Let Your Mind Run
Author: Deena Kastor
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 1524760765
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Deena Kastor is one of the greatest bodies in distance running, but this book captures what is so groundbreaking about her mind” (Alexi Pappas, Olympian, writer, and filmmaker)—now featuring a workbook to help chart your mind’s journey “Inspiring, fascinating, and insightful. Practical for anyone trying to overcome the biggest impediments to climbing that next hill of growth.”—Shawn Achor, author of The Happiness Advantage and Big Potential Deena Kastor was a star youth runner with tremendous promise, yet her career almost ended after college, when her competitive method—run as hard as possible, for fear of losing—brought her to the brink of burnout. On the verge of quitting, she took a chance on legendary coach Joe Vigil, who had started the first professional distance-running team in the US. At his Colorado training center, she encountered the notion that shaping her mind to be more encouraging, kind, and resilient could make her faster than she’d ever imagined possible. Building a mind so strong would take years of effort and discipline, but it would propel Kastor to the pinnacle of running—to American records in every distance from the 5K to the marathon—and to the accomplishment of earning America’s first Olympic medal in the marathon in twenty years. Let Your Mind Run is a fascinating, intimate look inside the mind of an elite athlete, a remarkable story of achievement, and an insightful primer on how the small steps of cultivating possibility can give anyone a competitive edge.

Live Fast Die Hot
Author: Jenny Mollen
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 1101969989
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
*A NEW YORK TIMES HUMOR BESTSELLER* By the author of I Like You Just the Way I Am and a frequent Chelsea contributor, an outrageous collection of personal stories about motherhood, responsibility, and other potential disasters. Jenny Mollen is a writer and actress living in New York. Until recently, her life was exciting, sexy, a little eccentric, and one hundred percent impulsive. She had a husband who embraced her crazy—who understood her need to occasionally stalk around the house in his ex-girlfriend’s old beach caftans and to invite their drug dealer to Passover seder (so he wouldn’t feel like they were using him only for drugs). Then they had their son, Sid, and overnight, Jenny was forced to grow up: to be responsible, to brush her hair, to listen to her voicemail. Searingly funny and surprisingly affecting, Live Fast Die Hot is a collection of stories about what happens when you realize that some things are more important than crafting the perfect tweet—and a reminder that even if you never thought you were cut out for parenting, at least you can be better at it than your mother.

Amadeus
Author: Ray Morton
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 087910421X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
In this first book ever written about the making of this classic and beloved film, Ray Morton traces the genesis of Amadeus from the conception of the original idea by Shaffer to the development of the screenplay – which turned the play inside out and made a profound theatrical experience into a dazzling cinematic one. The casting of Tom Hulce and F. Murray Abraham to play Mozart and Salieri gave two unknowns the roles that every star in the world was desperate to play. Amadeus details the production of the film in then-Communist Czechoslovakia – where the filmmakers were bedeviled by everything from decrepit studios to unpredictable weather to constant surveillance by the Czech secret police – and the creation of the film's glorious music, which features dazzling interpretations of Mozart by Sir Neville Marriner and the legendary Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields orchestra. The book concludes by describing the film's successful release in 1984, which generated wonderful reviews, terrific box office, eight Academy Awards, a best-selling soundtrack that propelled classical music to the top of the pop charts, a 2002 director's cut, and a reputation as one of the greatest and most popular films of all time.

Overtones of Opera in American Literature from Whitman to Wharton
Author: Carmen Trammell Skaggs
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 0807136751
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Overtones of Opera explores the discourse of opera -- both the art form and the social institution -- in selected works of Whitman, Poe, Alcott, Chopin, Cather, James, and Wharton. For some, opera provided a powerful artistic medium for expressing a private aesthetic experience; in opera, they discovered the embodied voice of the artist. Others found not only the spectacle of opera but also its spaces, the opera houses and boxes, perfectly suited for displaying the class-based and commodity driven aspirations of America's new aristocracy. This noteworthy study will inform and enlighten literary scholars, musicologists, and lovers of both opera and literature.
