Suffering and loss are a part of life. Whether it’s a divorce, a layoff, a death, a physical illness, financial loss, or other significant life change, as human beings we all go through events that create emotional pain and turmoil. Feelings of depression, anxiety, anger, helplessness, failure, shame, and guilt often follow the seismic shift that arises out of our suffering during these experiences. Get Up And Keep Going explores how to transition from hardship and distress to a place where we not only recover but thrive. Within each devastating experience is an opportunity to transform pain into meaningful and insightful lessons for personal growth and self-discovery. Garett Guenot shares his experience working as a psychotherapist with people who’ve overcome major life obstacles to emerge as conquerors of their own misfortune. You’ll learn the tools and techniques to overcome failure, recover from loss, master your emotions, manage pain and anxiety, feel empowered and self-confident, and develop the strength to take on the challenges in your life. You can choose to live in suffering or choose to live a full life and discover who you were born to be.

On the other hand, I was part of another family, one that was showing us that in times of conflict we could rely on each other without reservation—different brothers than those at home, but brothers none the less. As with any family we had our differences, but when push came to shove, we were together, and one day our lives might depend on it As a directionless eighteen-year-old in a mid sixties small village in England, John Green decides to join The Life Guards if only to defy his father, who once had a naval career. For sixteen weeks, John and his fellow recruits undergo punishing physical challenges, a grueling, daily routine of exhausting and meticulous cleaning and polishing, and endless inspections under the caustic eye of their never-pleased training officer. But as time goes on, this challenging training and the good humored camaraderie that arises between the recruits makes them capable of doing things they never dreamed of. With great humor, emotional insight, and a pride that has never left him, John Green makes the day-to-day life of young men in military training very, very real: from the insecurities; to the punishing physical challenges; to the daily, insulting criticisms of superiors; to the homesickness...and on into the bonding, maturing, and hard-won achievement that turns scared, homesick boys into soldiers and young men of distinction.

By any standard and all expectations, James leads a typical Southern California middle class upbringing. AYSO soccer, a treehouse, best friends, a first love, and then off to college. But what happens when things unexpectedly fall apart? What happens when the security and hope of a quiet and satisfying childhood is upended with death, drugs and bad relationships? This is James’ story. A story about falling down, getting back up and then falling down even further. Set in the 90’s and early 2000’s, this story takes place in a time before social media, smartphones and all that comes with the world we know today. This is a story based on social interactions and a life that is led outside, a life not set behind screens and status updates. Blue Door, Red Bowl tells the story of a man trying to make things right, a story about a life with its challenges but ultimately, a life worth living.

Corpus Linguistics, Context and Culture demonstrates the potential of corpus linguistic methods for investigating language patterns across a range of contexts. Organised in three sections, the chapters range from detailed case studies on lexico-grammatical patterns to fundamental discussions of meaning as part of the ‘discourse, contexts and cultures’ theme. The final part on ‘learner contexts’ specifically emphasises the need for mixed-method approaches and the consideration of pedagogical implications for real world contexts. Beyond its contribution to current debates in the field, this edited volume indicates new directions in cross-disciplinary work.

This story is about a single parent, not by choice. Who in their right mind would make such an endeavor? I took the bitter with the sweet and made the most of the cards I was dealt. After many continuous perils in my life, I woke up one day and emerged from the rubble as a massive human force. I triumphantly succeeded after a lifetime of uncertainties. During the trials of my life, I metamorphosed into an unrecognizable, magnificent born-again creature, a person whom only time itself and great wisdom could reproduce.

The third book in Dawn Dais's popular Sh!t No One Tells You series covers all a parent needs to know once the reality of having two children settles in. Around the time your first baby turns a year old your brain will turn on you. For reasons that are still not understood by science, the sleep deprivation and postpartum hormones you barely survived with your first baby fade from memory and will be replaced with idyllic images of your growing child. This is when your brain, having officially lost all regard for your well-being, begins to fantasize about a second baby. And for the first time since becoming a parent these thoughts don't make you break out in hives. Before you know it, you are dressing your first child in "I'm Going to be a Big Sister!" T-shirts and catalog-shopping for bunk beds. This will be fantastic! But then that familiar morning sickness kicks in. And your adorable 18-month-old transforms into a two-year-old terror. That's when those hives start to return.
