Download or read book True Grit written by Charles Portis and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2010-11-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestselling classic frontier adventure novel that inspired two award-winning films! Charles Portis has long been acclaimed as one of America’s foremost writers. True Grit, his most famous novel, was first published in 1968, and became the basis for two movies, the 1969 classic starring John Wayne and, in 2010, a new version starring Academy Award® winner Jeff Bridges and written and directed by the Coen brothers. True Grit tells the story of Mattie Ross, who is just fourteen when the coward Tom Chaney shoots her father down in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and robs him of his life, his horse, and $150 in cash. Mattie leaves home to avenge her father’s blood. With one-eyed Rooster Cogburn, the meanest available U.S. Marshal, by her side, Mattie pursues the killer into Indian Territory. True Grit is eccentric, cool, straight, and unflinching, like Mattie herself. From a writer of true status, this is an American classic through and through.

Download or read book Fortitude written by Dan Crenshaw and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jordan Peterson's Twelve Rules for Life meets Jocko Willink and Leif Babin's Extreme Ownership in this tough-love leadership book from a Navy SEAL and rising star in Republican politics. In 2012, on his third tour of duty, an improvised explosive device left Dan Crenshaw's right eye destroyed and his left blinded. Only through the careful hand of his surgeons, and what doctors called a miracle, did Crenshaw's left eye recover partial vision. And yet, he persevered, completing two more deployments. Why? There are certain stories we tell ourselves about the hardships we face—we can become paralyzed by adversity or we can adapt and overcome. We can be fragile or we can find our fortitude. Crenshaw delivers a set of lessons to help you do just that. Most people's everyday challenges aren't as extreme as surviving combat, and yet our society is more fragile than ever: exploding with outrage, drowning in microaggressions, and devolving into divisive mob politics. The American spirit—long characterized by grit and fortitude—is unraveling. We must fix it. That's exactly what Crenshaw accomplishes with Fortitude. This book isn't about the problem, it's about the solution. And that solution begins with each and every one of us. We must all lighten up, toughen up, and begin treating our fellow Americans with respect and grace. Fortitude is a no-nonsense advice book for finding the strength to deal with everything from menial daily frustrations to truly difficult challenges. More than that, it is a roadmap for a more resilient American culture. With meditations on perseverance, failure, and finding much-needed heroes, the book is the antidote for a prevailing "safety culture" of trigger warnings and safe spaces. Interspersed with lessons from history and psychology is Crenshaw's own story of how an average American kid from the Houston suburbs went from war zones to the halls of Congress—and managed to navigate his path with a sense of humor and an even greater sense that, no matter what anyone else around us says or does, we are in control of our own destiny.
Download or read book Fortitude written by Hugh Walpole and published by Fredonia Books (NL). This book was released on 2002-02-01 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When originally published in 1918, it was said "This book sets forth how secret agents of the Teutonic governments acting under orders have attacked our national life, both before and after our declaration of war; how men and women in Germany's employ on American soil, planned and executed bribery, sedition, arson, the destruction of property and even murder, not to mention lesser violations of American law;" Fortitude is a romance-a fairytale about a young man who very naively believed in almost everything; one of the author's school stories based on his experiences as a teacher, and an epic account of another young writer in the making. Its opening line acts as a clarion call:"It isn't life that matters, but the courage you bring to it!" Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole (1884-1941) was an English novelist, born in New Zealand, and educated at Cambridge. His first two novels were failures, but with Fortitude (1913) he achieved financial and literary success. In addition to books he wrote short stories, several plays, biographies of Joseph Conrad (1916) and Anthony Trollope (1928), and the screenplay for the film David Copperfield (1934) - in which he also appeared as an actor. He was a prolific writer who became one of the most popular authors on both sides of the Atlantic, admired by the public and the critics alike. The dust-wrappers of his books are littered with critical accolades that would be the envy of today's leading novelists. In addition, he was an excellent public speaker and his series of lecture tours in the States during the 1920s and 30s were the most popular since those of Dickens eighty years earlier.

This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fourth book about my life with Alzheimer's. I have written these books to encourage people get the diagnosis made early in the course of the disease. My first neurologist asked me, "What difference does it make?" My diagnosis was made in December 2017, and I think it made all the difference in the world. In the year 1 book, I wrote about getting the diagnosis. In the year 2 book, I wrote about traveling with Alzheimer's. In the year 3 book, I write about making a transition to more alternate medicine. The present year, the fourth book, I write about maintaining a good cognitive state without much deterioration. I believe each year is different and much more than just a diary. As a physician, I showed my long journey in educating myself and opening myself to new ideas. I hope this gives people with the diagnosis of Alzheimer's hope and shows them different possibilities of approaching their diagnosis. Next, I will write year 5 of my saga.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her book, Put Comfortable Shoes in my Coffin, Jennifer McCloskey, and her mother and writing partner, Mary Rey Girardi, share a treasure trove of small stories with huge heart. Jen has been a motivational speaker and trainer across the country since 1986 and she created this book as a reminder of the numerous heroes surrounding us. "I have always been surprised by the number of books sold that only depict pain and heartache. I wanted my children to read real stories about people who succeed through trying times, and how they mastered the art of obtaining resources, embracing teamwork, and garnering inner strength, while working toward a greater good, something greater than themselves." We all have living legends, currently surrounding us. We don't need to look only to the famous or the wealthy as our models of strength, but we can observe inner strength through our daily interactions, even in our own households, maybe in the next room. If we can't see them, all we need to do is open our eyes a little wider. This book lifts the spirits of the reader and brings more positivity and hope to the world. Jennifer is available to speak at civic organizations, schools, and corporate events to discuss ways we can all be heroes in our daily lives and how to recognize our own personal heroes every day.
