The Measure of Our Success: Letter to My Children and Yours

Descriere: #1 New York Times Bestseller"This book is from the heart of a woman who practices each lesson she preaches. It struck a deep chord in me as a mother trying to raise a daughter in difficult times." -- Hillary Clinton The Measure of Our Success is a book to turn lives around: a compassionate message for parents trying to raise moral children, a tough and searching book that ought to be required reading for every young American.The book speaks powerfully to the author's three sons about the mothering Marian Wright Edelman gave them--mothering, she explains, that could not ignore other people's children who were in greater need. In the book's centerpiece, "Twenty-Five Lessons for Life," we're invited to listen as a loving and extraordinarily committed mother gives her children lessons to live by. The Measure of Our Success is an open letter to all America, and a timely message of hope and purpose for everyone.

1, Imagine a universe where every fleeting moment holds a glimmer of magic, waiting to be discovered. A glimmer is a small or fleeting, positive moment hidden within daily life. Whether it's singing kitchen karaoke while washing up, catching a fleeting whiff of your favourite scent or belly-laughing with an old friend, as we learn to recognize and cultivate these glimmers, we unlock the beneficial effects for mental health and well-being. Just noticing these moments of magic in your day can signal to your nervous system that you're safe and can relax, increase optimism and provide a break from uncomfortable emotions. Author Hayley Doyle speaks to the doctors and therapists who utilize the huge potential of these glimmers and provides checklists and mini exercises so you can record your journey.
