Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on 2 and 1/2 years of research and 120 interviews with the most successful leading authorities on human violence and the prevention thereof. Author Alexander Lanshe sought to gain clarity on this question: "What virtues are the most essential for a warrior to live by in order to prepare for, protect against and prevent human violence?" The results of his extensive research revealed seven core virtues that were most often referenced by the 120 interviewees. The book takes a revolutionary approach to preventing human violence in society by focusing on developing the virtue of the individual protector (professional or non-professional). Among the interviewees are world recognized leaders of human violence including: - Lt. Col. Dave Grossman - Gavin de Becker - Massad Ayoob - Rory Miller - Alexis Artwohl, PhD - Ken Murray - Clint Smith - Chuck Taylor - Gary Klugiewicz - James Hamilton - Tom Taylor - Michael Dorn - Patrick Van Horne - Rob Pincus - Dr. Sudip Bose - And more! This book is ideal for the current professional protector in the military, law enforcement, government agencies or the private sector. It is ideal for you if you are a private person who knows that protecting yourself and loved ones from violence ultimately rests on your shoulders. These virtues can be applied by the professional and non-professional alike. Due to the nature of the virtues, the barrier to entry is non-existent - there is no gear you need to buy, no elite tactical training you need, nor advanced degrees required to become someone who lives out these virtuous in your daily life. In addition to neutralizing violent threats, these virtues have tremendous extra benefits that are vast in scope. These virtues can be used and applied to: - Help to survive & overcome the emotional aftermath of a violent encounter - Give each daily task more meaning and purpose - Neutralize other non-violent stressors such as verbal fights, work related stress, self-destructive habits, and negative self-talk. Alexander Lanshe envisions a nation that has been equipped with the seven core warrior virtues and believes that these core virtues are absolutely essential towards neutralizing unjust violence in our society. He accomplishes this vision through selling the book, speaking on stages (large and small) for Warrior & Protector Groups (Professional, Non-Professional, Public and Private), businesses, corporations, Universities, Churches, and High Schools; and producing virtuous warrior based content on his website, www.AlexLanshe.com. If you believe that our society is in desperate need for a re-infusion of warrior virtue - this is the book for you! If you are ready to transform your life and make your sphere of influence just a little bit safer and secure, this book is for you! If you believe in individual responsibility and that a society transformed by these virtues will be better able to combat the evil of our times, this book is for you! Whether you are a hardened professional warrior or a young person just beginning your journey on the warrior path, this book has something to offer you! The collective wisdom of 120 of the greatest minds and most experienced practitioners lies within your grasp - men and women who have been there, done that, and are still doing it!

Download or read book The Anatomy of Genres written by John Truby and published by Picador. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to understanding the major genres of the story world by the legendary writing teacher and author of The Anatomy of Story, John Truby. Most people think genres are simply categories on Netflix or Amazon that provide a helpful guide to making entertainment choices. Most people are wrong. Genre stories aren’t just a small subset of the films, video games, TV shows, and books that people consume. They are the all-stars of the entertainment world, comprising the vast majority of popular stories worldwide. That’s why businesses—movie studios, production companies, video game studios, and publishing houses—buy and sell them. Writers who want to succeed professionally must write the stories these businesses want to buy. Simply put, the storytelling game is won by mastering the structure of genres. The Anatomy of Genres: How Story Forms Explain the Way the World Works is the legendary writing teacher John Truby’s step-by-step guide to understanding and using the basic building blocks of the story world. He details the three ironclad rules of successful genre writing, and analyzes more than a dozen major genres and the essential plot events, or “beats,” that define each of them. As he shows, the ability to combine these beats in the right way is what separates stories that sell from those that don’t. Truby also reveals how a single story can combine elements of different genres, and how the best writers use this technique to craft unforgettable stories that stand out from the crowd. Just as Truby’s first book, The Anatomy of Story, changed the way writers develop stories, The Anatomy of Genres will enhance their quality and expand the impact they have on the world.

Download or read book Anatomy of Failure written by Harlan Ullman and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why, since the end of World War II, has the United States either lost every war it started or failed in every military intervention it prosecuted? Harlan Ullman's new book answers this most disturbing question, a question Americans would never think of even asking because this record of failure has been largely hidden in plain sight or forgotten with the passage of time. The most straightforward answer is that presidents and administrations have consistently failed to use sound strategic thinking and lacked sufficient knowledge or understanding of the circumstances prior to deciding whether or not to employ force. Making this case is an in-depth analysis of the records of presidents from John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama and Donald Trump in using force or starting wars. His recommended solutions begin with a "brains-based" approach to sound strategic thinking to address one of the major causes of failure ----the inexperience of too many of the nation's commanders-in-chief. Ullman reinforces his argument through the use of autobiographical vignettes that provide a human dimension and insight into the reasons for failure, in some cases making public previously unknown history. The clarion call of Anatomy of Failure is that both a sound strategic framework and sufficient knowledge and understanding of the circumstance that may lead to using force are vital. Without them, failure is virtually guaranteed.

Download or read book The Anatomy of the Zulu Army written by Ian Knight and published by Frontline Books. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth look at the army of Africa’s Zulu kingdom leading up to their epic battle against the British army in 1879. Forces of the independent Zulu kingdom inflicted a crushing defeat on British imperial forces at Isandlwana in January, 1879. The Zulu Army was not, however, a professional force, unlike its British counterpart, but was the mobilized manpower of the Zulu state. Ian Knight details how the Zulu army functioned and ties its role firmly to the broader context of Zulu society and culture. The Zulu army had its roots in the early groups of young men who took part in combat between tribes, but such warfare was limited to disputes over cattle ownership, grazing rights, or avenging insults. In the early nineteenth century the Zulu nation began a period of rapid expansion, and King Shaka began to reform his forces into regular military units. Ian Knight charts the development and training of the men that formed the impi, which later operated so successfully under King Cetshwayo. Knight analyzes the Zulu’s fighting methods, weapons, and philosophy, all of which led to the disciplined force that faced the British army in 1879. “For me, this is the Zulu bible—everything you need to know about this warrior race over a 60-year period during the 19th Century. The battles fought are legendary and well covered many times over in other books, but Knight’s “anatomy” goes much deeper. The book explains why the Zulu Army was so fearsome and effective, by exposing how each warrior was virtually nurtured into the role from birth and remained loyal until death.” —David H. Smith, Military Modelling

Download or read book God An Anatomy written by Francesca Stavrakopoulou and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An astonishing and revelatory history that re-presents God as he was originally envisioned by ancient worshippers—with a distinctly male body, and with superhuman powers, earthly passions, and a penchant for the fantastic and monstrous. "[A] rollicking journey through every aspect of Yahweh’s body, from top to bottom (yes, that too) and from inside out ... Ms. Stavrakopoulou has almost too much fun.”—The Economist The scholarship of theology and religion teaches us that the God of the Bible was without a body, only revealing himself in the Old Testament in words mysteriously uttered through his prophets, and in the New Testament in the body of Christ. The portrayal of God as corporeal and masculine is seen as merely metaphorical, figurative, or poetic. But, in this revelatory study, Francesca Stavrakopoulou presents a vividly corporeal image of God: a human-shaped deity who walks and talks and weeps and laughs, who eats, sleeps, feels, and breathes, and who is undeniably male. Here is a portrait—arrived at through the author's close examination of and research into the Bible—of a god in ancient myths and rituals who was a product of a particular society, at a particular time, made in the image of the people who lived then, shaped by their own circumstances and experience of the world. From head to toe—and every part of the body in between—this is a god of stunning surprise and complexity, one we have never encountered before.
Download or read book The Five Dharma Types written by Simon Chokoisky and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A handbook for unlocking the soul’s purpose and manifesting a fulfilling life • Reinterprets the traditional Dharma system of ancient India as a map for revealing one’s true purpose • Provides tests for determining one’s Dharma type • Explains the benefits, challenges, and social, interpersonal, and health dynamics associated with each of the 5 Dharma types Have you ever wondered why, despite great obstacles, some people achieve success, while others, though given everything, seem to squander it away? Or why some people, despite having very little, radiate joy, while others appear miserable though surrounded by opulence? The answer is Dharma: knowing your soul’s purpose and living it is the key to creating a fulfilling life. Built on a deep body of Vedic knowledge, the ancient system of social structure and spiritual duty known as Dharma has modern applications for people seeking their life’s purpose. Author Simon Chokoisky explains the five Dharma archetypes--Warrior, Educator, Merchant, Laborer, and Outsider--and how your life’s purpose goes hand-in-hand with your Dharma type. Providing tests to determine your type, he outlines the benefits, challenges, emotional and learning styles, and social, interpersonal, and health dynamics associated with each type. Chokoisky reveals how the Dharma types function as an operating system for your identity, helping you map your life and play to your innate strengths, whether in choosing a prosperous career or field of study or in facing health challenges and meeting fitness goals. By accepting and understanding the nature of your type, you begin to align with your true purpose and, regardless of fate, find joy and meaning in life.
