About Γονιός, Κυνηγός, Τροφοσυλλέκτης · Michaeleen Doucleff
Jennette McCurdy, 2022
Also family and unease. A former Nickelodeon child star describes a childhood run by her mother, with deadpan humour and a hard-won ability to name what it cost.
I’m becoming an angry person with no tolerance for anyone. I’m aware of this shift and yet have no desire to change it. If anything, I want it. It’s armor. It’s easier to be angry than to feel to pain underneath it. Tara Westover, 2018
Also family and hope. A girl grows up without school or doctors on an Idaho mountain, then teaches herself enough to leave—and has to decide what leaving costs.
You were my child. I should have protected you.I lived a lifetime in the moment I read those lines, a life that was not the one I had actually lived. I became a different person, who remembered a different childhood. I didn’t understand the magic of those words then, and I don’t understand it now. I know only this: that when my mother told me she had not been the mother to me that she wished she’d been, she became that mother for the first time. Gregg Olsen, 2019
Also family and society. A true account of three sisters raised by a mother who made cruelty ordinary—and the loyalty that kept them alive.
I loved my mother because I didn’t know I had a choice. I had to love her. Frank McCourt, 1996
Also wonder and family. A boy grows up poor in Limerick with an often-absent father and a mother who keeps the family alive, told with comic timing that makes squalor bearable.
He says, you have to study and learn so that you can make up your own mind about history and everything else but you can’t make up an empty mind. Stock your mind, stock your mind. You might be poor, your shoes might be broken, but your mind is a palace. Katharine Hepburn, 1991
Also family and wonder. The actress turns her unsentimental eye on her own family — a clan of determined women, domineering uncles and inconvenient preachers' ideas — and tells it plain.
Your income has always been ample, and you never ought to have borrowed any money, and Mary Towle did a great wrong in lending you any money. My opinion of you is the same as it always has been—that you are an extravagant, deceitful, dishonest, worthless person. You have squandered thousands of dollars and left your honest debts unpaid. But I do not think you are capable of comprehending the mistakes that you have made. Now that you are paying up Mary Towle, how would it do to pay the various other accounts that you owe? Bill O'Reilly, 2003
Also family and society. Bill O'Reilly turns his blunt TV voice on family: who really protected you as a child, and what parents owe their kids now.
My home was a mixture of tradition and chaos. My father wasn’t Ozzie Nelson, the TV ideal dad in the ‘50s and ‘60s, but he wasn’t Ozzy Osbourne either. I wrote about my late father in The O’Reilly Factor, the book, and I think it is safe to say that I had a rough-hewn upbringing. Simply put: There was plenty of tension in my house. Along with a lot of yelling and martial arts. My father was the Kung and I was the Fu. James Clear, 2018
Also hope and society. A practical guide to how tiny daily choices compound, and how to design the systems that make good habits automatic.
Jeannette Walls, 2005
Also family and unease. A daughter of brilliant drifters grows up hungry, ashamed, and fiercely loyal, then has to decide what to do with the past.
Marie Kondō, 2011
Also hope. A Japanese organizing consultant's case that tidying is not housework but a decision about how you want to live, made one object at a time.
Elizabeth Gilbert, 2006
Also hope and wonder. A woman walks out of a marriage and a script she never wrote, and spends a year in Italy, India and Indonesia finding out what she actually wants.
Viktor E. Frankl, 1946
Also hope and unease. A psychiatrist who survived Auschwitz argues that meaning — not pleasure or power — is what keeps a person alive, and that it can be found even in suffering.
Augusten Burroughs, 2002
Also family and wonder. A memoir of a wildly unstable childhood, told with a child's dread and a survivor's deadpan comic timing.
