Book Description
A modern dystopian classic that stands alongside 1984 and Brave New World, Ira Levin’s This Perfect Day is a stunningly prescient work of science fiction that asks what it means to remain human in a world increasingly governed by technology and AI. “Chip” (born Li RM35M4419) lives in a future controlled by an all-powerful global supercomputer, UniComp. In this seemingly utopian society, free from war and want, every aspect of human existence is meticulously planned and calibrated for efficiency by Uni, which guides the lives of each member of the Family—the eugenically-merged human race, who share a single language and religion, yet live under constant chemical conditioning and behavioral monitoring—long unaware that their sustenance comes at the expense of all individuality and autonomy. When Chip begins to question Uni’s benevolence, he embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim his true self, and challenge Uni’s rule. Its predictions already proving unnervingly on target, This Perfect Day is a thought-provoking exploration of free will, and of who ultimately holds the reins of power. Levin’s masterful storytelling and vividly imagined world make for an epic tale that’s as unsettling as it is unforgettable.)

Book Description
Among baseball achievements, the perfect game one in which no runners reach base remains the greatest. Though many have come close, only 20 pitchers have achieved such perfection in more than a century of baseball. This exhaustive compendium examines the fascinating story behind every perfect game and uncovers details both great and small, illuminating the majesty of these titanic achievements. The faithfully narrated record of all 20 games punctuated by statistics, trivia, little-known anecdotes, and personal memories from both witnesses and the pitchers themselves gets inside the minds of the players who made baseball history. In addition to profiling some of the game s greatest pitchers, such as Cy Young, Sandy Koufax, and Randy Johnson, or others including Charley Robertson who had otherwise unremarkable careers, this updated edition features new chapters devoted to Dallas Braden, Mark Buehrle, and Roy Halladay, the three latest pitchers to throw a perfect game, and a comprehensive appendix profiles several pitchers who almost achieved perfection."

Book Description
“Few people know the ‘price’ of everything, and yet ‘value’ of nothing.” I know that’s not you, because if it were the case – you won’t be flickering here to make things better and take your life to the next level. Today, a lot of people know what to do, yet a very few do what they know. The reason being is – they just don’t know how. This book is all about “how”. This book will help you to enhance and optimize each and every area of your life and will empower you how to crush it all! It is not what the book will cost you, it is what it will cost if you don’t read it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Successful is a man who is healthy, wealthy & wise.” We all have dreams – a fascinating & enchanting imagination and a blueprint of how our life is supposed to be. We all want to believe deep down in our souls that we have a special gift, that we can make a difference, that we can touch others in a special and pretty unique way, and that we can make this world a better place to live. At one time in our lives, we all had a vision for the quality of life that we desire and deserve. Yet, for many of us, those dreams have become shrouded in the frustrations and routines of daily life that we no longer even make an effort to accomplish them. For too many, the dream has dissipated – and with it, so has the will to design an extraordinary quality of life filled with grace and abundance. Many have lost that sense of certainty that creates winners edge. After all, “what’s the difference that makes the difference?” What makes the difference in the quality of people’s lives? Why few achieve what they want and succeed in their lives up to no limits and rest just keep dreaming and never reach to their “dreamland”? What is it that makes successful people “successful” and the rest mere dreamers? After all, what’s the difference between “incredibly successful” legends and “happily mediocre” crowd? How is it that so often people from such humble beginnings, devastating backgrounds, miserable circumstances, poor conditions and innumerous disappointments in spite of it all manage to create lives that inspire us? Conversely, why do many of those born into privileged environments, with every resource for success at their fingertips end up, ill, fat, broke, stupid, embarrassed, miserable, often chemically addicted & technically screwed? What makes some people’s lives example, while other’s a warning? For my entire life – I have been obsessed with like questions. And to quench my quest of figuring out the difference that made the difference – I stumbled upon an never ending journey – the road to “personal excellence”. The road which is always under construction. I’m not here to claim that I have figured it all out. But the great news is, “I’m yet evolving.” “Honor those who seek the truth, beware of those who have found it.” (For me, it’s a reminder that the path to personal excellence never ends and that absolutely nobody has this SHIT figured out.) Be Successful: Thrive Exponentially Beyond Excellence is my “open invitation” for you to join me on this uniquely phenomenal journey – the way to thrive exponentially beyond excellence. IS THIS INVITATION REALLY FOR YOU? Oh! I must say, that’s a pretty good question. “Knowledge is having the right answer, while intelligence is asking the right question.” Anyways – let’s come back to the point. Is this book really for you? Now, I can answer it in two ways: Firstly, Yes. Just because Sir Jim Rohn says, “You should always invest 10% of your income on yourself. Your personal development.” So, if he says that you should invest 10% of your income on your personal development – so you must. (Just Kidding). You might say, “Well, Sir Jim can say that you should invest 100% of your income on yourself – so we must?” May be, if he says so – then yes. Okay. Jokes apart. But wait, I have another good reason for you to consider why you must invest your “time” in this book. (It isn’t what the book costs. It’s what it will cost you if you don’t read it.) You see, I believe I know who you really are. If you are a kind of person who’s always seeking for “the edge” and you never want to settle for anything less than you are made to be or share or give or contribute. And that no matter how well you are already doing or how challenged you now may be, deep inside of you there lies a belief that your experience of life can and will be much greater than it already is – I think, this is a pretty perfect place for you to fit in! By consistently taking advantage of each of the chapters in this book, you will ensure your ability to maximize your potential and live a life – filled with grace and abundance. If you are still with me – let me brief you about how this book is structured and how to get the most of it. Basically, I have designed it in such a way that it will help you to grow and thrive in each and every area of your life, either it be your finances or relationship with your fiance (or fiancee) this book will invariably help you to unleash your true potential and reach the next level of success, happiness, fulfillment and accomplishment. It has 10 sections and in all, 55 chapters, guiding you thoroughly how to walk on the blazing path of success. Ah! Yes. You can download a sample of the book by clicking me! “In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.”
