Every one of us lives in a box. This box determines what we see and what we do not see. It tells us who to love and hate. What to fight for. How to live. Who we are. Our boxes -- the collection of stories we tell about ourselves and the world -- create the human drama. Whether you become a pawn in this drama or take control of your destiny depends on the ability to answer two questions: Why is my box the way it is? How can I transform it? By examining the forces that have shaped your most deeply held beliefs, this book challenges you to think outside the box that society has provided for you ... ... and begin writing your own story.

A box is just a box . . . unless it's not a box. From mountain to rocket ship, a small rabbit shows that a box will go as far as the imagination allows. Inspired by a memory of sitting in a box on her driveway with her sister, Antoinette Portis captures the thrill when pretend feels so real that it actually becomes real—when the imagination takes over and inside a cardboard box, a child is transported to a world where anything is possible.
DavinaI'd walked into an alley where death awaited me. Terrified under the brittle moon, I'd been left behind as blood swept into the pristine snow. I'd closed my eyes and waited for the afterlife, welcoming it. Death had never come for me, but it ended the life I once knew. Now, I lived in fear, running from a world ruled by vicious men. An organized world where power and violence had no limit. And I was in the middle of it all. It'd led me to him, Ilias. But in this world, my nightmare was etched in the face of every man I stumbled upon. I didn't trust anyone, but my heart trusted him. Even while my mind kept a bullet between us.Ilias I was given an assignment, an order. Failure wasn't an option. Not when it meant her, Davina. But how could I keep her alive? I was no hero. Just a man dressed as one, with a heart as corrupted as the same men I grew up with.
In this delightful sequel to Peeling the Onion, Günter Grass writes in the voices of his eight children as they record memories of their childhoods, of growing up, of their father, who was always at work on a new book, always at the margins of their lives. Memories contradictory, critical, loving, accusatory - they piece together an intimate picture of this most public of men. To say nothing of Marie, Grass's assistant, a family friend of many years, perhaps even a lover, whose snapshots taken with an old-fashioned Agfa box camera provide the author with ideas for his work. But her images offer much more. They reveal a truth beyond the ordinary detail of life, depict the future, tell what might have been, grant the wishes in visual form of those photographed. The children speculate on the nature of this magic: was the enchanted camera a source of inspiration for their father? Did it represent the power of art itself? Was it the eye of God?

The Story of Boxes, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly by Nicholas Haines,Magnusdottir, Runa Pdf
Have you ever heard someone say "Men are like this" or "Women are like that" Or the latest, "Millennials think this way" That's putting people into Boxes, and it immediately limits them to their Box.What if you're a woman, and collaboration isn't your style? Or a man and all you want to do is care and collaborate?Or you're a Millennial and you don't live on your phone? And the list goes on and on... Putting people into boxes limit us all in terms of who we are and what we can become. The Story of Boxes: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly shines a light on our mental habit of thinking in "boxes" - the authors' lucid metaphor for the generalisations, classifications, and stereotypes that shape our thoughts and, ultimately, our lives. We are living in turbulent times. Conflict and social unrest seem to be everywhere, and rapid technological changes are only adding to the cultural upheavals. Uncertainty - about the future, about ourselves - looms large in the collective consciousness of humanity. But is there a realistic path towards liberation, peace, and happiness for us all? Yes, there is - according to the authors of The Story of Boxes. The issue is that we all have a tendency to think in boxes - mentally placing people, ideas, and even objects (like underpants!) into rigid categories. Some of these categories - or "boxes" - are good. They are a source of joy and comfort. Others are bad - responsible for creating immense pain, isolation, and division in the world. And others? They're just plain ugly! Once you become aware of the boxes that rule your personal life, the authors say, you can break out of box-based thinking and live a life that's freer and happier. You are no longer caged in by the walls of mental boxes. By investigating our unconscious and conscious boxes - and sharing inspirational stories and easy-to-grasp examples - this always cogent, sometimes funny book gives you a new way of thinking about reality. The book explores some of humanity's most salient and enduring boxes, including gender, race, sexuality, religion, and class - and gives you a key to unlock the boxes in your own mind. The Story Of Boxes, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly - The Secret to Human Liberation, Peace and Happiness by Rúna Magnúsdóttir and Nicholas Haines is a new way of looking at the world, explains what limits us as human beings, and sets us on a path to be and love who we truly are.

The Relive Box and Other Stories by T.C. Boyle Pdf
While T.C. Boyle is known as one of our greatest American novelists, he is also an acknowledged master of the short story and is perhaps at his funniest, his most moving, and his most surprising in the short form. In The Relive Box, Boyle's sharp wit and rich imagination combine with a penetrating social consciousness to produce raucous, poignant, and expansive short stories defined by an inimitable voice. From the collection's title story, featuring a Halcom X1520 Relive Box that allows users to experience anew almost any moment from their past to "The Five-Pound Burrito," the tale of a man aiming to build the biggest burrito in town, the twelve stories in this collection speak to the humor, the pathos, and the struggle that is part of being human while relishing the whimsy of wordplay and the power of a story well told. In stories that span a variety of styles and genres, Boyle addresses the enduring concerns of the human mind and heart while taking on timely social concerns. The Relive Box is an exuberant, linguistically dazzling effort from a "vibrant sensibility fully engaged with American society." (The New York Times)

The eleven stories and one novella of Mother Box, and Other Tales bring together everyday reality and something that is dramatically not in compelling narratives of new possibilities. In language that is both barb and bauble, bitter and unbearably sweet, Sarah Blackman spins the threads of stories where everything is probable and nothing is constant. The stories in Mother Box, and Other Tales occur in an in-between world of outlandish possibility that has become irrefutable reality: a woman gives birth to seven babies and realizes at one of their weddings that they were foxes all along; a girl with irritating social quirks has been raised literally by cardboard boxes; a young woman throws a dinner party only to have her elaborate dessert upstaged by one of the guests who, as it turns out, is the moon. Love between mothers and children is a puzzling thrum that sounds at the very edge of hearing; a muted pulse that, nevertheless, beats and beats and beats. In these tales, the prosaic details of everyday life—a half-eaten sandwich, an unopened pack of letters on a table—take on fevered significance as the characters blunder into revelations that occlude even as they unfold.
