  Known to millions as simply "Sister Jean," the Loyola Chicago matriarch and college basketball icon invites you into her remarkable memoir filled with history, wonder, and common-sense wisdom for this century and beyond. As Sister Jean wisely says, "I've seen so many changes in the last 102 years, but the important things remain the same." 
  Part life story, part philosophy text, and part spiritual guide, Sister Jean's wit, wisdom, and common sense has broad appeal and application that transcends religious creed, belief, and even feelings on Loyola's basketball team. 
  Along with her collaborator Seth Davis, an award-winning writer, broadcaster and New York Times best-selling author, Wake Up with Purpose! lets you experience:Sister Jean's words and her spirit.her sharp sense of humor.life lessons gleaned from one hundred years of living.universal themes that connect us all.priceless wisdom. 
  The driving force inside Wake Up with Purpose! is the narrative of Sister Jean's fascinating life--from teaching at a Catholic school during the Second World War to serving on a Chicago college campus in the sixties and beyond to cheering from the sidelines of a men's basketball tournament in March 2018. 
  As you learn about Sister Jean's century-long life, you'll feel just like the Loyola students do when they knock on her office door, plop down in a chair, and ask if she would have time to chat, an activity that she still does daily.

  Triumphs and Tragedies - A True...

  Hermosa Beach, California, in the mid-1960s. Sun, surf, and sand castles along The Strand to a soundtrack of “Fun, Fun, Fun.” But the hang-loose life of the locals was soon being drowned out—by a social storm able to turn even the most perfect wave into a brutal riptide.How do you go from planning vacations and evaluating investments to planning prison visits and evaluating defense pleas? How do you watch your surfer-champion sons turn into drug lords? Inmates? How do you watch your entire family die, one by one?Yet never stop fighting.What does it take to look in the mirror and search for the meaning of enabler? Or face that you’re sacrificing your own livelihood for Scotch? To ride a pounding wave of triumphs and tragedies, and paddle back for more? It takes a rare and special person: Karl McMillen.Karl is America’s hard work ethic. The guy Jefferson said will “determine never to be idle.” Babe Ruth’s “person who never gives up.” His story opens with a panorama of early 20th century California; a last-gasp look at the West before it was settled. When “entitlement” meant you were entitled to work your tail off. Karl’s success epitomizes that the cleanest hands in business are the ones that have smeared the most elbow grease. Karl worked and the system worked. He was said to have the “Golden Touch.”But systems break down. As America’s youth got swept into the deep murkiness of drugs, Karl was in over his head, too. He encountered something his work ethic and Golden Touch couldn’t conquer: Addiction. But he fought to apply his talents to this new subject. Gathering data and analyzing treatments, he uncovered so much.Triumphs and Tragedies explores the psychology of addiction through “voices from the street.” It probes the essence of enabling and the value of “rehabs”—uncommon concepts in the ‘60s. It demonstrates how a perfect life can be traded for pain; but how that pain can translate into a strong antidote against one of society’s greatest ills.

  My Secret Life Vol 9 Chapter 3

  My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.
  
  Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.
  
  Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.
  
  The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.
  
  The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.
