Sinossi

Discover the hidden world of those who live—and sometimes die—on the edge. Daredevils: Unmasking the Addicted Risk-Taker plunges into the heart of risk-taking addiction, revealing how an innocent thrill can spiral into a life-consuming compulsion.Ever wondered why some people scale skyscrapers without ropes, race motorcycles at breakneck speed, or chase hurricanes for a shot of adrenaline? In Daredevils, you’ll uncover:The Science of the RushHow brain chemistry transforms everyday moments into powerful highs—and why our own reward pathways can trap us in a cycle of craving, tolerance, and withdrawal.Case Studies & Real-World ExamplesAnonymized, first-hand accounts—from rooftop parkour to storm chasing—show how weekend diversions morph into full-blown addictions, complete with close calls and hard lessons.Warning Signs & Self-ChecksPractical tools like the Risk–Reward Scale, Urge–Outcome Diary, and Life-Balance Audit help you spot subtle red flags—obsession, escalation, withdrawal—and honestly measure your own relationship with danger.The Hidden CostsBeyond bruises and broken bones lie the emotional fallout, strained relationships, legal entanglements, and chronic anxiety that follow unmanaged risk.Why Some Are More VulnerableExplore how genetic predispositions, personality traits like sensation-seeking and impulsivity, and environmental triggers—especially in adolescence—fuel a dangerous appetite for extremes.Treatment & RehabilitationDive into evidence-based pathways: from cognitive-behavioral and dialectical therapies to immersive rehab programs that rebuild balance through controlled adventure, group support, and skill-building.Alternative Therapies & Personal Recovery StoriesBe inspired by creative outlets—art, music, nature immersion—and moving tales of triumph from those who’ve rewritten their futures, channeling their need for novelty into life-affirming pursuits.Prevention & Healthy AlternativesArm yourself with strategies to intercept early warning tremors and redirect urges into structured sports, high-intensity interval training, mindful practices, and community service—proving true exhilaration can exist without courting catastrophe.Filled with cutting-edge research, relatable insights, and a supportive first-person voice, Daredevils doesn’t just explain the biology and psychology of risk addiction—it empowers you to reclaim your freedom. You’ll gain the clarity to safeguard your well-being, the tools to help loved ones break free, and a new vision of adventure grounded in balance and purpose.Don’t let the next adrenaline craving control your life. Step back from the brink, seize control of your story, and discover how to thrive beyond the edge. Grab Daredevils: Unmasking the Addicted Risk-Taker today!

    Donna J. Knight is a God-fearing and God-loving author and motivational speaker. Her testimony will both touch your heart and lift your spirit to new levels. Her recount of being led into a wilderness experience, under the guise of basketball, will evoke tears of sadness and tears of joy. 
    Knight's testimony of how she unconsciously developed a deep and meaningful relationship with God, our Father through the Holy Spirit that fills her from the inside-out, is truly inspirational. 
    Through her philosophical approach, Knight's ability to reflect and share her understanding of her wilderness experience to show how she was spiritually prepared for the passing of her thirteen-year-old son, is remarkable. THE BOY WHO SAW DOUBLE is a homage to her late son Rashard Miles Henry, a talented tennis player, who was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)

    Like taking a private lesson with the best teacher in the world of fishing, this fly-casting guide offers step-by-step instructions to over forty casts. Casting should be nearly effortless. If you understand fly-casting mechanics and how to adapt them to various fishing conditions, your casting will greatly improve. That has been Lefty’s philosophy since he began teaching fly casting over fifty years ago. Lefty shows how to get rid of a tailing loop, throw a slack-line cast, and roll cast better, as well as casts for tight quarters, in wind, casting with weighted flies and lines, and distance casts. A section on the physical movements explains how to prevent injuries to the rotator cuff and elbow. Whether you fish salt water or streams, heavy rods or light, you'll learn everything from small changes in movements that greatly improve your casting to totally new takes on traditional casts from this book. Lefty is the master, and this book captures his lifetime of wisdom on the subject of casting. “Lefty Kreh is well known for his quick smile and sharp wit, his encyclopedic knowledge of knots and tackle, his decades of fly-fishing exploration around the globe, and his remarkable prowess with a fly rod, but his greatest gift to fly fishers is his role as a teacher and mentor.” —John Randolph

    It was never part of Adam Hill's life ambition or his genetic constitution to wear a Speedo in public, let alone compete in a triathlon. For the first three decades of life, he was the poster child for non-athleticism, obsessively unhealthy habits, and an intense fear of...well...everything.Yet at the age of thirty-three, with a physique that could only be described as "Sasquatch with a Dad Bod," he put aside his insecurities and took his first step toward an outrageous dream: to qualify for the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. It was a dream shared by nearly every other triathlete in the world, reserved for the top 1 percent of all athletes in the sport—a sport in which Adam had exactly zero experience.In Shifting Gears, Adam shares his harrowing, inspiring, and sometimes-clumsy story of transformation, from the origins of a debilitating anxiety disorder to his battle with alcoholism to his rise to the top of the triathlon world stage.

    Build Stronger Muscles Bundle, 2 in 1 Bundle: Muscle for Life and Starting StrengthIf you’re like many people, you have a hard time building muscle. You’ve tried every supplement and muscle-building workout routine that promised big, fast gains, but you’re still just as scrawny as the day you decided to start building muscle. There are a few reasons why it’s so hard to build muscle. The first thing that most people do wrong is approach it with the wrong mindset. To put things shortly, in order to build muscle like you want, you need to create a muscle-building lifestyle and really get your head in the game. At that point, muscle-building becomes something more than what you do when you go to the gym. Another misconception is that in order to build muscle and bulk up, the only thing they need to do is lift weights and that's it. If you only lift weights, chances are you would not be getting the results you were looking for. There is so much more involved in bodybuilding than lifting weights. You have to consider nutrition, supplementation, training and a whole lifestyle change.This bundle will teach you about all the essentials in order for you to build muscle mass and keep it that way. Once you have all the information you need, it would help you create a comprehensive plan you can execute. This 2 in 1 bundle includes the following audiobooks:1. Muscle for Life: The Ultimate Guide to Muscle Building, Learn Tips and Expert Advice on How to Build Quality Muscle Mass As Well As The Secrets to Strength Gains2. Starting Strength: The Ultimate Guide on Muscle Building.
