In 2012, on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, an improvised explosive device left Dan Crenshaw's right eye destroyed and his left blinded. Only through the careful hand of his surgeons, and what doctors called a miracle, did Crenshaw's left eye recover partial vision. And yet, he persevered, completing two more deployments. Why? There are certain stories we tell ourselves about the hardships we face—we can become paralyzed by adversity or we can adapt and overcome. We can be fragile or we can find our fortitude. Crenshaw delivers a set of lessons to help you do just that.

Could have been great book
Revisado: 05-21-20
This started off as a great book, I wanted to recommend it to friends and family like I do with great books. At the beginning it was everything I live for, self-reliance, fiscal responsibility, never take a hand out from government or anybody, challenge my mind and body to the limit often etc etc
However the author started calling out by name member of his opposite party for what he perceives as wrong doings, there was no calling out of anyone on his own party, although I am sure he is aware of many outrageous wrong doing from member of his own party.
Because I respect his sacrifice & service to our nation, I did not return the book, but cannot recommend it either.
Both sides have good points, sometimes I am more on one side sometimes more on the other, I do not believe on taking a one-sided extremist political view since many times the best is somewhere in the middle.
We solve problems when we come together not when we blame one another.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

Contemporary life provides us with infinite opportunities, along with endless temptations. We can eat whatever we want, whenever we want. We can buy goods and services for rapid delivery. But living in this 24/7 hyper-reality poses serious risks to our physical and mental states, our connections to others, and even to the world at large. Brain Wash builds from a simple premise: Our brains are being gravely manipulated, resulting in behaviors that leave us more lonely, anxious, depressed, distrustful, illness-prone, and overweight than ever before.

This book is about our new relationships. A new and surprising world is emerging that requires each of us to explore the sources of our love and cultivate them and the inner sources of all that prevents us from loving (our fears) and heal them. Our evolution has taken a new path, and our relationships are changing in unexpected and dramatic ways.

In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites listeners into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her - from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work to her time spent at the world's most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it - in her own words and on her own terms.

An OK Book
Revisado: 05-26-19
When I read Barack Obama's books I can feel a superior thinking, the capacity to look for optimism in the absence of supporting conditions, his brain and soul seam to be wired intertwined with positive thinking & committed to see the best in everything. Of course as a good politician he talk to captivate the masses and I see that as well but overall he is truly inspiring.
Michelle Obama comes across as a wonderful person, committed to the good of the universe yet trapped in her self limiting belief of her own rational humanity, her own story, the story of her ancestry, Carrying all of that instead of being free and shaking all off, I still like her a lot but through her book I can see why Barack inspired the world and Michelle as wonderful as she is was not on the same vibration level. Smart, hard working great achiever is what I get from the book but not particularly inspiring, her talent is somewhere else. Still recommend the book and I am glad I read it.

Ever noticed that trying to calm down often produces more agitation? Or that real fulfillment can be elusive, despite living a successful life? Often, such difficulties stem from the human brain's hardwired tendency to seek pleasure and avoid pain. Modern science demonstrates that this survival mechanism served the needs of our earliest ancestors, but is at the root of many problems that we face today, such as depression, compulsive and addictive behaviors, chronic pain, and stress and anxiety.

This leading-edge program by Esther and Jerry Hicks, who present the teachings of the non-physical entity Abraham, will help you understand the emotions that you've been experiencing all of your life. Instead of the out-of-control, knee-jerk reactions that most people have to their ever-changing life experience, this work will put those responses into a broader context. You'll come to understand what emotions are, what each of them means, and how to effectively utilize your new awareness of them.
