Nothing will be different : a memoir / by McGowan-Ross, Tara,1992-author.;
"A neurotic party girl's coming-of-age memoir about learning to live before getting ready to die. Tara has it pretty good: a nice job, a writing career, a forgiving boyfriend. She should be happy. Yet Tara can't stay sober. She's terrible at monogamy. Even her psychiatrist grows sick of her and stops returning her calls. She spends most of her time putting out social fires, barely pulling things off, and feeling sick and tired. Then, in the autumn following her twenty-seventh birthday, an abnormal lump discovered in her left breast serves as the catalyst for a journey of rigorous self-questioning. Waiting on a diagnosis, she begins an intellectual assessment of her life, desperate to justify a short existence full of dumb choices. Armed with her philosophy degree and angry determination, she attacks each issue in her life as the days creep by and winds up writing a searingly honest memoir about learning to live before getting ready to die."--

Originally produced by First Run Features in 2023.In this longitudinal observation, director and social anthropologist Soňa Lutherová presents an intimate portrait of a family in which one of the parents is transitioning. People who knew "R" perceived her as a happy woman. A Czech woman in her thirties, she moved to Sweden with her husband, psychiatrist Ivan. In their new country, the young couple bought a house and had two children. It seemed that their lives would continue in a predictable way. As a distraction from the routine, "R" chose an unusual hobby: she created a male alter-ego and started writing novels for LGBTQ+ audiences. "R" was happy but felt empty on the inside. She could only fill it by living out her true self. Things started speeding up and "R" began changing. "R" is now Marvin. And Marvin is a man. A HAPPY MAN tells an intimate story about a transgender man and his family. It encourages the viewers to consider different existential connections that concern each and every one of us.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Independence day : what I learned about retirement from some who've done it and some who never will / by Lopez, Steve,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.Grappling with his own decision of whether to retire, Lopez uses his reporter skills not only to look inward but also to interview experts and peers to collect a variety of perspectives as he examines the true nature of a person's time, identity, and ultimate life satisfaction. In Independence Day, Lopez talks to those who have chosen to extend their working life to its (il)logical extreme--people like Mel Brooks, still working at 94--those who have happily retired and reinvented themselves outside of the constraints of work, and those who would like to retire but can't because of financial constraints. He also turns to professionals on the matter, like two aging scientists, a geriatric specialist, and a psychiatrist, to understand the research-based reasons to retire. With his trademark poignancy, wisdom, and humor, Lopez establishes a useful polemic for himself and others in planning ahead, as he also evaluates questions of identity, financial limitations, and ultimately what to do with your life when the obituary pages are no longer filled with strangers.
