A Life Unexpected
Author: Linda Cristal
Publisher: Balboa Press

Pages : 149
Book Description
Despite childhood poverty and the death of her brother and both parents at the age of thirteen, actress Linda Cristal escapes certain death in Argentina by stowing away on a ship to eventually become one of the most beautiful, successful, and well-known actresses in the world. A Life Unexpected is a book about her perseverance, her constant battles with naysayers, and her strength to move forward despite numerous obstacles. There has never been a story like this nor could there be as it wouldn’t be believed. Yet it’s true. This book details —the men in her life (Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Dana Andrews, John Wayne, Charles Bronson, and even billionaire Howard Hughes); —the emotions throughout her life (fear, isolation, passion, sadness, joy, and a longing for real love); —the experiences in her life, such as reckless stunts, heartbreaking romances, and breaking all the rules, even flying to the edge of the atmosphere with an astronaut; and —finally, her unstoppable goal to become one of the most famous actresses in the world in an effort to make her mom proud. A Life Unexpected is a mixture of vignettes and short stories of her travels in the film lands of the world, her interactions with amazing people, and a lot of laughs sprinkled with salty tears for good measure.

Hypnotic Writing
Author: Joe Vitale
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470009799
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Discover the secrets of written persuasion! "The principles of hypnosis, when applied to copywriting, add a new spin to selling. Joe Vitale has taken hypnotic words to set the perfect sales environment and then shows us how to use those words to motivate a prospect to take the action you want. This is truly a new and effective approach to copywriting, which I strongly recommend you learn. It's pure genius." -Joseph Sugarman, author of Triggers "I've read countless book on persuasion, but none come close to this one in showing you exactly how to put your readers into a buying trance that makes whatever you are offering them irresistible." -David Garfinkel, author of Advertising Headlines That Make You Rich "I am a huge fan of Vitale and his books, and Hypnotic Writing (first published more than twenty years ago), is my absolute favorite. Updated with additional text and fresh examples, especially from e-mail writing, Joe's specialty, Hypnotic Writing is the most important book on copywriting (yes, that's really what it is about) to be published in this century. Read it. It will make you a better copywriter, period." -Bob Bly, copywriter and author of The Copywriter's Handbook "I couldn't put this book down. It's eye opening and filled with genuinely new stuff about writing and persuading better. And it communicates it brilliantly and teaches it brilliantly-exemplifying the techniques by the writing of the book itself as you go along." -David Deutsch, author of Think Inside the Box, www.thinkinginside.com "Hypnotic Writing is packed with so much great information it's hard to know where to start. The insights, strategies, and tactics in the book are easy to apply yet deliver one heck of a punch. And in case there's any question how to apply them, the before-and-after case studies drive the points home like nothing else can. Hypnotic Writing is not just about hypnotic writing. It is hypnotic writing. On the count of three, you're going to love it. Just watch and see." -Blair Warren, author of The Forbidden Keys to Persuasion

Man and His Symbols
Author: Carl G. Jung
Publisher: Bantam
ISBN: 0307800555
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
The landmark text about the inner workings of the unconscious mind—from the symbolism that unlocks the meaning of our dreams to their effect on our waking lives and artistic impulses—featuring more than a hundred images that break down Carl Jung’s revolutionary ideas “What emerges with great clarity from the book is that Jung has done immense service both to psychology as a science and to our general understanding of man in society.”—The Guardian “Our psyche is part of nature, and its enigma is limitless.” Since our inception, humanity has looked to dreams for guidance. But what are they? How can we understand them? And how can we use them to shape our lives? There is perhaps no one more equipped to answer these questions than the legendary psychologist Carl G. Jung. It is in his life’s work that the unconscious mind comes to be understood as an expansive, rich world just as vital and true a part of the mind as the conscious, and it is in our dreams—those personal, integral expressions of our deepest selves—that it communicates itself to us. A seminal text written explicitly for the general reader, Man and His Symbolsis a guide to understanding the symbols in our dreams and using that knowledge to build fuller, more receptive lives. Full of fascinating case studies and examples pulled from philosophy, history, myth, fairy tales, and more, this groundbreaking work—profusely illustrated with hundreds of visual examples—offers invaluable insight into the symbols we dream that demand understanding, why we seek meaning at all, and how these very symbols affect our lives. By illuminating the means to examine our prejudices, interpret psychological meanings, break free of our influences, and recenter our individuality, Man and His Symbols proves to be—decades after its conception—a revelatory, absorbing, and relevant experience.
