From the author of Infinite Jest and Consider the Lobster: a collection of five brilliant essays on tennis, from the author's own experience as a junior player to his celebrated profile of Roger Federer at the peak of his powers. A "long-time rabid fan of tennis," and a regionally ranked tennis player in his youth, David Foster Wallace wrote about the game like no one else.

This lively and entertaining collection begins with Wallace's own experience as a prodigious tennis player ("Derivative Sport in Tornado Alley").

With infectious enthusiasm and enormous heart, Wallace's writing shows us the beauty, complexity, and brilliance of the game he loved best.

Book Description
Whether you’re just starting your career at twenty-two or quickly approaching retirement at sixty-two, Who’s Eating Your Pie? will give you the tools you need to grow a bigger, sweeter financial pie than you ever thought possible—and keep everyone else’s fingers out of it! “H-h-h-h-h-hello. M-m-my n-name is E-e-e-e-e-rik W-w-w-weir. H-how-how c-c-can I e-earn y-y-y-your b-b-business?” Believe it or not, that’s the opening line that drove a young investment broker with a near-debilitating, lifelong stutter into a $1-million-per-year income by age thirty. And that incredible level of success was just the beginning! In his debut book Who’s Eating Your Pie? leader and speaker Erik Weir opens the playbook that’s led him to unbelievable success as an entrepreneur, investor, film producer, and real estate developer. He tackles the tough questions today’s young professionals are asking, such as: Can anyone build wealth, no matter where they’re starting from? Is it moral for me to want to build wealth? What does it mean to be “rich”? How can I build real wealth as a salaried employee? How can I build wealth for myself and others as an entrepreneur? What steps should I take each day to ensure I’m moving forward toward my wealth-building goals? What is the stock market and how does it work? Can I get rich with just a 401(k)? How does real estate investing work? Where does philanthropic giving fit into my wealth-building plan? Erik Weir has helped some of the wealthiest people in the country answer these questions, from multi-Grammy-winning musical artists to CEOs of some of America’s biggest companies to world-renowned professional athletes. Now, he wants to do the same for you, offering you the same advice and guidance he’s given to millionaires and billionaires for the past three decades.

But true anti-aging will not only turn the time back on your face but your whole body by improving your overall health and extending your lifespan. My mission is to bring you back to the core fundamentals and principles of good health by following common sense that is not always common knowledge. In fact, it is often the very opposite of mainstream dogma or commercial interests. I will reveal some secrets the beauty industry doesn't want you to know! Just as your body has its own self-healing mechanism, it also comes with its own anti-aging mechanism. For almost 3 decades now I've been involved in the natural health field. Along the way, I've been fortunate to uncover and discover a multitude of natural and effective ways to look and feel years younger - even as we mature past the age of 40. Now I've put over 100 of my favorite and most naturally effective tips, tricks and hacks for anti-aging into one very user-friendly guide I've called, The Aging Games: How to Come Out a Winner. These tips fall under a wide variety of health and beauty topics that range from skin care, weight loss, improved sleep, beauty treatments, nutrition and much more. These specific tips, tricks and anti-aging 'hacks' that I've both discovered and used myself with great success are not only easy to implement at home, but implementing just a few of these tips on a consistent basis can yield some very remarkable results. A Quick Sneak Peek of What You'll Discover Inside The Aging Games Program How to naturally (and easily) "reset" your own biological clock from the inside out. This will slow the aging process and allow you to look and feel years younger! Find out the most powerful and effective anti-aging exercises for dropping those unwanted pounds of fat, while preserving essential muscle (Hint: it's not as complicated as you think)! Discover why you shouldn't fear dreaded cholesterol and how it can actually help you live a much longer and healthier life! Do you really know what causes arterial build-up in your veins and causes lack of blood flow? It's not what you think. I'll tell you the real culprit and what you can do about it! Why you should ditch your favorite pair of sunglasses and do this instead to naturally improve your eyesight and sleep better. You'll wish you did this years ago once you SEE the real difference in your health and vision! Find out how you can easily increase your lifespan by over 10% or more with just a few simple adjustments to your own lifestyle! A little of this goes a very long way! I'll show you exactly why you don't need 8 glasses of water per day, why coffee is actually making you sick and fat, and why breathing LESS is better for optimal health! Discover why you should never eat past sundown, how vegetable oils are secretly destroying your health, and the real secrets why fasting can help you melt off pesky fat (and also help you live longer)! Ever heard of the 'Vagus Nerve'? Find out why stimulating this critical nerve can have a vital impact on your own physical health and personal vitality! Find out the critical importance of fascia and aging, a secret trick to increasing collagen levels by 400%, and how red light can actually help you age backwards!

Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.
