The Curious Habits of Man by Brian Kenneth Swain Pdf

The Curious Habits of Man shares an amusing glimpse at life as one man contemplates many of our greatest--and smallest--questions. In this collection of essays the author tackles hundreds of life's questions while exploring a vast array of subjects -- from tubas to two-year-olds, from field goals to child labor laws, and from high school shop class to the worst round of golf ever played. With an ascerbic wit and an honest approach, Swain shares his perspective on such pivotal matters as how to ski without losing a limb or your self-esteem, how to correctly prepare and consume lobster according to Maine standards, and whether marketing ploys hypnotically convince consumers to replace perfectly functioning items without a second thought.

Curious Habits by Luke Mathers Pdf

A curious habit is helpful... until it's not.Attention to detail is great – perfectionism is a curious habit.Chocolate is awesome – using it to treat anxiety is a curious habit.Honest self-awareness is admirable – constantly beating yourself up is a curious habit.We have habits for a reason, we repeat things that feel good and move away from the stuff we don't like. Our habits solve a problem and make life easier. Unfortunately, our habits can turn on us. This book teaches us how to use curiosity as a superpower. It takes the blame and shame out of habit change so that we make the change not because we HAVE to, but because we WANT to.Drawing from the collective wisdom of evolutionary biology, neuroscience, Stoic philosophy and even Instagram, leading mindset coach Luke Mathers helps us embrace the power of curiosity to recognise when habits start to impact negatively our health and happiness. Curious Habits offers an entertaining, thought-provoking and non-judgmental exploration into why we do the things we do, and how to reset for a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life.

The Curious Habits of Dr Adams by Jane Robins Pdf

'Was rich Mrs Gertrude Hullett murdered at her luxurious 15-room home on Beachy Head? Detectives are tonight trying to establish the cause of the 50-year-old widow's sudden death . . . ' Daily Mail, 1957 In July 1957, the press descended in droves on the south-coast town of Eastbourne. An inquest had just been opened into the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of Mrs Bobbie Hullett. She died after months of apparent barbiturate abuse - the drugs prescribed to calm her nerves by her close friend and doctor, Dr John Bodkin Adams. The inquest brought to the surface years of whispered suspicion that had swept through the tea rooms, shops and nursing homes of the town. The doctor's alarming influence over the lives, deaths and finances of wealthy widows had not gone unnoticed - it was rumoured that the family doctor had been on a killing spree that spanned decades and involved 300 suspicious cases. Superintendent Hannam of Scotland Yard was called in to investigate. The Curious Habits of Dr Adams brilliantly brings to life the atmosphere of post-war England, and uses a wealth of new documents to follow the twists and turns of an extraordinary Scotland Yard murder enquiry. As expertly crafted as the best period detective novel, this book casts an entertainingly chilling light on a man reputed to be one of England's most prolific serial killers.

Crossing the Blue Willow Bridge by Nancy McCabe Pdf

In this sequel to Meeting Sophie, which tells the story of adopting Sophie as a single woman, Nancy McCabe picks up her family's story a decade later on a tour of China for adopted children. McCabe hopes that Sophie will find affirmation and connection in China, even as she sees firsthand some of the grim realities--overpopulation, pollution, and an oppressive government--but also worries about what that will mean for their relationship. Part travelogue, part memoir, Crossing the Blue Willow Bridge immerses readers in an absorbing and intimate exploration of place and its influence on the meaning of family.
