Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Violinist Vijay Gupta's searing memoir of prodigy, ambition, collapse, and renewal reveals how music is not just performance but also survival, a lifeline of human connection - for readers of Jeremy Denk's Every Good Boy Does Fine, Hua Hsu's Stay True, and Patrick Bringley's All the Beauty in the World.'Every page burns with moral conviction'Alex Ross, author of The Rest is Noise¿By age 25, Vijay Gupta had lived several lifetimes: he played Carnegie Hall at eight, studied at Juilliard and Yale before most had finished high school, joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic at nineteen, and launched a nonprofit. But behind the accolades was estrangement, addiction, and a private unravelling.Restrungfollows him through the shimmering world of elite orchestras, into the depths of burnout, and ultimately toward an unexpected reawakening as he discovers the transformative power of music not in concert halls, but in Skid Row, where people living through addiction, homelessness, and incarceration heard it as survival itself. There, audiences saw themselves in the stories of composers too often frozen into marble busts: the rage of Beethoven, the fragility of Schumann and the plight of Handel.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The mostenergising book I've read this year. As a parent I was transfixed by recognition. As a therapist it opened my eyes' Chris Cleave, author of Everyone Brave is ForgivenADHD.OCD.Toxic.Unwell.A new language has entered our culture. Over the past decade, psychiatrist Suzanne Garfinkle-Crowell noticed more and more girls describing themselves through the lens of 'therapy speak' and psychiatric diagnoses, often pulled from social media. At the same time, she saw parents responding to this jargon with either alarm or dismissiveness, widening the communication gap between the generations.In Girlhood, Translated, Dr Garfinkle-Crowell explores howtherapy speak is reshaping the identities of girls. Drawing on vivid stories from the therapy room, she reveals, with stunning insight and compassion, the dynamics at play underneath the labels. She helps us understand why girls turn to this language in the first place - and what they're trying to say when they do.Girlhood, Translatedis both an urgent call to change the conversation around mental health and a tender, beautifully written portrait of modern girlhood. Exploring what happens when human emotion is pathologised, Suzanne Garfinkle-Crowell shows us how we can move beyond the language of illness towards greater agency, healing and connection.'Thoughtful and nuanced' The Times'Exceptional. Will change conversations the very next day' Professor Peter Fonagy'Phenomenal.
