Book Description
After opening a bag of potato chips, fifteen year old Cyndi was upset when she found that the chips were completely soaked in grease and obviously inedible. She sat in the kitchen with her mother as her mother hand wrote a letter to the potato chip manufacturer. Several weeks after mailing the letter, her family received a huge box in the mail. Upon opening the box, Cyndi was surprised to find that the potato chip manufacturer responded to her mother's letter. Inside the box was a six month supply of potato chips, coupons for future purchases, and an apology letter. A valuable lesson was learned that day. The box of potato chips was nice but the letter of apology was better. Cyndi continued to carry the practice of letter writing and has made this a part of her life. She has used letter writing as a way of reacting in a non-confrontational manner to get resolve and affect change. This book is a compilation of actual letters that were written over the years to strangers, bank managers, car dealership owners, employers, local mayors, local magistrates, local post office workers, and even coworkers. What do these entities have in common? They all inflicted some sort of injustice against Cyndi and received written letters in the mail. Everyone responds to frustration created out of injustices in the way suited best for him or her. Some people have the unique ability to ignore injustices directed at them and others stand firm on principle. Did the potato chip incident arise to the level of injustice? No. It was an honest mistake. Nevertheless, the letter to them helped Cyndi understand that letters have power. This book expresses one way of releasing frustration and a unique way of dealing with the frustration creators of the world.

Trust Me, I'm Lying
Author: Ryan Holiday
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1591846285
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
The cult classic that predicted the rise of fake news—revised and updated for the post-Trump, post-Gawker age. Hailed as "astonishing and disturbing" by the Financial Times and "essential reading" by TechCrunch at its original publication, former American Apparel marketing director Ryan Holiday’s first book sounded a prescient alarm about the dangers of fake news. It's all the more relevant today. Trust Me, I’m Lying was the first book to blow the lid off the speed and force at which rumors travel online—and get "traded up" the media ecosystem until they become real headlines and generate real responses in the real world. The culprit? Marketers and professional media manipulators, encouraged by the toxic economics of the news business. Whenever you see a malicious online rumor costs a company millions, politically motivated fake news driving elections, a product or celebrity zooming from total obscurity to viral sensation, or anonymously sourced articles becoming national conversation, someone is behind it. Often someone like Ryan Holiday. As he explains, “I wrote this book to explain how media manipulators work, how to spot their fingerprints, how to fight them, and how (if you must) to emulate their tactics. Why am I giving away these secrets? Because I’m tired of a world where trolls hijack debates, marketers help write the news, opinion masquerades as fact, algorithms drive everything to extremes, and no one is accountable for any of it. I’m pulling back the curtain because it’s time the public understands how things really work. What you choose to do with this information is up to you.”

Book Description
(Applause Books). "These are memoirs of a kid born in New York City in 1925. His dad, George Senior, was a pianist, composer, and orchestra leader at Proctor's Vaudeville Theatre, and his mother, Helen, played in a classic dance troupe. Hanky-panky ensued. They married, and I soon was the result... I write like I talk. A long time ago I tried making 'talking and telling the truth' one and the same. That isn't just difficult; it means painfully reviewing things you've been led to believe since you were a child. That's very hard to do. Like many, I have marched along adhering to conventions (sex, color, church, party, gang) without examination. There's a wonderful, protective 'togetherness' in that anonymity. You obey or are damned, less joined together than stuck together. You become an echo rather than a voice. This book is about what happens when you stop fearing and think. I like writing, but warmed-over BS is not on the menu. You are the most important thing in life. Every phrase in the book awkward or not is how I think and question everything. I wrote every word as if we were sitting together. I want you to think, too..." George Kennedy, from the preface

Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy
Author: Ozzy Osbourne
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
ISBN: 1455503347
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Wondering if science could explain how he survived his 40-year avalanche of drugs and alcohol, Ozzy Osbourne became one of a handful of people in the world to have his entire DNA mapped in 2010. It was a highly complex, $65,000 process, but the results were conclusive: Ozzy is a genetic anomaly. The "Full Ozzy Genome" contained variants that scientists had never before encountered and the findings were presented at the prestigious TEDMED Conference in San Diego-making headlines around the world. The procedure was in part sponsored by The Sunday Times of London, which had already caused an international fururoe by appointing Ozzy Osbourne its star health advice columnist. The newpaper argued that Ozzy's mutliple near-death experiences, 40-year history of drug abuse, and extreme hypocondria qualified him more than any other for the job. The column was an overnight hit, being quickly picked up by Rolling Stone to give it a global audience of millions. In Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy, Ozzy answers reader's questions with his outrageous wit and surprising wisdom, digging deep into his past to tell the memoir-style survival stories never published before-and offer guidance that no sane human being should follow. Part humor, part memoir, and part bad advice, Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy will include some of the best material from his published columns, answers to celebrities' medical questions, charts, sidebars, and more.
