( ) “What is interesting to me is the question of whether a person can know one’s earlier self or if becoming a stranger to one’s own past experience is just a small, inevitable tragedy. We have memories, we think we know who we were, but do we really?” This is a crisply written but slight novel about Miriam Moscowitz, a young female Jewish university student in 1957 Toronto, which also presents her 48 years later on the day of her gay son’s wedding at the family home. I appreciated this quiet, finely observed little novel focusing on the continuity of the self over time, and I enjoyed all the Toronto references, having received part of my own education in that city. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Everyone can live a happier life, especially those with chronic illnesses. Brian Orend's smart and accessible guide for people with illness, injury, or other challenges provides both a satisfying look into happiness as well as practical steps for living a measurably happier life. When Brian Orend began having debilitating seizures that his doctors couldn't explain, he began a quest to learn how he could be happier, even despite his challenging circumstances. He dove into the research about happiness, only to realize that much of the advice about happiness was aimed at "everyone" ? failing to take into consideration the significant obstacles and circumstances faced by those with chronic conditions. Orend realized that the advice required for augmenting happiness needs to be tailored for those experiencing ongoing health challenges. And so he wrote Seizure the Day ? a smart, accessible guide, grounded in the latest scientific research, that tackles not only the background of happiness, but also provides concrete how-to advice for living a happier life. As Seizure the Day demonstrates, people confronting challenging circumstances can make themselves measurably and sustainably happier. A better life, for each of us, awaits.
