Cultural Relationship

Are you in an abusive relationship? Are you being controlled by others who say they care about you? Do you feel you have no power to change your life? Toxic people can be found anywhere in everyday life. They can be found in intimate relationships, in the workplace and in places of worship. They are self-centred, abusive, manipulative, and lacking empathy. They may be referred to as narcissistic, selfish, or sociopathic. They often mask their negative traits by being charming or friendly.

Il libro invita a riflettere sulla particolarità di ogni famiglia, sul diritto (e il dovere) di educare e allevare i figli in libertà, mettendo da parte i pregiudizi culturali e dando ascolto al proprio cuore e all'istinto.

This book will take you down a path of exploring what is a significantly bad feature of the world we occupy: The negative messages we are surrounded by about aging. Messages that can seep in, take root and solidify. They tell us that there is nothing we can do, which then causes us to begin to either fear, or be resigned to, a bad old age. It is difficult to find anyone that is not being infected by these messages. While some people come to know better and rebuff them, many others do not.

In his award-winning memoir Free Lunch, Rex Ogle’s abuela features as a source of love and support. In this companion-in-verse, Rex captures and celebrates the powerful presence a woman he could always count on—to give him warm hugs and ear kisses, to teach him precious words in Spanish, to bring him to the library where he could take out as many books as he wanted, and to offer safety when darkness closed in.

When did “parenting” become a verb? Why is it so hard to parent, and so rife with the possibility of failure? Sitcom families of the past—the Cleavers, the Bradys, the Conners—didn’t seem to lose any sleep about their parenting methods. Today, parents are likely to be up late, doomscrolling on parenting websites. In Long Days, Short Years, Andrew Bomback—physician, writer, and father of three young children—looks at why it can be so much fun to be a parent but, at the same time, so frustrating and difficult to parent.

My name is Juan Carlos, and this is part of my story. I have moved a lot throughout my life of 33 years: 16 times to be precise. In the summer of 2023, I did it again. It was exciting and at times difficult, too, but surely not an impossible task for anyone, including you. In this audiobook, we will tackle each one of these fears and fill you up with the strength and power you need to take that big step.

In these nine essays, Susan Lieberman is exploring The Country of Old, in which she finds herself a new immigrant. She examines the difficulties of leaving "that other place" and making sense of this new country. Lieberman's touch is light but her analysis of the challenges/opportunities of aging is provocative. "If we are not old, then we are dead," she notes. And if we are, indeed, not dead then how can we live well in this moment in our life span?
