This book was released on 2014-11-24 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A self-help book drawn from the author's elite military training and autobiographical experiences over the course of being forced to survive for fourteen years within the confines of a notorious privately owned Corrections Corporation of America prison in the state of Tennessee. This is not just a self-help manual for the incarcerated or interested parties, but rather a rich detailed account of how an elite soldier survived a personal journey through a world of extreme emotional and psychological duress, violence, death, corruption, prison politics, and survival while refusing to join a prison gang for protection. This is the experienced knowledge of a soldier who is forced to become a prison convict and continue, seemingly alone, upon a dangerous warrior's path which ultimately culminates into a personal spiritual journey. If experience is the most cruel teacher of all than the tools, knowledge, wisdom, and insights shared within the pages of this book were acquired through unadulterated cruelty.

Download or read book The Layperson s Guide to Exercise Diet and Supplements written by Daniel J. Shamy and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We instinctively know that exercise, eating the right things, and taking vitamins sustains our health, maintains our youth, and offers a sense of wellbeing. Traditional fitness publications do a great job telling you what to do, but lack any explanation as to the why and how. They offer a map to youth by micromanaging your diet, exercise and or supplements. You blindly follow their lead in expectation of finding your fountain of youth through their training. Every body is different, which is why one map may work for one person, but not another; maybe it failed you, so you try another. What you may not realize is that although they offer step by step instruction to find the fountain, they are not teaching you how to read the map. Although the map is the same, the directions are different for each of us to find the fountain of youth. the difference between the layperson and expert is their ability to read the map as a whole; that map is our anatomy. That cartography lesson is learned by teaching you how exercise, diet and supplements work rather than being told what in the same to follow. At the end of the lesson, you may now understand that your journey may require parts of many methods, rather than the single direction of one. the author shares his own journey as he teaches you how to read the map, so you understand how one has successfully read the map to discover his fountain of youth.

Download or read book Wrecked written by Lee Dickinson and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2022-12-16 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harrison King is convinced that he does not have a problem with alcohol, despite the fact people often tell him that he drinks too much and he often gets himself into awkward situations after a few drinks. When his girlfriend leaves him because she thinks he is an alcoholic, Harrison sets out to prove to her and to everyone else, that he is completely non-dependent and that he is a highly functioning and responsible adult. He quickly realises that he might be drinking a little too regularly, but he is adamant that he is not an alcoholic. Wrecked follows Harrison and his struggles with his career that he hates, his boss that he hates even more and his battle with his control over his consumption. Harrison drinks when he has a bad day at work, when he cannot decide what to do with his life, when he is stressed and as a way of dealing with social interactions. As Harrison continues with his journal, he questions his life choices, tries to expand his social circle and put more effort into a plan for his future. But his drunken antics keep getting him into increasingly uncomfortable situations.

Download or read book Exercised written by Daniel Lieberman and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If exercise is healthy (so good for you!), why do many people dislike or avoid it? These engaging stories and explanations will revolutionize the way you think about exercising—not to mention sitting, sleeping, sprinting, weight lifting, playing, fighting, walking, jogging, and even dancing. “Strikes a perfect balance of scholarship, wit, and enthusiasm.” —Bill Bryson, New York Times best-selling author of The Body • If we are born to walk and run, why do most of us take it easy whenever possible? • Does running ruin your knees? • Should we do weights, cardio, or high-intensity training? • Is sitting really the new smoking? • Can you lose weight by walking? • And how do we make sense of the conflicting, anxiety-inducing information about rest, physical activity, and exercise with which we are bombarded? In this myth-busting book, Daniel Lieberman, professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University and a pioneering researcher on the evolution of human physical activity, tells the story of how we never evolved to exercise—to do voluntary physical activity for the sake of health. Using his own research and experiences throughout the world, Lieberman recounts without jargon how and why humans evolved to walk, run, dig, and do other necessary and rewarding physical activities while avoiding needless exertion. Exercised is entertaining and enlightening but also constructive. As our increasingly sedentary lifestyles have contributed to skyrocketing rates of obesity and diseases such as diabetes, Lieberman audaciously argues that to become more active we need to do more than medicalize and commodify exercise. Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology and anthropology, Lieberman suggests how we can make exercise more enjoyable, rather than shaming and blaming people for avoiding it. He also tackles the question of whether you can exercise too much, even as he explains why exercise can reduce our vulnerability to the diseases mostly likely to make us sick and kill us.

Download or read book Fitness Central Volume 3 written by Rahul Mookerjee and published by 0 Excuses Fitness. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The THIRD Volume in the "Fitness Central" series - and one guaranteed to blow your SOCKS OFF - more so than the previous two versions combined! This book should be a part of every serious trainee’s “Bible” (hey, that’s an idea for a new product - - although the “pagans” amongst you might not like it, hehe). Ok, so I’m joking. Personally yours truly is a huge, huge believer in the Universe - - and Universal Energy, but when it comes to “man man” religion, I’m an ardent NON believer, and proud of it too. Why – well, that’s another book unto itself, but for now, suffice it to say that what I DO believe in is giving it to you STRAIGHT when it comes to fitness tips - - and stuff that other folks don’t want to talk about in general, both in terms of fitness and life and anything else I’ve written about. What I do believe in a ZERO excuses, no B.S. approach when it comes to fitness. I believe in going in ALL guns blazing when it comes to fitness (or life, for that matter) goals - -and keeping that approach going until I get what I’m after. This approach has served me well in the following endeavors (thus far) - - Go from being overweight, obese and out of shape and a “humungous” 120 kgs … to a “svelte” 60 kgs or so. Go from someone who was born with terrible genetics in terms of “body shape” etc … to someone whose routinely told he has “good genetics”. Go from (this one is literally world famous) being able to do no more than 5 or so pull-ups in a workout to someone that bangs out a 100+ ... And much, much more. If you were looking for more reasons as to "why" you should follow - and listen to me - well, you've got a few now! What you’ll learn from these tips - and how you'll benefit - •How shorter workouts can be just as - - in fact, way more effective than the long, drawn out workouts you’ve been advised to do - - and how they benefit your HEALTH and MINDSET more than you could ever imagine! •How foreign devils in China workout - -and why these workouts are so brutally effective! Yet another one “for the books” as it were … •Why your breath is literally the most important thing you should focus upon during your exercise routine - - and how you can burn fat off your frame almost instantly once you start applying the right breathing techniques. Believe me - - THIS tip alone is something most folks would be happy to drop more than a hundred smackers on to learn! •You’ll learn about my much vaunted and much famous (all over the Internet) hill climb from China, and how it benefited me, and how similar workouts can benefit YOU! •You will learn how to get cardio workouts in like NEVER before – workouts that take less than 15 minutes, and leave you soaked in sweat, burning fat like never before and feeling on TOP of the world. •You’ll learn how to build massive arms, and that BARREL chest you have always wanted. Guys, drop the gym memberships NOW – they won’t give you benefits remotely resembling these. •How you can literally DOUBLE your energy in LESS the time. •What I think of “abdominal training gadgets” and other fitness “machines” they sell on late night TV infomercials, and why! •Why training like an animal is a great, great idea. Ever seen cats in the wild, for instance, train on split schedules, take long breaks between “sets of runs” and so forth? I don’t think so … and I don’t think the average gym goer can hold a CANDLE to the amazing strength and flexibility these “beasts” posess! •They say kids can teach us a LOT about not just training, but life in general - - and one of the tips touches specifically upon this - - and again, it’s a tip worth it’s weight in GOLD to be frank. And much, much more. Dive in now, and be prepared to be GOB SMACKED with “never seen before” info on fitness that’ll literally have you burning fat, building muscle and SCULPTING your body from the inside out at the soonest.

Download or read book Year of the Chick written by Romi Moondi and published by Romi Moondi. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Book 1 in the "Year of the Chick" series. There's a bit of a cliffhanger to end this book, but the sequel addresses any unanswered questions] An awkward family homecoming at Christmas. A humiliating public weigh-in, with two judging parents as the audience. The announcement of a deadline for arranged marriage doom. And that's just the first two chapters. In "Year of the Chick," Romi Narindra must find love before her parents find her a husband (a seemingly absurd concept that's the norm in many cultures). To escape her fate, Romi wades through the waters of secret-dating, where self-consciousness is at an all-time high, and experience at an all-time low. It's the sort of thing that would turn almost anyone into a man-crazy freak with romance tunnel-vision, and that's exactly what happens to her. All the while, a lack of inspiration in her corporate job leads Romi to her love of writing, in what quickly becomes a man-quest play-by-play. From whiskey-breath scum bags to uni-brow creeps and everything in between, Romi and her wingmen come up empty time after time. And that's when she meets a fellow writer. On the Internet. So will it be arranged marriage doom, or an Internet affair that's not as creepy as "To Catch a Predator"? Time will tell in the "year of the chick," a twelve-month quest to find love. Tick-tock. --------------------------------------------- "Year of the Chick" is book 1 in a series, and the sequel "Last-Minute Love" is available now!

Download or read book Year of the Chick series Romantic Comedy boxed set written by Romi Moondi and published by Romi Moondi. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [NOTE: each novel in the boxed set is about 74,000 words for a total of approximately 850 printed pages] This three-book romantic comedy series is all about starting from nowhere (no dating skills, no passion for a corporate job, low self-esteem), and undergoing a big transformation. The years go on, the landscapes change, and all along our heroine genuinely grows, as she moves past failures, achieves personal goals, becomes a better friend, and even gets the chance to fall in love. More specifically, there's Internet romance (or obsession? Fine line...), there's a meeting with the right guy at the wrong time, there's long-distance romance turmoil, and there's a life-changing journey to a totally different place. The stories are told in a bold narrative with punchy dialogue, to give this series a little more edge than your typical chicklit books. Throughout the series there's also an underlying tension caused by culture clash, when a strict Indian background brings up totally unpleasant scenarios (pressure to get married, pressure to get an ARRANGED marriage...you get the drift). ---------------------------------- LENGTH: each romantic comedy is a full-length novel of about 74,000 words (or between 280-285 printed pages each) DISCLAIMER: the books contain occasional profanities and mild sexual references

Download or read book Our Dying Our Death Our Grief written by Vincent Dodd and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2024-10-16 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death is a clear-cut objective moment, but the process of dying and the choices we make for our own death and others is a wholly different subject. Not becoming educated on your ability to influence your dying process is leaving that potentially long helpless period to fate. Raw and informative, this book explores the truth and asserts your right to knowledge and your right to say "No” to medical procedures that ultimately only prolong suffering once imminent and inevitable death arrives. What can be done to decrease unnecessary suffering before inevitable death? This suffering is almost always influenced by a fear or lack of acceptance of death. For the most part the healthcare field cannot stop this pain and suffering due to many influences beyond its control, unless you know how to protect yourself. Ultimately, it is up to the patient or their medical guardian to ensure a peaceful and dignified death. It is obvious Vincent cares deeply about your awareness, knowledge, and choices, as well as your control of your body and your own health care. He cares to see your fears of this often dark and taboo subject decreased and hopefully alleviated. His professional and personal caring perspectives come from twenty-one years of bedside emergency and intensive care nursing in teaching hospitals, followed by fourteen more years of advocating for both the dying and the living to pilot their own health care. He takes a look at an otherwise bitterly-avoided subject that we all must face and turns it into a highly informative, easy, and at times even funny to read. There is a sweet icing on this normally hard-to-stomach cake known as dying, death, and grief: the author also has some great input on how not only to stay alive longer, but to feel more alive.
