Sobre aquest llibre

Almost There is the delivery of an experience that I never wanted. It involves the distorted thinking that comes from anorexia and compulsive thinking. What makes this more than a simple journal more than a painful letter to a sister that struggled without the acknowledgement that might have lead to an answer? Your perspective is the only answer. Your relationship to another with similar problems, with someone who refuses to see the truth may make this book worth a read. Your ability or desire to look beyond the news stories and headlines may justify the time and expense and it just may help in the painful process of loving someone who chooses a self destructive existence.

Sobre l'autor

I'd love to say that I am a schooled and experienced author, but this is not the case. This, my first book is a result of experience, an experience that I never wanted. But if you feel so inclined you can look at the book to determine if it is a successful collection of letters. My extensive experience is in the graphic design and marketing industry. After 30 plus years applying creativity to the business community I have honed that skill well. After running my own business (www.axisvisual.com) for the past 15 years I have learned a few things about managing the balance between expressing my own creative drive and understanding the different marketing needs of many different businesses. At 54 (OK, 55 in a few weeks), if one pays attention and has a curiosity about life there is an inescapable result of learning more than a simple profession. I have told students many time that curiosity about everything is the biggest advantage a person can ever acquire. As the parents of two other creative people It may have been inevitable that I chose a career where I can think in new ways for new business needs. My father had a successful design and illustration career for 44 years. He recently passed away and left an astonishing collection of paintings, all done after his retirement (http://www.axisvisual.com/rmilnazik). All this leads to where I am now and the thoughts and delivery of my thoughts in my first book.
