Produktbeschreibung
It can seem we are more divided than ever in many aspects of life, and we too often still feel empty while pushing ourselves to keep up. Suffer Less in Life & Work explores many facets of our relationships with ourselves and others and provides tools to help ease this division and brings a clearer level of understanding and grace. When you consider what makes up our life: emotions, relationships, concerns, expectations, harsh realities, and even politics, how can there not be some suffering? Though these subjects are wide and deep, the author breaks each down and shares from his 34 years of front-line public service experiences and his personal life observations what is adding to our difficulties. He then follows with solution-based concepts and easy daily applicable tools to tame these daily life stressors. The Author writes: I am periodically asked, "With all of the tragedy and death you have seen, why do you laugh so often?" Sometimes the question is worded slightly differently, which slightly changes my answer, "With all the tragedy and death you have seen, how can you always be so happy?" My answer to the first question is because life is hard; and yet, life is also an amazing and unfortunately short but powerful journey. So yes, I do find the good, the humor, and the laughter as often as I can. My answer to the slightly differently worded question is the same, but it starts with, "I am not always happy...." I have seen inside of us, including myself, that there is a dark place between alive and dead that we sometimes fall into for a period. That place is emptiness, loneliness, paralyzing fear, anxiety, depression, anger, resentment, jealousy, even blame, and many addictions. It is my hope that we do not have to stay in that undead but not alive place for long. We arrive there when our feelings or perceptions, and sometimes the actual reality of our life, hit a difficult span of more bad than good. This causes the rough to cover more of our spirit than the light of goodness can illuminate. In this day and time, that unalive place is happening to us all too often. We do have valid reasons to feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, and to question human and social behaviors. But you are alive, and unless chronic or severe, these painful, aware, and sensitive human experiences have the potential to enrich our lives. It requires a cautious balance. As pressures mount, this can be difficult, but acknowledging how tough and scary it all can be at times is a great healthy start.
Autorenporträt
Vincent Dodd was born and raised in the swamps and marsh lands of southeast Louisiana and now resides in Austin, Texas. After Vincent graduated from Louisiana Tech University's Nursing School in 1985, he entered what he likes to call his "nursing residency," by working for three years in the emergency department in Charity Hospital in downtown New Orleans. During those years he worked closely with LSU and Tulane residents and highly experienced nurses that all taught each other every chance they had.He knew at an early age that he had a service driven heart and a need to help and educate. He spent nineteen of his twenty-one-years in teaching hospital emergency departments and two of those years in intensive care. Vincent then left nursing and entered a twelve-year career in law enforcement to answer his lifelong curiosity of law enforcement and to study the field from the inside out from a solution-based angle. After over thirty-three-years of hands-on assistance to people in some level of personal crisis on an individual basis, he now feels driven to contribute on a larger scale through his writing and public speaking. His desire to always seek the origin of an issue and not to just place a surface bandage on the issue has helped him study the many causes to personal and social issues from a human behavior standpoint.Vincent has witnessed that many of our problems are related to the changes in social structure and personal views that has caused us to believe we no longer need each other, leading to a false sense of total independence from others. He has a driving passion to reverse our increasingly fragmented society, which leads fragments individuals, which then leads to our escalating numbers of depression, anxiety, addictions, suicide attempts, and suicides. Vincent Dodd is the author of Suffer Less in Life & Work, Suffer Less in Death, and is the Founder of The Yandle, John D., Sheehan, and Daigle Foundation, also known as The Human Bonding Foundation.
