Paula Black

"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 LegalThe 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."

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.
