Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharing secrets and stories, tales from the track, and insights into her personal life, Danica reflects on her extraordinary rise from a ten-year-old go-kart champion to the most successful woman in the history of American racing. Danica Patrick's life moves at 220 mph. She drives every race and lives every day like she has something to prove—and she does. As a 5-foot 2-inch, 100-pound woman, she had to qualify a little quicker and race a little faster than the boys—just to earn the respect she would otherwise be given if she weren't the "girl on the track, driving the princess mobile." But you don't get to be an IndyCar driver without talent and determination. Danica is living proof that if you work hard and aim high, you can do whatever you set your mind to, that you can rise to any challenge, and that what makes you different is what makes you great. An inspiration to all, Crossing the Line offers Danica's unique perspective on how to compete in life, how to stand out, and how to get the respect and attention you deserve.

Book excerpt: What Happens When Women See What Men See? You already know that your husband, boyfriend, or son is wired differently from you, but do you know what that really means? It means, among other things, that he’s been given the gift of a unique visual wiring—and the challenges that come with it. In Through a Man’s Eyes, Shaunti Feldhahn and Craig Gross team up to help open our eyes to something we are often blind to. They address questions like: · “Why are guys so visual—and what does that mean, anyway?” · “How do I help my son navigate this sex-crazed culture?” · “How dare someone tell a woman to watch what she wears! Isn’t it a man’s responsibility not to look?” · “If he’s tempted by visual images, is there something wrong with him? With me?” · “My husband is an honorable guy, so why would he be tempted by porn?” · “How can I talk to my husband or son about this? What can I do to support him?” Through the compassion and candor in this book, we can learn what men have long wished we knew (but didn’t know how to explain)—and see the difference it makes when we do!
Download or read book Burn the Page written by Danica Roem and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspirational memoir-meets-manifesto by Danica Roem, the nation's first openly trans person elected to US state legislature Danica Roem made national headlines when--as a transgender former frontwoman for a metal band and a political newcomer--she unseated Virginia's most notoriously anti-LGBTQ 26-year incumbent Bob Marshall as state delegate. But before Danica made history, she had to change her vision of what was possible in her own life. Doing so was a matter of storytelling: during her campaign, Danica hired an opposition researcher to dredge up every story from her past that her opponent might seize on to paint her negatively. In wildly entertaining prose, Danica dismantles all the stories her opponents tried to hedge against her, showing how through brutal honesty and loving authenticity, it's possible to embrace the low points, and even transform them into her greatest strengths. Burn the Page takes readers from Danica's lonely, closeted, and at times operatically tragic childhood to her position as a rising star in a party she's helped forever change. Burn the Page is so much more than a stump speech: it's an extremely inspiring manifesto about how it's possible to set fire to the stories you don't want to be in anymore, whether written by you or about you by someone else--and rewrite your own future, whether that's running for politics, in your work, or your personal life. This book will not just encourage people who think they have to be spotless to run for office, but inspire all of us to own our personal narratives as Danica does.

Book excerpt: What if we could help people design a life they loved to live?

As a result, people settle for less than optimal life and end up frustrated, burned out, and going through the motions of a mass-produced life. In Customize Your Life: Break Free From Ordinary and Create a Life You'll Love to Live, entrepreneurs, certified performance coaches, and philanthropists, Tony and Frances Pappalardo propose a better way. It starts by casting a vision of your customized life and quickly moves into crafting a blueprint to get where you want to go and creating a network of people who both challenge and encourage you to push forward and grow. This book isn't theory. It's filled with actionable steps, concrete examples, and powerful stories of people who have put these practices to work in their own lives and created a life they love to live. In the pages of this book, you'll learn: How to intentionally cast a vision for the life you want to live What your past struggles can teach you about your future success How to create a roundtable of advisors whose knowledge shortens your journey to your goal How to create a step-by-step blueprint that helps you eliminate distraction Why your tribe can become your secret weapon that helps you change the world How to learn from the experts to "fold time" and get farther, faster Which four seats at your roundtable must be filled first How to become a change agent who uses your life to impact others How to adapt and react when life doesn't go as planned Here's the simple truth: we each only get one life to live, and how we live that life is our choice. When you discover the secret of how to Customize Your Life, it changes the way you look at the world, and your one life will never be the same.
