Download or read book My Dad and Me written by Larry King and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yogi Berra’s dad, an immigrant from northern Italy, didn’t see the point of American sports, but taught Yogi to keep his word and always be on time. Mario Cuomo’s father seemed diminutive (“Maybe he was five foot six if his heels were not worn”), but he once led Mario and his brother in a herculean, nearly impossible effort to hoist and replant a downed 40-foot-tall blue spruce. C. Everett Koop’s dad imparted to his son the crucial difference between buying something and affording something. And from her famous father, Danny, Marlo Thomas learned the wisdom of forgiveness when he told her, “I do not hunch my back with yesterday.” For My Dad and Me, Larry King asked more than 120 celebrated and successful people about their favorite memories of their fathers. Their recollections are rich with life lessons, large and small: Some are truly insightful and wise, some are hilarious, some are pragmatic, but each is a genuine reflection of the priceless gift of fatherhood. It’s one thing, after all, to be told about such virtues as honesty and integrity, hard work and perseverance, gentleness and strength. It’s quite another to see them living, or even sometimes faltering, within someone you love. As warm and funny, reassuring and surprising as dads themselves, My Dad and Me not only celebrates fatherhood but also offers some candid glimpses behind the public images of well-known men and women from Donald Trump and President George H.W. Bush to Patricia Heaton and Bill Gates. Larry King presents a moving and revealing collection of inspirational stories about fathers—and the life lessons they teach—from a host of famous men and women, including: Chinua Achebe, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Helen Gurley Brown, President George H. W. Bush, Bob Costas, Alan Dershowitz, Phyllis Diller, Hugh Downs, Bill Gates, Ira Glass, Derek Jeter, Randy Johnson, Don Mattingly, Kevin Nealon, Kurt Russell, Bob Saget, Ryan Seacrest, Marlo Thomas, Alex Trebek, Donald Trump, Al Yankovic, And many more . . .

Download or read book Lightning Can Strike Twice written by Tommy Fury and published by Sphere. This book was released on 2024-10-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his first book professional boxer and social media star, Tommy Fury, reveals what life is like juggling his many identities: boxing champion, TV star, mental health advocate, and father, and navigating the most difficult period of his life in August 2024. "Since writing this book, some things have changed for me. In the last couple of weeks, I have felt like my voice has been taken away from me. I am really proud of my book and I wanted to give it as current an ending as it is possible. We were able to delay the first print run because I do have something to add and where better than here, a place where I can speak freely and feel safe." When Tommy Fury realised as a young boy that he wanted to become a boxer, the odds were stacked against him. His father was sent to prison when Tommy was only nine, casting his family life into chaos. He couldn't afford a bus ticket to the gym to train, so he'd have to walk three hours instead. When he got there, everyone wanted to fight him - guys much older than him and twice his size - to say they could beat a Fury. In Lightning Can Strike Twice, Tommy Fury opens up about his incredible story - defying pressure and triumphing regardless of the weight of expectation on his shoulders - and the many sides to his life. He shares unfiltered stories about his experience on Love Island, candid insight into his life with Molly-Mae and as a father to their daughter Bambi, and a glimpse behind the scenes of what life is like as part of the UK's most popular family - including never-before-seen personal photos. Tommy Fury wasn't supposed to succeed. How could another champion come out of the family that had already produced Tyson Fury? In this open, honest memoir, Tommy shows that lightning can strike twice and that there's more to being a Fury than knowing how to fight.
