Explosions of Joy is a memoir about the grief counselor to families of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370. On March 8, 2014, those families went to pick up their loved ones and saw "delay" on the arrival boards. Within the hour, they were instructed to gather at a hotel conference room because the plane had disappeared from radar. Paul Yin lived in Beijing and went straight there when the news broke. He immediately orchestrated counseling for all those involved by connecting them to insurance/EAP if they had it, trained counselors on the spot, and conducted his own sessions. He was the face on all the newscasts (CNN, Anderson Cooper, NBC, and many other international news outlets) as an advocate for the families.

The memoir follows his life as he fought to break through the barriers against mental health care which remained intact from Mao Zedong's rule. Paul Yin, after studying psychology in California, fought hard to chip away at "political thought correction" in China to replace it with real, beneficial counseling. He has lectured to hundreds of crowds, trained thousands of counselors, and was instrumental in establishing the Employee Assistance Program in China and parts of Africa. Paul has provided counseling to victims and families of several Chinese National disasters: SARS, the Sichuan Earthquake, Asiana Airlines 214 Disaster, and, most recently, MH370. Paul helped China realize the need for psychology, and he describes the ways he helped people find joy despite unspeakable grief.

Paul's inspiration through his whole journey has been to put aside his own ego, live a life with meaning, and lift others up above himself. He said, "I will never walk on water, but I want to be the droplets of water for others to walk on," which was why, most recently, he agreed to accept a position as a teacher at a prep school for Peking University called Dalton Academy. His teaching philosophy is having an amazing impact on young minds. Dalton's top-requested field of study is now psychology in a country which just 20 years ago had very few ways to study the field, and a country where Paul Yin was told unequivocally, "There's no place for psychology in China and you know it "

"Explosions of Joy is an extraordinary tribute to counselor Paul Yin and to grieving families of Malaysia Flight 370 disaster. The book illustrates kindness, compassion, advocacy, activism and faith in the face of aviation tragedy." -Ellen Weber (PhD) Mita International Brain Center

"A brilliant, haunting, and healing book . . ." -Dr. Herb Goldberg, author of What Men Still Don't Know About Women, Relationships, and Love; The Hazards of Being Male: Surviving the Myth of Masculine Privilege, Creative Aggression, and several others

The best bone you can get for pitbulls!
Size: Large (Pack of 1)
Can I give these more than five stars? Please?? They truly deserve more than that! I have bought these bones for the last 2 years for my pitbull mix, who is a very aggressive chewer. Her favorite thing to do is just lay and chew. These bones last FOREVER! She can lay there and chew all day long and they will last her MONTHS! It’s honestly amazing! These are the best bones we’ve ever given her and they are the only ones we’ll buy her! Not only do they last forever, they’re safe and natural too! Best product ever!

Great for aggressive chewers, but small mess
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Size: Large (Pack of 1)
He took it right away! It’s a great size. We’ll see how it holds up ONE MONTH UPDATE: (photo included) He loves it still! Still a bit messy but holding up great and he’s a aggressive chewer 1 WEEK UPDATE (photo update included) The bone is great. He loves it and it’s been holding up great. Our 8 month puppy is a super chewer and 60 lbs. the bone has signs of wear but nothing crazy. I went from 5 stars to 4 stars because whenever he chews the bone, the small tiny pieces of bone/wood go everywhere and they’re sticky/hard and make kind of a mess. But still would get this bone again and highly recommend

Made for aggressive chewers
Size: Small (Pack of 1)
My aggressive chewers are obsessed. This is one of the only chew toys that actually lasts for them. Always have to buy 2 so they each have their own
