SUMMARY:Bristol Humanists: Mark Williamson on making life happier
DESCRIPTION:We look forward to supporting this event organised by Bristol Humanists. \nFull details to follow. \nDr Mark Williamson is co-founder and Director of Action for Happiness. \nHis book offers 23 practical ways to make life happier. It’s based on evidence from the latest scientific research combined with unique insights from the author plus proven ideas that he has helped thousands of people to adopt successfully in their everyday lives. It goes much deeper than typical self-help advice\, covering a wide range of themes which contribute to lifelong wellbeing. \nThe book combines actions to improve your own happiness with actions that benefit others too. Make Life Happier is also an invitation to join a global movement of people who are choosing to live differently. People who recognise that happiness is not just a personal quest\, but a gift that can enrich our communities and our world. It’s an invitation to help shift our values. From what we can get to what we can give. From seeking validation to finding connection. From just surviving to actively thriving. Remember\, this is about how to make life happier\, rather than happy\, recognising this is a journey and there’s no perfect end-point. The most important thing to keep in mind right now is that your actions matter. \nYou may not be able to change your circumstances\, but you do have the potential to feel better\, find meaning and make a difference. Whatever your situation is\, you can do something.

SUMMARY:The Gull Yettin: Accidental Graphic Novel Book Club meets with author Joe Kessler
DESCRIPTION:Our occasional graphic novel book club meets to discuss The Gull Yettin. We are very pleased to be joined by the author\, Joe Kessler\, to discuss his stunning and moving\, wordless creation. \nIf you’d like to sign up please get in touch: read@heronbooks.mom. Space is limited. We ask that you buy the book from us or a different book if you already own this one. \nJoe Kessler is at the forefront of European comics. Co-founder and art director of UK’s Breakdown Press\, and winner of the Angoulême International Comics Festival’s Fauve Révélation for his breakthrough comic book Windowpane\, Kessler rejuvenates the form once again with his vivid and moving The Gull Yettin. \nTold in striking colors and loose but confident lines\, The Gull Yettin’s story begins when a young boy awakens late one night to find his home on fire. The boy is saved by a lanky\, shapeshifting Gull. Orphaned by the fire\, and now adrift in a boat piloted by the Gull\, the boy faces an uncertain future\, one that will be both helped and hindered by his new attendant. \nWithout a word\, Kessler builds a strange but recognizable world\, using it to explore all the forms that grief\, jealousy\, longing\, and love can take in our lives\, and the compassion and cruelty that can dwell in a single heart. Filled with all the warmth and poignancy of a great folktale\, The Gull Yettin proves that Kessler is pushing comics to new heights.
