  A spirited dive into the life and career of a performer, writer, and director who dominated twentieth-century American comedy 
   
   
    
  Mel Brooks, born Melvin Kaminsky in Brooklyn in 1926, is one of the great comic voices of the twentieth century. Having won almost every entertainment award there is, Brooks has straddled the line between outsider and insider, obedient and rebellious, throughout his career, making out-of-bounds comedy the American mainstream. 
   
   
    
  Jeremy Dauber argues that throughout Brooks's extensive body of work—from Your Show of Shows to Blazing Saddles to Young Frankenstein to Spaceballs—the comedian has seen the most success when he found a balance between his unflagging, subversive, manic energy and the constraints imposed by comedic partners, the Hollywood system, and American cultural mores. Dauber also explores how Brooks's American Jewish humor went from being solely for niche audiences to an essential part of the American mainstream, paving the way for generations of Jewish (and other) comedians to come.

  In August of 1985, a drunk driver torpedoed through his red light and blasted into my smaller mini truck. Instantly I fell comatose for nine weeks, but the real story is in my tenacity to overcome obstacles in my life that were not there before. 
  As an athlete through school, I succumbed to a life far different than the playing field. Faced with difficulties that were taken for granted, suddenly my world became a battlefield just to survive. I take the reader on a voyage into the unknown disabled community, where I candidly express my emotions. The accident left me vulnerable, which allowed my father in close. We were both too stubborn to show weakness and that kept us apart. 
  My hopes are to share my story and inspire those who are injured everyday, whether it is doctors & nurses or families & friends of those who receive care. I take the reader on a journey where hopefully you can find comfort in one person's survival.

They've had the applause, money, and everything people said they should be living for, only to discover that success as the world understands it is a hamster wheel--an exhausting chase that leads to emptiness. 
  In Designed to Succeed, Kevin and Donovan challenge our deeply held notions about success. They reconceptualize what it means to be a high performer, showing us that it is sustainable only in partnership with God, who designed each of us with gifts and a purpose. In Designed to Succeed, you will discover:How to break free from false identities and performance traps so you can experience a fulfilled lifeHow to develop a practical framework for aligning your decisions and desires with your God-given purposeHow to balance ambition with authenticity to attain a deeper, truer, sustainable success

It begins when you align with God, embracing the unique purpose he designed you for. Only then can you get off the hamster wheel. When you do, you will step into authentic, enduring success that will leave you fulfilled, empowered, and energized for all that is to come.
