Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A precisely crafted and bracingly honest” memoir of war and its aftershocks from the New York Times–bestselling author of Matterhorn (The Atlantic). In 1968, at the age of twenty-three, Karl Marlantes was dropped into the highland jungle of Vietnam, an inexperienced lieutenant in command of forty Marines who would live or die by his decisions. In his thirteen-month tour he saw intense combat, killing the enemy and watching friends die. Marlantes survived, but like many of his brothers in arms, he has spent the last forty years dealing with his experiences. In What It Is Like to Go to War, Marlantes takes a candid look at these experiences and critically examines how we might better prepare young soldiers for war. In the past, warriors were prepared for battle by ritual, religion, and literature—which also helped bring them home. While contemplating ancient works from Homer to the Mahabharata, Marlantes writes of the daily contradictions modern warriors are subject to, of being haunted by the face of a young North Vietnamese soldier he killed at close quarters, and of how he finally found a way to make peace with his past. Through it all, he demonstrates just how poorly prepared our nineteen-year-old warriors are for the psychological and spiritual aspects of the journey. In this memoir, the New York Times–bestselling author of Matterhorn offers “a well-crafted and forcefully argued work that contains fresh and important insights into what it’s like to be in a war and what it does to the human psyche” (The Washington Post).

Book excerpt: It was 6 p.m. when the Devil walked into my office and had a seat. Bounty hunter Victor McCain always wondered how his brother, Mikey, went from down-n-out loser to one of Louisville's richest men. Now he knew: his brother sold his soul to the Devil. And in twenty-four hours, Mikey would die and spend eternity in Hell unless Victor agreed to hunt down a thief, a woman as deadly as she is beautiful. On a journey of murder and betrayal, Victor must now put his own soul at risk to save his only brother, battle a dark underground organization with the goal of nothing less than global war between Christians and Muslims, and fight creatures from man's darkest nightmares. Then there's the Hand of God, God's own bounty hunter. In the end, will he be friend or enemy? Only Heaven knows.

Book excerpt: Discover Why Men Come on Strong Then Suddenly Lose Interest If you are currently dating, at some point you''ve probably been blindsided and left utterly frustrated after a great guy suddenly lost interest in you even though he seemed so passionate in the beginning. Maybe you''ve been completely heartbroken after a long-term boyfriend suddenly started pulling away from you. Sadly, as unfortunate as these dating situations are, when they do occur, most women tend to act in counterproductive ways that only end up pushing their guy even further away, maybe even for good. What to Do When Men Pull Away, Become Distant, or Try to Ignore You No woman can change the reality that any man, no matter how interested or invested he may first appear, can potentially pull away and lose interest in her at some point. Although this is the reality, a woman can, in fact, change the way she deals with such situations. While you might not be able to control a man''s behavior, you can control your own. Being in control of your emotions, especially when a man''s behavior threatens your future with him, will make it easier for you to influence his heart and make him see you as an irreplaceable, high-value woman. But in order to effectively influence a man''s heart, a woman must possess a deep understanding of how men think - why they lose interest and what scares them away from a blossoming relationship. How to Finally Understand Men and Never Be Confused by Their Behavior Again The thing is, a woman can astronomically increase her chances of dating success by doing one simple thing: understanding men. Rather than responding in desperation and frantic fretting, when a woman truly understands male dating behavior, she becomes far more confident and capable in dealing with men whenever they pull away or attempt to ghost her. Fortunately, in, Never Get Ghosted Again, you''re going to get an inside look into how men think when it comes to women and dating. In this fun and insightful dating book for women, you will discover the secret reasons why men suddenly lose interest, what causes men to fall in (and out of) love with a woman, and how to prevent that special guy from disappearing on you.

The seven things that make a man feel as if he''s "just not ready" for a SERIOUS relationship with a GREAT woman. What to do (and what NOT to do) when the man you desire suddenly starts losing interest in you. The six man-repelling behaviors that SCARE men away on a first date. (Hint: You''ll finally understand why many guys QUICKLY lose interest in highly educated, smart, and successful women.)

Download or read book How to Be Everything written by Emilie Wapnick and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you want to be when you grow up? It's a familiar question we're all asked as kids. While seemingly harmless, the question has unintended consequences. It can make you feel like you need to choose one job, one passion, one thing to be about. Guess what? You don't. Having a lot of different interests, projects and curiosities doesn't make you a "jack-of-all-trades, master of none." Your endless curiosity doesn't mean you are broken or flaky. What you are is a multipotentialite: someone with many interests and creative pursuits. And that is actually your biggest strength. How to Be Everything helps you channel your diverse passions and skills to work for you. Based on her popular TED talk, "Why some of us don't have one true calling", Emilie Wapnick flips the script on conventional career advice. Instead of suggesting that you specialize, choose a niche or accumulate 10,000 hours of practice in a single area, Wapnick provides a practical framework for building a sustainable life around ALL of your passions. You'll discover: • Why your multipotentiality is your biggest strength, especially in today's uncertain job market. • How to make a living and structure your work if you have many skills and interests. • How to focus on multiple projects and make progress on all of them. • How to handle common insecurities such as the fear of not being the best, the guilt associated with losing interest in something you used to love and the challenge of explaining "what you do" to others. Not fitting neatly into a box can be a beautiful thing. How to Be Everything teaches you how to design a life, at any age and stage of your career, that allows you to be fully you, and find the kind of work you'll love.

Everything we aspired to for “security,” everything we thought was “safe,” no longer is: College. Employment. Retirement. Government. It's all crumbling down.

New tools and economic forces have emerged to make it possible for individuals to create art, make millions of dollars and change the world without “help.” More and more opportunities are rising out of the ashes of the broken system to generate real inward success (personal happiness and health) and outward success (fulfilling work and wealth). This book will teach you to do just that. With dozens of case studies, interviews and examples–including the author, investor and entrepreneur James Altucher's own heartbreaking and inspiring story–Choose Yourself illuminates your personal path to building a bright, new world out of the wreckage of the old.
