Описание: "I'm reading this book right now and loving it "--Cheryl Strayed, #1 New York Times bestselling author of WildHow can a mother and daughter who love (but don't always like) each other coexist without driving each other crazy? "Vibrating with emotion, this deeply honest account strikes a chord."--People "A wry and moving meditation on aging and the different kinds of love between women."--O: The Oprah Magazine After surviving a traumatic childhood in nineteen-seventies New York and young adulthood living in the shadow of her flamboyant mother, Rita, a makeup-addicted former television singer, Elissa Altman has managed to build a very different life, settling in Connecticut with her wife of nearly twenty years. After much time, therapy, and wine, Elissa is at last in a healthy place, still orbiting around her mother but keeping far enough away to preserve the stable, independent world she has built as a writer and editor. Then Elissa is confronted with the unthinkable: Rita, whose days are spent as a fl neur, traversing Manhattan from the Clinique counters at Bergdorf to Bloomingdale's and back again, suffers an incapacitating fall, leaving her completely dependent upon her daughter. Now Elissa is forced to finally confront their profound differences, Rita's yearning for beauty and glamour, her view of the world through her days in the spotlight, and the money that has mysteriously disappeared in the name of preserving youth. To sustain their fragile mother-daughter bond, Elissa must navigate the turbulent waters of their shared lives, the practical challenges of caregiving for someone who refuses to accept it, the tentacles of narcissism, and the mutual, frenetic obsession that has defined their relationship. Motherland is a story that touches every home and every life, mapping the ferocity of maternal love, moral obligation, the choices women make about motherhood, and the possibility of healing. Filled with tenderness, wry irreverence, and unforgettable characters, it is an exploration of what it means to escape from the shackles of the past only to have to face them all over again. Praise for Motherland "Rarely has a mother-daughter relationship been excavated with such honesty. Elissa Altman is a beautiful, big-hearted writer who mines her most central subject: her gorgeous, tempestuous, difficult mother, and the terrain of their shared life. The result is a testament to the power of love and family."--Dani Shapiro, author of Inheritance

"Elissa Washuta is exactly the writer we need right now: as funny as she is formidable a thinker, as thoughtful as she is inventive--her scrutiny is a fearless tool, every subject whittled to its truest form. White Magic is a bracingly original work that enthralled me in a hypnosis on the other side of which I was changed for the better, more likely to trust my own strange intelligence." --Melissa Febos, author of Girlhood

Описание: "Elissa Epel is the authority on stress and its machinations--how it can damage our health but, more importantly, how we can use it for good." --Daniel J. Siegel, MD, New York Times-bestselling author of The Whole-BrainChild From world-renowned psychologist and New York Times-bestselling author Dr. Elissa Epel, a book that offers a simple yet powerful plan to turn your stress into your strength in just seven days Our lives have become increasingly stressful. From the moment our eyes open in the morning to when they drift closed at night, we are flooded with constant stress triggers: to-do lists, deadlines, thorny conversations, crises both small and large. And unfortunately, we can't eliminate stress. Stress will always be a part of life--it's woven into everything from parenting to careers to reaching for big life dreams. These things are stressful because we care a lot about them. We can't just stop caring--nor do we want to. While we can't eliminate stress altogether, what we can change is our response to it. Dr. Elissa Epel has dedicated her career to studying stress. And what she's learned over years of research is that the secret to tackling stress is not simply to avoid it--it's to experience stress differently. We can actually learn "how to stress better." In The Stress Prescription, Dr. Epel distills years of research into a practical seven-day plan to help us fundamentally transform our relationship to stress. Over the course of seven days, you'll learn simple, science-based techniques that offer immediate action and relief. Stress is inevitable. But it doesn't have to make us miserable or wear us down. Stress doesn't come just from what happens to us but from our response to what happens. It's our thoughts more than our lives that stress us out. With the right mind-set and resources, we can turn our stress into a tool that helps us strengthen and grow.
