Hana Myers. Narrator This is from the Fault in Our Stars By John Green. Late in the winter of my 17th year, my mother decided I was depressed, presumably because I rarely left the house, spent quite a lot of time in bed, read the same book over and over eight infrequently and devoted quite a bit of my abundant free time to thinking about death. Whenever you read a cancer booklet or website or whatever, they always list depression among the side effects of cancer. But in fact, depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying. Cancer is also a side effect of dying. Almost everything is really. But my mom believed I required treatment. So she took me to see my regular doctor, Jim, who agreed that I was veritably swimming in a paralyzing and totally clinical depression, and that therefore my meds should be adjusted, and also I should attend a weekly support group. This support group featured a rotating cast of characters in various states of tumor driven on wellness. Why did the Castro take a side effect of dying? The support group, of course, was depressing his health it met every Wednesday in the basement of a stonewalled Episcopal church shaped like a cross. We all sat in a circle right in the middle of the cross, where the two boards would have met where the heart of Jesus would have been. I noticed this because Patrick, the support group leader and Onley person over 18 in the room, talked about the heart of Jesus, every freaking meeting, all about how we, as young cancer survivors, were sitting right in Christ, very sacred heart and whatever. So here's how it went in God's heart. The six or seven or 10 of us walked. Wheeldon, grazed at a decrepit selection of cookies and lemonade, sat down in the circle of trust and listen to Patrick recount for the 1000th time, his depressing Lee miserable life story, how he had cancer in his balls and they thought he was going to die. But he didn't die. And now here he is. Ah, full grown adult in a church basement in the 137th nicest city in America, divorced, addicted to video games, mostly friendless, eking out a meager living by exploiting his cancer tastic passed slowly, working his way toward a master's degree that will not improve his career prospects, waiting as we all dio for the sort of Dominic lease to give him the relief that he escaped lo those many years ago when cancer took both of his nuts but spared. But only the most generous soul would call hiss life. And you, too might be so lucky. This is from personal finance That doesn't suck By Mindy Crary I know what you're thinking right now. You bought this book because you don't know where to turn. I get it. You've probably been burned, overwhelmed or just under engaged. Last time someone talked about personal finance to you, Maybe it was the rep from your for a one K plan giving a talk. And you went mostly for the free lunch partly because, you know, you should care. Then, when he or she started talking about economic indicators and the C. P I and historical returns and benchmarking performance, you went ugg, your brain melted and you felt all kinds of not so fun feelings and you went back to avoiding it all. Some people fake the phone call to get out of the meeting once that lunch is done. Others just think about pulling the fire alarm. Or maybe you have the privilege of sharing the session with that one guy who actually gets what the rep is saying. Ask super insightful questions while simultaneously making you feel like a slacker Idiot. Hide and I care about my for a one K like Gerald, I suck. Why is this so hard? I promise you, this isn't what I am here to dio, and, alas, there's no lunch that comes with this book, not even a group on, although my editor did have that thought when she read this section. I've been a financial planner and business owner for almost 16 years, and in that time I've worked with literally thousands of people on their personal financial lives from the multi millionaire. Not nearly so, By the way. The most impressive woman I ever met was the one who made $28,000 saved 14,000
