This book is the third collection of essays by behavioural
scientist Professor David Chan, most of which first appeared in The
Straits Times. Endorsed by fifty leaders from different sectors,
this book provides a powerful springboard for self-reflections,
sense-making, internal and public discussions, and individual and
collective actions. A common theme that runs through these essays
may be described as 'Meaning Matters' which refers to the content
and subject matter of the critical issues experienced by people and
what it means to them. It is also about why the way that people
think, feel and act as they make sense and meaning of their
experiences should matter to individual well-being and societal
progress in Singapore. This book goes beyond examining what
critical issues mean or matter to people, policy making and nation
building, and why they do, to focus on translating the 'what it
means' and 'why it means' to 'how it means' and 'when it means'.
The No.1 bestselling author reveals life-changing strategies to help you demolish fear, seize control, and reach your full potential.
The wall. Sooner or later we all hit it. The wall can be anything. It could be your lack of motivation, it could be your fear of leaving your comfort zone, it could be the aimlessness that comes from not having set yourself the right goals, it could be that you spend too much time with people who undermine you.
What all these things have in common is that they’re holding you back. They’re the things that are stopping you from reaching your true potential, from getting the most you can out of your life.
In this straight-talking inspirational book, Ant Middleton identifies twenty obstacles that are standing in our way, and offers common-sense, practical solutions to each of them. He shows the reader how they too can break through that wall and start becoming the best version of themselves.
Adventure, excitement, escape, and incarceration are keywords from
the psychiatric autobiography, From the Inside of the Keyhole. This
challenge to a diagnosis of manic depression or bipolar disorder
will have you riding on the crest of a wave as you wonder what will
happen next. Diagnosed with manic depressive psychosis at sixteen
years of age, author Margaret Griffiths takes you on a journey that
will expose you to the detrimental effects of psychiatric drugs and
the mysteries of life in a mental institution. You will find
poignancy and heartbreak, interspersed with anger, frustration,
hope, and achievement; you will be touched by the logic of
unreality. Is it possible for a peaceful, rational individual to
emerge from a plethora of drugs, frequent seclusions, and recurrent
internment? From the Inside of the Keyhole is set mainly in
Queensland, Australia, with a short period in Singapore and Hong
Kong, but the message it carries is relevant around the globe.
Check out the strategies, developed by the author, which may free
you from the effects of emotional turmoil, lack of sleep, and the
need for psychiatric drugs.
