The Education of an Artist

Memoir has the power to change not just a writer’s life, but the world we all share. Too often dismissed as self-indulgent or merely therapeutic, memoir is in fact one of the most radical literary forms of our time—an act of truth-telling that dismantles cultural myths and creates new ways of seeing. In Truth Be Told, acclaimed memoirist and psychologist Kerry Cohen, author of the beloved bestseller Loose Girl, shows readers how personal storytelling can subvert dominant narratives, generate empathy, and reveal the deeper truths that connect us all. Blending literary guidance with psychological insight, Cohen explores the art and intention behind today’s most powerful memoirs—those that move beyond confession to create meaning. With warmth, humor, and deep respect for the craft, she offers writers a clear methodology, illuminating examples, and structured exercises to help them find their story, shape it authentically, and write it in a way that truly matters. Whether you’re a first-time writer or a practiced storyteller, Truth Be Told will teach you not only how to write a memoir worth reading—but how to uncover the deeper truths of being hum

Crafting Memoir That Matters

Truth Be Told

Fasten your seatbelts, darlings, it's been one helluva ride. 'If there's a more enthralling celebrity memoir out this year, I'll eat my bowler hat.' The Times '[A] high-kicking hoofer of a book.' Telegraph 'A heady brew of gossip, glamour and defiance.' Guardian 'Brilliant and bonkers' The Mirror Liza Minnelli is one of the most iconic and enduring figures in entertainment history. Now, in her first and only memoir, Liza tells her story in her own words - and what a story it is. Born into Hollywood royalty, Liza was the daughter of legendary director Vincente Minnelli and the incomparable Judy Garland - and yet her beloved 'Mama's' brilliance was matched by searing personal battles, making her mother both an inspiration and, at times, a source of fear. In this deeply candid memoir, Liza pulls back the curtain on her extraordinary life, from her meteoric rise to Broadway and Hollywood stardom to the whirlwind of high-profile marriages and relationships, as well as the private heartbreaks of multiple miscarriages and lifelong struggle with Substance Use Disorder. As told her her most beloved confidant, music icon Michael Feinstein, Liza relives the liberated nights at Studio 54, the activism and friendships that shaped her - including the likes of Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Halston, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson and Princess Diana - and the fearless way she defied conventions, embracing sexual fluidity and battling bigotry at a time of limited public understanding. But above all, as she turns 80 years old, Liza is reclaiming her truth, dispelling tabloid myths and setting the record straight with stories she's never shared before. Raw, strong, sexy, hilarious and unapologetically honest, this is a defiant celebration of self-belief, survival and humanity - proving once and for all why Liza remains one of the most captivating performers the world has ever known. Wilkommen to the world of Liza.

Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!

A creative masterclass for aspiring and established writers alikeAfter decades of writing award-winning books on subjects ranging from poetry to art to liturgical seasons, celebrated author Marilyn McEntyre turns her attention to the vocation that has shaped her life. Start with a Word: On the Craft and Adventure of Writing is a literary masterclass that eschews drills and formulas in favor of close readings and refreshingly playful advice.A veteran teacher, Marilyn understands that the best writing instruction doesn't come from rigid rules or rote approaches to filling the blank page. Instead, she demonstrates how the writers whose works we have enjoyed can become our tutors. She calls us to move beyond asking "What does this text say?" to a more revealing question: "How does this text work?" This shift in perspective--from passive consumption to active apprenticeship--transforms how we encounter literature and how we create it.More than a how-to manual, Start with a Word is an invitation into a way of being that honors both the precision and the mystery of words. It offers short lessons on essential elements of literary craft, close readings of passages from a range of works, writing prompts, and, above all, encouragement for authors to find their unique path into work only they can create. "Reading and writing keep alive in us the desire to be precise, lively, surprising, generous, inviting, challenging, wise. They make us want to be good, if only in the sense that choosing exact and appropriate words is a matter of choosing the good. . . . I don't think you can be an excellent writer without developing some virtues, if only fidelity to a practice that honors the gift of language."

Two former Walt Disney Imagineering leaders and designers take on a major gap in team leadership: the lack of a reliable method for collaboration that consistently drives success, innovation, and efficient problem-solving while also minimizing burnout and interpersonal friction. Drawing on their experience at Walt Disney Imagineering and additional work with companies such as Sony, Heineken, and Mattel, Tricia Cerrone and Edward J. van Luinen, Ed.D share a practical approach leaders can apply in any industry, on any team, right away. At Disney, Tricia and Edward were tasked with co-leading a global high-stakes, multi-year initiative across 120+ disciplines; in the process of uniting creative, technical, and operational teams around shared outcomes, they developed and later refined the collaborative leadership skills and repeatable method presented in this book. Their simple, human approach centers on five everyday behaviors-Generosity, Resourcefulness, Co-Creation, Action, and Gratitude-guided by Noble Purpose and an Instant Implementation Roadmap. The result is a clear, step-by-step way to build trust, unlock ideas, move faster, and sustain energy without new software, restructures, or big budgets. And the ripple effects are powerful: greater innovation, faster decisions, healthier culture, organic professional growth, more resilient people, stronger ROI, and higher engagement. Inside you'll get: A repeatable method that fits any leadership style or team structure. Stories and examples from Disney and beyond that show the method in action. Immediate techniques for safer teams, better brainstorms, quicker pilots, and meaningful recognition. A plan to scale collaboration and overcome common barriers like ego, silos, and burnout.

Kageki Shojo!!

Ausgerechnet eine Szene aus "Romeo und Julia" soll der Grundkurs beim Schulfest aufführen. Dieses Mal werden die Rollen nicht ausgelost, sondern jede darf sich auf die Rolle ihrer Wahl bewerben. Was wird Sarasa jetzt tun? Romeo und Tybalt stehen für sie zur Auswahl, aber die Kritik von Herrn Ando zu ihrer Darbietung als Tybalt hallt immer noch in Sarasas Kopf nach und die Selbstzweifel in ihr werden wieder lauter.

BFI Screen Guides

In this follow up to their original 100 Cult Films volume, Ernest Mathijs and Xavier Mendik provide a guide to one hundred more incredible films, from the 1911 Italian silent Dante's Inferno to Ti West's horror trilogy X, Pearl (2022) and MaXXXine (2024). This richly illustrated guide addresses the work of filmmakers including Stanley Kubrick, Paul Verhoeven, Ana Lily Amirpour, Stephanie Rothman, Rob Reiner and Dario Argento, with movies hailing from Iran to Brazil, South Korea to Sweden, Japan to the USA, and from the high North to the Australian outback. 100 Cult Films: The Sequel presents an alchemy of genres including science-fiction, romance, horror, musical, vampire, comedy and action, and through the debates and controversies that surround them raises issues about identity, home, belonging, exoticism, censorship, and what it means to be truly 'weird'. By presenting 100 films that confirm and interrogate the notion of what makes a film a 'cult film', 100 Cult Films: The Sequel reignites the conversation about cult cinema while affirming its foundations in today's volatile and vibrant cultural climate.

Rick Zabel ist Ex-Profi, Radsportexperte, berühmtester Sohn des deutschen Radsports und der größte Content-Creator seiner Sportart auf Social Media. Hier schreibt er über seine Geschichte, über Höhen und Tiefen, über Gipfel und Täler und über die Liebe zum Rennrad.Wie vor ihm sein Vater ist Rick Zabel alle großen Rennen gefahren - mit weniger Sprintsiegen, aber mit derselben Leidenschaft und, ganz wichtig: mit seiner eigenen Philosophie. Als Radprofi hat Zabel die Schattenseiten des Sports kennengelernt - Druck, Konkurrenzkampf, körperliche Grenzerfahrungen - und die Sonnenseiten: 'On the road' hat er einige der schönsten Orte der Welt gesehen, hat ganz allein die höchsten Pässe Europas bezwungen, auf der Abfahrt den kühlen Wind und die spektakuläre Aussicht genossen. Davon schreibt er klug, eindringlich und lustvoll - und so, dass man selbst sofort in die Pedale treten möchte.&nbsp;

A Writer's Craft

'"I liked the Jewish jokes," she says. "Oh, it's OK", I say. "I'm allowed to make them." Her eyes light up. And so it all begins.'When Max meets Eliana, a dazzling modern Orthodox Jewish girl, in a bar in Edinburgh one night, he never expected it to kickstart an agonising identity crisis. While their connection is instant and deep, Max discovers a devastating truth: that despite his upbringing, to millions around the world, including the girl he's fallen for, he is deemed non-Jewish.Determined to build a future with her, comedian and writer (and uncircumcised liberal Jew) Max Olesker embarks on one of the world's most demanding religious conversion processes. He attempts to navigate the dizzying complexities of Jewish law, the challenges of maintaining a relationship without physical contact, and the looming prospect of a date with a scalpel. From moving into the home of an Orthodox family for eight months to enduring gruelling interrogations by a high court of Rabbis, Max's journey is a rollercoaster of humour, heartbreak, and self-discovery.A hilarious and moving true account of one man's quest to marry the love of his life, Making the Cut will make you laugh, cry, and believe in the transformative power of love.

Curiosity transforms fear in to a question, and a question into progress. Curiosity is today's superpower. In times of profound upheaval and uncertainty, it enables us to evolve and to gain control of our lives and organisations. We are witnessing increasingly fractious times economically and politically, but when we lean into curiosity rather than recoil in panic or freeze in fear, something powerful happens: we begin to learn. Learning isn't about accumulating facts, information or even simply knowledge, it's about building the capacity to adapt. The skills we need today- empathy, creativity, collaboration - aren't mastered in order to subsequently be forgotten; they grow and evolve through the practice of curiosity. Each question we ask becomes a tool for navigating uncertainty, change and evolution. In Curiosity: Nurturing your Superpower for Discovery, Joy and Success acclaimed public speaker and bestselling author Richard Gerver unifies his decades of experience in education, change, leadership and innovation to show you how you can ignite your curiosity and realise your full potential. With his unique insight into our development from infants to adults, Gerver helps us understand the nature of our personal and professional responses to risk, change, creativity and development and how, by rediscovering our childish curiosity, we can regain a sense of control over our lives and those we impact both personally and professionally. From opening ourselves up to failure and looking foolish, to the power of mentorship in modelling inquisitiveness, this book illustrates how curiosity is not just how we grow, it's how we connect, how we solve and how we heal. Curiosity is how we remember what it means to be human in an age of Artificial Intelligence, machines and metrics. Curiosity won't just save us all - it will help us finally understand who we can still become.

Nitrogen is what gives Guinness its surge and its dome. Fifty-four years later, a food scientist in Portland put the same gas into cold coffee, and nitro cold brew became a category. Nobody had hidden the pattern. It sat in the beer trade press for half a century, in an industry no one in coffee had any reason to read. Coffee people read coffee reports. Beer people read beer reports. We are taught to look for the future close to home: among our competitors, our customers, and the prevailing ideas within our own field. By the time a shift becomes visible inside a category, much of its strategic value has already been claimed. Your next advantage is probably taking shape somewhere you are not looking. Latitudinal thinking is the practice of looking across fields to recognize patterns others miss. Rather than examining the world you already know more intently, you learn to identify the same need, behavior, or force taking shape elsewhere, and to consider what it could make possible in your own work. Strategist Lara O’Shea has built her career on these connections. Drawing on geography, anthropology, photojournalism, and more than two decades of work across industries, she follows premiumization from spirits to skincare, coffee, and pet food, and now to fresh produce. She shows how two exhausted doctors at Great Ormond Street watched a Formula 1 pit stop on television and rebuilt the most dangerous minutes in pediatric heart surgery around what they saw, cutting technical errors per handover by roughly 40 percent. She traces how a self-taught carpenter’s son solved the longitude problem that Europe’s astronomers had claimed for two hundred years. Recognizing a connection is only the beginning. At the center of the book is the Latitude Scan, a five-step method for finding promising patterns, uncovering the forces beneath them, translating them across boundaries, and testing whether they truly fit: Chart, Scan, Triangulate, Traverse, and Ground Truth. A chapter on failure names the six ways a borrowed pattern goes wrong, so a reader can tell a meaningful parallel from a superficial resemblance before betting on it. The book arrives at the moment depth stopped paying. Your competitor’s AI has read the same reports as yours, and knowing your category better than anyone else is no longer an advantage you can hold. What remains is human work: deciding where to look, recognizing a structure when it turns up in an unfamiliar container, and judging whether it will survive the crossing.
