Book Description
Diamond at Your Rock Bottom: Turning Adversity into Triumph In this transformative debut, Dr. Bolu Oladini, a dynamic pharmaceutical executive and serial entrepreneur, extends a compelling invitation to young adults in their 20s and 30s. Drawing from a rich tapestry of wisdom that blends stoicism, Zen, modern psychology, and Christianity, Dr. Oladini guides readers through a comprehensive framework to use personal and professional adversity as stepping stones to self-transformation through post-traumatic growth. His unique approach encourages readers who have gone through traumatic experiences (“rock bottom”) to use the aftermath of the crisis to re-assess and re-create themselves into the best version of themselves (a “diamond”). Dr. Oladini employs the powerful metaphor of a diamond—crafted under pressure from rough coal—to illustrate the potential for beauty and success from life's hardest moments. This book will flip your perspective, revealing that rock bottom is not a pit of despair, but a launching pad for finding your true potential. The journey laid out in Diamond at Your Rock Bottom is not about merely surviving challenges, but transforming them into catalysts for profound personal growth. His unique model breaks down the path to post-traumatic growth. Dr. Oladini’s book takes readers on a journey with his methodical framework that includes insightful and often counterintuitive ideas in chapters discussing failure, acceptance, identity, values, habits, relationships, intuition, and courage. With a wide variety of stories and examples to drive home his points, Oladini shows us the common threads in people and companies who are able to overcome and transcend adversity. As he states in the first chapter, “The pressure that will form your diamond is your journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and spiritual awakening after reaching rock bottom.” Similar to how coal can turn into a diamond after undergoing thousands of pounds of pressure, this book is a guide to show the reader how to create and uncover their own diamond. Readers will leave with a sense of renewed hope, energy, and insight. Go to www.boluoladini.com today to find out more and get your copy. Dr. Bolu Oladini is a pharmacist by training and a pharmaceutical industry executive. He is also a serial entrepreneur with a profitable short-term rental business, a real estate syndication group, and a successful career coaching business. With his background in psychology and a life filled with overcoming personal challenges, Dr. Oladini is passionately equipped to inspire others to use their adversity as a catalyst for personal transformation. He, his wife, and their son reside in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, where he continues to share his journey and support others in crafting their own stories of success.

Pages : 286
Book Description
Once, the Blood Orphans had it all: a million-dollar recording contract from Warner Brothers, killer hooks, and cheekbones that could cut glass. Four pretty boys from Los Angeles, they were supposed to be the next big thing, future kings of rock and roll. But something happened on the way to glory, and now, two years later, along with their coke-fueled, mohawked female manager, they have washed up in Amsterdam for the final show of their doomed and dismal European tour. The singer has become a born-again Buddhist who preaches from the stage, the bass player's raging eczema has turned his hands into a pulpy mess, the drummer is a sex-fiend tormented by the misdeeds of his porn-king father, and the guitar player -- the only talented one -- is thoroughly cowed by the constant abuse of his bandmates. As they stumble through their final day together, the Blood Orphans find themselves on a comic tour of frustration, danger, excitement, and just possibly, redemption.

Hit Hard
Author: Joey Kramer
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0061887943
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
In 1997, amid Aerosmith's sold-out world tour and number one album release, word about Joey's troubles was reported in the press.Despite the advice he had received to play it down, Joey revealed in an interview his ongoing struggles with depression. The response from fans and people battling those same internal demons was overwhelming. Joey—who has been the drummer in Aerosmith since it was founded in 1970 and is the first member of the band to release his own book—now tells the complete story: the early days of the band, glamorous drug-addled events leading up to their eventual sobriety, battles within his family and among bandmates, and the explosive internal dynamics in Aerosmith that continue to unleash a fury of endless creativity. This is not just another rock 'n' roll memoir. In addition to the never-before-told Aerosmith war stories that abound in the book, Hit Hard unpacks the history of a rock star who was both fragile and tough, who after years of insane wildness became willing to accept help and finally kick a serious alcohol and drug addiction, only to find that the real terrors and hard work were still ahead. It's the story of an average kid from an average American suburb who went through physical and emotional trauma. It's about years of depression and the nervous breakdown at the height of the band's comeback success. Ultimately, Hit Hard is about how Joey recognized his confusion between love and abuse, awakening to the kind of self-acceptance and compassion that make relationships possible in the "real world" as a member of the biggest band in American history.

Pages : 560
Book Description
*NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).
