  WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF ME 
  (Is none of my business) 
  Everyone who has ever walked the face of the earth has at one point felt unworthy, unloved, uninspired, lost, hurt, overwhelmed, angry, scared or frustrated. 
  What if you no longer had to feel this way? 
  What if you could create the life you wanted? 
  What if the words and actions of others had no influence over how you felt? 
  Wouldn’t suicide rates decrease and domestic violence be less of a scourge on society? 
  Nothing in your life is your fault; but everything is your responsibility. 
  Would you hand the controls of a plane over to someone less qualified than you? Then why let other people control how you feel? 
  ---------- 
  Through reading over 900 books on personal development and working with experts like Tony Robbins & Dr John Demartini, J.D Moorea (Dan Shearin) discovered a simple yet effective way to overcome almost any challenge that life threw at him. 
  From seeing himself as a victim of suicide, a co-creator of volatile relationships and being publicly defamed, then wrongly charged with murder, J.D has since found peace and happiness in all areas of his life. He now wants to share his learnings with those who may have lost their way, or feel unsatisfied with their life. 
  If you have ever contemplated suicide, been in a violent relationship, felt unworthy, been bullied, harassed or discriminated against; then this book is for you.

  Public Enemies

  Nobody was ever convicted for the “Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre,” the most famous gangland hit in American history, but it’s an open secret that it was the work of America’s most famous gangster, Al Capone. Indeed, “Scarface” has captured the nation’s popular imagination since Prohibition, managing to be the most notorious gangster in America while living a very visible and high profile life in Chicago. 	In the end, it wasn’t the bodies or the violence that landed Capone in the slammer; it was taxes. After being convicted, Capone managed to continue running his business rackets from behind bars, forcing authorities to move America’s most notorious gangster to America’s most notorious prison on Alcatraz Island.  
  	Two months after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s inauguration in 1933, a petty thief who had spent almost a decade behind bars for attempted theft and aggravated assault was released from jail. By the end of the year, that man, John Dillinger, would be America’s most famous outlaw: Public Enemy Number One. From the time of his first documented heist in early July 1933, until his dramatic death in late July of the following year, he would capture the nation’s attention as had no other outlaw since Jesse James. 
  	The man who became Public Enemy Number One after the deaths of John Dillinger and Pretty Boy Floyd was Lester Joseph Gillis, whose alias “George Nelson” eventually gave way to the nickname “Baby Face Nelson”. Despite the almost playfully innocent nickname, and the fact that he was not as notorious as two of his partners in crime, Dillinger and Floyd, Baby Face Nelson was the worst of them all.  
  While the Barrow Gang was no more murderous than other outlaws of the era, their romantic relationship and the discovery of photographs at one of their hideouts added a more human dimension to Bonnie and Clyde. In some way though, the sensationalized version of their life on the run is less interesting than reality.

  Animal Bodies: On Death Desire...

  How do we reckon with our losses? In Animal Bodies Suzanne Roberts explores the link between death and desire and what it means to accept our own animal natures, the parts we most often hide, deny, or consider only with shame—our taboo desires and our grief. In landscapes as diverse as the Salamanca’s cobbled streets, the Mekong River’s floating markets, Fire Island’s windswept beaches, Nashville’s honky-tonks, and the Sierra Nevada’s snowy slopes, Roberts interrogates her memory and tries to make sense of her own private losses (deaths of people and relationships), as well as more public losses, including a mass shooting in her hometown, environmental devastation in the Amazon rainforest, and wildfire evacuations. 
  With lyricism, insight, honesty, and dark humor, these essays illuminate the sometimes terrible beauty of what it means to be human, deepening the conversation on death and grief, sexuality, and the shame that comes from surviving the world in a female body with all of its complexities. 
  Please note: This collection features writing on sensitive topics for some listeners, including but not limited to abortion, sexual assault, and death resulting from various causes.

  Of the 6,600 paratroopers of the 101st 'Screaming Eagles' Airborne Division who parachuted into France in the early hours of 6 June 1944—D-Day—some 3,500 were listed as missing by midnight that same night. Yet it was only the beginning of their 'rendezvous with destiny.' 
   
   
   
  American Eagles is the remarkable true story of the United States 101st Airborne Division. From their rigorous training in 'Old Jolly' (England) to their first operational jump in Normandy, Charles Whiting tells the story of this 'Band of Brothers', who fought, suffered, and died in the eleven-month campaign that followed. From Normandy and Holland through to the siege of Bastogne and their final triumphant capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest in the Bavarian Alps, we gain a picture of a brave elite division which kept on getting the tough assignments. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on eyewitness accounts, painstaking research, and his own youthful experiences when his regiment was under the command of 101st Airborne in Holland, Whiting delivers a powerful account of each of the 101st's major operations during the European campaign of 1944/45. He brings to life the full horrors of war while shining a spotlight on the courage and determination of the 'Screaming Eagles' and their role in the destruction of the Nazi regime in World War Two.
