“What brought you the greatest joy? What do you wish you had learned sooner? What ultimately mattered and what didn't?” asks Dr. John Izzo. Based on a highly acclaimed public television series, this book takes the reader on a heartwarming and profound journey to find lasting happiness. Imagine for a moment that you are about to take a foreign vacation to an exotic destination. You have saved your entire life to travel there. It is a destination with almost unlimited choices of how to spend your time and you know you will not have enough time to explore every opportunity. You are fairly certain that you will never get to take a second trip to this destination; this will be your one opportunity. Now imagine that someone informs you that there are several people in your neighborhood who have been to that country, explored every corner. Some of them enjoyed the journey and have few regrets, but others wish they could take the trip again knowing what they know now. Would you not invite them over for dinner, ask them to bring their photographs, listen to their stories, and hear their advice? This is precisely the journey explored in this book. Dr. John Izzo and his colleagues interviewed over 200 people, ages 60-106, who were identified by friends and acquaintances as “the one person they knew who had found happiness and meaning.” From town barbers to Holocaust survivors, from aboriginal chiefs to CEOs, these people had over 18,000 years of life experience between them. He asked them questions like, “What brought you the greatest joy? What do you wish you had learned sooner? What ultimately mattered and what didn't?” Here Izzo shares their stories—funny, moving, and thought-provoking—and the Five Secrets he learned from listening to them. This book will make you laugh, bring you to tears, and inspire you to discover what matters long before you die.

ISBN: 100092016X

Originally published in 1987, now with a new preface, the focus of this book is the distribution of material resources, notably money, work, care and food, within and between households. Hitherto, social policy research had tended to roll households and families into one and consider them as ‘private’ spheres which only connected with society via the male head of household – the ‘breadwinner’. Examination of resource distribution had stopped short at the door of the household. The contributors to Give and Take in Families open up the ‘Black Box’ of the family and explore the assumption that resources are equitably distributed between household members. A dominant concern is with gender relations. Each study attempts to make women – as resources in caring for other people, as providers of income, as transformers of income into goods and services – visible in the household unit. Findings from nine empirical studies are presented, examining resource distribution in relation to the composition of households, and the life cycles and life experiences of household members. A wide variety of household types is considered, and attention is given to households undergoing changes (such as divorce and unemployment) that are likely to have major implications for household structure and resources. The implications of these innovative and thought-provoking studies for social policy are considerable, with relevance to the fields of inequality and income support, the provision of care for children and the elderly, the labour market and divorce law. This book will still appeal to practising researchers and students in the social sciences, particularly women’s studies.

Have you ever wondered why you think the way you do about people, jobs, relationships, and just about anything you have ever encountered? Everything you have ever experienced, every thought you have thought is the direct result of what you have given to it, or what you have taken from it. This is the capacity of our souls to give thought and to take thought concerning all that we see, hear, and feel in this life. God has designed us in his image, and in this creation, he has put within us the ability to do so. In this book of Give and Take, we will follow the path from salvation to warfare to peace and giving of thanks as we see that God gives us much and that much is available from him for us to take for our advantage. As you discover who he is as a sovereign God, you will begin to measure your life based on what you give to it and what you take from it. Understanding that the principles set forth in the give-and-take that we apply in respect, forgiveness, taking captive thoughts, and more as seen through the examples of David, Nehemiah, Daniel, the Apostle John as well as others is through and by his love. All we give to this life and all that we take from this life is defined by this principle of give-and-take. Every relationship, every event, every moment is rendered through how we give to God and how we take from God.
