Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Many Lovers Of Tennis, I Didn't Start Playing The Great Game Of Tennis Until I Was An Adult. I Quickly Started Playing Local Tennis Tournaments & Leagues As It Was The Best Way For a New Player To Get Matches. Despite My Lack Of Experience And Lack Of Proper Technique, I Was Somehow Managing To Find a Way To Win Most Of My Matches Against Better Tennis Players, Some With Better Technique, Some With More Athletic Ability & Some With Simply More Experience. I Was Enjoying The Thrill of Victory, But I Quickly Started Consistently Getting Called A Hacker, Pusher & Dinker ! At First I Didn't Know What Those Terms Meant, But I Could Tell That It Was Not Complimentary. Instead Of My Opponents Congratulating Me On My Victories, I Was Getting Hostile Negative Vibes & Comments From Many Of My Defeated Victims. At First I Thought They Were Simply Sore Losers, Unwilling To Accept The Agony Of Defeat Or Mad Because They Had Lost To A Weaker Tennis Player That They Felt They Should Have Crushed. Many Of My Victims Took Away Some Of My Joy Of Tennis As They Made Me Feel Like A Criminal, An Outcast, A 2nd Class Citizen Or Illegal Alien. I Was Confused And Could Not Understand What I Had Done Wrong As I Had Worked Very Hard For My Much Deserved Victories. I Had Fought As If My Life Depended On Me Needing To Win Every Point. I Then Started To Realize That Most Of My Victims Didn't Like The Way In Which I Had Achieved My Victories As They Didn't Appreciate My Playing Style & Lack Of Proper Form. They Didn't Consider It "Real Tennis". After Over 40 Years Of Playing Tournaments & Leagues I Can't Tell You How Many Times I've Been Called A XXX Hacker, Pusher & Dinker I Finally Had To Accept The Fact That I Was A Dreaded & Disliked: Hacker, Pusher & Dinker ! I Soon Learned That I Was Not The Lone Ranger As There Are Hackers, Pushers & Dinkers Like Me All Over The World Whose Similar Style Of Play Is Held in Contempt And Not Respected. We're Often Called Dogs, I Mean Retrievers Or Backboards As We Don't Like Making Errors Which Makes Us Very Consistent. This Makes Our Opponents Have To Work Very Hard To Get a Point Off One Of Us. They Don't Like That, As They Prefer To Win A Point The Easy Way Or The More Pleasurable Way And Thats By Hitting A Winner Or A Great Shot. They Didn't Seem to Accept The Fact That I Get As Much Credit From Them Making an Error As They Get For Hitting A Winner Or Great Shot. They Also Don't Like The Fact That We Often Hit With No Pace Which Seems to Annoy "Normal Tennis Players". I Finally Got Tired Of The Verbal Abuse & Disrespectful Way In Which Many Of My Victims Were Treating Me, So I Decided To Take Pride In My So Called Abnormal Ugly Style Of Play And To Call Myself The Hacker, Pusher & Dinker From Hell ! I Put That Name On My Tennis Shirt As I Wanted My Opponents To Know Up Front That They Were About To Play Their Worst Nightmare. It Turned Out To Be A Psychological Advantage For Me As It Made Many Of My Opponents Uptight, Apprehensive & Unable To Play Their Best Tennis. Quoting Frank Sinatra's Hit Song They Had To Play "My Way". It Also Made Me Understand Why There Are Upsets In Every Level Of Tennis Because It Proved That Tennis Is Not Just A Technical Or Physical Game, But That Tennis Is Also A Psychological, Emotional & Intellectual Chest Match That Is Often Won By The Mentally Tougher Smarter More Intelligent Tennis Player And Not Always By The Technically Better Or Physically Stronger Tennis Player. That Excuse Used To Amuse & Annoy Me, But It Finally Motivated Me To Write A Book Which Enables Me To Share With My Fellow Lovers Of Tennis, My Real Life On The Court Educational, Entertaining, Humorus, Motivational Experiences, Winning Psychological Techniques, & Strategies That Have Worked For Me And That I Know Will Work For Tennis Players Of Any Age Or Any Playing Levels Despite Any Technical Flaws They Have With their Strokes.

Download or read book The Elephant in the Brain written by Kevin Simler and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human beings are primates, and primates are political animals. Our brains, therefore, are designed not just to hunt and gather, but also to help us get ahead socially, often via deception and self-deception. But while we may be self-interested schemers, we benefit by pretending otherwise. The less we know about our own ugly motives, the better - and thus we don't like to talk or even think about the extent of our selfishness. This is the elephant in the brain. Such an introspective taboo makes it hard for us to think clearly about our nature and the explanations for our behavior. The aim of this book, then, is to confront our hidden motives directly - to track down the darker, unexamined corners of our psyches and blast them with floodlights. Then, once everything is clearly visible, we can work to better understand ourselves: Why do we laugh? Why are artists sexy? Why do we brag about travel? Why do we prefer to speak rather than listen? Our unconscious motives drive more than just our private behavior; they also infect our venerated social institutions such as Art, School, Charity, Medicine, Politics, and Religion. In fact, these institutions are in many ways designed to accommodate our hidden motives, to serve covert agendas alongside their official ones. The existence of big hidden motives can upend the usual political debates, leading one to question the legitimacy of these social institutions, and of standard policies designed to favor or discourage them. You won't see yourself - or the world - the same after confronting the elephant in the brain.
Download or read book After On written by Rob Reid and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive novel of today’s Silicon Valley, After On flash-captures our cultural and technological moment with up-to-the-instant savvy. Matters of privacy and government intrusion, post-Tinder romance, nihilistic terrorism, artificial consciousness, synthetic biology, and much more are tackled with authority and brash playfulness by New York Times bestselling author Rob Reid. Meet Phluttr—a diabolically addictive new social network and a villainess, heroine, enemy, and/or bestie to millions. Phluttr has ingested every fact and message ever sent to, from, and about her innumerable users. Her capabilities astound her makers—and they don’t even know the tenth of it. But what’s the purpose of this stunning creation? Is it a front for something even darker and more powerful than the NSA? A bid to create a trillion-dollar market by becoming “The UberX of Sex”? Or a reckless experiment that could spawn the digital equivalent of a middle-school mean girl with enough charisma, dirt, and cunning to bend the entire planet to her will? Phluttr has it in her to become the greatest gossip, flirt, or matchmaker in history. Or she could cure cancer, bring back Seinfeld, then start a nuclear war. Whatever she does, it’s not up to us. But a motley band of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and engineers might be able to influence her. After On achieves the literary singularity—fusing speculative satire and astonishing reality into a sharp-witted, ferociously believable, IMAX-wide view of our digital age. Praise for After On “Rob Reid’s mind is like no other known thing in the universe, and this book is a truly spectacular way to discover it.”—Chris Anderson, head of TED “An extended philosophy seminar run by a dozen insane Cold War heads-of-station, three millennial COOs and that guy you went to college with who always had the best weed but never did his laundry.”—NPR “An epic cyberthriller peppered with pop-culture references, metadata, and Silicon Valley in-jokes.”—Kirkus Reviews “It’s rare to find a book that combines laugh-out-loud humor and cutting-edge science with profound philosophical speculation. This is that book.”—Analog “[Rob Reid] writes in a humorous and sarcastic style while unveiling a terrifying and frightening scenario that seems all too real.”—Associated Press

Download or read book The Autobiography of Malcolm X written by Malcolm X and published by Penguin Modern Classics. This book was released on 1965 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malcolm X's blazing, legendary autobiography, completed shortly before his assassination in 1965, depicts a remarkable life: a child born into rage and despair, who turned to street-hustling and cocaine in the Harlem ghetto, followed by prison, where he converted to the Black Muslims and honed the energy and brilliance that made him one of the most important political figures of his time - and an icon in ours. It also charts the spiritual journey that took him beyond militancy, and led to his murder, a powerful story of transformation, redemption and betrayal. Vilified by his critics as an anti-white demagogue, Malcolm X gave a voice to unheard African-Americans, bringing them pride, hope and fearlessness, and remains an inspirational and controversial figure today.
