Noted author of the comprehensive Fifty Classics series, Tom Butler-Bowdon, offered his testimonial saying: Larry's book combines positive psychology, motivation and memoir to provide a powerful reminder to really live while we are alive, regretting nothing. His lively reminiscences of growing up in a funeral home are not morbid, but lie in the tradition of a Zen Buddhist meditation on death: facing the great uncertainty and inevitability of death, we are reminded of the opportunity to love, and most of all, to be grateful for everything.It's a Matter of Life and Death can help anyone who is: -seeking happiness -curious about life in a funeral home -facing a serious illness or knows someone else who is grieving and working their way back toward recovery -a health care provider, counselor, or practitioner in the funeral industry trying to help others cope with illness or loss and is seeking an additional way to convey positive messages -seeking a varied discussion guide of what matters in life and what death can teach us. The book's emphasis is on life and living a better one, not on death. It's inspirational and motivational and contains a great deal of practical information about funeral homes, funerals and life experiences.SAN FRANCISCO BOOK REVIEW: We rated this book: *****It's a Matter of Life and Death: Growing Up in a Funeral Home and What I Learned Since by Lawrence Danks is about death and happiness. Having grown up working in and living above a funeral home with his sister and parents, Danks has grown up with a better appreciation for the subject of death and the joy and sorrow that goes with it. The book is broken into three sections, including ways to achieve personal happiness, stories and information about the funeral business, and a compilation of information that Danks has acquired regarding happiness, death, and what must be dealt with afterwards.This is a great resource book that offers informative and entertaining reading. Danks makes the book personable by including stories from his life to supplement the rest of each chapter. I like how this is a book about living in a funeral home, as well as a self-help book, that provides information to allow the reader a better chance of living their best life while they still can. I particularly enjoyed the following passage from the book: Irrespective of one's belief, it's not sensible to worry about things you have no control over. Death is one of those inevitable things, so live your life in the best way possible.- Rachel Dehning.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Entire neighborhoods in cities across the United States have become open-air asylums, drug markets, and impoverished wastelands--where death, misery, crime, addiction, encampments, fires, disease, and even human waste aren't just tolerated but normalized. How is this possible when billions of taxpayer dollars have been funneled into homelessness initiatives such as "Housing First"? The truth is that the money poured into this issue from taxpayers, non-profits, and private charities alike has mostly made homelessness worse overall. And governments' failures haven't just wasted taxpayer dollars--it has cost lives and undermined human dignity. This isn't just incompetence. It's immoral and unjust. And it must end. In Beyond Homeless: Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes, Transformative Solutions, Mary L. G. Theroux, Lawrence J. McQuillan, Adam B. Summers, and other scholars present a better approach rooted in proven solutions. This groundbreaking new book, based on years of research, is exactly what's needed to address the crisis. With forewords from acclaimed addiction medicine specialist and TV host Dr. Drew Pinsky, and licensed master social worker Scott Ackerson, the book gathers experts on every aspect of homelessness to present a stirring condemnation of the status quo--and an inspiring vision for the future. Drawing on real-life stories, cutting-edge research, and alternative programs with metric-driven successes, they make the case for individualized, holistic interventions that actually work. Discover: How "Housing First" initiatives have become governments' default response to homelessness--and why they fail Why permanent supportive housing (PSH) isn't just ineffective but dangerous How political interests fuel the homelessness-industrial complex resulting in ever-increasing spending while falling further behind The inspiring success of real alternatives such as Haven for Hope in Texas and Union Rescue Mission in Los Angeles Policy changes that would truly ease the crisis for the unhoused and housed alike--without breaking the bank The difference between responsible and irresponsible forms of harm reduction And much, much more. At the heart of this crisis are real people--those experiencing homelessness and the residents who see their neighborhoods crumble. Both have paid a high price for failed policies. Both deserve better. The good news? We can do better. Beyond Homeless: Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes, Transformative Solutions shows us how.…
