Book excerpt: "A billion husbands are about to be replaced." From the author of Fight Club, the classic portrait of the damaged contemporary male psyche, now comes this novel about the apocalyptic marketing possibilities of a new product that gives new meaning to the term "self-help." Penny Harrigan is a low-level associate in a big Manhattan law firm with an apartment in Queens and no love life at all. So it comes as a great shock when she finds herself invited to dinner by one C. Linus Maxwell, a software mega-billionaire and lover of the most gorgeous and accomplished women on earth. After dining at Manhattan's most exclusive restaurant, he whisks Penny off to a hotel suite in Paris, where he proceeds, notebook in hand, to bring her to previously undreamed-of heights of gratification for days on end. What's not to like? This: Penny discovers that she is a test subject for the final development of a line of feminine products to be marketed in a nationwide chain of boutiques called Beautiful You. So potent and effective are these devices that women by the millions line up outside the stores on opening day and then lock themselves in their room with them and stop coming out. Except for batteries. Maxwell's plan for battery-powered world domination must be stopped. But how?

Download or read book The Beautiful No written by Sheri Salata and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Thursday morning. One hundred pounds overweight, no man in sight, and rounding the bend to 57 years old—a full-blown catastrophe.” What happens when you realize you’ve had the career of your dreams, but you don’t have the life of your dreams? This was the stark reality facing Sheri Salata when she left her twenty-year stint at The Oprah Winfrey Show, Harpo Studios and the OWN network. She had dedicated decades to her dream job, and loved (almost) every minute of it, but had left the rest of her life gathering dust on the shelf. After years of telling other people’s makeover stories, Sheri decided to “produce” her own life transformation. And this meant revisiting her past, excavating its lessons, and boldly reimagining her future. In these pages, she invites readers along for the ride—detoxing in the desert, braving humiliation at Hollywood’s favorite fitness studio, grappling with losses, reinventing friendships, baring her soul in sex therapy, and more. Part cautionary tale, part middle-of-life rallying cry, Sheri’s stories offer profound inspiration for personal renewal.
Download or read book Something Beautiful Happened written by Yvette Manessis Corporon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yvette Manessis Corporon grew up listening to her grandmother's stories about how the people of the small Greek island Erikousa hid a Jewish family -- a tailor named Savvas and his daughters -- from the Nazis during World War II. Nearly 2,000 Jews from that area died in the concentration camps, but even though everyone on Erikousa knew Savvas and his family were hiding on the island, no one ever gave them up, and the family survived the war. Years later, Yvette couldn't get the story of the Jewish tailor out of her head. She decided to track down the man's descendants -- and eventually found them in Israel. Their tearful reunion was proof to her that evil doesn't always win. But just days after she made the connection, her cousin's child was gunned down in a parking lot in Kansas, a victim of a Neo-Nazi out to inflict as much harm as he could. Despite her best hopes, she was forced to confront the fact that seventy years after the Nazis were defeated, it was still happening today. As Yvette and her family wrestled with the tragedy in their own lives, the lessons she learned from the survivors of the Holocaust helped her confront and make sense of the present.

Download or read book Beautiful You written by Donna Dissauer Saliba and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-02-11 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I started writing Beautiful You, the title poem itself started to take on an image of strength. From the first line to the last, it demonstrates strength and hope in the midst of pain and disappointment: I look into your eyes Beyond a million tears To see you begging To rid you of your fears I want the first four lines to demonstrate that even though there is pain in whatever personal difficulties one faces that, in those tear filled eyes, there is a lot of hope. There is hope that you will get over whatever fear or difficulty you may face. I have always believed that tears are powerful healers. They help to release your emotions and sometimes helps you sort through things. I look at your mouth Beyond a tired frown To see you wondering When you’ll wear your crown When I see people who are down about the mouth, I know how tired they must feel. When you are awake and thriving and feeling great it is so easy to smile. I heard somewhere once that it takes more energy to frown than it does to smile. It takes more muscles to produce a frown than it does a smile! Frowning takes more energy so it makes you feel tired. Therefore, when I think of things that give me a hard time, I always try to remember that there are millions of other people out there with problems worse than what I have. It makes it easier for me to smile. Think about it: Next time you smile, notice that you hold yourself a little higher, stand a little taller. It changes the atmosphere around your being. I look into your heart Beyond its breaking beats To see you asking If you can endure the heat I feel that as long as my heart is beating, no matter how difficult the issue, I can get through anything. The heart is such a powerful muscle that it can help you power through any problem. Dedication and determination help make the heart stronger and the fight to power through your problems a little easier. I look at your hands Beyond their aching joints To see them praying Your anguished mind to anoint What do millions of people do everyday that gives them strength? Pray. I heard someone close to me say, at one point, she prayed so hard and so much her hands ached to keep them folded in prayer anymore! I knew how much she was relying on the power of faith to help heal her. How much more strong or beautiful can you get than that? No amount of words I write could ever demonstrate how powerful that is. I look into your soul Beyond its hopeful feeling To see you anticipating Its eventual healing In one’s belief you can get through difficulties, you tell yourself that it is only a matter of time before things improve. Time heals all wounds. If you believe that, as I have at certain times, you will see that with family, friends and a supportive network that healing can begin quickly and be softened by that love and support; it can be likened to a blanket that keeps you warm when the world is feeling cold. I look into All these parts of you And see nothing less Than beautiful you In the final four lines of Beautiful You, when you look at a being that is full of love, faith, determination and strength you find a beautiful person who uses all those characteristics to bring themselves through tough times. When I wrote this poem, as I point out in my introduction, I and several of my friends faced some difficult problems and or decisions. I felt that inner strength is what brought us all through our respective problems and allowed us to apply the lessons learned and strength gained to the future. I know I look back on what I had gone through and can proudly say to myself, ‘I guess I was stronger than I knew’. It was an incredible experience to write this second book. So much of it is me
