The author calls this attribute as being "live wired", as compared to "hardwired" instincts and behaviors that many animals are born with. The lack of preparedness during birth (as compared to animals) gives us the flexibility to adapt and thrive in different environments. "Neurally speaking, who you are depends on where you’ve been."

Brief Summary of Book: Drive (The Bittersweet Symphony Duet, #1) by Kate Stewart ![]() ![]() It's FOUR-STARS and not five-stars because Shugo Chara is a little too shoujo for me. But I want to review what I feel about this story so far, and I GIVE THIS STORY FOUR-STARS BECAUSE OF IT'S AWESOME BRILLIANCE!!!!!!! I started reading Shugo Chara when I was in the 6th grade, and I've only read up to volume nine-so nope, I'm not finished. This is where the plot begins to pick up. One night, she wishes that she would be able to show her true self to others, and the next morning, three small eggs appear in her room. She has problems with showing her true feelings and emotions. She dresses "punky and cool", but she's always wanted to wear something girly with lace. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Shugo Chara (NOTE: Pronounced Shoo-goh kah-rah!

With inimitable good humor, vulnerability, and boundless charm, Lindy boldly shares how to survive in a world where not all stories are created equal and not all bodies are treated with equal respect, and how to weather hatred, loneliness, harassment, and loss, and walk away laughing. Shrill is an uproarious memoir, a feminist rallying cry in a world that thinks gender politics are tedious and that women, especially feminists, can't be funny.Ĭoming of age in a culture that demands women be as small, quiet, and compliant as possible - like a porcelain dove that will also have sex with you - writer and humoristLindy West quickly discovered that she was anything but.įrom a painfully shy childhood in which she tried, unsuccessfully, to hide her big body and even bigger opinions to her public war with stand-up comedians over rape jokes to her struggle to convince herself, and then the world, that fat people have value to her accidental activism and never-ending battle royale with Internet trolls, Lindy narrates her life with a blend of humor and pathos that manages to make a trip to the abortion clinic funny and wring tears out of a story about diarrhea. ![]() ![]() Not only will you learn more about yourself, but you will also start to see the world through other people's eyes, understanding how and why people think, feel, and act the way they do.īeginning with changes you can start making today, the wisdom of the Enneagram can help take you further along into who you really are-leading you into places of spiritual discovery you would never have found on your own, and paving the way to the wiser, more compassionate person you want to become. ![]() ![]() Witty and filled with stories, this book allows you to peek inside each of the nine Enneagram types, keeping you turning the pages long after you have read the chapter about your own number.

In a way that echoes quantum theory and in particular, the concept of Schrödinger’s cat, characters are simultaneously dead and alive, having been killed off in one chapter only to turn up alive and kicking in the next. In a way that prefigures the modern-day ‘narrative’ of computer and video games, where multiple paths through the game are possible, Ts’ui Pen’s novel doesn’t so much reject linearity – such a complete rejection would be possible, when we are still required to read forwards, turning one page at a time – as build simultaneity, and multiple possible outcomes, into its linear structure. ![]() |
