The Thank You Economy isn’t some abstract concept or wacky business strategy… and the enhanced edition isn’t just the book – here Gary comes face to face with the reader with exciting video and audio — it’s the way we buy and sell, the way we’re interacting on all levels, at this exact moment. The way our marketplace functions has been evolving right before our eyes, changing into one that places heavy value on social interaction, which means the individuals and brands that “out-care” and “out-love” their competition will see the biggest returns. The businesses harnessing the word-of-mouth power coming from social media, those that can shift their culture to be more customer-aware and fan-friendly, will pull away from the pack and profit in today’s markets. Gary Vaynerchuk will lay out the thoughts, beliefs, and case studies that support this enormous change, covering everything from the consumer to the CEO while focusing on the connections in between.

Genre(s): Health Fitness & Dieting, Diets & Weight Loss, Weight Loss, Diets, Healthy, Weight Maintenance
T his book isn’t about the latest celebrity diet, wonder food, or miracle supplement. It’s about creating a personalized weight loss plan–your own easiest path to naturally thin.

This book provides a science-based approach for making those changes in a way that works best for you, without wasting time, money, or effort.
Dr. Spencer explains why we gain weight and why the fat lost by dieting almost always comes back. He then presents an array of practical weight loss tools for controlling emotional eating, calming cravings, boosting metabolism, and improving nutrition and exercise. In the final chapter he has you create a natural weight loss plan based on your unique set of needs, abilities, and preferences. Simple recipes are provided for weight loss foods that reduce cravings and prolong satisfaction.
What this book offers is a solid approach to weight loss–self-directed, gradual, and lasting–in contrast to the quick but fleeting weight loss offered by most one-size-fits-all diet plans.

Genre(s): Business & Investing, Job Hunting & Careers, Guides, Organizational Behavior, Workplace, Careers
P rotect Yourself – and Your Job. A one-of-a-kind corporate survival guide based on the combined wisdom of 102 people with real jobs
Suzen Fromstein has created the ultimate corporate survival guide for any person starting out or in transition. The survival strategies identified in Suits and Ladders: Ten Proven Ways to Keep Your Job Safe (with a few jokes thrown in) are universal and transcend national borders, industries and genders.
These are the same strategies 102 real people with real jobs use to keep their corporate jobs safe. Following their lead gives you a better chance of survival, or at least, gives you a fighting chance at survival. Whether you work in Canada or France, in financial services or for a not-for-profit there are ten things you can do right now to stabilize your cash flow, improve your professional outcomes and keep your job safe.
In her foreword, Barbara Morris-Blake who has interviewed and coached over 10,000 junior-to-senior level people over the past twenty years and whose articles on leadership development and personal effectiveness frequently appear in the media says, “Although there are many credible business books on corporate survival, I have not come across a book quite like Suits and Ladders…(it) is the exit interview and the corporate survival coach you wish you had.”
You will discover:
• Your boss’s career is the only thing that really matters.
• What you learned yesterday may not apply to today.
• What you say and do, can and will be used against you.
• Real people are far more interesting than the voices in your head.

Learning To Talk Bear by Roland Cheek
Genre(s): Science & Math, Nature & Ecology, Conservation, Endangered Species, Environment
R oland Cheek began life in Montana by panting after a grizzly bear rug to lay in front of his fireplace. What he received was an education about a wild animal that seized his heart, stole his head, and wormed deep into his imagination. As his outdoors learning curve advanced, grizzly bears topped the list; but it was a winding road from first grizzly sighting in 1965 until first printing of his book, Learning To Talk Bear, the 35-year roadmap from total ignorance to at least a small measure of understanding and inspiration. Below, read what the guy thinks of the Great Bears today:
God’s music is wind soughing through treetops, dove wings whispering at waterholes, the mournful cry of a lost-in-the-fog honker. It’s a harmony that became addictive, and carries even into my dotage. Elk music took me to the dance. Bears–particularly grizzly bears–keep me dancing.
Grizzlies, you see, are the Marine Band of the animal world. They swagger with the calm indifference of an animal who knows they have nothing left to prove. So why does this John Philip Sousa of wildlife resonance–an animal who not only fears not, but cares not–receive such a bum rap from the planet’s most fearsome other creatures–us?
Good question; not all grizzly bears are Jack-the-Rippers in fur coats.
One cannot read Roland Cheek’s above take on grizzly bears and doubt the guy’s sincerity. But one should realize he’s not alone:
Your book Learning To Talk Bear is the best book I have ever read, and prepared me for my first grizzly sighting.
Susan Bearer email
Learning To Talk Bear, by Roland Cheek is a must read for anyone interested in the current state of affair of the American grizzly. Cheek combines his vast outdoor experience as an outfitter in Montana with solid research to provide a thoroughly readable and enjoyable book. It reminded me of two other books, John McPhee’s Coming Into the Country about Alaska, and Sebastian Junger’s Perfect Storm. I read Learning To Talk Bear while vacationing in Yellowstone and felt much more in tune while in the backyard of Ursus arctos horribilis.
Franklin Marchman in an amazon.com review
Mark Henckel wrting in the Billings Gazette said: New book paints perfect portrait of grizzlies.
And Bob Mottram, said in Tacoma’s The News Tribune: Cheek is at his best when he’s describing bears in action, and at his best, he’s excellent.
I bought this book [Learning To Talk Bear] because I desire a knowledge of bears, their life, their existence. Reading this book has opened by eyes to more than I ever thought there was to learn. I even bought a map so that I could see the areas he describes. If all books about grizzlies and bears are this enjoyable, I have a lot of reading to do.
An amazon.com five star (*****) review, from Elizabethtown, PA
I just finished reading Learning To Talk Bear and Chocolate Legs. What a wonderful way to spend a few days off. Perhaps we should issue the works of Mike Malone and Roland Cheek to potential tourists before they come to visit.
Mark Barrett in an email
I’ve just finished reading Learning To Talk Bear for the second time from cover to cover, and wish to congratulate you for trying to “wake up” America. It’s a wonderful book; I read every page with interest intensified by the proposal to try and reintroduce the bears into this part of the country.
Letter from Hugo Eskildson / Sula, MT
I just finished Learning To Talk Bear this afternoon. I just wanted to write and share how excited I was about the book. Of course I learned a lot about bears from the book, but it was so much more than just a documentary. It was a love story between Roland and bears, but it also told a little part of your own personal love story. I was so moved!
Letter from Cherol Fryberg / Marysville, WA
Odds are good, if you like Learning To Talk Bear, you’ll also like Chocolate Legs, an entire book about a single distinctively marked Glacier Park grizzly bear who made the New York Times and wire service

Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs, Leaders & Notable People, Presidents & Heads of State, Specific Groups, Women, History, Americas, United States, 19th Century, Politics & Social Sciences, Women’s Studies, Self-Help, Health Fitness & Dieting, Recovery, Drug Dependency
M ary Todd Lincoln, wife of the president we have immortalized, has always been difficult for us to understand. She could appear poised and brilliant one moment, yet rude and ugly the next. Sometimes competent and strong, able to entertain dignitaries from around the world, at other times she appeared dependent and weak. At times she seemed utterly beside herself with sobbing and screaming.
Historians have mostly avoided saying very much about Mary Todd Lincoln except in reference to her husband, Abraham. To many it would seem that Mary Todd Lincoln is still an embarrassment in the tragic story of her martyred husband. But Mary Todd Lincoln lived her own tragic story even before Abraham was murdered. She was an addict, addicted to the opiates she needed for her migraine headaches.
Seeing Mary Todd Lincoln as an addict helps us understand her and give her the compassion and admiration she deserves. In her time there had been no courageous First Lady like Betty Ford to help people understand the power of addiction. There was no treatment center. In Mary Todd Lincoln’s time there were many addicts at all levels of society, as there are now, but it was a more socially acceptable condition for men to have than for women. More importantly, addiction was not very well understood, and it was often mistreated.
Because Mary Todd Lincoln’s only surviving son, Robert Lincoln, made a great effort to protect his mother and his family from journalists and historians, he intentionally destroyed most of Mary Todd Lincoln’s medical records and many of her letters. What he could not destroy, however, is the record of Mary Todd Lincoln’s pain and the record of how she behaved while living with this pain.
In The Addiction of Mary Todd Lincoln, we can see clearly, for the first time, what Mary Todd Lincoln had to live with and the courage it took for her to carry on.

Calling Dr. Einstein (The Adventures of Mr. Tompkins) by Igor Gamow
Genre(s): Comics & Graphic Novels, Graphic Novels, Education & Reference, Science & Math, Science for Kids, Literary, Education
I n this wildly entertaining and informative comic book, our hero, Mr. Tompkins meets Albert Einstein and explores such mysteries as gravity and the speed of light. Here’s a chance to learn something and have fun while you’re at it.
“The Adventures of Mr. Tompkins” is based on the popular “Mr. Tompkins” book series by the legendary scientist and author, George Gamow. Gamow’ s breadth of knowledge was astounding. He originated the Big Bang theory of the Universe, did groundbreaking work on radioactivity and helped decipher the genetic code. Now, renowned inventor and scientist, R. Igor Gamow has teamed up with talented comic book illustrator, Scorpio Steele, to bring Mr. Tompkins to life in a comic book series.
Along with Isaac Asimov, Gamow is regarded as one of the greatest science popularizers of all time. He wrote books on how the atom works; radioactivity; electromagnetism; the nature of light; and how scientists understand space, time, and motion. However, he’s best known for his classic series of books featuring the lovable character, Mr. Tompkins.
“The idea of this comic book is brilliant. Daunting topics, such as the theory of relativity, nuclear fission, and radioactivity, are presented here in a form that speaks to and entertains a very general audience. The author even uses analogies that help readers relate to very abstract concepts”.
– Catherine Thureson, Clarion Book Reviews
“By his ingenuity and narrative skills, Gamow is able to transform the puzzling and obscure mysteries of physics into magical and enthralling stories. It was Mr. Tompkins who made the new physics vivid and real for me as a child and I am sure that he will continue to do the same for a great many others.”

Michael works in an office and is mourning the loss of his five-year-old daughter, Milly.

The Contract of Love by José Chaves
Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs, Ethnic & National, Self-Help, Health Fitness & Dieting, Recovery, Drug Dependency
A birthday party is one of the few occasions when our father might come to visit, but you can’t count on it. “Guess what kids?” Mom says, trying to cheer my sister up as she dishes up dark brown squares of cake laced with shreds of carrot that look like little worms: “This cake contains absolutely no refined sugar. Instead, I used frozen orange juice concentrate!”
This is when we hear the sound of Latin music coming up the street like an ice cream truck. My sister’s eyes light up as she yells, “Papoo!” and runs out the door. I see our father’s Volvo pulling into the gravel driveway, his tires making the sound of popcorn popping. He’s pulling some kind of silver trailer with a shaggy grey pony in it that looks wild-eyed and is trying to escape.
“Oh Christ,” Grandpa Joe says, getting up to investigate. “What the hell’s he done now?”
* * *
Growing up with a Colombian father for whom magical realism was a way of life made ordinary reality feel like an immigrant experience for author Jose Chaves, who was born in the U.S. but–as his father would insist–”made in Colombia!”
That experience comes alive like a movie on the page in The Contract of Love, a memoir about family that is both hilarious and heartbreaking. Chaves’ straightforward style turns the familiar exotic and makes the unfamiliar feel like home as he takes readers on a cultural journey from small-town, muscle-car America to the Chaves family farm in Colombia, where the cow is named Lyndon Johnson, and an emotional journey from his father’s volatile world where unrequited love is sung out loud in restaurants, to a fraternity where the most important rule is to never reveal your feelings to another guy in public.
With tenderness, humor, and hypnotic clarity, Chaves explores the landscape of love that holds us together, beyond the addictions that bind us–from the broken faith that sends a boy spiraling down, to the grace that finds the man.

T his is Linda Tucker’s firsthand account of her journey into the mysteries of the most sacred animal on the African continent: the legendary White Lion. This book reveals the knowledge and ceremonies of Old Africa and the overwhelming love that has driven her every action to save these magnificent beasts, against formidable odds…After being rescued from a life-threatening encounter with lions in the Timbavati game region by a medicine woman known as the “Lion Queen,” Linda embarked on a journey into the mysteries of the White Lion. It is a mystical journey into the knowledge and ceremonies of Old Africa, in which humans and lions are able to cross the species barrier–in accordance with the most guarded secrets of Ancient Egypt and humankind’s greatest riddle, the sphinx. Scientists in our day have established that humankind’s most significant evolutionary leap occurred as a result of our ancestors’ interaction with great cats. The White Lion is a genetic rarity of Panthera leo, and occurred in just one region on earth: Timbavati. Today White Lions form the center of the notorious “canned” trophy hunting industry–hand-reared captive lions, shot in enclosures for gross sums of money. By contrast, shamans believe that killing a “lion sun god” is the ultimate sacrilege. How the human species treats such precious symbols of God in nature may determine how nature treats the human species. Whether we view them as prophetic “Lions of God” or simply as rare genetic mutations, the story of the White Lions is a true legend unfolding in our own extraordinary times.

Seeking justice for one friend and exoneration for another, Pavlicek threatens to uncover a group of domestic terrorists with a chilling agenda.

A nyone alive in the eighteenth century would have known that “the longitude problem” was the thorniest scientific dilemma of the day-and had been for centuries. Lacking the ability to measure their longitude, sailors throughout the great ages of exploration had been literally lost at sea as soon as they lost sight of land. Thousands of lives, and the increasing fortunes of nations, hung on a resolution. The scientific establishment of Europe-from Galileo to Sir Isaac Newton-had mapped the heavens in both hemispheres in its certain pursuit of a celestial answer. In stark contrast, one man, John Harrison, dared to imagine a mechanical solution-a clock that would keep precise time at sea, something no clock had ever been able to do on land. Longitude is the dramatic human story of an epic scientific quest, and of Harrison’s forty-year obsession with building his perfect timekeeper, known today as the chronometer. Full of heroism and chicanery, it is also a fascinating brief history of astronomy, navigation, and clockmaking, and opens a new window on our world.

The only thing missing is the main attraction – which Shaw soon finds in Shark, the world’s only Great White pool-playing shark to be exact.
Shaw envisions the show’s tagline as “Come One – Come All To See – The Only Great White Shark In Captivity” but soon learns that capturing the world’s top predator and delivering him to Vegas is easier said than done. This daunting task will require the cruel tactics of the evil animal slave trading hyena, Old Jack. The heartbreaking plans they devise and innocent pawns they use to try to coerce Shark’s allegiance will force all to rely on primitive instincts to survive.

A fter several decades of looking for true love and never finding it, aging model and lingerie designer, Alexa Ranger, has finally given up the search. A couple years ago, she got tired of the game completely and just stopped dating. Now friends and family keep her mostly content, so it’s shocking at 50 yrs old to find herself suddenly wanting a sex life again. It’s even more shocking to be attracted to a much younger man this time. She definitely thinks medically retired Marine, Casey Carter is sexy, but can’t get passed their twelve year age difference to even consider a fling. Not that it matters anyway, anything resembling a normal dating relationship is totally out of the question because Casey is related to and living with her daughter’s boyfriend. The very last thing Alexa needs is yet another talk-show worthy drama in her already complicated life, no matter how amazing Casey’s kisses make her feel.

B rief Synopsis
CONNECTED is a speculative fiction thriller with touches of science and philosophy, which reached No.1 in Amazon UK’s Bestseller lists for both Thrillers and Science Fiction within 5 days of release.
Beginning with the funeral of a renowned classical violinist in a sleepy rural hamlet in the Lake District, a former theoretical physicist tries to make sense of his brother’s suicide. Across the country, a university student, enjoying the unexpected attentions of an enigmatic seductress, is disturbed when his best friend falls to his death from the thirteenth floor of a neighbouring campus tower block.
As each tries to unravel the mystery behind the apparent suicides, they are drawn into an obsessive search for a computer-generated fractal video sequence, with startling effects on human consciousness, and which might just pave the way for discovery of the ultimate Theory of Everything.
However, they are not the only ones to have seen the potential of this mind-altering video, and soon find themselves in a desperate race against time with gangsters from the shadowy worlds of sex, drugs, cyber-crime, and massively multi-player on-line gaming.
Science Content
Although, as the reviews testify, CONNECTED has been enjoyed by many with no background in computer science, Mandelbrot Fractal geometry, string theory, quantum physics or brain science, those with some interest or knowledge in these areas seem to have particularly enjoyed the book.
One reason for this appears to be that most of these references are actually based on fact. Of course, some readers have preferred to skim these sections, and claim that this did not detract from the story. Others have appreciated the scientific detail and fidelity, and some have even thanked the author for explaining such things in a way that enabled them to learn something new.
Philosophy, Science and Religion
Although CONNECTED is mostly enjoyed as a fast-paced mystery thriller, it is also, to a limited extent, about the inevitable conflict between science and religion. The two main male protagonists happen to be atheist, and some of the dialogue explores the different thoughts and attitudes concerning some of life’s deeper questions. These include the origins of the universe, the nature of consciousness, and whether there could be life after death. Again these philosophical references to faith and atheism are few, and mostly quite short, but all are crucial to the story.
Setting and slang
CONNECTED is a contemporary novel, set entirely in England. As the story unfolds through two converging plot threads, the action switches between a fictitious village in the Lake District, the University of Essex in Colchester (an old Roman town about 60 miles north-east of London), Bracknell (a newer suburban town some 40 miles west of London), and North London.
Consequently, there is some British slang and occasional use of bad language (e.g. a few instances of the F-word etc.) in keeping with the age and background of the characters.
Why Connected?
Years ago, while the author was at university, a fellow student had a breakdown and was admitted to the local psychiatric hospital. A few, who knew him well, went to visit and reported that he’d subsequently lost the plot and was gabbling incomprehensibly of having found the answer to life, the universe and everything.
While most people seemed consumed with sadness and pity at this, the author’s first thought was, “What if he really had discovered some universal truth?” Although never seriously believing that he had, it was on that day that the seed of an idea lodged in his young brain – a seed that years later would germinate into the drafting of the first three chapters of CONNECTED from a cabin in the French Alps.

Kick Menstrual Cramps in the Nuts by T.C. Hale
Genre(s): Health Fitness & Dieting, Nutrition, Women’s Health, General, Personal Health
K ICK MENSTRUAL CRAMPS IN THE NUTS is brought to you by touring comedian turned natural health expert, T.C. Hale (aka Tony Hale). Not only will Hale have you laughing out loud while he reveals the secrets behind cramps and how the human body functions, you will also learn how to look at your own body chemistry to understand the underlying cause of YOUR menstrual cramps. Since the reason cramps can exist varies from person to person, once you understand what is going on with your chemistry, this book will help you understand what foods, supplements, or lifestyle changes could eliminate your desire to scream at inanimate objects once a month.
If you are easily offended or if laughing is too painful while you’re cramping, you can read the more straightforward version of this book, DONE WITH MENSTRUAL CRAMPS. Both versions will teach the same science and the same secrets. In this version, the author just gets to crack himself up.
Here’s what some of Tony’s celebrity clients have to say:
“Working
with Tony is like jumping into the arms of your favorite aunt. Except
it’s not. At all. I mean, his methods work. But it’s not like that at
all.”
– Jane Lynch – Glee
“I
confess to being a full-blown ‘gymophobe.’ (I still have flashbacks of
my mean fourth-grade gym teacher!) Tony actually makes the gym
panic-attack free.”
– Tom Kenny – Voice of Spongebob
“Wait.
You mean the short skinny trainer dude with the neon sneakers who
writes books about women’s menstrual cramps? Did he ever get a single
menstrual cramp? I don’t think so. The guy who helps fat people get
skinnier? Was he ever fat ? I don’t think so. And what’s with the
whole fake I don’t talk thing? Is it turrets? If he did talk, would it
be a string of expletives even I would be offended by? I guess he has
a sense of humor. That’s something good.”
– Betty Thomas – Director – 28 Days, The Brady Bunch Movie, etc.

Opening Day: The Story of Jackie Robinson’s First Season (No Series) by Jonathan Eig

A pril 15, 1947, marked the most important opening day in baseball history. When Jackie Robinson stepped onto the diamond that afternoon at Ebbets Field, he became the first black man to break into major-league baseball in the twentieth century. World War II had just ended. Democracy had triumphed. Now Americans were beginning to press for justice on the home front — and Robinson had a chance to lead the way. He was an unlikely hero. He had little experience in organized baseball. His swing was far from graceful. And he was assigned to play first base, a position he had never tried before that season. But the biggest concern was his temper. Robinson was an angry man who played an aggressive style of ball. In order to succeed he would have to control himself in the face of what promised to be a brutal assault by opponents of integration. In Opening Day, Jonathan Eig tells the true story behind the national pastime’s most sacred myth. Along the way he offers new insights into events of sixty years ago and punctures some familiar legends. Was it true that the St. Louis Cardinals plotted to boycott their first home game against the Brooklyn Dodgers? Was Pee Wee Reese really Robinson’s closest ally on the team? Was Dixie Walker his greatest foe? How did Robinson handle the extraordinary stress of being the only black man in baseball and still manage to perform so well on the field? Opening Day is also the story of a team of underdogs that came together against tremendous odds to capture the pennant. Facing the powerful New York Yankees, Robinson and the Dodgers battled to the seventh game in one of the most thrilling World Series competitions of all time. Drawing on interviews with surviving players, sportswriters, and eyewitnesses, as well as newly discovered material from archives around the country, Jonathan Eig presents a fresh portrait of a ferocious competitor who embodied integration’s promise and helped launch the modern civil-rights era. Full of new details and thrilling action, Opening Day brings to life baseball’s ultimate story.

And They Called Her Spider (The Bartleby and James Adventures) by Michael Coorlim
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Mystery, Historical, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Science Fiction, Adventure, Series, Military, Steampunk
G alvanic Century is set in an alternate steampunk world where the reign of Queen Victoria has extended well into the early 20th century. As the world edges inexorably towards a World War that few can even begin to anticipate, brave men and women must contend with airship pirates, clockwork assassins, galvanic monsters,and anarchist madmen.
In their debut adventure, London is in the grip of an unstoppable assassin known only as the Spider, and consulting detectives James Wainwright and Alton Bartleby have been commissioned to catch her.
Can the surly inventor and savvy gentleman track her down and stop her string of murders, or will Queen Victoria be her next victim?
Excerpt:
A streak of red and black fell from the bell tower above before I could climb into the room, breaking my grip on the ladder and sending me crashing down to the chapel below. Sharp knees dug into my abdomen as a rain of powerful fists fell upon my brow, each blow knocking my skull back against the chapel’s wooden floor. I managed to get a forearm up to guard my face in time to see a girl— the Spider, a slight thing dressed in a red and black Jester’s motley— spring back from her kneeling position atop my torso. My face felt raw and numb from her vicious attack, and my lower back screamed as I scrambled back into a half-standing crouch.
The girl’s leap away took her towards the wall beyond the ladder. Her legs folded again as she hit the wall, whatever purchase she managed there sufficing to spring off and away at an angle that carried her past the shocked Bartleby and towards the narrow window. It was thin– too thin for even the slender girl that had attacked me– but somehow she slipped through it effortlessly, and was gone into the night.
Bartleby ran to my side. “Oh god, James, are you alright?”
“Don’t worry about me, go after her!” The fingers I put to my face came away red and sticky. She’d split my lip at the very least, and it felt as though one of my eyes was swelling shut.

Wanting to make her mark as a female detective she attends a suspicious death with her new boss; straight talking, no nonsense Detective Inspector John Meredith. Within days the body count begins to rise, as victims old and new are discovered to have died in the same way. Some could say the victims were merely party to assisted suicide, others may call it euthanasia, and many believe that either way it shouldn’t be classed as a crime; but when it becomes evident that some of the victims were forced to accept a lethal injection, DI Meredith launches a major murder investigation which covers a period of over twenty years.
As more victims are discovered, and the investigation gathers pace, someone takes an unhealthy interest in Patsy. Their motive moves from irritating to sinister when her life is threatened. But just how serious is that threat? Despite being surrounded by police officers the case takes precedent, and Patsy even considers using the services of a private detective, who just happens to be friend and former boss of John Meredith.

A 25-year-old backcountry wanderer, a man happiest exploring wild places with his dog, Dan Bigley woke up one midsummer morning to a day full of promise. Before it was over, after a stellar day of salmon fishing along Alaska’s Kenai and Russian rivers, a grizzly came tearing around a corner in the trail. Dan barely had time for “bear charging” to register before it had him on the ground, altering his life forever.
“Upper nose, eyes, forehead anatomy unrecognizable,” as the medevac report put it.
Until then, one thing after another had fallen into place in Dan’s life. He had a job he loved taking troubled kids on outdoor excursions. He had just bought a cabin high in the Chugach Mountains with a view that went on forever. He was newly in love. After a year of being intrigued by a woman named Amber, they had just spent their first night together. All of this was shattered by the mauling that nearly killed him, that left him blind and disfigured.
Facing paralyzing pain and inconceivable loss, Dan was in no shape to be in a relationship. He and Amber let each other go. Five surgeries later, partway into his long healing journey, they found their way back to each other. The couple’s unforgettable story is one of courage, tenacious will, and the power of love to lead the way out of darkness. Dan Bigley’s triumph over tragedy is a testament to the ability of the human spirit to overcome physical and emotional devastation, to choose not just to live, but to live fully.

As you read this, take a moment to pontificate about your life, what are some of the lessons you wish the generation that preceded you had left behind in a diary that you could access anytime you needed advice in a non-judgmental way?
As you think about that, also think about the lessons you hope to pass on to the generation succeeding you?
Lessons from Generation X to Generation Next is a compilation of over 3,000 anecdotes that describe some of the lessons the author has learned throughout her life. The book is divided into 10 categories: family, parents,
education, career, health, finances, relationships, pop culture, life, and spirituality.
The book offers real-life guidance to people of all ages that will greatly improve the quality of life for anyone who reads it and perhaps generations to come.
It is not only wise to learn from our mistakes but generationally advantageous to share what we have learned with those who might be heading down the path we are all too familiar with. Eleanor Roosevelt suggested that we won’t live long enough to make them all ourselves and realistically why would we want to?
There are few guarantees in life, but one of the most sobering is that one day we will die, and even though death might capture our bodies, our spirits will forever be liberated in the lessons we pass on from one generation to the next.
