  An entertaining and inspirational memoir by the world’s most popular DIY expert and car aficionado, revealing how Rich Benoit went from buying a left-for-dead Tesla to becoming a successful entrepreneur.   People are fascinated by Tesla: the cars, the stock price, and especially its headline-grabbing CEO.  Rich Benoit was the first YouTuber to pull back the curtain on the cult-like business model that is the Tesla company, and he’s personally battled its consumer-unfriendly business practices. In Going Fast and Fixing Things, Rich provides readers with behind-the-scenes access not only to his Rich Rebuilds YouTube channel but to his off-camera life as well.  Throughout his life, Rich has almost always been the proverbial “only Black guy in the room,” but despite the fact that online car culture—especially electric vehicle fandom—skews overwhelmingly white, he has become the most popular car rebuilding guy on the internet. His voice on the page is funny and intimate and a little goofy—just like his video persona—but always tempered by a passion for the right to repair and a clear determination to create success for himself as well as for his fans. Going Fast and Fixing Things also includes tips to help readers fix, drive, and buy their own cars, along with advice on how to defy the disposable-is-better consumerist ethos that saturates our current culture.

  Shingles - Causes Symptoms...

  Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus responsible for chickenpox. Once a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in nerve tissues and can reactivate years or even decades later, leading to shingles. This condition is characterized by a painful rash that typically appears on one side of the body or face, often in a band-like pattern. While shingles is not a life-threatening illness, it can cause significant discomfort and, in some cases, lead to long-term complications such as postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), a persistent nerve pain that can last for months or even years after the rash has healed. 
  The history of shingles dates back to ancient times, with early descriptions found in medical texts from different cultures. However, it was not until the 20th century that researchers discovered its link to the varicella-zoster virus. The introduction of the chickenpox vaccine in the 1990s significantly reduced the number of new chickenpox cases, which in turn is expected to lower the incidence of shingles over time. Nevertheless, shingles remains a common condition, particularly among older adults and individuals with weakened immune systems. 
  Understanding who is at risk for shingles is essential for prevention and early intervention. While anyone who has had chickenpox can develop shingles, the likelihood increases with age. The immune system naturally weakens as people grow older, making those over the age of 50 particularly vulnerable. Individuals with compromised immune systems, such as those undergoing chemotherapy, people with HIV/AIDS, or patients on long-term immunosuppressive medications, are also at an increased risk. Additionally, factors such as stress, chronic illness, and certain medical conditions can contribute to the reactivation of the virus.

  This story describes my struggle with severe obstructive sleep apnoea and my success in controlling this debilitating condition.  My book begins by discussing what sleep apnoea is and why it is a problem for both the individual and for society. For many decades I was unaware of my condition. I recount those incidents where sleep apnoea regularly impacted my mental and physical health.  
  Many people are unaware of the poor quality of their sleep. In fact, when an apnoea finishes it is accompanied by a gasping inhale which drags the sleeper to near consciousness though they often remains asleep. This explains why it often takes a long time for sleepers to accept that they have an issue which needs to be investigated.  
  My initial denial of my condition leads to treatment by conventional means before learning of a scientifically based method of breathing. The listener is taken down a path of anticipation, hope, despair, resolution and then new hope and symptom resolution. .  
  My story discusses some of the physiological aspects of our respiratory system and the science-based method which enabled me to significantly control the effects of sleep apnoea. 
  The listener will gain a clear insight into the missing pieces from the jigsaw which completed the picture of my respiratory health. 
  The listener will also gain access to pdf. copies of my sleep studies and "before and after" photographs taken over a nine month period.
