Most speakers and writers use the terms metaphor and simile as if they mean exactly the same thing. But they are not! A simile is a metaphor, but not all metaphors are similes. A metaphor compares two things, and does so more directly without using as or like. For example, the shop was a little gold-mine. A simile compares (usually introduced by like or as) two things that are generally not alike--such as a line of migrant workers and a wave, or onion skins and a swarm of butterflies.Writers and authors use similes to explain things, to express emotion, or to make their writing more lively and entertaining. Metaphors also offer figurative comparisons, but these are implied rather than introduced by like or as.

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.

Man's Search for Meaning: A Comprehensive Summary To say that Man’s Search for Meaning is a book about the Holocaust would be to limit the book’s relevance. Of course, Frankl does share his experiences as a prisoner in some of the Holocaust’s most violent camps, but the book that was written as a product of his experiences parallels Frankl’s main message about this dark time in his life, as well as his psychological philosophy: meaning can be found in everything we do. Frankl’s experiences as a prisoner are not meant to explain the horrors that millions of individuals faced in concentration camps. It also does not focus on the heroes of the camps: men and women who somehow triumphed over their position in grand ways. Rather, Frankl shares his experiences in order to shed light on the day to day lives of the average inmate and the fact that they are his personal experiences validates many of his observations, as well as his resulting psychological theories. By personalizing what happened to the men around him, Frankl’s message about finding hope and purpose in even the worst situations is highlighted. Logotherapy, Frankl’s psychological theory, posits that all individuals in life struggle to find meaning, and many of the neuroses that patients develop are a result of not fulfilling this goal. Meaning is not something that one discovers in life, however. It is something that every individual must define for himself, moment to moment. This can be done through the work that they do, the love that they have for another human being, or the way in which they endure suffering. Suffering in particular is a point of focus in logotherapy because it shows that even in the worst conditions imaginable, even in Auschwitz and with no liberties, there is meaning and purpose to find in transcending our human limitations and choosing to endure our suffering with dignity and even pride.

The Psychology of Money - Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness -- A Comprehensive Summary The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel is a great book that teaches readers how they can grow their wealth today. The book is not complicated like many books that talk about the stock market and do nothing more than confuse the reader and build the writer's ego, but instead, it is filled with the knowledge that the reader can put to use. The book is packed full of wisdom for those who are new to the stock market. This book is not for those who are looking to become billionaires overnight but for those who want to grow their wealth over the long term and enjoy a comfortable life when they are older. There are plenty of stories about how greedy people have lost fortunes as well. You learn about the mindset of wealth and why that is important. The most important lesson that you will learn in this book is that how well you do with money has nothing to do with how smart you are, but it has everything to do with how you behave. That is why so many rich people end up broke after such a short period. They don’t know how to behave. However, it also means that an ordinary person can grow their wealth if they can learn a few behavioral skills. Here is a Preview of What You Will Get: - A Full Book Summary - An Analysis - Fun quizzes - Quiz Answers - Etc Get a copy of this summary and learn about the book.

Those who follow principles of Extreme Ownership accept ownership of not only those tasks which they directly control, but also those tasks which ultimately affect their success, even if those tasks are the immediate responsibility of someone else. In their book, Extreme Ownership , Jocko and Leif cover the main principles of leadership which they believe ultimately lead to success. They show us that there are only two types of leaders: effective ones and ineffective ones. Effective leaders are those leaders who understand and implement the core building blocks of leadership, which are in turn based on the fundamentals of Extreme Ownership. An effective leader is one who accepts Extreme Ownership as his or her core mindset. An ineffective leader is one who blames or leans too heavily on others. Please note that this summary of Extreme Ownership is NOT the original book and is meant to be read as a supplement to the original.
