Download or read book Larry s Life Matters written by Jim D. Goodman and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A six-month project that took 30 years: My younger brother Larry disappeared from New Jersey in 1979 and I thought of writing a book about it after we gave up the search the first time a few years later. After several other searches and a renewed confidence in my writing, I embarked on this journey about a month after Larry's birthday in 2016 and decided to sprinkle the fictional discovery of Larry in 1989 with the facts of the real case. I had thought of a donation to a missing persons charity with the profits but a friend suggested offering a reward if a reader's information could help me to find out what happened to him. At age 60, I thought that this would be the last chance to find the brother who ran away from his family much as I did. But my life took, I'm sure, many different turns from his. The twists and turns our lives take in this work of fiction involve many real characters in my life and a few in the afterlife. There are a few historical events and a few hysterical events but it all comes down to the search for Larry be it real or fictional.

Download or read book Your End of Life Matters written by Anne Finkelman Ziff and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your End of Life Matters is offered at a time when people are starting to talk more about end-of-life matters. Based on the author’s own experiences and those of others she’s worked with, the book conveys the value of talking about last wishes long before the end is imminent. With the primary emphasis on how to create a successful end-of-life communication of your own, this book weaves stories, text, writing prompts, humor, and exercises into 12 chapters that include answers to key questions including the who? why?, what?, how?, where?, and when? of a potential conversation. She covers Legacy Documents and other issues that might arise when planning for those final days. Ziff has written a “how-to” communication book for readers of all ages, addressing the need, and recommending methods, to do what her parents did, and what she eventually did as well: To communicate, with someone you know you can trust, what the end-of-life matters are that you will want known both before, and when the time (of your death) comes. Ziff has been on both sides of this vital conversation, first as a Listener, and, more recently, as its Initiator, and she advocates the value of both roles. “Let me tell you,” she admits candidly, “the planning ahead is pretty challenging and time-consuming—cataloging my office data, tax and medical information, photos and writings, to say nothing of books, and of clothing I had saved but not used in decades. But the relief—being able to know the talk was accomplished successfully—that’s remarkable! I’m free now to actively get on exploring my bucket list and living my life!”

Download or read book King Larry written by James D. Scurlock and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Howard Hughes to Mark Zuckerberg, the public has always been fascinated by genius entrepreneurs who succumb to their eccentricities. Now, James Scurlock engages, educates, and entertains readers with the captivating story of DHL cofounder and billionaire Larry Hillblom. King Larry begins with an early biography of Larry Lee Hillblom, a mercurial young man who grew up on a peach farm outside of Fresno, California. Hillblom cofounded DHL in 1969 (three years before FedEx), and it became the fastest-growing corporation in history. Hillblom’s expatriate life began in 1981, when he retreated to a small tax haven in the Western Pacific. There he led the resistance to American meddling in the Marianas Islands. Hillblom’s voracious appetite for underage prostitutes is another facet of his unusual story. In 1995, Hillblom’s amoral, thrill-seeking nature caught up to him when his seaplane disappeared off the coast of Anatahan, leaving behind an estate worth billions. Weeks later, five impoverished women and their attorneys came forward to challenge Hillblom’s will in a legal battle for his fortunes that continues to this day. Meticulously researched and thoroughly engaging, King Larry will satisfy fans of such bestsellers as Confessions of an Economic Hit Manand The Accidental Billionaires .

Book excerpt: “I call this book The Intent to Live because great actors don’t seem to be acting, they seem to be actually living.” –Larry Moss, from the Introduction When Oscar-winning actors Helen Hunt and Hilary Swank accepted their Academy Awards, each credited Larry Moss’s guidance as key to their career-making performances.

Far more than a handbook, The Intent to Live is the personal credo of a master teacher. Moss’s respect for actors and love of the actor’s craft enliven every page, together with examples from a wealth of plays and films, both current and classic, and vivid appreciations of great performances. Whether you act for a living or simply want a deeper understanding of acting greatness, The Intent to Live will move, instruct, and inspire you.
