My sister's first book comes out today (posted with Andrus' permission) (1 Viewer)

[nolaspe]

Hey y'all,

So, my little sis worked on her first book over the past several years and it finally comes out today. She put a lot of time and hard work into it, and it's been getting some press attention. To say I'm proud of her is quite the understatement. I'm flying to Oakland on Thursday to be at her book launch party. If any of you are interested, it's ~$20 on Amazon...

Best to her…

Thank you for sharing - that is awesome and congratulations to your sister! I can now exaggerate the almost, somewhat, not-even-close, fact that I know a famous author.

From the Guardian article

"One of her clients was over-spending on dates, but feeling ground down by the experience. After recognising that he wasn’t ready for a committed relationship, he chose to give dating a break and spend instead on a regular massage, meeting his need for physical touch."


LOLOL Happy Ending? - thats hilarious lolol


And she is absolutely correct- especially the last few sentences.

"Money is very personal, and so is our experience of it,” she says over Zoom. “The same amount can mean different things for different people, based on lifestyles, choices and desires.

Rising prices and tighter margins trigger feelings of discomfort and anxiety, causing us to focus on making more money as a means of escape. Husserl calls this the “abundance-scarcity cycle”

While understandable, this fixation on earning or saving can start to “encroach on other aspects of life that bring us wellbeing”, Husserl says. We might work to the detriment of our health, or neglect our relationships in favour of chasing some imagined future point where money won’t be a concern."

It took me 30 years to figure this out and understand the relationship between money/earnings and well-being/happiness etc.

She will do quite well as a FA i think.

thats awesome!

I’ve been experiencing this for the last 10 years and still haven’t figured out the right balance.

Which part, the $$ one or the massage tomfoolery (or both), lol...

I'm flying back to NOLA after spending the last 3 days in Oakland celebrating with my sis, family, and her friends her book launch last week.

She threw a great party at a local Colombian restaurant called Parche (excellent appetizers, especially the empanadas, and specialty dranks). It was filled with her friends and colleagues, and we had a blast.

She has already sold 3k copies, so hopefully many more will follow
