Zest: How to Squeeze the Max out of Life
by Andy Cope Gavin Oattes Will Hussey‘ZEST’ equates to zing, enthusiasm, energy, gusto, eagerness, zeal and fervour. It also connotes a tang, a sharpness. It’s the opposite of bland. And Zest: How to Squeeze the Max out of Life is exactly that.It’s more than just a book on personal development. There are an awful lot of those. Zest is a catalyst, a spark that ignites your remembering of what makes you, in a word, you. It drives you to rethink, rejuvenate and reinvent. It also contains a touch of the revolutions. Have you, as a grown-up, fallen into the trap of becoming a Groan-up? You know you should try to make the best of things, but oftentimes you don’t know what your “best” is anymore. It’s strange. You used to know. What happened? Was it the years of social conformity? There is a whole beige generation out there – a generation that has lost its identity and forgotten who they once were – buried under the crushing, stifling facades of adulthood. If only there was a way to unearth your passions, recover the zest for life you once had. Maybe there is. Zest is a wake-up call for you to explore the formative moments that define your life. It challenges you to believe that your best days are still ahead, to search your soul, to shake things up and bask in the warmth of glorious individuality. Zest will help you: Explore the pivotal, defining moments in your life Examine both the good and bad experiences that define you Reconnect to the essence of who you are Embrace your quirks, qualities and peculiarities Determine to be the person you always wanted to be Zest is your permission to play, your licence to wreak the right kind of havoc. Moreover, it’s not about pretending to be someone you’re not, it’s about squeezing every last drop out of who you already are.

Zig-Zag Boy: A Memoir of Madness and Motherhood
by Tanya Frank“By turns an eloquent meditation on the power of nature and a terrifying exposé of…parenting a mentally ill child into adulthood.” —New York Times Book Review, Editors’ Choice A compassionate, heartrending memoir of a mother’s quest to accept her son’s journey through psychosis. One night in 2009, Tanya Frank finds her nineteen-year-old son, Zach—gentle and full of promise—in the grip of what the psychiatrists would label a psychotic break. Suddenly and inexplicably, Tanya is thrown into a parallel universe: Zach’s world, where the phones are bugged, his friends have joined the Mafia, and helicopters are spying on his family. In the years following Zach’s shifting psychiatric diagnoses, Tanya goes to war for her son, desperate to find the right answer, the right drug, the right doctor to bring him back to reality. She struggles to navigate archaic mental healthcare systems, first in California and then in her native London during lockdown. Meanwhile, the boy she raised—the chatty, precocious dog-lover, the teenager who spent summers surfing with his big brother, the UCLA student—suffers the effects of multiple hospitalizations, powerful drugs that blunt his emotions, therapies that don’t work, and torturous nights on the streets. Holding on to startling moments of hope and seeking solace in nature and community, Tanya learns how to abandon her fears for the future and accept the mysteries of her son’s altered states. With tenderness, lyricism, and generous candor, this compelling story conveys the power of a mother’s love. Zig-Zag Boy is both a moving lamentation for things lost and a brave testament to the people we become in difficult circumstances.

The Zippered Heart
by Marilyn Meberg"Why did I say that? Why did I do that? Where on earth did those mean thoughts and motivations come from? I'm so glad no one can read my mind." We all get whiplashed and sometimes broadsided by the "dark" side of our nature, which produces thoughts and behaviors that cause us to feel ashamed. many of us deny that part of ourselves, and kick it off somewhere in the shadowy recesses of the heart, where we hope it will stay put, not cause us any more trouble, and hopefully not be noticed.In The Zippered Heart, Marilyn does a gentle exploration of those secrets and issues which, if denied, can rob us of the abundant life we are promised in Christ. God means for us to be whole. This book is an encouragement in that process."This book will change lives, because it requires that we look precisely at both the dark and the light sides of ourselves. Then it brings an overflowing grace and forgiveness. As a psychologist with thirty-five years of clinical experience, I can say that this is one of the best books I have read." -Neil Clark Warren, author of Finding the Love of Your Life"Step into liberty through the rapscallion brilliance of Marilyn Meberg." -Patsy Clairmont, author of Mending Your Heart in a Broken World"For thirty years Marilyn's compassionate exploration of the human heart has amazed me. Now, with skill and tenderness she opens that heart for all of us to see how fearfully and wonderfully we are made." -Luci Swindoll, author, speaker, Women of Faith"The Zippered Heart is a perceptive and sensitive examination of the 'war within' between our two natures." -Archibald D. Hart, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Graduate School of Psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary

Zooburbia: Meditations on the Wild Animals Among Us
by Dave Buchen Tai MosesTo be alienated from animals is to live a life that is not quite whole, contends nature writer Tai Moses in Zooburbia: Meditations On The Wild Animals Among Us. Urban and suburban residents share their environment with many types of wildlife: squirrels, birds, spiders, and increasingly lizards, deer, and coyote. Many of us crave more contact with wild creatures, and recognize the small and large ways animals enrich our lives, yet don't notice the animals already around us.Zooburbia reveals the reverence that can be felt in the presence of animals and shows how that reverence connects us to a deeper, better part of ourselves. A lively blend of memoir, natural history, and mindfulness practices, Zooburbia makes the case for being mindful and compassionate stewards--and students--of the wildlife with whom we coexist. With lessons on industriousness, perseverance, presence, exuberance, gratitude, aging, how to let go, and much more, Tai's vignettes share the happy fact that none of us is alone and separate, and that our teachers are right in front of us. We need only go outdoors with our eyes and ears open to find a rapport with the animal kingdom. Zooburbia is a magnifying lens turned to our everyday environment, reminding us that we, as individuals and as a species, are not alone.Illustrated by Dave Buchen with original black and white wildlife linocuts.

Fate pairs the Seattle couple with eight-year-old Ukrainian twin sisters from Belarus—and rekindles Gail&’s childhood dream to build a bridge of peace between the US and the former Soviet Union.Over four summers of mayhem and magic with the twins, a deep relationship takes root. When the girls age out of the program that brought them to Seattle, Gail confronts her Cold War fears and travels with her husband to reunite with them in Ukraine and Belarus. On this soul-making trip to a land of unspeakable loss, she celebrates life in the homes of an accordion-playing Chernobyl hero and a barefooted babushka who distills her own vodka, and—behind the remnants of the Iron Curtain—finds her place as an honorary mother and babushka in a four-generation family of former Soviets. Poignant and culturally rich, her narrative transports readers to storied cities, villages, and dachas from Kyiv to Minsk.Written with reverence, insight, humor, and hope, Zoya&’s Gift illuminates the complexities, joys, and importance of reaching across political, class, and cultural divides.

Zwischenstopp Burnout: Praktische Hilfe für den geordneten Aus- und Wiedereinstieg - Recht, Finanzen, Versicherungen
by Iris RiffeltViele Menschen arbeiten sich regelrecht krank. Das Problem einfach nicht Nein sagen zu können, dem täglichen Stress nicht mehr gewachsen zu sein, ständige Überforderung und Druck führen bei mehr und mehr Personen zum Burnout. Erste Anzeichen der Krankheit werden nicht erkannt und aus Angst, nicht zu wissen, wie man sich denn wirklich zurücknehmen soll und wie man seine eigene Situation lösen soll, ignoriert und übergangen - bis gar nichts mehr geht. Genau bei dieser Angst setzt Iris Riffelt in ihrem Buch an. Sie beleuchtet, was jemanden erwartet, der sich auf dem Weg in das Burnout-Syndrom befindet, erste Anzeichen hat und nun die Notbremse ziehen muss. Besonders wichtig und deshalb einer der Schwerpunkte des Buches sind dabei die arbeitsrechtlichen Gesichtspunkte und die Abklärung finanzieller Fragen (Versicherung, Krankenkasse, Lohnfortzahlung usw.). Damit zeigt sie konkret Wege, dass und wie man aus dem Berufsleben aussteigen kann und welche Auswirkungen das auf das Einkommen hat. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist der berufliche Wiedereinstieg für alle, die sich auf dem Weg der Besserung befinden und sich zutrauen, ihre Arbeit Stück für Stück wieder aufzunehmen. Genauso richtet sich die Autorin auch an die Angehörigen von Burnout-Opfern, denn sie sind bei akuten Fällen oftmals diejenigen, die sich um alles kümmern und die Familie zusammenhalten müssen. Die 2., erweiterte Ausgabe enthält ein zusätzliches Kapitel zum Thema Krankheit. Auch die Änderungen bei der Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung und die neuen Entscheidungen zum Betrieblichen Wiedereingliederungsmanagements (BEM) sind mit aufgenommen. Das Buch ist äußerst pragmatisch und von klarer, übersichtlicher Struktur. Es bietet Tabellen, Checklisten, Kurzzusammenfassungen und soll mit kurzen und schnell lesbaren Textteilen (sie benötigen nicht mehr als 20 Minuten jeweils an Zeit) nicht noch zusätzlich überfordern. "Zwischenstopp Burnout" ist Mutmacher und soll Existenzängste nehmen. Die 2., überarbeitete Auflage beinhaltet u. a. die neuen Entscheidungen zum Betrieblichen Wiedereingliederungsmanagement (BEM) und Informationen zum Entgeltfortzahlungsgesetz (EntgFG).
