Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s a bitterly cold February in 1961, and Sandy Greenberg lies in a hospital bed in Detroit, newly blind. A junior at Columbia University from a Jewish family that struggled to stay above the poverty line, Sandy had just started to see the world open up to him. Now, instead of his plans for a bright future—Harvard Law and politics—Sandy faces a new reality, one defined by a cane or companion dog, menial work, and a cautious path through life. But that’s not how this story ends. In the depth of his new darkness, Sandy faces a choice—play it “safe” by staying in his native Buffalo or return to Columbia to pursue his dreams. With the loving devotion of his girlfriend (and now wife) Sue and the selflessness of best friends Art Garfunkel and Jerry Speyer, Sandy endures unimaginable adversity while forging a life of exceptional achievement. From his time in the White House working for President Lyndon B. Johnson to his graduate studies at Harvard and Oxford under luminaries such as Archibald Cox, Sir Arthur Goodhart, and Samuel Huntington, and through the guidance of his invaluable mentor David Rockefeller, Sandy fills his life and the lives of those around him with a radiant light of philanthropy, entrepreneurship, art, and innovation.

Book excerpt: For college professors Hollis and Finn Larsson, a simple undercover errand becomes a deadly jaunt across Ireland in this edge-of-your-seat suspense novel from bestselling author Clare O'Donohue It's an easy, twenty-minute job. At least, that's the pitch from Interpol to professors Hollis and Finn Larsson. Going undercover to procure a priceless rare book manuscript means an all-expenses paid trip abroad. A little danger thrown into the mix may even spice up their marriage. Soon after landing in the Emerald Isle, they realize the job is anything but easy. Their contact is a no-show and they're left with fifty thousand euros, a death threat, and some serious questions. Ducking and dodging their way across Ireland, Hollis and Finn must hunt down the priceless manuscript and a missing agent while trying to stay one step ahead of a dangerous and unknown enemy. Praise: "O'Donohue knows her Irish literature and countryside, and weaves them beautifully into an action-filled story."—Sara Paretsky, author of the V.I. Warshawski series "Plenty of thrills and hints at an exciting future for the reluctantly daring duo."—Kirkus Reviews "O'Donohue (the Someday Quilts series) supplies plenty of fun spy business, but the believability and chemistry of Hollis and Finn as a couple, as shown in their witty dialogue, is the main appeal."—Publishers Weekly "The relationship between Hollis and Finn is the hook in this smart debut.

Download or read book Mind Unchained Escaping the Overthinking Trap written by Gaurav Garg and published by Gaurav Garg. This book was released on 2024-08-02 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to " Mind Unchained: Escaping the Overthinking Trap." If you've picked up this book, chances are you're intimately familiar with the labyrinthine corridors of your own mind. Perhaps you've found yourself trapped in thought spirals that rival the complexity of a Rubik's Cube. Or maybe you've perfected the art of turning a molehill of worry into a mountain of anxiety. If so, congratulations! You're in good company. This book is for the overthinkers, the worriers, the what-if enthusiasts, and anyone who's ever lost sleep contemplating the potential ramifications of that slightly awkward thing they said at a party... three years ago. Full disclosure: I'm a card-carrying member of the Overthinkers Anonymous (we meet every Tuesday, unless we overthink it and reschedule). This book is as much a personal journey as it is a guide. Think of me as your slightly neurotic Sherpa on this expedition through the peaks and valleys of the overactive mind. Within these pages, you'll find a blend of science, humor, personal anecdotes, and practical strategies. We'll explore the neuroscience behind overthinking, delve into the art of mindfulness, and even dabble in the philosophy of present living. But don't worry, this isn't some dry academic tome. I promise there are jokes. Some of them are even funny (I think... I've been overthinking it). We'll journey together through topics like: Why your brain loves to play "What If?" on repeat (Spoiler: It thinks it's helping) How to make friends with uncertainty (It's not as scary as it sounds, promise) The art of mental decluttering (Marie Kondo for your mind, if you will) Strategies for taming the wild thought-beasts that roam your consciousness And much more! But here's the real kicker: this book isn't about eliminating overthinking entirely. Let's face it, that's about as likely as convincing a cat to bark. Instead, it's about developing a healthier relationship with your thoughts. It's about learning to dance with your mind rather than being dragged along by it. So, if you're ready to embark on this adventure of self-discovery, mental acrobatics, and occasional dad jokes, then fasten your seatbelt (or don't, I'm not here to tell you how to live your life... or am I overthinking this author-reader relationship?) Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Or in our case, a single thought about taking that step, followed by several hours of contemplating the pros and cons of different walking shoes. Let's begin, shall we?

Download or read book PIPER S Inc 3 DEAD TO RIGHTS written by JOAQUIN DE TORRES and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven years ago, a secret society of exceptionally-trained assassins swept over the nation's criminal landscape like a tsunami on a tiny village. Trained in exotic forms of hand to hand combat, military weaponry, and bleeding edge cyber technology - they hunted down and purged the most corrupt politicians, CEOs, lawyers, judges, priests, televangelists, social icons, police chiefs, and oligarchs with horrific and savage efficiency. No mercy was shown to those who destroyed the everyday citizen; no quarter was given to those who oppressed the innocent. Performing this purge was PIPER'S, Inc., and spearheading the elite corps of PIPER'S, Inc. combatants was Draven Moon, callsign Temujin, a former special forces commander. A one-man army, he led the resistance; he led the assassinations; he led the raids. He was the facilitator of the new emancipation of America. But that was seven years ago. . . Today, Moon is serving multiple life sentences in Attica's super-max prison; the organization's original directors are either dead or retired; and the once invincible combatants of PIPER'S, Inc. are leaderless, unemployed, and scattered. President Ericka Hedlin, a staunch supporter of PIPER'S, Inc., watches helplessly as the nation diverges again towards government and corporate corruption, racism, and police brutality. Without Moon, PIPER'S, Inc. is dormant; without PIPER'S, Inc., America is doomed. But Moon has a plan – an inconceivable and implausible plan. From within his cell, he promises to hunt down every conspiring facilitator and influencer in every government building, every courthouse, every police precinct, every law firm, every corporation, every political district, every racist rally, and in every oligarch's mansion – EVERYONE who has damaged and threatened America in his absence – will be burned alive in the flames of a New Revolution!
