The beauty industry is now a multinational, multi-million dollar business. In recent years its place in contemporary culture has altered hugely as salons have become not simply places to have your hair cut or your nails done, but increasingly sites of physical and even spiritual therapy.  In this fascinating and nuanced study, Paula Black strips away many popular assumptions about the beauty industry, including the one that says it exploits people's insecurity by projecting an illusory beauty myth. The interviews in this book - both with the beauty industry's workers and its clients - reveal a far more complex and interesting picture, and, in their presentation, Black re-formulates many feminist debates around choice and constraint.  The debates addressed include issues around the body; the construction and maintenance of gender identity; changing definitions of health and well-being; and labour processes.

“With her trademark inspirational style Paula Black interviews lawyers who share wonderful stories that teach us that there is always a way to reach fulfillment in our lives.”— Nancy Ratzan, JD, Past President - National Council of Jewish Women “Although this book is marketed to attorneys, I wholeheartedly believe everyone can both relate to and use the lessons learned by the featured lawyers. And when I need those life-lessons reinforced, this is the book I’ll turn to for inspiration.“— Karen H. Hester, JD, LLM in Taxation, Chief Executive Officer - Center for Legal Inclusion “There’s inspiration in this book for every lawyer, no matter where you are in your legal career.” — Brian Torres, JD, Managing Partner - Brian Torres Legal The book features real stories of lawyers who come from the Public Defender’s office  to the City Attorney’s office, solo practices and big national firms, corporate settings and government, as well as academia and the bench. They are ordinary lawyers doing extraordinary things. You will read what they overcame to have a sense of fulfillment, what they discovered about themselves, and how they achieved their equilibrium. They were looking for more and share their challenges, insights and solutions: “I had two dreams I had kicked to the curb for the first 15 years of my practice.” “I did have a choice and there was a way out of my fairly miserable existence.” “To be honest – embarrassing honest, I was running from depression.”  “It was then that I realized that I didn’t control everything in my life.” Get Ready to be Inspired to Create a Life You Love!

Life, Cancer and God: Beating Terminal Cancer

The Essential Guide to Beating Cancer. Riveting! Shocking! Eye Opening! A roadmap to successfully treating cancer and other chronic diseases! As featured on the cover of "Publisher's Weekly" this beautifully written, inspirational and enlightening memoir may be the ultimate victory-over-cancer story. The author's journey from advanced-stage cancer, to near death, to complete healing is destined to become a faith-based BEST SELLER. In the prime of life--as a wife, mother and businesswoman--Paula heard the dreaded words: "It's cancer." Doctors gave her 3 to 6 months to live. Her husband, a former airline pilot instructor who had become the senior pastor of a growing church, became Paula's full-time cancer researcher. The two began discovering everything they could about her fatal disease. They met with doctors and oncologists, talked with cancer patients and their families--tirelessly researching every conventional and alternative cancer treatment available. Mostly they prayed. Ultimately, they felt God revealed the BODY-SOUL-SPIRIT Approach--which deals with the whole person--treating root causes of disease, not just symptoms. It was this approach that saved Paula's life. Twenty months from initial diagnosis her advanced-stage cancer was gone; without chemotherapy--without radiation--and without drugs. Easy to read--the authors express medical concepts and terminology in words and ideas the layperson can easily understand. You won't find this information discussed in mainstream media, nor talked about in your doctor's office. Prepare to laugh, cry, hold your breath and shout for joy as you accompany this husband and wife on their incredible journey of faith--where personal struggles collide with biblical insight. Learn how Paula defied medical logic, reversed terminal cancer PERMANENTLY and got her life back.
