Easy Crafts For The Insane - Kelly Williams Brown - Bog - Penguin Putnam Inc - Plusbog.dk

Kelly Williams Brown had two Very Bad years. In just a short time period, her marriage collapsed, she broke three bones (in separate and unrelated incidents), her father was diagnosed with cancer... and she wound up in a psychiatric hospital. But right before that she had a few Very Good years: she wrote a bestselling memoir, spoke at NASA, had a beautiful wedding, and inspired hundreds of thousands of readers to live as grown-ups as the bestselling author of Adulting. (Yes, that was her. No, she didn''t trademark the phrase - to her everlasting financial regret.) What got her through the Very Bad years was, improbably, crafting. Not Martha Stewart-perfect crafting, either - it was rough-and-tumble, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants creating that was Brown''s lifeline during her darkest days. Surprising, humane, and utterly unforgettable, Easy Crafts for the Insane is a poignant and hysterical look at the unexpected, messy coping mechanisms we use to find ourselves again.

Play - Stuart Brown M.d. - Bog - Penguin Putnam Inc - Plusbog.dk

From a leading expert, a groundbreaking book on the science of play, and its essential role in fueling our happiness and intelligence throughout our lives We''ve all seen the happiness on the face of a child while playing in the school yard. Or the blissful abandon of a golden retriever racing across a lawn. This is the joy of play. By definition, play is purposeless, all-consuming, and fun. But as Dr. Stuart Brown illustrates, play is anything but trivial. It is a biological drive as integral to our health as sleep or nutrition. We are designed by nature to flourish through play. Dr. Brown has spent his career studying animal behavior and conducting more than six-thousand "play histories" of humans from all walks of life-from serial murderers to Nobel Prize winners. Backed by the latest research, Play explains why play is essential to our social skills, adaptability, intelligence, creativity, ability to problem solve and more. Particularly in tough times, we need to play more than ever, as it''s the very means by which we prepare for the unexpected, search out new solutions, and remain optimistic. A fascinating blend of cutting-edge neuroscience, biology, psychology, social science, and inspiring human stories of the transformative power of play, this book proves why play just might be the most important work we can ever do.
