Your Life Is Like A Paper Bag In a concise, inspiring, and sometimes-humorous fashion, Your Life Is Like A Paper Bag teaches us everything we need to know if we are to cope successfully with the challenges of life: big and small, work and play, relationships and ourselves. Written from an Adlerian perspective, Paper Bag is hopeful and encouraging. Using a deceptively simple analogy, Your Life Is Like A Paper Bag empowers us to radically alter our responses to the challenges of daily living. It encourages us to make the choices and take the actions necessary in creating a life that we find meaningful and fulfilling. It gently leads us to the answers we are seeking and provides a language - paper bag language - for couples, parents, counselors and supervisors to use in teaching, training and sharing.

I am an Australian girl. I thought my life would be ordinary. It has unfolded in front of me more like the 'whoosh' as you drag your luggage through the circular revolving doors at the airport. All possibilities from there on are exciting, but you never quite know where you might land. Surprises of joy have carried me, nourished me, sustained me, given me courage. Other surprises have left me chastened and gasping, with a newly birthed compassion and empathy for those who have experienced similar. From Melbourne to Vancouver, Chicago to Beverly Farms, Salem to Providence to Fall River, Sydney to California, and back to Melbourne, life has brought to me, gifts of love. A solo drive across the USA post-9/11 is part of the warp and weft of my life, as I have begun again and again to learn the unforced rhythms of grace.

“Guides readers toward the road less consumptive, offering practical advice and moral support while making a convincing case that individual actions . . . do matter.” —Elizabeth Royte, author, Garbage Land and Bottlemania Like many people, Beth Terry didn’t think an individual could have much impact on the environment. But while laid up after surgery, she read an article about the staggering amount of plastic polluting the oceans, and decided then and there to kick her plastic habit. In Plastic-Free, she shows you how you can too, providing personal anecdotes, stats about the environmental and health problems related to plastic, and individual solutions and tips on how to limit your plastic footprint. Presenting both beginner and advanced steps, Terry includes handy checklists and tables for easy reference, ways to get involved in larger community actions, and profiles of individuals—Plastic-Free Heroes—who have gone beyond personal solutions to create change on a larger scale. Fully updated for the paperback edition, Plastic-Free also includes sections on letting go of eco-guilt, strategies for coping with overwhelming problems, and ways to relate to other people who aren’t as far along on the plastic-free path. Both a practical guide and the story of a personal journey from helplessness to empowerment, Plastic-Free is a must-read for those concerned about the ongoing health and happiness of themselves, their children, and the planet.
