Book excerpt: Who wouldn't want the formula for leading a happy and successful life? In this book Kevin Kehoe defines "happy" and "successful" his way, by sharing the lessons he learned through his adventures and misadventures-lessons that have led him to conclude that being a one-hit wonder is a very underrated achievement, and that it's never too late to be a happy hero.Kevin is not famous. He is your average guy. But for almost 70 years, he's searched for the secrets to happiness and success. And what he discovered is that many of the secrets are not so secret, and that knowing what do to is a lot easier than actually doing it. He knows what he is talking about, as he has lived life at what his friends would tell you is full speed and in fifth gear most of the time-a strategy that has worked both to his benefit and detriment. He's an entrepreneur who started and sold several businesses. He was a single parent, an altar boy and choir boy growing up in Catholic schools, the grandchild of Irish immigrants, a runner of marathons, a racer of motorcycles. And a Stage 4 cancer survivor. Some of Kevin's stories will make you laugh, some will make you cry, and some will make you feel like he's writing about your own life. But they each have a simple insight about living like a one-hit wonder and happy hero. He is never preachy about how to do this, but he does offer some timeless truths through his stories that might help you make sense of a world seemingly gone mad. You may not fall in love with every chapter, but if you're like most people, when you re-read the book, the chapters you liked most the first time will be different the second time around.

Download or read book Lost Laysen written by Margaret Mitchell and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1997-05-06 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, the odd thought Margaret Mitchell had only one story to tell: Gone With the Wind. Now meet a heroine to match Scarlett: Courtenay Ross, a feisty, independent-minded woman, and the two men -- one a cool-headed, well-heeled gentleman, the other a hot-blooded, pugnacious sailor -- who adore her. A tale of yearning, valor, and devotion, Lost Laysen enthralls from its delightful beginning to its unforgettable end. Equally intriguing is the story behind the story -- the real-life romance that inspired Mitchell: how she gave the original manuscript as a gift to her beau. Henry Love Angel, and how the manuscript, along with Mitchell's intimate letters and treasured photographs, were lovingly safeguarded only to be discovered decades later in a shoebox Lost Laysen is pure magic, a gift for us to cherish from America's most beloved storyteller.

Download or read book Can t Slow Down written by Michaelangelo Matos and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Rolling Stone-Kirkus Best Music Book of 2020 The definitive account of pop music in the mid-eighties, from Prince and Madonna to the underground hip-hop, indie rock, and club scenes Everybody knows the hits of 1984 - pop music's greatest year. From "Thriller" to "Purple Rain," "Hello" to "Against All Odds," "What's Love Got to Do with It" to "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," these iconic songs continue to dominate advertising, karaoke nights, and the soundtracks for film classics (Boogie Nights) and TV hits (Stranger Things). But the story of that thrilling, turbulent time, an era when Top 40 radio was both the leading edge of popular culture and a moral battleground, has never been told with the full detail it deserves - until now. Can't Slow Down is the definitive portrait of the exploding world of mid-eighties pop and the time it defined, from Cold War anxiety to the home-computer revolution. Big acts like Michael Jackson (Thriller), Prince (Purple Rain), Madonna (Like a Virgin), Bruce Springsteen (Born in the U.S.A.), and George Michael (Wham!'s Make It Big) rubbed shoulders with the stars of the fermenting scenes of hip-hop, indie rock, and club music. Rigorously researched, mapping the entire terrain of American pop, with crucial side trips to the UK and Jamaica, from the biz to the stars to the upstarts and beyond, Can't Slow Down is a vivid journey to the very moment when pop was remaking itself, and the culture at large - one hit at a time.
