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

Perfect for Aggressive Chewers
Color: Blue-Green-Orange
I've been looking for toys my German Shepherd puppies can't tear apart or chew into little bits within minutes. These are tough enough to stand up to them and have the added benefit of helping their teeth with the little surface nubs. This is the second set I've purchased - not because the puppies destroyed them, but because they needed a set for inside as well as outside. I HIGHLY recommend these toys if your dog is a destruction machine!!

Durable, sensory texture
Color: Blue-Green-Orange
These are fantastic. They are durable and high quality. My dog loves the sensory texture and they satisfy his aggressive chewing. I've bought other high-end, popular brands and he chewed through it in less than two hours. I would definitely buy these again (if I even had to)!

Best purchase
Color: Blue-Green-Orange
These are by far one of the best toys for my aggressive chewer. My pitbull mix loves the football & ball, gave the other toy to my niece's dog. Bought them in Nov/Dec and they have held up great, still look new. I was upset when I saw they are no longer available. I would have purchased more to have some for specific outdoor use.

Good buy
Color: Blue-Green-Orange
Babies didn't use them. Too tough for their mouths. They are to small. Good for a bigger puppy.

Mastiff mix puppy loves them
Color: Blue-Green-Orange
I have experience with large working dog breeds, and I've got a mastiff lab mix puppy, who at 5 months weighs 50 pounds and is teething hard, and chews on everything. Most chew toys I've tried broke within a few minutes, but these have held up. I like that the ones I received are hollow, so I can put puppy kibbles inside them to keep the dog busy in her crate, and slow her eating so she doesn't scarf down her meals and get sick. The hole is small, but I feed small sized "taste of the Wild" brand kibbles, and they would pour out of Kong toys within seconds. I have recommended them to other puppy owners. My dog isn't an aggressive chewer, but for a teething puppy, these toys do seem to be ideal.
