a handful of happiness massimo vacchetta

The heart-warming story of how a tiny hedgehog helped one man find hope. ''Could you look after it for a couple of days? . . .'' So begins the extraordinary friendship between veterinarian Massimo, who is at a low spot in his life, and a tiny, orphaned hedgehog. Only a few days old, covered with soft, white quills and mewling quietly, this little creature will turn around his life forever. Through the sheer force of Ninna''s personality - curious, playful, affectionate - and the sudden, unexpected paternal protectiveness he feels nursing her back to health, Massimo reconnects with the world - and finally begins to feel like home. But as Ninna wakes from her first hibernation, she grows up, like any teenager, longing for freedom. A creature of the wild, she craves the free range of the woods beyond Massimo''s house. Massimo must accept that Ninna is ready to move on . . . but one little hedgehog saved and released into her natural habitat is a new beginning for Massimo: setting up a sanctuary for the injured, orphaned, fragile - but with a will to live so strong it is truly contagious. A Handful of Happiness is their funny and life-affirming story - a celebration of our favourite prickly wildlife creature, which will make you laugh and cry. Perfect for animal lovers and fans of A Streetcat Named Bob, Arthur, Finding Gobi and Monty Don''s Nigel.

„Tak prečo to robíš? Čo z tých ježkov máš?“ „Mám z nich radosť.“ „Mohol by si sa oňho tie dva dni postarať?“ Tak nejako začalo priateľstvo veterinára Massima špecializujúceho sa na dobytok s opusteným ježkom. Mláďatko staré sotva pár dní je celé ružovkasté a na chrbte má pásik bielych, mäkkých a mierne rozstrapatených pichliačov. Váži iba dvadsaťpäť gramov a tíško fňuká – je hladné, je mu zima, možno sa cíti osamelo. Jeho zúfalé nariekanie je však také silné a naliehavé, že prenikne aj cez Massimov obranný štít ukutý z apatie a sily zvyku. A tak sa stalo, že mu Ninna – to rozstrapatené ježie mláďatko bola samička – kúzlom svojej osobnosti prevrátila život naruby. Je zvedavá. Len čo vycíti niečo nové, hneď vystrčí ňufáčik zo svojho úkrytu. Je veľmi hravá. Zabáva sa tým, že ňufákom prevracia misku s vodou. Je nežná. Keď Massima dlhší čas nevidí, od samej radosti ho potom oblíže. Ale je to aj voľne žijúce zviera, ktoré potrebuje slobodu. Klietka je jej čím ďalej tesnejšia, šťastie nachádza vonku v lesoch… Massimo Vacchetta rozpráva o nezvyčajnom stretnutí, ktoré mu pomohlo prekonať zlé obdobie a vnuklo mu nový zmysel života. Založil záchrannú stanicu pre ježkov, z ktorých sa vinou našej nepozornosti stal ohrozený druh, a stará sa o tie, ktoré potrebujú dlhodobú pomoc. Ako napríklad Trilly, zaprisahaný donchuan, či krehká Lisa, ktorá si všetkých získala svojim pohľadom, alebo Zoe, ktorému sa podarilo odraziť všetky údery osudu. Zranené, týrané, bezbranné zvieratká, ktoré však prekypujú túžbou po živote. Autoři: Massimo Vacchetta - žije v severotalianskom meste Novello neďaleko francúzskych hraníc. Ako súkromný veterinár sa už vyše dvadsať rokov špecializuje na dobytok.

„Tak proč to děláš? Co máš z ježků?” „Mám z nich radost.” „Mohl by ses o něj teď na ty dva dny postarat?” Takhle nějak začalo přátelství veterináře Massima, specializujícího se na dobytek, s opuštěným ježečkem. Mláďátko staré sotva pár dní je celé červené a na hřbetu má proužek bílých, měkkých a trochu rozcuchaných bodlin. Váží pouhých 25 gramů a slabounce kňourá: má hlad, je mu zima anebo se možná cítí osaměle. Plakání je tak zoufalé, že pronikne i skrz Massimův obranný štít tvořený apatií a silou zvyku. A tak se stalo, že Ninna – rozcuchaný ježeček byla samička – obrátila kouzlem své osobnosti jeho život naruby. Je zvědavá a jakmile vycítí něco nového, vystrčí čumáček ze svého úkrytu; je velmi hravá a baví se tím, že čenichem převrací misku s vodou; je něžná a když Massima delší dobu nevidí, samou radostí ho pak olíže. Zároveň je to ale volně žijící zvíře, které potřebuje svobodu: klec je mu čím dál těsnější a štěstí nachází venku v lesích… Massimo Vacchetta v této knize vypráví o neobvyklém setkání, které mu pomohlo překonat špatné období a vnuklo mu nový smysl: založit záchrannou stanici pro ježky, vinou naší nepozornosti ohrožený druh, a postarat se o ty, kteří pomoc potřebují. Tak jako Trilly, zapřísáhlý donchuán, nebo křehká Lisa, jež si všechny okolo získala svým pohledem, nebo Zoe, jemuž se podařilo odrazit všechny rány osudu.

Lisina očka jsou živá a tmavá, tělo štíhlé a čumáček pěkně zašpičatělý. Když ji našli, sotva lapala po dechu, pravděpodobně byla omráčená od auta. Jedině Massimo, který pro ježky založil záchrannou stanici v oblasti Langhe, ji může zachránit. Vypadá to beznadějně, ale ani jeden z nich to nevzdává a po noci plné obav se ježeček znovu staví na nohy. Ovšem ne tak docela, traumatické poranění mozku mu způsobilo hemiparézu, takže je trvale postižený. Je správné udržovat ho při životě s vědomím, že bude potřebovat neustálou péči a nikdy znovu nepocítí, jak chutná svoboda? A co s Tvářičkou, zohavenou od sekačky na trávu? Anebo s Pacičkou, která se narodila bez zadních nohou? Massimo neváhá – život je život a je potřeba ho zachránit. Od té chvíle se Lisa a další stávají jeho nerozlučnými společníky, a to když se o ně stará i během probdělých nocí po mnoha kritických situacích. Díky ježkům se Massimo naučil být trpělivý, umět se vcítit i pochopit, kolik radosti se skrývá v drobných skutcích. O významu toho, co pro ježky dělá, se sám přesvědčí, když onemocní jeho matka a jemu se krůček po krůčku podaří překonat konflikty a nedorozumění a znovu objevit, co je vždy spojovalo. V této citlivě napsané knize autor bestselleru 25 gramů štěstí statečně čelí kontroverzním zábleskům náklonnosti a odhodlání a ukazuje, jak ve své jednoduchosti mají zvířata mnohem bezprostřednější a jasnější nahlížení světa a mohou nám pomoct poznat podstatu života. Autor: Massimo Vacchetta - žije v severoitalském městě Novello, poblíž francouzských hranic. Jako veterinář se přes dvacet let specializoval na dobytek. V roce 2014 otevřel Záchrannou stanici pro ježky s názvem „Ninna“ (Centro di Recupero Ricci „La Ninna“). Spolu s Antonellou Tomaselli napsal knihu 25 gramů štěstí, která se úspěšně prodává v USA, Velké Británii, Francii, Německu, Japonsku a mnoha dalších zemích.

The virus, the war, the climate, inflation, poverty and loneliness make people feel insecure. In these troubled times, there is more interest than ever for what is truly important in life: happiness, hope and love. What does science teach us today? Are we still allowed to strive towards happiness? And how do we do that? Leo Bormans asked the same question over and over again to a hundred professors all over the world: established names and young up-and-comers.

How to solve the pressure of gossiping and envy? What is the real origin of illness?

The third part of the Primer of happiness is not intended only for parents that are looking for a way, with what form to give their descendants the best, but also for souls that want to understand why there are fears in them, why they act the way they act, or they are not successful in something. The key to life pains is located in their childhood. In the way how we were approached, what we saw, feel, experience and absorb in ourselves from the moment of procreation until growing up. ***** “He who teaches, he learns. Let´s thank for children, they are not a mater of course but a gift. They came to heal us and show us where we have in­ ammation.“ ***** I was tucking in the shirt of my three years old Sára Ráchel and I told her: “So your small of the back would not get cold…” She looked at me and she said: ***** “Daddy, I do not have small of the back there, I have wings there.” ***** You cannot give a child something, that is not in you. – Constant criticizing is the confession of how discontent you are with yourselves, as well as shouting is the expression of your inner pain and helplessness. – A child’s soul is like savana. One sentence is enough to set it on ­ re. – You cannot force children to take on your values. They will take only what they will need in their life mission. – Do not do anything on child´s ***** behalf, that the child can do itself. You will weaken the child. – Every kid has a powerful Self and the more you will try to break it the longer the child will look for itself as an adult. – The children resonate with what is happening in parents. – Your children do not have to follow in your footsteps and how your parents will end, is their decision. You only have to try to support them.

Great writers like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, Samuel Johnson, John Wilkes and Catharine Macaulay were part of a pioneering generation that shaped and inspired the American Dream. For the first time, bestselling historian Peter Moore vividly traces the transatlantic friendships and revolutionary ideas that inspired the Declaration of Independence.''Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness'' is the best-known phrase from that document, which was drafted by Thomas Jefferson in the summer of 1776. Today this line is evoked as a shorthand for that ideal we call the American Dream. But the vision it encapsulates – of a free and happy world – has its roots in Great Britain.This book tells the story of the years that preceded the Declaration. From the accession of King George III to the astonishing tale of John Wilkes, from the notorious Stamp Act to the Boston Tea Party, it shows how Britain and her American Colonies broke apart.

The stoics lived a long time ago, but they had some startling insights into the human condition-insights which endure to this day. The philosophical tradition, founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium in 301 BC, endured as an active movement for almost 500 years, and contributions from dazzling minds such as Cicero, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius helped create a body of thought with an extraordinary goal-to provide a rational, healthy way of living in harmony with the nature of the universe and in respect of our relationships with each other. In many ways a precursor to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Stoicism provides an armamentarium of strategies and techniques for developing psychological resilience, while celebrating all in life which is beautiful and important. By learning what stoicism is, you can revolutionize your life and learn how to seize the day, live happily and be a better person. This simple, empowering book shows how to use this ancient wisdom to make practical, positive changes in your life. Using thought-provoking case studies, highlighting key ideas and things to remember and providing tools for self-assessment, it demonstrates that Stoicism is a proven, profound pathway to happiness.

Desiderata, that world-famous poem that begins, ''Go placidly amid the noise and haste'', must be one of the best-loved poems in the English language, revered by many as the ideal philosophy of life. Few people realise that it was written in 1927 by the Indiana poet Max Ehrmann who died in 1945 and whose work, until the 1960s, was largely forgotten.This beautiful little book brings together more of the writings of this remarkable man, revealing a love of the world and a concern for its social problems that mark him as one of the greatest spokesman of the twentieth century. Ehrmann was not afraid to express his thoughts about the evils and scandals he saw around him, and in his quest for contentment he turned to nature and the eternal passage of the seasons: his philosophical thoughts are a search for social truth and peace.Readers will find in his poems much that has relevance today. Through Ehrmann we are led to look again at our twenty-first century values and to turn for truth and reality to the essence of beauty and goodness that lies all around us, if we can but open our eyes to see.
