The Hero Business by Mark Seymour Pdf

Lying in the field behind my grandfather's house in the Hill Country, one hot summer night, I waited on his get-home whistle. It might've seemed late to a ten-year-old, but probably wasn't more than an hour after sunset. Lying on the ground, my battered hat for a pillow, I searched the sky for any of the constellations I'd seen in the book my grandfather'd carried out from town. The charts printed on the crisp pages couldn't begin to describe the mass of lights above me, no more than the swirling green constellations of the last of the season's fireflies blinking through the tops of the grass...Lying behind my grandfather's house, over thirty years ago now, watching the stars wheel across the sky, I felt at peace with the world. In all fields since, from elephant grass in Vietnam to scrubby deserts in New Mexico, covered in mud & dust & the blood of friends and enemies, rained on & fired on & shit on, in rice paddies & cotton fields & mine fields, I've never had that feeling again...

Heroism and Wellbeing in the 21st Century by Olivia Efthimiou,Scott T. Allison,Zeno E. Franco Pdf

Offering a holistic take on an emerging field, this edited collection examines how heroism manifests, is appropriated, and is constructed in a broad range of settings and from a variety of disciplines and perspectives. Psychologists, educators, lawyers, researchers and cultural analysts consider how heroism intersects with wellbeing, and how we still use—and even abuse—heroism as a vehicle to thrive and prosper in the everyday and in the face of the most unbearable situations. Highlighting some of the most pressing issues in today’s world—including genocide, racism, deceitful business practices, bystanderism, mental health, unethical governance and the global refugee crisis—this book applies a critical psychological perspective in synthesizing the social construction of heroism and wellbeing, contributing to the development of global wellbeing indicators and measures.

My Hero by Debbie Macomber Pdf

One for the keeper shelf! Enjoy again this charming classic romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber. Would-be romance writer Bailey York was a woman who’d already failed twice at love. As far as she was concerned, men were wonderful to read—and to write—about, but that was as close as she wanted to get. Which was probably why she had such difficulty creating a hero. She needed a real-life model, she finally decided. And she found one: Parker Davidson was everything a hero should be. Compellingly attractive. Forceful and determined, yet capable of tenderness. A man of substance. Parker was perfect for Bailey’s novel—but he wanted to be the hero in her life, not just in her book! Originally published in 1992
