Bipolar General - My Forever War...

USA (Ret) Maj. Gen Gregg F....

Maj. Gen. Gregg Martin cut a striking figure in the Army: athletic, quick witted, devout, and studious, he was a natural leader. Thanks to his engineering and leadership knowhow, Martin was chosen to lead the thousands of combat engineers who paved the way for 100,000 Army troops to battle their way to Baghdad in 2003. Only years later would he learn how the pressure of organizing dozens of simultaneous life-or-death missions each day altered the biochemistry of his brain. The Iraq War triggered what military and Veterans Administration psychiatrists ultimately diagnosed as late-onset bipolar disorder, a chemical imbalance that sends sufferers whipsawing between grandiose imaginings and suicidal depressions. His increasing erratic behavior led to his forced resignation as president of the National Defense University and ended his military career. 
 
 
  
Bipolar General offers a candid account of Martin's personal journey with undiagnosed mental illness as he rose through the ranks of the United States Army. He discusses why his condition went undiagnosed for so long and explores what can be done both within and outside the armed forces to diagnose and treat mental illness. Bipolar General should be of value to those with mental illness and to the communities of family, friends, and caregivers surrounding them.

The Girl Who Cried Love - A...

Lindsay Manfredi

The Girl Who Cried Love: A Pivot to Self-Worth is a raw, unfiltered memoir-meets-manifesto about breaking cycles, letting go of toxic love, and finally coming home to yourself. 
For years, Lindsay Manfredi — bassist for the rock band Cold and author of Unfuckwithable: A Guide to Inspired Badassery — thought confidence and self-worth were the same thing. She wore confidence like armor: smiling through heartbreak, hustling through exhaustion, and chasing love in all the wrong places. But beneath it all was a truth she couldn’t outrun — she didn’t believe she truly deserved the love, respect, and good things she was giving to everyone else. 
In this deeply personal and empowering journey, Lindsay peels back the layers of her own story — from self-sabotage and substance abuse to healing, self-discovery, and reclaiming her worth. With honesty, grit, and moments of laugh-out-loud humor, she offers hope to anyone who has ever: 
* Worn confidence like a mask to hide the cracks underneath 
* Clung to relationships or situations that couldn’t give them what they needed 
* Numbed the pain to survive another day 
* Felt “not enough” no matter what they achieved 
The Girl Who Cried Love is more than a story. It’s an invitation to stop chasing validation and start valuing yourself — exactly as you are. 
If you’ve ever felt lost, unworthy, or stuck in a cycle you can’t break, this book will remind you: you are not broken. You are becoming.

Dennis Murphy - The Visionary...

Dr. Elliott Haimoff

Dennis Murphy is without question the greatest professional sports promoter in U.S. history.  He single-handedly created the American Basketball Association, World Hockey Association, World Team Tennis, Roller Hockey International, and many other professional sports leagues.  Without him, there would be NO San Antonio Spurs winning 4 NBA championships, NO Indiana Pacers, NO Denver Nuggets, NO Brooklyn Nets, as well as NO Edmonton Oilers winning 5 NHL Stanley Cup championships, and NO New England Whalers, creating uncounted thousands of jobs.  The list goes on and on, with dozens of pro sports teams created by Dennis Murphy now worth several billions of dollars.  In fact, without his A.B.A. league showing the value of the 3-point shot, there would be NO 3-point shot in today’s N.B.A.  In addition, without his W.H.A. and R.H.I. leagues, there would be NO sudden-death overtime and 4-on-4 play in today’s N.H.L.  On top of all that, without him ‘making waves’, all pro sports players today might still be forced to stay with their initial draft team, forever.  It is now time to give this man his due credit in sports history.  This unique audiobook includes the actual interviews of Dennis Murphy as he talks about his creations in his own words...!!!  The introduction and epilogue are provided by the long-time LA Lakers announcer, John Ireland.

'The Man in Black' by Oliver...

M. Venkataraman

Oliver Goldsmith was a famous English writer. Among his writings is a prose collection of essays titled “The Citizen of the World”. The “The Man in Black” is a piece of writing from this collection of essays. In this essay, Goldsmith makes a mockery of the then contemporary society. He attacks the social and political situation that dominated during Anglo-Saxon period in England. 
Goldsmith subtly discourages some of the deficiencies of the then society through this article. Through this writing he mocks at the society for exhibiting the trend of showing ‘what you are not’. In a subtle way he ridicules the pretentiousness of the society by portraying a contrasting character. The Man in Black is a character created by Goldsmith for this purpose. The mockery of the then society is exhibited through a routine walk and conversation between the Man in Black and his friend. 
The Man in Black is a very interesting character. He is inconsistent. He does not practice what he preaches. He is a kind, sympathetic, and genial person with a compassionate heart. Outwardly, however, he seems unkind, looking like a rude, curt, and stern person. This is in contrast with his inner personality. Goldsmith is mentioning this man as the ‘Man in Black’ because this man seems black outside but white and noble inside.
