There really is a better way, A startling and at times unsettlingly prescient collection of J.G. Ballarde(tm)s greatest interviews. J.G. Ballard was a literary giant. Best known for his controversial bestseller e~Crashe(tm) and the memoir e~Empire of the Sune(tm), he was a writer of unique talent e" always surprising, frequently prescient. Such acuity was not exclusive to his novels and, as this book reminds us, Ballarde(tm)s restive intelligence sharpened itself in dialogue. He entertained many with insights into the world as he saw it, and speculated, often correctly, about its future. Some of these observations earned Ballard an oracular reputation, and continue to yield an uncannily accurate commentary today. e~Extreme Metaphorse(tm) collects the finest interviews of his career. Conversations with Will Self, Jon Savage, Iain Sinclair and John Gray, and collaborators like David Cronenberg, are a reminder of his wit and humanity, testament to Ballarde(tm)s profound worldliness as much as his otherworldly imagination. This collection is an indispensable tribute to one of recent historye(tm)s most original thinkers., For those who feel like they are expending too much energy either engaging in conflict or desperately trying to avoid it, this refreshing, realistic guide provides accessible solutions. Readers will learn why dealing with a difficult person doesn't have to ruin their day, the habits that cause conflict, and the techniques that can turn things around. It also gives readers insight into their own power in shaping relationships, and specific advice for handling different personality types. There really is a better way!
