When I Stop Talking, You'll Know I'm Dead
Author: Jerry Weintraub
Publisher: Twelve
ISBN: 0446568937
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Here is the story of Jerry Weintraub: the self-made, Brooklyn-born, Bronx-raised impresario, Hollywood producer, legendary deal maker, and friend of politicians and stars. No matter where nature has placed him--the club rooms of Brooklyn, the Mafia dives of New York's Lower East Side, the wilds of Alaska, or the hills of Hollywood--he has found a way to put on a show and sell tickets at the door. "All life was a theater and I wanted to put it up on a stage," he writes. "I wanted to set the world under a marquee that read: 'Jerry Weintraub Presents.'" In When I Stop Talking, You'll Know I'm Dead, we follow Weintraub from his first great success at age twenty-six with Elvis Presley, whom he took on the road with the help of Colonel Tom Parker; to the immortal days with Sinatra and Rat Pack glory; to his crowning hits as a movie producer, starting with Robert Altman and Nashville, continuing with Oh, God!, The Karate Kid movies, and Diner, among others, and summiting with Steven Soderbergh and Ocean's Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen. Along the way, we'll watch as Jerry moves from the poker tables of Palm Springs (the games went on for days), to the power rooms of Hollywood, to the halls of the White House, to Red Square in Moscow and the Great Palace in Beijing-all the while counseling potentates, poets, and kings, with clients and confidants like George Clooney, Bruce Willis, George H. W. Bush, Armand Hammer, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, John Denver, Bobby Fischer . . .well, the list goes on forever. And of course, the story is not yet over . . .as the old-timers say, "The best is yet to come." As Weintraub says, "When I stop talking, you'll know I'm dead." With wit, wisdom, and the cool confidence that has colored his remarkable career, Jerry chronicles a quintessentially American journey, one marked by luck, love, and improvisation. The stories he tells and the lessons we learn are essential, not just for those who love movies and music, but for businessmen, entrepreneurs, artists . . . everyone.

Now That I Am Dead
Author: Enrique A Cordero
Publisher: Enrique A. Cordero
ISBN: 1704725232
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Unlike the author’s first book, It’s Hard to Die! “Do I Hold On or Do I Let Go?” which focuses on the practical and clinical aspects of the dying process—this book presents the subject from a metaphysical and transcendental approach. It addresses issues that impact the mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of the dying person, their family, and friends. It is difficult to step outside our comfort zone—our place of refuge, that little corner in our minds that offers solitude and protection from the unfamiliar. Our comfort zone is our reality, and we protect it from intrusion—especially when it comes to thoughts of death and dying. If you or a loved one are facing end-of-life issues, this book may help to alleviate the uncertainties and anguish felt during this most heart-rending time. As distressing questions and situations arise you may be forced to make difficult decisions regarding some various issues: Am I playing God? | Letting go or hanging on | What happens during the dying process? | Fear of dying | Grief and bereavement | Funeral? Burial? Cremation? | Being at peace with your religious and spiritual beliefs | What happens after death? Perhaps embracing new ideas will open our minds and hearts to myriad possibilities. A deeper understanding of the viewpoints of other religions, cultures, and ethnicities will help us become more understanding, compassionate, and respectful of the needs and wishes of the dying person. Are you ready to journey beyond your comfort zone?

When We Die
Author: Prof. Cedric Mims
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1466883855
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 531
Book Description
An unusually comprehensive study of death as both a social and scientific phenomenon, When We Die is as frank as it is informed. This far-reaching discussion considers mortality from the personal and the universal perspective, generously citing past and present poets and physicians from a diverse and telling range of traditions. Mims, who for two decades served as Professor of Microbiology at London's Guys Hospital, brings a humane, inquisitive, and learned sensibility to his topic. "This book is a light-hearted but wide-ranging survey of death, the causes of death, and the disposal of corpses," writes Mims. "It tells why we die and how we die, and what happens to the dead body and its bits and pieces. It describes the ways corpses are dealt with in different religions and in different parts of the world; the methods for preserving bodies; and the ways—fascinating in their diversity—in which corpses or parts of corpses are used and abused." The volume also explores such crucial death-based notions as the afterlife, the soul, and the prospect of immortality. By way of the book's main focus, Mims continues: "We should take a more matter-of-fact view of death (and) accept it and talk about it more than we do—as we have done with the once taboo subject of sex." This is a work that any student of social anthropology will find equally enlightening and essential.
