Title: Function of Reason
Author: Ronald Arjune
Category: Self Help/Schizophrenia
Publisher: Publish America
ISBN# 978-1-4489-2470-7
Pages: 241
Price: $19.95
Function of Reason is a projection of mind-analyzing beliefs to understand your bearing in this world in a pathological way. The heart is trying to understand the mind and its exposure in the environment with the schizophrenia variable processing the beliefs and comparing it to reality to create logic for sanity. This quest is instinctually applied to the words constructed as the design of sentences reflected in the poems indicate nature and personality. There is always a feeling to go beyond the intelligence limit by using more effort to think of a more precise or complicated syntax in the poems to convey feelings as if trying to expose the soul to the world. You think in the subconscious trying to solve mental illness by applying a force of will that is more than required to hopefully uncover reality to expose the mysteries of the unknown that would explain the illness. Verification that this is being accomplished is made with the interpretation of physical associations related with concurrent thoughts entertained that justifies belief.
Title: THE BOY WHO LOVED TORNADOES
Author: Randi Davenport
Category: Memoir
Publisher: Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill
ISBN: 978-1-56512-611-4
Pages: 384
Size: 5.5"x8.25"
Price: $23.95
An unsentimental and unflinching portrait of love, courage, and hope as a family navigates a harrowing emotional terrain.
Randi Davenport worked hard to provide her family with a sense of stability and strength. Despite her son Chase’s diagnosis of autism, he attended school, loved to go boogie boarding, had a passion for music and even won a blue ribbon at a science fair. But, at 15, he began exhibiting mysterious psychiatric behaviors for which the doctors could find no treatment. Pursued by terrifying images, unwilling to eat or talk, unable to recognize his mother, Chase became ever more tortured and unreachable and Randi became relentless in her efforts to save him.
This is the heroic story of how a mother’s uncompromising love for her children brought her son back from the brink of suicide and enabled her young daughter— caught in the family tempest—to find strength in her own resilience and compassion.
Fear less, hope more;
Whine less, breathe more;
Talk less, say more;
Hate less, love more;
And all good things are yours.
Swedish Proverb
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
Eleanor Roosevelt
My personal trials have taught me the value of unmerited suffering. As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways that I could respond to my situation: either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force.
Martin Luther King, Jr
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.... Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture. Do not build obstacles in your imagination. Do not be awestruck by other people and try to copy them. Nobody can be you as efficiently as you can.
Norman Vincent Peale
If you look to others for fulfillment,
you will never be fulfilled.
If your happiness depends on money,
you will never be happy with yourself.
Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the world belongs to you.
Lao Tzu
If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.
Nora Roberts
Experience is not what happens to you;
It is what you do with what happens to you.
Aldous Huxley
When one door closes another door opens;
But we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door,
that we do not see the ones which open for us.
Alexander Graham Bell
Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.
Victor Hugo
