  In a 45-year career as a personal manager, Hollywood agent, producer, and studio head, Bernie Brillstein learned how to survive and prosper in Hollywood. And in Where Did I Go Right?, Brillstein's street-smart, funny, and thoroughly human account of his life in show business, he shares those secrets. With his trademark wit and candor, Bernie speaks out about a number of celebrities and agents. He recounts with pride how he built his impressive stable of clients, discusses his feud with Mike Ovitz, and reveals how he felt after passing on the leadership of his company to his partner, Brad Grey. He also relates stories about Jim Henson, Gilda Radner, and Lorne Michaels during the early days of Saturday Night Live. In this engaging memoir of showbiz life, Brillstein demonstrates one can swim with sharks but doesn't have to be one as he takes us behind the scenes of such hits as The Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters, and The Muppet Show.

  What happens next? After the diagnosis? After the medication? After you learn to live with it, – do you ever? 
  Following on from The Memoir of a Schizophrenic, this is a raw and honest second memoir by Karl Lorenz Willett, which continues to explore life managing schizophrenia while growing older. In a unique style that reflects Karl’s thoughts, A Good Life concentrates on his mental illness, personal struggles, and how faith in a higher power has influenced his journey. 
  Although there is advice that medical practitioners might find helpful, most of Karl’s experiences are meant for his comrades and readers unfamiliar with what living with the illness could entail. Karl offers his unique insights on consciousness, the mind’s eye, theology, sociology, and cosmology. He also focuses on more personal matters, such as relationships and personal growth. 
  Ultimately, A Good Life delivers an inspiring message of hope, resilience, and understanding to its readers. It highlights a healing journey and the overall process of finding balance inside and out, from which anyone can benefit.

  The Viking Saint - Olaf II of...

  The Vikings and sainthood are not concepts normally found side by side. But Norway’s King Olaf II Haraldsson (c. 995-1030) embodied both to an extraordinary degree. As a battle-eager teenager he almost single-handedly pulled down London Bridge (as in the nursery rhyme) and took part in many other Viking raids. Olaf lacked none of the traditional Viking qualities of toughness and audacity, yet his routine baptism grew into a burning missionary faith that was all the more remarkable for being combined with his typically Viking determination and energy – and sometimes ruthlessness as well. His overriding mission was to Christianize Norway and extirpate heathenism. His unstinting efforts, often at great peril to his life, earned him the Norwegian throne in 1015, when he had barely reached his twenties. For the next fifteen years he labored against immense odds to subdue the rebellious heathen nobles of Norway while fending off Swedish hostility. Both finally combined against Olaf in 1030, when he fell bravely in battle not far from Trondheim, still only in his mid-thirties. After his body was found to possess healing powers, and reports of them spread from Scandinavia to Spain and Byzantium, Olaf II was canonized a saint 134 years later. He remains Norway’s patron saint as well as a legendary warrior. Yet more remarkably, he remains a saint not only of the Protestant church but also of the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches – perhaps the only European fighting saint to achieve such acceptance.

  Carlo Acutis - The First...

  Carlo Acutis, born in 1991, fully embraced the gift of life. Known as a computer whiz, he liked to play soccer, video games, and the saxophone. He enjoyed watching his favorite dramas and making short films with his cast of cats and dogs. He had many friends and enjoyed spending time with them. 
   
   
   
  Yet Carlo was a little "different" at school, in the pizzerias, and on the soccer field. What set Carlo apart was his constant pursuit of holiness. He spent time teaching catechism classes and serving in soup kitchens. Carlo loved to attend daily Mass and frequent Eucharistic adoration. The Word of God and the Eucharist were the center of his life. Carlo's unwavering devotion to the Eucharist inspired him to tell the story of Eucharistic miracles through a website he created. He wanted to deepen his own knowledge of these phenomena, to strengthen his devotion to Jesus, and to invite others to grow in love for the Eucharist. The website caught the attention of people across the globe, introducing countless people to Eucharistic miracles. 
   
   
   
  Carlo died from a sudden illness in 2006. In less than a decade, his story spread across Italy and around the world. After Pope Francis declared him venerable in 2018, his beatification was celebrated in Assisi on October 10, 2020. The next step will be canonization, making him the first millennial saint.

  Awop Bop Aloo Mop - Little...

  As much music history as biography, Awop Bop Aloo Mop celebrates "Little" Richard Wayne Penniman, who burst onto the American scene in 1955 with his mega-hit "Tutti Frutti." Almost by himself, Little Richard wrote the anti-rules and poured the concrete for the foundation of a new musical art form he created. Alan Freed would call it "Rock & Roll." Dubbing himself "The Architect of Rock & Roll," Little Richard was known for his wild, flamboyant performances and outrageous costumes. He was one of the first artists to make the androgynous look popular, and his influence could be experienced in the music and performances of Mick Jagger, The Beatles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, James Brown, and David Bowie. But Little Richard also had demons he struggled with throughout his career—his complicated relationship with his sexual orientation, and its effect on his faith. 
   
   
   
  He helped solidify The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Billy Preston, and The Beatles as major acts who used his onstage antics for their success. A terrible car crash sidelined Little Richard for months, causing him to miss his own induction into the first Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 for his contribution to music. But he later appeared in movies, television shows, and tours, showing everyone why he remains the "Originator, the Innovator, and the Architect of Rock & Roll."
