Book Description
"Bernie Palmatier's Grunch and other fabulous characters have performed a miracle. They have wrestled with some difficult principles of life and success, and simplified them so that anyone can understand them...and use them. Wise men have been trying to do the same for centuries." - Og Mandino, Author/Lecturer Og Mandino's inspired book "The Greatest Salesman in the World" and the benefits of the Ten Scrolls contained therein not only changed my life, I have often stated they may, indeed, have SAVED my life. As a life-long manic-depressive I had lived with three different "moods" -- normalcy, depression and mania -- one of which resulted in the occasional and then intense flirtation with suicide. It was only with the benefit of the 20/20 vision of hindsight that I came to realize what it was that kept me going, kept me persisting with my life. Given that realization I determined that I should "systematize" what it was that Og Mandino had formulated and shared in his wonderful book. That system became what I now call "Attitude Control" I determined that if that self-help system could stabilize a diagnosed bi-polar then it would likely be beneficial to "normal" people. Needless to say, due to the stigma surrounding mental illness, one of the most difficult aspects of creating my book was the fact that I would likely be required to confess something I had kept secret for many years -- my own battle with manic-depression. It was only as I drove toward one of my very first radio talk show appearances that the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson motivated me to mention my illness: "Show me a man who was saved from nothing and I'll show you a man who wasnt' saved." It was only then that I was able to speak openly of my affliction. Since the first 2000 copies of the original hardcover print version of my first saw the light of day one of the primary comments I get closely approximates what Mr. Mandino said, "Your book, "The Grunch Who Ate The Bottom Line!", is one of the simplest and yet most powerful ways of getting a self-help message across." Therefore, it is now my hope that through the advent of this exciting new medium for sharing the written word that my story and my system might be a positive influence on all people who have attitude challenges. So whether I impact my readers with the elements of "Attitude Control" or simply inspire people to become more aware of and involved in Self-help, Inspirational, Motivational Psychology then I will consider my goal achieved. For I believe that seeing one's glass as half-full or half-empty is a choice. Seeing one's life and the world as heavenly or as a hell is also a choice. The choice as to which will derive the greatest happiness, peace of mind and spirit and ultimately the greatest good for humanity is, to me, obvious. Creating a mindset that makes that choice relatively automatic will take time and effort. However, a great book says: "The beginning of wisdom is fear (awe) of the Lord". It is my contention that the beginning of the commitment necessary to get control over our attitudes is fear of experiencing what can happen when our attitudes are out of control. At my seminars and speeches and interviews I have stated that what I suggest may not work for you; but, if so, then find something that will. It can mean all the difference to your life and the lives of those you love the most.

Grunch* of Giants
Author: R. Buckminster Fuller
Publisher: Estate of R. Buckminster Fuller
ISBN: 0312351941
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
With the appearance of Grunch of Giants, R. Buckminster Fuller consummates his literary canon, his panoramic lifetime survey of all aspects of the responsibility of human beings for their own destiny. This book is a modern allegory - his long-gestated myth-of the villainy of capitalism and the fecklessness of classic economics. For Fuller, the academic discipline of economics is irrelevant since it derives from an invalid assumption of scarcity. In fact, he has long argued that future historians of our era may subsume our business practices as a branch of mythology; thus it is not surprising that the word economic appears nowhere in his text. Fuller’s myth is no idle fairy tale, since he faces his question - the question of a technological imperative which only he could raise with the deadly seriousness of satire. That question is: Can our system of national political sovereignties and corporate profits survive the inevitable technology revolution required to obviate wars by effecting a worldwide rise in the standard of living. One of the functions of myth is to resolve contradictions in our culture. Grunch of Giants portrays the rising of multinational corporations in the paradoxical role of function both as the epitome of capitalistic selfishness and as the inadvertent vehicle for the dissolution of national political boundaries - the last deterrent to a one-world economy. The result is more subversive of the property and profit values of the capitalist system than anything dreamed of since Karl Marx. —E.J. Applewhite, collaborator with RBF on Synergetics and Synergetics 2, author of Cosmic Fishing: A Memoir of Working With R. Buckminster Fuller

The Secret Team
Author: L. Fletcher Prouty
Publisher: Skyhorse
ISBN: 1626367809
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 726
Book Description
The Secret Team, L. Fletcher Prouty's CIA exposé, was first published in the 1970s, but virtually all copies of the book disappeared upon distribution, purchased en masse by shady "private buyers." Certainly Prouty's amazing allegations—that the U-2 Crisis of 1960 was fixed to sabotage Eisenhower-Khrushchev talks, and that President Kennedy was assassinated to keep the U.S., and its defense budget, in Vietnam—cannot have pleased the CIA. Though suppressed (until now), The Secret Team was an important influence for Oliver Stone's Academy Award-winning film JFK and countless other works on U.S. government conspiracies, and it raises the same crucial question today that it did on its first appearance: who, in fact, is in control of the United States and the world?
