“After forty years, The Name Therapist helped me finally figure out why I monogram everything: because growing up I could never find a keychain with my name on it! With her inventively fresh observations, impressive wit, humour, charm, and sometimes harsh real talk, Duana Taha has totally convinced me that we are more than just our names. But that names are, actually, everything. I love this book.” —Elaine Lui, author of Listen to the Squawking Chicken
“So would a rose by any other name smell as sweet? Taha answers with a resounding no! The Name Therapist is both erudite and hilarious. It discusses the implications inherent in naming babies and the ways in which we discriminate against certain names. It answers questions you had as a child about all the Jennifers in the schoolyard and then asks, how do we really become who we are? It&rs
What’s a “stripper” name? For that matter, what’s a high-class name? How do you tell the difference? Why does everyone call them “baby” names when they follow us through our whole lives? And can your name determine your destiny?
From a television screenwriter and contributor on the LaineyGossip blog comes a book about what names really mean, how we use them, and why they matter.
A child of Irish and Egyptian immigrants to Canada, Duana Taha became fascinated by names, not least because hers felt awkward at best and impossible at worst. She believed that names explained not only who you were, but where you came from and who you could be. She became a name nerd, and later a name snob, before settling into the role she was born to play—a Name Therapist, giving straight talk baby-and-grown-up-name advice to just about everyone.
Coval uses the idea of L-Vis as a person going against what society expects and rising above (not in all cases) the negativity. Anyone who negotiates for a living should read everything available on the subject, in part to improve their own ability but primarily to understand the approach and tactics the other party may be deploying. This is a fairly formal presentation of the subject; even though, it is quite easy to follow and does not "dry up". the information is very helpful in teaching disabled children because of the pictures in the book.. This book is a great scientific reference book while weaving in the history of how people discovered what we know about ferns. The author spent sooooo much time describing what a rich, spoiled brat she was, but somehow tried to make that look like a positive attribute. The last two chapters (12,13) are optional, and cover potential theory and classical mechanics (specialties of the respective authors). It's a very complete and comprenhesive boo
