  From the euphoria of the gridiron, to the depths of stress, isolation and depression - and back again. 
   
  For as long as he can remember, BJ Daniels ate, slept and breathed football. He became a star quarterback at the University of South Florida and went on to play professionally in the NFL, winning the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks in 2013. 
   
  In many ways, it seemed like BJ was living every athlete's dream. However, he also saw first-hand the lows that accompany being a football player at the highest level. The mental health struggles both he and his teammates faced – often in silence – have inspired a new passion and purpose in him: to share his story, from setbacks to success, and encourage others to face their wellbeing head-on. 
   
  Here, with raw vulnerability, through his own lived experience, BJ explores the importance of resilience, mindset, dedication, passion and perseverance – all of which can help you to rise above your circumstances. 
   
  This audiobook embodies BJ’s mission to "Leave No One Behind", and shows us that, beyond all our obstacles, there’s a life worth living.

  How the Clinic Made Gender - The...

  An eye-opening exploration of the medical origins of gender in modern US history.  
   
  Today, a world without “gender” is hard to imagine. Gender is at the center of contentious political and social debates, shapes policy decisions, and informs our everyday lives. Its formulation, however, is lesser known: Gender was first used in clinical practice. This book tells the story of the invention of gender in American medicine, detailing how it was shaped by mid-twentieth-century American notions of culture, personality, and social engineering.  
   
  Sandra Eder shows how the concept of gender transformed from a pragmatic tool in the sex assignment of children with intersex traits in the 1950s to an essential category in clinics for transgender individuals in the 1960s. Following gender outside the clinic, she reconstructs the variable ways feminists integrated gender into their theories and practices in the 1970s. The process by which ideas about gender became medicalized, enforced, and popularized was messy, and the route by which gender came to be understood and applied through the treatment of patients with intersex traits was fraught and contested. In historicizing the emergence of the sex/gender binary, Eder reveals the role of medical practice in developing a transformative idea and the interdependence between practice and wider social norms that inform the attitudes of physicians and researchers. She shows that ideas like gender can take on a life of their own and may be used to question the normative perceptions they were based on. Illuminating and deeply researched, the book closes a notable gap in the history of gender and will inspire current debates on the relationship between social norms and medical practice.

  In the shadows of history, some stories challenge our understanding of humanity. 'The Sterilization Experiments: The Barbaric Legacy of Carl Clauberg' is one such story. 
  The atrocities committed during the Nazi era are a dark stain on human history. Among the many horrors of this period were the medical experiments conducted on concentration camp prisoners by Nazi doctors. One of the most notorious of these doctors was Carl Clauberg, an expert in gynecology who was tasked with developing a method for sterilizing women quickly and inexpensively. Clauberg's experiments were carried out with a callous disregard for human life and dignity, resulting in immeasurable suffering for his victims. The legacy of these experiments continues to shape our understanding of medical ethics, human rights, and the dangers of unchecked power and ideology.  
  The Sterilization Experiments' is not just a recounting of facts; it is a solemn reminder of the depths to which humanity can sink and a call to remember the victims who endured unimaginable suffering. 
  This book is an essential read for those who seek to understand the true cost of hatred and the importance of vigilance against such evils. It challenges us to confront the past and ensure that such atrocities never happen again.
