What makes it difficult to discuss racism with white people? DiAngelo provides a simplified yet in-depth explanation of how white fragility acts as an instigator in racial stereotypes, particularly in the present-day American society. She likewise includes viable suggestions on how white people can work on their own racial prejudices, despite the hard challenges coupled with it. The book’s objective is to show readers how a seemingly embedded system of racism can still be deconstructed and reformatted in order to embrace a more open-minded perspective and acceptance of the diversity that surrounds us. |

Besides her famous diaries and erotica, Anaïs Nin (1903-1977) is known for her inspirational and insightful quotations. When one googles “Anaïs Nin quotes,” more than 21,000 websites appear, making her one of the most oft-quoted authors on the web. This alone is reason enough to collect her most popular and meaningful quotations into one book, but there is another as well: the inaccuracies and misinformation which frequently occur in our cut-and-paste internet culture. The Quotable Anaïs Nin rectifies these errors by taking each quotation word for word directly from its source and accurately citing it. If a quotation found on the web does not exist in Nin’s work, it is not included here, which means some popular sayings attributed to Nin are absent. Examples of this include the poem “Risk,” which begins with “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud…” and “Good things happen to those who hustle.” Not only do these quotations not belong to Nin, their authors have been verified as Elizabeth Appell and Chuck Noll, respectively. There are probably dozens of other misattributed “Nin quotes” floating around the web. The contents of The Quotable Anaïs Nin are divided into general themes that reflect the general characteristics of Nin’s writing: lust for life, love and sensuality, consciousness, men and women, and writing and art. Within each category, the quotations are arranged and numbered according to the title of their sources. Quotations from Nin’s unpublished diaries are cited as “unpublished diary, 1948,” etc. The novels included in Cities of the Interior are cited using the pagination from the collection, not the individually published novels. When quotations appear in more than one source, the following protocol is used: the quote from the earliest source is used unless the wording in a newer source is more widely known. For example, in the original handwritten diary of the 1940s, Nin wrote, “Life shrinks in proportion to one’s courage,” which appears in Mirages: The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1939-1947 (published in 2013). During the editing process for the third volume of The Diary of Anaïs Nin (published in 1969), Nin changed the wording to “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage,” which is the most recognizable version and, therefore, the one used here. The Quotable Anaïs Nin is not only a useful reference book, it is also a source of thought-provoking and stimulating quotations, one for each day of the year. The fact that this book is digitally searchable will surely enhance its value to readers and scholars alike. |

Man's Search for Meaning: by Viktor E. Frankl | Key Takeaways, Analysis & Review   Preview: Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl is a memoir of Frankl’s imprisonment in concentration camps during World War II, and a brief description of the principles of logotherapy, a school of psychotherapy that he founded.   Frankl and his family were imprisoned in concentration camps during the war. Frankl was held in several camps before he was liberated from the last in 1945. During his time in the camps, Frankl witnessed the extreme cruelty of camp guards and the prisoners who were given special status by them, also known as Capos. He also witnessed the cruelty of the prisoners to each other as they underwent the three stages of reaction to their imprisonment. These stages are denial, acceptance, and adjustment after their release. Frankl discovered that, although the prisoners seemed completely powerless, they had the freedom to choose their reaction to their circumstances. Those prisoners who were most resilient were those who had something to live for…   PLEASE NOTE: This is key takeaways and analysis  of the book and NOT the original book.    Inside this Instaread of Man's Search for Meaning: • Overview of the book • Important People • Key Takeaways • Analysis of Key Takeaways     About the Author With Instaread, you can get the key takeaways and analysis of a book in 15 minutes.

The book is actually a follow-up to his book Diet Evolution. As such, it follows a similar pattern and has a similar message the author wanted to share with his readers.  The most important thing about this book is that it tries to discuss the source or the root causes of many health problems. The author invested many years of research in order to write this book and to come up with many of his ideas.

Getting stuck is a normal part of the writing process, even for experienced writers. My aim in publishing this Short Guide is to help you generate new writing projects, keep your writing projects moving forward, and ensure that your writing process results in publications. A Short Guide to the Scholarly Writing Process focuses on writing as a process, from your initial curiosity about a topic or question, through the development of arguments, the identification of potential readers, the specification of a product, and the refinement of your writing for publication in a specific form. Advice about each stage of the process is accompanied by writing prompts to help you apply that advice in your own particular circumstances. I suggest reading through the Guide once to get a sense of how the whole thing fits together. Then, whenever you are stuck with a writing project, go to the part that speaks to what you need in that moment. Use the questions in that section to get things moving. I encourage you to actually write out answers to the questions. You are a writer. Writing is how you process your thoughts. Depending on where you are stuck, it might even be appropriate to write your answers in your project document. Short Guides #1, 9500 words approx |
