Inside this book bursts a kaleidoscope of characters in historical settings from the Balkans to Scandinavia, which they seek to escape, fit in, or change. Following a few female leads after they leave war-torn Bosnia, this book compresses simmering emotions ranging from loss, fear, love, hate, revenge, displacement, regret, humor, & hope. Almasa, the main character in most stories, is feisty & funny, & she suffers no fools. She will go to any length to take charge of her broken life & avoid being labeled a victim. Fatima is like her subtler sister, but no less determined to turn the tables on her horrible fate. In between them are pieces of the author`s life, as fictionalized as the lives of the two women are real. Each story, although compact & unique on its own, is tied to all other stories, chronologically, emotionally, or thematically. Together they probe the margins of our contemporary history & give voice to people pushed to the edge of life. ...

`HOW TO FIX A BROKEN HEART PROVIDES THE VALIDATION, COMFORT & HOPE ANYONE WHO IS HEARTBROKEN DESPERATELY NEEDS.` ESTHER PEREL, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE STATE OF AFFAIRS & MATING IN CAPTIVITY Every one of us has or will have our heart broken at some point in our lives. Heartbreak, whether it comes in the form of romantic love or through loss, is universal, yet we know so little about how to deal with it. Psychologist Dr Guy Winch imagines how different our lives & our society would be if we paid more attention to this unique emotional pain. Heartbreak can last for days, weeks, months & even years. Yet while we wouldn`t expect someone to go to work or function well with a broken limb, heartbroken people are expected to function in their lives, despite the emotional pain they feel. How to Fix a Broken Heart argues that if we don`t understand how heartbreak works, we won`t be able to heal it & we are likely to make it worse, which we do, & regularly. Dr Winch reveals how & why heartbreak impacts our brain & our behaviour in dramatic & unexpected ways, regardless of our age. Emotional pain lowers our ability to reason, to think creatively, to problem solve & to function. Recovering from heartbreak always starts with a decision, a determination to move on when our mind is fighting to keep us stuck. We can take control of our lives & our minds & put ourselves on the path to healing. Dr Winch offers a toolkit on how to handle & cope with a broken heart & how to, eventually, move on. `A great read for anyone going through heartbreak, anyone trying to help someone go through heartbreak, or anyone who simply wants to understand humans better` Tim Urban, creator of Wait But Why? ...

How To Find Fulfilling Work

This is a book about how to take working life in new directions how to negotiate the labyrinth of choices, how to think about personal ambitions and motivations, and ultimately how to take concrete steps to finding a fulfilling career. It is a self-help book with a difference. Standard career guides are filled with pop psychology and bullet-point advice for writing CVs and making action plans, but How to Find Fulfilling Work casts its net wider. While not ignoring the insights of psychology or the need for practical planning, it reveals wisdom about work found in sociology, history, literature, film and philosophy. It may be a false illusion that there is some perfect dream job out there for us, an ideal calling or vocation. But this book is premised on the idea that it is possible
to find work that is life-enhancing. This is a book that inspires as much as it instructs and will aid self-reflection about the wider quest of how to live a good life.
