How important is work to your wellbeing? Before you answer think about this: if you work an 8-hour day, travel an hour, have an hour for lunch (usually at or near work) and sleep 8 hours you've only 6 hours for everything else! Suddenly it becomes very clear why having a fulfilling and satisfying career is so important! Yet with the massively changing world of work there is widespread dissatisfaction and fear surrounding our ability to find work, keep and enjoy it. For many people the unspoken issues of fear and lack of confidence have a devastating impact on their careers and lives. These are the issues addressed in From Fear to Courage. Through the diary notes of career coach Dr Susie Linder-Pelz we meet people of differing ages, backgrounds and occupations, each experiencing a real-life career crisis. For example, a chirpy marketing professional reaching 40 and feeling trapped, a regretful teacher, a fear-filled generation-X training consultant, and a midlife manager made redundant.
Old stories sprang from objects, though seldom in a form of words, more like song; from flowers, trees, curtains, fruit or outhouse walls, so why not his brother's toys? Crazy, of course: but crazy was how Finbar had entered the world, getting it all backwards, dying before he was born. In his mothers womb, he choked on black; swimming in red, floating free. With a sparkling lyricism, House of Given reflects on the gentle insistence of love. Despite the strains and impositions people place upon it, especially within the close confines of family despite secrets, guilt, sorrow and silence, Collopy's novel illustrates a belief that love's essential nature beckons revelation. And sometimes revelations emerge through the very notion that Families have a way of scratching each others' sores. Lineage and living collide, offering sacrifice, reconciliation, and truth as an answer to the question of identity within family. The characters of House of Given reveal a story of family as we all know it to one extent or another, and of life, the fragile kind in which we all, sooner or later, find ourselves.
