Till the End
Author: CC Sabathia
Publisher: Roc Lit 101
ISBN: 0593133757
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A raw, compelling memoir of baseball, family, fame, addiction, and recovery, by one of the most beloved baseball players of his generation “Beautifully rendered . . . Readers and fans will be rooting for him to enter the Hall of Fame and rooting even harder for him to stay sober.”—The Wall Street Journal How does it feel to be born with enormous gifts, in a life shadowed by tragedy? What does it mean when the gift that opens the world for us is not enough to stop us from losing the things we love? And what new gifts do we find in that loss? Baseball had been CC Sabathia’s life since he was a kid in gritty, baseball-obsessed Vallejo, California. He was a star by the time he was a preteen and a professional athlete when he was still a teenager. Everything he knew about how to be a person—an adult, a husband and father, a leader—he learned in rhythm with the baseball season, the every-fifth-day high-intensity spotlight of a starting pitcher, all while dealing with one of the sport’s most turbulent eras: racism in a sport with diminishing Black presence; the era of performance-enhancing drugs; and the increasing tension between high-value contracts and sports owners who moved players around like game pieces. But his biggest struggle was with his own body and mind: Buoyed his whole life by talent and a fiery competitive spirit, CC found himself dealing with the steady and eventually alarming breakdown of his own body and his growing addiction in a world that encouraged and enabled it. Till the End is the thrilling memoir of one of the most beloved players in the game, a veteran star of the sport’s marquee team during its latest championship era. It’s also a book about baseball—about the ins and outs of its most important and technical position and its evolution in this volatile era. But woven within it is the moving, universal story of resilience and mortality and discovering what matters.

Spend 'Til the End
Author: Laurence J. Kotlikoff
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416579672
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Rich or poor, young or old, high school or college grad, this book, written by economist Laurence J. Kotlikoff and syndicated financial columnist Scott Burns, can change your life for the better! If you follow the advice in this book, it will raise your living standard (possibly by a lot), improve your lifestyle, and help you spend 'til the end. And it will completely transform your financial thinking, turning every bit of conventional financial wisdom on its head. If this sounds like a revolution in financial planning, you got it. So do The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Time, Consumer Reports, and other top publications that have been featuring the authors' economics-based "consumption smoothing" approach to financial planning. Spend 'Til the End substitutes economic wisdom for the "rules of dumb" that currently pass for financial advice. In the process it indicts the investment and financial-planning industry for giving most people saving and insurance targets that are much too high and then convincing them to invest in risky mutual funds and expensive insurance policies. The result is that most people are scrimping and saving during the years when they could be spending and enjoying their money -- and with no sure payoff. Easy to read, this book is packed with practical and often shocking advice on whether to work, how to pick a career, which job to take, where to live, what sort of house to buy, how much to save, when to retire, which kind of retirement account to use, whether to have kids, whether to divorce, when to take Social Security, how fast to spend down your assets in retirement, and how to invest.

The Poetess Within
Author: Stacia Shaina Star
Publisher: Outskirts Press, Inc.
ISBN: 9781932672879
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
I am intense. I view the universe in awe and wonderment. My background and training is in Psychology and I marvel at the uniqueness of everyone, not just as physical specimens, but as individual thinking entities. And in considering everything else that is not human, the complexity of life forms and experiences I encounter never ceases to humble me and leaves me with many questions to ponder about what life is and how fortunate "being alive" can be. My poetry reflects my observations and questions of the human condition, recording my perspectives of life's experiences. I welcome you to view a part of my world. Can you relate? Does it make you happy, angry, sad, or "anything" at all? All I ask is that you remain open and regard your reactions to the thoughts I have tried to convey and examine why you feel the way you do.

ISBN: 1456724738
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
My first book "Finding the Me in Me" focused on my thoughts as a parent after then death of Becca. Now I write the story of the legal process that her death required. Not only dela;ing with her death, but dealig with the legal component of murder. I suppose the hardnest part is being a mother you think you always have a say so in your children's lives - whether they like it or not. Legally you find out you don't. This is a journey I would hope no parent ever needs, but will provide some insight into the legal process as you learn to cope with the death of a loved one.
