  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.

  Extraordinary leaders share a passionate commitment to achieving their vision that borders and sometimes crosses the line into obsession. All In shows why obsession, if properly focused and managed, is both necessary and productive. 
  Advances in any endeavor almost always depend on a small group of individuals who are completely consumed by the goal they're pursuing. When these leaders and teams are successful, everyone benefits from their obsessive nature. 
  This book?explores the three obsessions underlying the achievements of the greatest leaders: delighting customers, building great products, and creating an enduring company. Author Robert Bruce Shaw takes you inside the success stories of iconic leaders and shows the upside of obsession plus the practices that support it, including Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Elon Musk of Tesla, and Steve Jobs of Apple. 
  In All In, Shaw teaches you why:Amazon's first principle is customer obsession and the behaviors that sustain it as the firm becomes one of the largest in the world.Tesla puts products at the center of everything it does and the leadership approach that created a revolutionary electric car.Steve Jobs' greatest creation was not the Mac or iPhone but Apple the company. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ????  
  Shaw also provides insight into the dark side of obsession and its destructive potential - as vividly illustrated in his case study of Uber's aggressive pursuit of growth during the tenure of CEO Travis Kalanick. 
  Appealing to any reader of entrepreneurial biographies, All In shows individuals, teams and organizations how to manage obsession's downsides while realizing the benefits of relentlessly seeking to create something that truly matters.
