Wonderfully Weird Woman's Manual,
How to Thrive & Bloom when you're Fiercely Bright, Feel too Much and Have Way too Many Passions
DO YOU THINK "I PROBABLY CAME TO THIS WORLD WITH A MANUAL, BUT I MUST HAVE LOST THE BOOKLET"?
- Do you often feel the odd one out. Are you lost for words when someone is rude to you?
- Are you deeply touched by art, books, movies or nature? Do you have many passions, love to learn, but feel pressured into narrowing down your talents?
- Do you often feel too vulnerable or never enough? Are you being told you're too thin-skinned? Do you sometimes wish you could hand in some IQ points in exchange for clarity? Do you rather stay put than creating something that might be very imperfect? Do you have a resume that looks like the work of 10 different persons?
"THE WONDERFULLY WEIRD WOMAN'S MANUAL IS A FRIEND YOU HAVE TEA WITH. I FELT SEEN AND UNDERSTAND LIKE NEVER BEFORE"
The Wonderfully Weird Woman's Manual inspires you to accept yourself and embrace your natural gifts: Sensitivity, Creativity, Vulnerability, a Fiercely Bright Curious Mind and Many Talents.
At this very moment you might feel you need to change. Fit in. Be more like the others. How else can you show up as the Real You in a world that feels too harsh, too black and white, too shallow? However, you don't have to fit in.
YOU HAVE TO BE MORE THAN YOU ALREADY ARE.
"I COULDN'T STOP READING, GOOSEBUMPS UNTIL THE LAST PAGE".
You will experience that loving yourself unconditionally is both messy -- paint on hands and imperfect art -- and so much fun.
"FINALLY A BOOK THAT UNITES THE HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON AND THE MULTI-PASSIONATE RENAISSANCE SOUL."
WHY DO YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK?
Because the world needs you. We need your multi-faceted ideas, your kindness and deep feelings. We need people who are dumbfounded in the current political rhetoric. There are enough hard-liners. We need soft-liners. We need people who have the ability to breathe ideas like there is no tomorrow. We need you to teach us all how to live wholeheartedly. You can make a real difference, just by being you.
It requires knowing yourself, seeing the bigger picture and a whole lot of loving; yourself, the wonderful mess we're all in.
"A VERY VISUAL BOOK WITH A LOT OF GORGEOUS ART WORK. I WISH I COULD HANG MY KINDLE ON THE WALL :-)"

Veertig jaar jong - 40 Years Young
Dutch publication, 2006
VEERTIG IS NIET OUD. Toch? Wat is veertig jaar nu helemaal? Je ouders waren oud op hun veertigste, wat heet, maar jij niet! ledereen zegt dat jij voor vijfendertig, nou vooruit, zevenendertig door kunt gaan. En laten we wel wezen: het leven begint toch pas bij veertig.
In deze bundel staan verhalen van bekende veertigers over onderwerpen die rond die leeftijd genadeloos beginnen op te spelen, zoals jongere minnaars, cosmetische chirurgie en verloren idealen. Verhalen waar iedere veertiger iets van zichzelf in zal herkennen - soms hilarisch, soms pijnlijk treffend.
Veertig jaar jong is een onmisbare bundel voor alle meisjes en jongens van veertig - en een beetje meer. Omdat het een antwoord geeft op de vraag of er een erger verlies is dan dat van de jeugd.
Met bijdragen van onder anderen Lydia Rood, Boris Dittrich, Sylvia Witteman, Harmen van Straaten, Mirjam Schottelndreier, Adriaan Jaeggi, Joan Nederlof, Myl de la Haye, Augusta Verburg, Esther de Charon de Saint Germain
