ISBN: 1642590800
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Michael Bennett is a Super Bowl Champion, a three-time Pro Bowl defensive end, a fearless activist, a feminist, a grassroots philanthropist, an organizer, and a change maker. He's also one of the most scathingly humorous athletes on the planet, and he wants to make you uncomfortable. Bennett adds his unmistakable voice to discussions of racism and police violence, Black athletes and their relationship to powerful institutions like the NCAA and the NFL, the role of protest in history, and the responsibilities of athletes as role models to speak out against injustice. Following in the footsteps of activist-athletes from Muhammad Ali to Colin Kaepernick, Bennett demonstrates his outspoken leadership both on and off the field.Written with award-winning sportswriter and author Dave Zirin, Things that Make White People Uncomfortable is a sports book for our turbulent times, a memoir, and a manifesto as hilarious and engaging as it is illuminating.

Broken Vision
Author: Horacio JonesPublisher:
ISBN: 9781503126268
Category : Conduct of life
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Welcome to the FIRST book written by Horacio Jones. If you find yourself questioning the purpose of the heartache that finds you, look at the way you allow people to love you. This vision does not exclude self-accountability. More often than not, truths expose just as much about ourselves because we are responsible for what we tolerate and how we react. Move from the cloud of defensiveness and be receptive to the idea that you enabled bad behavior by being faithful to it. We all have habits of romanticizing the time in an effort to negate the inconsistent love. Most of us fall into the safety net of familiarity in fear that the freedom of real love does not exist. This is self-entrapment, but love is emancipating. Horacio surrenders his own experiences as a reminder of our common ground then proceeds to release us to where we hope to be. The discomfort that you may feel is the process of being removed from your comfort zone, so you may experience the newness that you were blocking all along. If you want to do some soul searching, or to hear something you already know, but needed confirmation that you weren't going crazy, and that more people than you think, relate to your situation, then this book is for you. Broken Vision is just observations, experiences, clarity, and reality. And I believe that no matter who you are or what background you have, there is something in this book that will resonate with you and leave you "thirsty" to read more.
The 48 Laws of Power
Author: Robert GreenePublisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0670881465
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
I Am the Love of My Life
Author: Horacio JonesPublisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781512356571

Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
What if you could, with a little effort, finally find a path to self-love that suits you specifically? A path that will no longer lead you back to exes? A path that will no longer allow you to feel "stuck" in the same kind of poisonous relationships and situationships as everyone else around you? A path to finding out what it truly means to love YOUR self in such a way that it superchargers the love you give to others? We hear it and read about it all the time: "Love Yourself First." But HOW is the question that we all ask ourselves. Horacio Jones has expanded on the ideas that love comes in over 7 billion forms; we all learn and experience love in our own languages, and therefore our paths to healing and accepting ourselves are in different languages as well. There is no one-size-fits-all definition of love. Love is neither right or wrong, it just "is." And the purpose of this book is to shed light on the importance of living by not only your own love language, but also your own healing language. In "I Am The Love Of My Life," Horacio Jones provide you with the enlightenment on finding YOUR own unique path to love YOUR own self. A must-read for anyone whose ever had one of those "why is it so hard to love myself"" moments of self doubt.. This book will give you both new perspectives on self-appreciation principles as well as tactical thinking for figuring out what your own unique version of self-love looks like and how you can get there. Horacio Jones does an amazing job at speaking the truth in regards to relationships, situationships and love. This is a must read especially in today's society of "I don't want a relationship, but I don't want you to be single," and the very confusing "we are exclusive, but not officially together" type of dating. Welcome to the SECOND book written by Horacio Jones.
Lighting the Way
Author: Robert GilleskiePublisher: Mill City Press, Incorporated
ISBN: 9781545626849
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Failure to adequately address the major issues of sustainable development threatens the health, safety, and economic survival of all human beings. These issues include climate change, perhaps one of the greatest threats to civilization as we know it; access to potable water for everyone; the protection of natural resources for ourselves and future generations; and our ability to limit and manage the waste we create in our daily lives. One of the major reasons for this inadequacy is the deficiency of leadership at all levels - government, business and industry, and in the personal lives of everyone.
