    The first autobiography from legendary Welsh rugby player George North 
    George North is a true legend of Welsh rugby, an integral part of the national team for fourteen years. 
    Recently retired from the international game, he is the third-most-capped player in Welsh history with 121 Test appearances, the youngest player ever to reach 100 caps, and the second-highest try scorer with 47. 
    At club level, he has played for the Scarlets, Northampton and Ospreys, and latterly Provence in France. 
    North is open, charismatic, thoughtful but hugely competitive, and this is the first time he has reflected on his extraordinary career. Co-written with the brilliant sportswriter Tom Fordyce, this autobiography is an utterly compelling and enthralling retrospective, taking in George’s life growing up in Anglesey on the North Welsh coast, before he burst onto the scene when he became the youngest player ever to score a try on his debut aged just 18. 
    Full of heart and passion, George’s story is a uniquely inspirational insight into the art, mastery and sheer force of the game of rugby. 
    In his latest memoir, George North takes us on a journey through his life and career. From his upbringing in the regional setting of North Welsh coast to his rise to the top of the rugby world, this non-fiction account is a testament to his passion for the game and his relentless pursuit of excellence.

    Director of Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer and producer/star of the seminal documentary about January 6, Capitol Punishment, Nick's story of following his heart to become a professional actor and following his conscience and faith to stand up for what he believed—even though it might have cost him the career he built—will be an inspiration to you—and make you laugh along the way. 
     
     
     
    Actor, director, producer, writer, wrestling manager, guest columnist, stand-up comic, filmmaker, and one of the meanest Twitter people ever, Nick Searcy is a unique voice of common sense in today's culture.

    Disclaimer: This is NOT the Official Book; This is a Summary & it DOES NOT Accompany the Official Book! 
    In our summary book "Easy Money" by Ben McKenzie, known for his roles in The O.C. and Gotham, describes his entry into the world of cryptocurrency. Despite his economics degree, McKenzie initially found himself attracted to the allure of decentralization, potential societal improvement, and the fear of missing out on a lucrative opportunity. 
    However, as he scratched beneath the surface, he began to question the validity and sustainability of cryptocurrency, prompting the question, "Is this all a total scam?" In a bid to answer this question, McKenzie and Silverman embark on an enlightening investigation into the world of cryptocurrency. 
    "Easy Money" weaves together various narratives including stories of regular traders and victims, vibrant crypto evangelists, Hollywood’s most steadfast believers, whistleblowers against crypto, and government agents striving to find solutions at the brink of a major crash. 
    This summary book provides an up-close view of what the authors argue is a reckless convergence of irresponsibility and criminal fraud, potentially far more devastating than Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme or the 2008 housing bubble. This riveting narrative serves as a stark warning and an eye-opening account for anyone enticed by the promises of cryptocurrency.

    'One evening, when I was headed for dinner with my British girlfriend Ellen, news of her presence spread like wildfire through the entire squad on tour. A senior national selector, who was on tour with us, spotted us walking in the lobby with our hands linked. It didn't even occur to me that I should let go of her hand, because to me that was no crime. There was a good chance that if I had performed consistently on that Australia tour, I would have made it to the senior Indian side, but my performance kept dipping.' 
    Flamboyant, maverick, charismatic these are some words one would use to describe Shikhar Dhawan.  
    One of the most aggressive and stylish batsmen in modern cricket, Dhawan has been behind some of India's most iconic victories. In The One, Dhawan takes readers on the incredible journey of his life. Growing up in the intensely competitive cricketing scene of Delhi, Dhawan started out as a wicketkeeper but later transitioned to an opening batsman, a move that would define his career. 
    Off the field, Dhawan's life has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride, and he bares it all in this memoir. How did a bar conversation with a former cricketer help Dhawan improve his batting. What made him visit an astrologer while he was still a teenager trying to make it big in cricket. Why was he dropped for two years from the India A team for no apparent reason? From his relationships to his friendships, to all the controversies surrounding him, this is a no holds barred account of how Dhawan handled every curveball that life threw at him while performing and winning at the highest level for India. 
    Written with candour and sincerity, The One offers an unprecedented glimpse into Shikhar Dhawan's inner monologue and all the vulnerabilities that have shaped him into the champion cricketer and sensitive human being he is today. Raw and powerful, this is a story that will stay with readers and fans for a long time.

    Few of us end up living our passion in the way that Billy Thompson does, but there is something so pure and single-minded about the way he lives his life, that is so utterly selfless and principled, so relentlessly optimistic, and decent in defiance of appalling cruelty, that you can’t help feeling better about the world because you know there are people like Billy in it. Ultimately this book is about kindness and that is what Billy Thompson is all about. Kindness, compassion and seeing the joy in all life. His tales are captivating and engaging, with Billy’s charm and humour running across every page. The intensity of Billy’s passion has caused him to lead a rich, varied and unorthodox life which is a joy to discover. This book is a collection of often hilarious anecdotes that illustrate just how gratifying rescuing animals can be.

    In "Leading with Love," Connie Delaney and I, Shelagh Klein, present our heartfelt message, crafted not through AI technology, but from the depths of our heads, hearts, and real-life experiences. This book is a testament to the transformative power of love, written with the conviction that infusing love into our daily conversations can indeed change the world for the better. 
    "Leading with Love" is not just a book; it's a journey into the heart of what it means to connect with one another and our world. It offers hope and a practical roadmap for fostering love and oneness in our lives. Delaney and I share our vision of a world where unity is not just a concept, but a lived reality, recognizing our profound interconnectedness with all beings and the cosmos. 
    We believe that by embodying love in our actions and embracing oneness, we can collectively elevate our consciousness, leading to a more harmonious, sustainable, and loving world. The book is filled with personal stories, practical advice, and inspiring examples, guiding readers through a process of self-discovery and communal awakening. 
    In a time where division and fear are often magnified, "Leading with Love" provides a counter-narrative of hope and unity. It encourages readers to embrace love and oneness in everyday life, challenging them to look beyond differences and act with compassion and empathy. 
    This book is more than a guide; it's an invitation to join a movement of positive change. It reminds us that transforming our world starts with individual acts of love, radiating outwards to reshape the future of our planet and beyond. 
    For those who wish to connect further and explore these concepts in a digital space, you are invited to engage with my digital twin at Conniedelaney.com, where the journey of leading with love continues.
