Radical Joy: How to Live Like There's No Tomorrow (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Using stories from the dying, the traumatized, and the brave Phyllis Coletta exposes the razor's edge of living life to the fullest. With great humor and searing directness she compels readers to examine their own lives from the perspective of the end - after all, we all have a terminal illness. Drawing on experience as a Zen Buddhist chaplain, an Emergency Medical Technician, and her own journey through breast cancer, Phyllis focuses in on the behaviors, attitudes, practices and skills of people who endure trauma and emerge even better - a phenomenon psychologists call "Post Traumatic Growth." Who knew that when bad things happen to good people, good things can happen? How do we build our lives in preparation for the worst while living every day to the fullest?

Phyllis provides questions, exercises, and a solid roadmap (The Top Ten Habits of the Healthy) for people who are ready to live authentic lives of joy. This book will engage you right from the start and - if you commit to the practices and exercises - it will change your life deeply and for the good.

Autorenporträt

I'm a writer, coach, and speaker but really, who am I to tell you anything? Why would you buy my books or listen to me speak or set me loose on a roomful of decent folks? Who am I to teach you anything?

I'm certainly no scientist, therapist, counselor, mega-coach, movie star, expert or authority on anything other than myself. I've had a rollicking fun adventurous life, raised three boys as a mostly-single mom, practiced law for 15 years (I am now in recovery), taught high school English, became an EMT, a cowgirl (not a good one, but a cheerful one), a ranch hand, back up wilderness guide (the one who does all the scut work), and a Buddhist chaplain. I've worked in classrooms, courtrooms, emergency rooms; with ski patrollers, cowboys, doctors, lawyers, teachers, and kids. Born and raised in Philly, I've lived in a 300 square foot cabin off the grid on 5000 acres in The Middle of Nowhere, Colorado. From the Jersey shore to the Purple Mountain Majesties, I've skied, rafted, climbed, biked, run and hiked through life. It's a pretty fun resume but I'm no Dr. Phil. Except for my JD degree which is technically a doctorate, making me - indeed - Dr. Phyl. Having collected so many experiences, I am a helluva storyteller.

How else to put this? I was born to inspire other people to their best and highest selves. Nothing is more fun for me - NOTHING - than being a positive, collaborative, sensitive, intellient and fun agent of REAL CHANGE. Try one of my books on for size, or contact me about coaching or speaking. We can just talk for awhile and then see what you think. The truth is that everything you need to know is right inside you. I can just help clear the air.
