s the difference between a movement that wins victories for its constituents, and one that fails? What are the factors that make collective action powerful? Prisms of the People addresses those questions and more. Using data from six movement organizations—including a coalition that organized a 104-day protest in Phoenix in 2010 and another that helped restore voting rights to the formerly incarcerated in Virginia—Hahrie Han, Elizabeth McKenna, and Michelle Oyakawa show that the power of successful movements most often is rooted in their ability to act as “prisms of the people,” turning participation into political power just as prisms transform white light into rainbows. Understanding the organizational design choices that shape the people, their leaders, and their strategies can help us understand how grassroots groups achieve their goals. Linking strong scholarship to a deep understanding of the needs and outlook of activists, Prisms of the People is the perfect book for our moment—for understanding what’s happening and propelling it forward.
