&ldquo;What Gets You Out of Bed in the Morning?
Local Speaker and Author Releases Handbook for Finding Purpose
(Jamesburg, NJ) September 1, 2024 &ndash; Noreen Braman, an author from Jamesburg New Jersey, who grew up in East Brunswick, announces the release of her newest book, &ldquo;What Gets You Out of Bed in the Morning?&rdquo; a handbook and self-contained independent study for discovering, or rediscovering, your personal mission and vision.
Braman is an Instructor at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Rutgers University, providing well-being subjects for participants aged 50 and older. She learned that many participants were taking classes at OLLI-RU to experience new things, return to interests previously left behind and for some, attain some skill or knowledge about maintaining meaning in life.
&ldquo;No matter what our stage of life, from being a young career striver through retirement years, we face life changes, some of them coming about without your choice or control. Especially, the journey through midlife and beyond can be an unsettling time. For some, the intense career striving has cooled, or the twists and turns of life may have led to a very different place than originally planned. Feeling adrift may lead to depression, during a time most expect to be flourishing. As parts of life slow down and change, it creates the perfect opportunity to re-examine one&rsquo;s sense of meaning and purpose, to create fresh vision for the road that lies ahead,&rdquo; Braman writes in her book.
She also notes that the title of this handbook takes inspiration from the Japanese word &ldquo;ikigai,&rdquo; which is sometimes loosely translated as &ldquo;a reason to get out of bed in the morning.&rdquo; The cover of the book reflects a humorous depiction of a stick figure jumping out of bed into the light of a smiling sun. As a Certified Laughter Wellness Instructor, and a Chief Well-Being Officer candidate, Braman uses an encouraging lighthearted touch all through the book.
Previous work by Braman includes &ldquo;Treading Water &ndash; The Pandemic Edition&rdquo; and &ldquo;A Bouquet of Roses.&rdquo; Other work can be found on Medium.com, 30seconds.com, and smilesideoflife.com. She is a contributing author to the recent book, &ldquo;UNSHELTERED-None of Us Are Home Until All of Us Are Home (Unsheltered Book Series).&rdquo;
Braman&rsquo;s books are available at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/What-Gets-You-Out-Morning/dp/1304183319/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1S7O3TBIEBGGY&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HHOPh_1IcOo_ZgFMctR2deasfWupHwUjH2wCZgEVb-QycymIxcyhzSo6TohCalximH1mZ5efsEFtR_Los2Qq1oJcH_7vdj0G5Kpx3g1hBtkolJ3LKw2GBQsfTZxyzqhBh1715fy7eQtIVAFwlGmYdw.l8XjgsfHGBjQXp3K2zKwWZAkIoFr5dXEkA62ry0t3pg&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=Noreen+Braman&amp;qid=1725215328&amp;sprefix=noreen+braman%2Caps%2C136&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Amazon</a>, <a href="https://www.everand.com/book/763636253/What-Get-s-You-Out-of-Bed-Morning-Renewal-Revision-Reinvention-after-age-50" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Everand</a>, <a href="https://www.lulu.com/shop/noreen-braman/what-gets-you-out-of-bed-in-the-morning/paperback/product-zmkwgnm.html?page=1&amp;pageSize=4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Lulu</a>, and others.
