“This riveting account will leave readers questioning every odd relative they’ve known.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Olsen presents the story chronologically and in a simple, straightforward style, which works well: it is chilling enough as is.” —Booklist“A true-crime tour de force.” —Steve Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of No Stone Unturned“Even the most devoted true-crime reader will be shocked by the maddening and mind-boggling acts of horror that Gregg Olsen chronicles in this book. Olsen has done it again, giving readers a glimpse into a murderous duo that’s so chilling, it will have your head spinning.

William Phelps, New York Times bestselling author“We all start life with immense promise, but in our first minute, we cannot know who’ll ultimately have the greatest impact on our lives, for better or worse.

After a decade detour into novels, Gregg Olsen is back with a dark tale of nonfiction from the Pacific Northwest that will keep you awake long after the lights have gone out.

Classic true crime in the tradition of In Cold Blood and The Stranger Beside Me.” —James Renner, author of True Crime Addict“This nightmare walked on two legs and some of her victims called her mom.

An Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestseller.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Gregg Olsen’s shocking and empowering true-crime story of three sisters determined to survive their mother’s house of horrors.

After more than a decade, when sisters Nikki, Sami, and Tori Knotek hear the word mom, it claws like an eagle’s talons, triggering memories that have been their secret since childhood. Until now.

For years, behind the closed doors of their farmhouse in Raymond, Washington, their sadistic mother, Shelly, subjected her girls to unimaginable abuse, degradation, torture, and psychic terrors. Through it all, Nikki, Sami, and Tori developed a defiant bond that made them far less vulnerable than Shelly imagined. Even as others were drawn into their mother’s dark and perverse web, the sisters found the strength and courage to escape an escalating nightmare that culminated in multiple murders.

Harrowing and heartrending, If You Tell is a survivor’s story of absolute evil—and the freedom and justice that Nikki, Sami, and Tori risked their lives to fight for. Sisters forever, victims no more, they found a light in the darkness that made them the resilient women they are today—loving, loved, and moving on.

Don't waste your money. Sick book about sick people, protected by more sick, irresponsible people. I had no idea that this book would go into such morbid detail. Nor can I understand who this book was directed at? I read less than one quarter of it, trying to see where it was leading, but it just rambled on and on including every horrible act that any person could ever do to another human being. Adults who saw what was happening but chose to do nothing and were then surprised when more terrible things happened? Right! (I.e., A teenager just for the attention, falsely accuses her father of raping her. And then the father, when proven innocent, and who was supposedly devastated, just drops the whole episode and continues to think of her and treat her as his "special little princess" - even as he watches her grow older and lie about and physically abuse others, including (and especially) her own children. She goes through three "shy, caring and once wonderful" (!) husbands who end up being afraid of her too, and they also watch her brutally torture, and actually end up helping her abuse their children. And then there's the mother of this insane women, who witnessed all this but just wasn't sure exactly what to do to stop everything! It's crazy!) I believe the author - that the story is actually true. I believe that there are ignorant irresponsible insane people in the world. But I do not need to read page after page of details of those who allow insane people to destroy the lives of innocent children year after year. It's those who stand by and allow this kind of torture to continue that are the real criminally insane in my opinion. For what it's worth, the writing/grammar in the book itself was way below par. But maybe it's to be expected from the level of education of someone who would hope to make a profit from this kind of "entertainment." Don't waste your time or money. I regret that this book exists for those who are already sick and might be searching for this kind of brutal imagery.A similar story is mine. I am in my 50's and have been telling my story for the first time ever in therapy. I relate to understanding yet not understanding why I didn't seek help or why I stayed loyal, feeling obligated to "not wanting to hurt" my parents by letting out the secret. I have been moving from victim to survivor through engagement in intense (and many times scary) therapy sessions. I am grateful to have support from 1 of my 3 siblings who also acknowledges the crazy childhood. Though this book was intermittently intense to read, I know that others would understand my story. Thank you Nikki, Sami and Tori for sharing. RIP Kathy, Shane and Ron.Sadistic, dark and Vengeful Mother! You Can't Put it Down! Shelly was Sadistic, Dark and Vengeful from the time she was a young girl and it carried on as an adult and sadly as a Mother as well. Could her Sadistic personality disorder been inherited from her Grandmother? You Can't Put this Book Down but at times you don't want to read anymore! Gregg Did a great job, hooking the reader right from the beginning and he takes you on an emotional roller coaster through tragedies and the lives of three sisters and their Mother Shelly. Fantastic True Life Crime that takes place in Washington State!

A Beginner's Guide to the End Download

Title: A Beginner's Guide to the End Pdf Practical Advice for Living Life and Facing Death
Author: BJ Miller
Published Date: 2019-07-16
Page: 544

“The combined wisdom of a legendary hospice physician together with a journalist and experienced caregiver makes this book feel like a loving friend who is by our side with practical advice on the medical, legal, logistical, and emotional aspects of an event that awaits us all. This is a book that every family should have, the equivalent of Dr. Spock but for this other phase of life.” — Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone “A Beginner’s Guide to the End is honest, funny, luminous, and essential. Full of real-world advice and hard-won insight, it’s a practical guide to dying that is actually much more about living.” — Lucy Kalanithi, author of the epilogue to When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi“A gentle, knowledgeable guide to a fate we all share.” — The Washington Post “Miller and Berger, through their honesty and deep experience, help us to live the best life possible with a serious illness. This is a beautiful, poignant, expert, and human handbook for all of us.”  — Susan Block, MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Medicine, Harvard Medical School“I wish I’d had this book when I needed it. Death and dying are not subjects that many people are comfortable talking about, but it’s hugely important to be as prepared as you can be—emotionally, physically, practically, financially, and spiritually. This book may be the most important guide you could have.” — Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love“‘You know what would be fun today? Reading a book about death,’ said no one ever. So you can imagine my surprise when I opened these pages and found myself smiling on the first one. BJ Miller and Shoshana Berger have done something impressive: they’re written a book about dying that’s not only moving and practical, but also delightful to read.” — Adam Grant, co-author of Option B and author of Give and Take and Originals“When it comes to the final journey, we are all beginners. Navigating the complexities of serious illness requires grace and grit. With elegant simplicity and tender, earthy honesty, this beginner’s guide explains how to prepare, what possible routes you might take, mis-turns to avoid, and the beauty you might see along the way.” — Ira Byock, MD, Founder & Chief Medical Director, Institute for Human Caring“There are many times in my personal life and my medical education when I could have used this book. In their clear and compelling guide, Miller and Berger help us understand how to approach one of the most important but least understood phases of our life. Their honest reflections and sharp insights will change lives for the better.”  — Vivek Murthy, MD, former Surgeon General of the United States“If you are sure you would never read a book about how to face death, especially long before you need it, A Beginner’s Guide to the End: Practical Advice for Living Life and Facing Death just might convince you it wouldn’t be bad to have on the shelf... The book blends practical information with compassionate advice for facing our own death or the death of a loved one.” — Next Avenue BJ Miller, MD, is a hospice and palliative medicine physician who has worked in many settings—inpatient, outpatient, hospice facility, and home—and now sees patients and families at the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. Miller speaks all over the country and beyond on the theme of living well in the face of death. He has been profiled in The New York Times and interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, Tim Ferriss, and Krista Tippett.Shoshana Berger is the editorial director at IDEO, where she has worked on projects ranging from the end of life to modern Judaism to school lunch. She was a senior editor at WIRED, and has written for the New York Times, Fast Company, Time, WIRED, Popular Science, Marie Claire, and Quartz. She cofounded the DIY design magazine, ReadyMade, later turning it into a book, Ready Made: How to Make (Almost) Everything.

“A gentle, knowledgeable guide to a fate we all share” (The Washington Post): the first and only all-encompassing action plan for the end of life.

“There is nothing wrong with you for dying,” hospice physician B.J. Miller and journalist and caregiver Shoshana Berger write in A Beginner’s Guide to the End. “Our ultimate purpose here isn’t so much to help you die as it is to free up as much life as possible until you do.”

Theirs is a clear-eyed and big-hearted action plan for approaching the end of life, written to help readers feel more in control of an experience that so often seems anything but controllable. Their book offers everything from step-by-step instructions for how to do your paperwork and navigate the healthcare system to answers to questions you might be afraid to ask your doctor, like whether or not sex is still okay when you’re sick. Get advice for how to break the news to your employer, whether to share old secrets with your family, how to face friends who might not be as empathetic as you’d hoped, and how to talk to your children about your will. (Don’t worry: if anyone gets snippy, it’ll likely be their spouses, not them.) There are also lessons for survivors, like how to shut down a loved one’s social media accounts, clean out the house, and write a great eulogy.

An honest, surprising, and detail-oriented guide to the most universal of all experiences, A Beginner’s Guide to the End is “a book that every family should have, the equivalent of Dr. Spock but for this other phase of life” (New York Times bestselling author Dr. Abraham Verghese).

A valuable resource and a must read What a thoughtful, thorough, meaningful book and resource. It treats a delicate subject with an extraordinarily loving yet practical tone. It is like having a good friend there to answer any and all questions. It is recommended both to start thinking about this topic abstractly and as a practical guide as we face this time of life. Thanks for providing such a great resource and writing such a great book!Extraordinary! This book is long overdue and urgently needed as we grapple with the issue of death and dying, while trying to live life to the fullest. It's clear, comprehensive and covered every aspect of this phase of life. It's both a great read now and as a reference manual as needed. The stories are poignant, compassionate and convey a deep understanding of the issues.Thank you, BJ and Shoshana.Very practical! This is a “must-have“ book for any and all.

Magic Hour Free Pdf

ISBN: 0345467531
Title: Magic Hour Pdf A Novel
Author: Kristin Hannah
Published Date: 2007-11
Page: 469

“One of [Kristin Hannah’s] most compelling and riveting novels.”—Booklist Kristin Hannah is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of many acclaimed novels, including The Great Alone, The Nightingale, and Fly Away. She and her husband live in the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone comes an incandescent story about the resilience of the human spirit, the triumph of hope, and the meaning of home.
 
In the rugged Pacific Northwest lies the Olympic National Forest—nearly a million acres of impenetrable darkness and impossible beauty. From deep within this old growth forest, a six-year-old girl appears. Speechless and alone, she offers no clue as to her identity, no hint of her past.
 
Having retreated to her western Washington hometown after a scandal left her career in ruins, child psychiatrist Dr. Julia Cates is determined to free the extraordinary little girl she calls Alice from a prison of unimaginable fear and isolation. To reach her, Julia must discover the truth about Alice’s past—although doing so requires help from Julia’s estranged sister, a local police officer. The shocking facts of Alice’s life test the limits of Julia’s faith and strength, even as she struggles to make a home for Alice—and for herself.
 
“One of [Kristin Hannah’s] most compelling and riveting novels.”—Booklist

Fun read, not as good as others, rather trite This was a really fun read, and I had it read in about a day and a half (yay for a snow day!). However, the book left me with a bit of disappointment, and it was not as rewarding as reading, say, “The Great Alone” by the same author. While the plot was quite unique, the actual characters seemed trite. Typical “gorgeous sisters” and “jaw droppingly handsome men” involved, here. The romances involved were also trite and predictable, with a bedroom scene thrown in for good measure. Both “handsome men” had unrealistically emotional roles in these romances.The actual “wild child” storyline was interesting, although I also felt there were a few parts that seemed unrealistic. There was a nice bit of twist at the end so the entire story wasn’t entirely predictable. I did like that her story was based on an interesting subject that had it’s roots in realism, and I liked how parts of the story were from the child’s point of view.Overall the book was fun to read, but it didn’t stand out to me as a favorite, and it often felt corny and trite. I feel like the subject matter could have gone from good to amazing if the characterization would have been done a bit differently. Still. it made for a relaxing snow day read.Predictable but the reader remains engaged throughout the novel. I gave this book five stars despite its predictability. The author clearly understands the subtle nuances of interpersonal interactions. This adds a reality to her characters as the reader identified with attributes of the protagonists. The subject matter of the book is atypical, which adds to its appeal.A book to get involved in. Magic Hour was a good book with great characters and content that makes you think a bit in that "what do I think?" fashion. It is interesting to focus on the characters and how they develop. They are good role models that remind us that we are not done until we are done! I felt that the situation was somewhat predictable although it did have a detour that I wasn't expecting. I enjoyed it and would certainly read more of her work.

It's Garry Shandling's Book Pdf

ISBN: 0525510842
Title: It's Garry Shandling's Book Pdf
Author: Judd Apatow
Published Date: 2019
Page: 472

Judd Apatow is one of the most important comic minds of his generation. He wrote and directed the films The 40-Year-Old Virgin (co-written with Steve Carell), Knocked Up, Funny People, and This Is 40; he directed Trainwreck; and his producing credits include Superbad, Bridesmaids, and Anchorman. Apatow was also the executive producer of Freaks and Geeks and HBO’s Girls, and he created Undeclared and co-created the Emmy Award-winning television program The Ben Stiller Show. He is the author of Sick in the Head and editor of the collection I Found This Funny. Judd Apatow lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Leslie Mann, and their two daughters, Maude and Iris. INTRODUCTIONBy Judd ApatowWhen Garry died suddenly we were all lost. I am a hoarder. I try to hold on to everything. My first instinct was to hoard Garry. He had always been my mentor, my friend, and my greatest inspiration in creativity and life. He was not a perfect man, but he was always trying to reach the next level. When I was a young man he handed me a Buddhist book called Catching a Feather on a Fan, and it brought spirituality into my life for the first time. I dealt with this loss by refusing to let go of any of Garry. I am pretty sure that goes against all of the tenets of Buddhism.Garry had a large home that he built himself and was never entirely comfortable in. The joke with his friends was how he always complained about it. He would hire people to draw up designs about how to fix it, and then would never like them enough to actually move forward. When I entered his house to help deal with his material possessions, I wondered what I would find. He never seemed like the kind of person who kept anything. I didn’t see him as sentimental. I remember one year, way before streaming, I got him every episode of Inside the Actors Studio on VHS for his birthday. As I handed it to him, I realized he would never watch it and wondered what black hole it would disappear into.When I first went through his office it seemed like there wasn’t much to deal with, barely a personal photo. All of his awards were in a trophy case he had built next to his washer and dryer. He had a loft above an office next to his garage that had some boxes from his TV-series days.It felt like he was living his Buddhist life, not holding on to the past, trying to live in the moment. Then I opened a closet and found a stack of boxes. I soon realized that Garry kept everything. He seemed to just chuck items into boxes, then put them in closets and never look at them again. I opened one and found a box of letters Garry had written to his college-era girlfriend. Someone told me that after she died, her parents sent them to Garry. I opened another box and found letters to his parents, his earliest joke notebooks, and reel-to-reel tapes of a young Garry performing his earliest stand-up act alone into a tape recorder.It went on and on, box after box. His house had no family photos displayed, but there was a box of hundreds of childhood photographs perfectly preserved.The most important find was a trunk that contained all of his journals since 1978. I quietly debated whether or not I should read them. Twenty seconds later I started reading them. I was afraid I would lose respect for him if I knew all his secrets and deepest feelings. What I discovered was that he was an even better person than I had realized. Decade after decade I just read about a man struggling to figure out how to be more open and loving. There were some details about conflicts with friends, girlfriends, and work associates, but the vast majority of his writings were reminders to himself about the man he wanted to be. In his private thoughts he would constantly remind himself to let go of his ego and to seek evolution as a person. He also had a lot of amazing jokes, many of which never saw the light of day.In the years before his death he had considered projects that would be based on these journals. I took that as meaning that Garry knew there was wisdom in his journey, which he wanted to share with others. People who have seen our documentary, The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling, told me how impactful his diary entries were to them. Some even took photos of the screen.This book is the final major Garry Shandling project. I am very honored to be a part of excavating photos, jokes, journals, script pages, interviews, and anything that I thought would help illuminate this fascinating, brilliant, and kind man. This is the ultimate hoarding of Garry. I hope you enjoy it.

From Judd Apatow comes an intimate portrait of his mentor, the legendary stand-up comic and star of The Larry Sanders Show, with never-before-seen journal entries and photos, as well as new contributions by fellow comedians and writers.

Garry Shandling was a singular trailblazer in the comedy world. His two hit shows, It’s Garry Shandling’s Show and The Larry Sanders Show, broke new ground and influenced future sitcoms like 30 Rock and Curb Your Enthusiasm, and his stand-up laid the foundation for a whole new generation of comics. There’s no one better to tell Shandling’s story than Judd Apatow—Shandling gave Apatow one of his first jobs and remained his mentor for the rest of his life—and the book expands on Apatow’s Emmy Award-winning HBO documentary, The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling.

Here, Apatow has gathered journal entries, photographs, and essays for a close-up look at the artist who turned his gaze back onto the world of show business. Beyond his success, though, Shandling struggled with fame, the industry of art, and the childhood loss of his brother, which forever affected his personal and professional lives. His diaries show Shandling to be self-aware and insightful, revealing a deep philosophical and spiritual side. Contributions by comedians and other leading lights of the industry, as well as people who grew up with Shandling, along with never-before-seen pieces of scripts and brilliant jokes that he never performed, shed new light on every facet of his life and work. This book is the final word on the lasting impact of the great Garry Shandling.

If you’re a fan of Garry Shandling, this is a book you will treasure forever ❤️ “It’s Garry Shandling’s Book” is a collection of all things Garry. His good buddy and creative partner, Jay Apatow, has put together a massive assortment, (this book is in excess of 450 pages), pictures, hand written notes, (that are scribbled on napkins, pieces of paper, journal entries, calendar pages), tickets, passes, scripts, annotations...Just about anything you can imagine finding in the office of this comedic genius is included in the pages of this tome.It’s really hard to say much about the writing style because so much of the book feels like Garry is talking or it’s like watching a really long episode of “The Larry Sanders Show” - pure fabulousness! Apatow includes insights from contemporaries of Shandling’s; he was well respected and the list of folks he helped open doors for was enlightening and their words heartfelt. These walk-of-famers add to the pictorial prowess that makes this book something special.The real heart and soul of this volume is Garry’s brother, Barry, who passed away in their childhood from Cystic Fibrosis. This traumatic event so profoundly effected Garry that is colored the remainder of his life and humor stylings. He was very much the persona we saw on the tv, in his personal life, a bit shy, intensely personal and fiercely loyal to his friends and family.“It’s Garry Shandling’s Book” is the perfect gift, not only for his fans but also for those with an affinity for comedy, classic TV or a fine, feel good memoir 🎄🎁❤️🎁🎄📚BRAVO Judd Apatow. A Beautiful Scrapbook of Garry’s Life and Portrait of a Wonderful Human Being BRAVO Judd Apatow... The documentary series on Garry's life was beautiful and insightful as to what an incredible human Garry was. The book is like having a part of Garry in my home, and I'm grateful to Judd for sharing with us his (Garry's) thoughts/notes on life, love, and puzzle pieces of his life whether or not they all fit perfectly. He was an amazing human being and I appreciate that Judd dedicated a part of his own life to share with all of us who Garry was behind the mask of a comedian. I always loved Garry's comedy and through Judd's work, I will always feel an even deeper connection to him. Thank you, Judd... It's a beautiful book full of notes and amazing photographs.Not Exactly Kindle-Friendly The Kindle version of this book is difficult to read because Garry Shandling's handwriting isn't all that legible as it is, let alone in a non-print format. I ended up returning the Kindle version for this reason, it was too difficult to read the scrapbook-type notes. I'll likely try to pick this up at the library to read a hard copy version.

The Golden Compass Free Pdf

ISBN: B0000W6SPE
Title: The Golden Compass Pdf His Dark Materials, Book 1

***Coming soon! A new HBO series, His Dark Materials, based on Pullman's Books***

The modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an "All-Time Greatest Novel" and Newsweek hailed as a "Top 100 Book of All Time". 

Philip Pullman takes listeners to a world where humans have animal familiars and where parallel universes are within reach.

Lyra is rushing to the cold, far North, where witch clans and armored bears rule. North, where the Gobblers take the children they steal - including her friend Roger. North, where her fearsome uncle Asriel is trying to build a bridge to a parallel world.

Can one small girl make a difference in such great and terrible endeavors? This is Lyra: a savage, a schemer, a liar, and as fierce and true a champion as Roger or Asriel could want.

But what Lyra doesn't know is that to help one of them will be to betray the other....

A masterwork of storytelling and suspense, Philip Pullman's award-winning The Golden Compass is the first in the His Dark Materials series, which continues with The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass.

A Number One New York Times Best Seller

Winner of the Guardian Prize for Children's Fiction

Published in 40 Countries

"Arguably the best juvenile fantasy novel of the past 20 years." (The Washington Post)

"Very grand indeed." (The New York Times)

"Pullman is quite possibly a genius." (Newsweek)

A Worthy Read For Younger AND Older Readers This book seems to be written for a younger audience, and I have no doubt that preteens and up could read it without difficulty, but at the same time I feel that a lot of the themes and the nuance could go over the heads of younger readers. The use of accents, speech patterns, dress, and behavior to denote class, the writing of younger characters to think and behave as young people would and do while still keeping things moving forward at a good pace and keeping things both exciting and logical, the politics and relationships between adult characters: these things may be appreciated much more by adult readers than their younger counterparts. This is definitely a book which can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages. Twists and turns are difficult puzzles, but there are enough clues that a younger detective could still see what's coming if they're paying attention. The plot is thrilling, often intense, moving, and fascinating. The cultural standards surrounding daemons alone could make up their own encyclopedia. Some have claimed this book to be religious in nature, but while it does *deal* with religion quite a bit, I do not find it to be in any way advocating for any particular faith. If anything it warns against the nature of organized religion to become corrupt (without demonizing the religion itself). If you are concerned about the nature of the 'daemon' characters, be aware that the term is used in the old Greek sense more so than the 'different spelling for demon' sense; 'a supernatural being of a nature between gods and humans'. They are loosely intended to be an external version of the soul or spirit, not anything evil or bad. Be warned, though: this book does include terrible things happening to children, and several deaths. Younger children may find it frightening or upsetting. If you give this to your child be prepared to sit down with them and discuss the book when they are finished reading.5 Reasons To Read His Dark Materials One of the most famous and beloved fantasy book trilogies you can think of. One that has been tried to adapt into a movie, but it failed, as some things (okay, most things!) are probably best left in book form. It’s so epic, I can only compare it to Harry Potter. If you haven’t read it yet, let me see if I can remedy that!★★★★★ Endless number of starsHis Dark Materials is a sweeping epic that tells of a story bigger than you can imagine, but it’s also a story told through the smallest characters – a story of a world, the fate of which lies in the hands of children. In a way, it’s all about the fight between good and evil, wisdom and darkness, but not in your usual fantasy sense. This is more philosophical than you might have expected it to be, but it’s also so imaginative, so full of adventure and unbelievable details, that you’ll never get bogged down with any of the philosophy. It’s a series that you can eat through a week – no matter how long the books actually are. You won’t sleep, if you have to.Reason #1.Don’t You Just Wish Your Cat Was Your Daemon??Daemons are talking animals that are… curiously, they’re part of you. They’re kind of your spirit animal, which also makes up part of your soul. It’s incredibly interesting, cute, and it goes so well with the story! You can talk to it, it will help you and defend you, and even if you’re utterly and completely alone, it will be your companion. It’s likely that by the end of the series, you will find yourself trying to figure out what your daemon would look like. Or maybe even does look like. (more on why I say that – in the actual book!)Reason #2.There Are Wonders And MysteriesObviously, it wouldn’t be cool if I just gave it away to you, now would it. But let me just tell you that there are worlds to explore. That there are reasons the entire world is falling, and you need to find them out. And the reasons are all pretty grand as well. It’s not your typical overused YA tropes either, for example – oh, this or that super power has just decided to thwart the main character and their family, and you need a special snowflake to fix it. No, it’s far better than that! That said, the main character (who is a little girl) IS special, and she’s IS key to the saving of the world, but she’s no special snowflake. We’re getting to that in the next point.Reason #3.The Characters Have Flaws, They’re Not PerfectHaving imperfect characters is great! Especially so, because it prevents the aforementioned ‘special snowflake’ syndrome. The main female character, Lyra, is as flawed as can be – she lies, she’s not loyal, she’s subject to other people’s manipulation. She is also ridiculously dramatic, and it’s maintained throughout the entire series in the way she talks (I specifically loved that!). The main male character Will is also a great character. He’s strong willed and he’s trustable, but he can also be ruthless, hard and cold. Both of them symbolize many things, but typical special snowflakes they are not. As for symbolizing? We get to point 4…Reason #4.The SymbolismThis story has layers upon layers of symbolism, mostly to do with mythologies, or namely – Christian mythologies, exposing them quite ruthlessly at times. This is magical and super interesting, merging religious symbolism with scientific fantasy (is that.. a thing, scientific fantasy..?), and weaving together a magical build of the world, of the universe. I will not tell you what the main characters (and many others) symbolize, because that would take away from your pleasure of discovering it yourself. However, if you are religious (not only Christian, basically, any religion that is based on a single deity) – be warned, as this book might seem controversial to you. It’s not kind to organized religion. You need an open mind to read it. If you are religious, and still really want to read it (which you should!), I suggest remembering that this is just fiction and it’s an invented world.Reason #5.The FeelsThis series ends with a bad case of the feels. As bad as it gets. But it’s also the kind of feels you want in a book! Basically, the kind of feels we all read books for. But please, prepare napkins.

How to Talk to Anyone Free Pdf

ISBN: B013GXDRKC
Title: How to Talk to Anyone Pdf 92 Little Tricks for Big Success in Relationships

"You'll not only break the ice, you'll melt it away with your new skills." -Larry King

"The lost art of verbal communication may be revitalized by Leil Lowndes." -Harvey McKay, author of How to Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive

What is that magic quality that makes some people instantly loved and respected? Everyone wants to be their friend (or, if single, their lover). In business, they rise swiftly to the top of the corporate ladder. What is their "Midas touch?"

What it boils down to is a more skillful way of dealing with people.

The author has spent her career teaching people how to communicate for success. In her book How to Talk to Anyone, Lowndes offers 92 easy and effective sure-fire success techniques - she takes the listener from first meeting all the way up to sophisticated techniques used by the big winners in life. In this information-packed audiobook you'll find:

  • 9 ways to make a dynamite first impression
  • 14 ways to master small talk, "big talk," and body language
  • 14 ways to walk and talk like a VIP or celebrity
  • 6 ways to sound like an insider in any crowd
  • 7 ways to establish deep subliminal rapport with anyone
  • 9 ways to feed someone's ego (and know when NOT to!)
  • 11 ways to make your phone a powerful communications tool
  • 15 ways to work a party like a politician works a room
  • 7 ways to talk with tigers and not get eaten alive

In her trademark entertaining and straight-shooting style, Leil gives the techniques catchy names so you'll remember them when you really need them, including: "Rubberneck the Room," "Be a Copyclass," "Come Hither Hands," "Bare Their Hot Button," "The Great Scorecard in the Sky," and "Play the Tombstone Game," for big success in your social life, romance, and business.

How to Talk to Anyone, which is an update of her popular book, Talking the Winner's Way (see the 5-star reviews of the latter) is based on solid research about techniques that work!

By the way, don't confuse How to Talk to Anyone with one of Leil's previous books, How to Talk to Anybody About Anything. This one is completely different!

This review is just for the Kindle book. It ... This review is just for the Kindle book. It was scanned in badly and has so many spelling errors in it that it's completely unreadable. It has at least one spelling error per sentence. I'm stuck with it since there's no possibility of a refund, but learn from my mistake!Wonderful, however, not all relevant to a college student. I struggle with talking to others; specifically: talking to those who don't know me well, or share my interests. (Which is most of whom I find myself speaking to) To me, many of the tips in the book feel like common sense, but are things I fail to do nonetheless. They are things I have to see in writing, usually provided with subtleties that I didn't consider. The most valuable tips for somebody like myself are those in the first half of the book. Later on, they begin to be more business related, but I can still see their value, despite currently being in college.The book gets five stars from me because it provides tons of valuable advice; in addition, Leil keeps it interesting by giving personal examples and stories alongside her tricks. I fully intend to come back to this book to help make these tricks habit. After a full read, it becomes a guide, you'll look back at conversations and realize what tricks you used, or failed to use.Do you wear clothes to an office party, or just go natural? Several reviewers have commented that the author or the techniques offered in this book are "plastic" or somehow fake. I don't really agree with that criticism. These social techniques are simply methods for making a more favorable personal impression or more adroitly facilitating interpersonal discourse. Are they "natural?" I don't really understand why it is considered a criticism to offer to teach someone a behavior which is not natural to them. If these techniques are natural to you, then you are wasting your time reading this book. If they are not natural to you, then you could potentially benefit from reading this book. But I can think of few human behaviors which are more natural than the desire to make a favorable social impression. When you go for a job interview do you brush your teeth, or do you just go natural? When you go to an office party do you wear clothes, or do you just go natural? When going on a hot first date do you restrain your flatulence, or do you just act naturally? Get real people, we all tailor our dress and behavior to impress the people we feel a desire to impress.I personally utilize very few of the techniques contained in this book, but then again I have very little desire to climb most social or corporate ladders. I do occasionally have clients who ask me to help them improve their social skills, so I like to have some familiarity with recommended social behaviors. The skills and behaviors outlined in this book can improve your social presentation if you take the time to practice them until they feel natural. Like every thing else in life, practice does lessen our natural imperfections.

Bad Blood Download

ISBN: B07BMCMS5L
Title: Bad Blood Pdf Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup

*A national best seller*

One of the Best Books of 2018: NPR, New York Times Book Review, Inc., TIME, Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post   The McKinsey Business Book of the Year 

"The story is even crazier than I expected, and I found myself unable to put it down once I started. This book has everything: elaborate scams, corporate intrigue, magazine cover stories, ruined family relationships, and the demise of a company once valued at nearly $10 billion." (Bill Gates)

The full inside story of the breathtaking rise and shocking collapse of Theranos, the multibillion-dollar biotech startup, by the prize-winning journalist who first broke the story and pursued it to the end, despite pressure from its charismatic CEO and threats by her lawyers.

In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup "unicorn" promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood testing significantly faster and easier. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes' worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn't work.

A riveting story of the biggest corporate fraud since Enron, a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley.

Impossibly too good to be true This is an impeccably researched and referenced account of the Theranos saga. As a long-time observer and sometime competitor of Theranos I watched this tale unfold whilst working at a couple of established IVD companies. Everyone I knew who had ever developed an assay or instrument knew this was smoke and mirrors, impossibly too good to be true. What I never suspected was just how personally dishonest EH had been, and for how long the complex deception was maintained. Whilst I've met a few egregious individuals working for big companies, there are enough checks and balances (QA/RA, Med/Sci Affairs, CLSs and other professionals etc) in place to stop harmful devices getting out the door.The subject matter - developing devices and assays - is a complex dry topic, difficult to write engagingly about. But JC does a workmanlike job and I read this in one go after its midnight Kindle release. My only nit to pick is the poor editing: there are so many uses of '....named....' as in 'an engineer named John Smith' or 'a restaurant named Joe's Bar' that it got irritating. Find/replace 'named' with a comma would have worked fine in most cases. The text was also repetitive - eg '...an award named after Channing...' gets at least 2 mentions. But not enough to lose a star.Kudos to the good people at Theranos who had the courage to get the story out and for JCs persistence into a headwind of legalistic intimidation. I've heard Theranos is now a case-study for MBA students: this book should be required reading for anyone thinking about 'disrupting' the medical devices industry. There are lives at stake.Fascinating, horrifying, and richly detailed account of corporate ambition gone awry. I started this book and could not put it down. It's a horrifying true story of a driven entrepreneur whose only overriding goal was to become insanely rich. And she would do anything, any unimagineable thing, to get there.Elizabeth Holmes leveraged her family's high profile connections to draw in early investors and supporters, who were not very inquisitive on details, nor very skeptical in nature. Drawing on the good name and reputation of these early supporters, she was able to build an impressive roster of other supporters with stellar reputations in tech and venture capital circles. From there, it was just a matter of stage managing the house of cards she was building.Holmes crafted a Potemkin village that had fooled investors, customers, and visiting dignitaries. Her product demonstrations were outright theater, staged managed illusions worthy of David Copperfield. Theranos employees in on the ruse were assured it was just temporary, until the actual product could be perfected and the results repeatable. That day would never come. Those on the outside who also worked in this field had well founded and grave doubts about how Theranos could be touting a product that seemingly defied both logic and physics. Their suspicions, proven to be correct, was that it was too good to be true.Without a trace of guilt or regret, she induced powerful tech workers to leave lucrative careers at other major tech firms, giving up millions in stock options, to come work for Theranos, surely knowing the whole thing would collapse one day. When skeptical board members asked to see data affirming the effectiveness of their product, Holmes would defer, saying those papers were in perpetual legal review. Some employees, when they were no longer useful to her, or deemed disloyal, were immediately and unceremoniously marched out.This is a real life thriller, the story of someone who is a true diabolical movie villain. Holmes is portrayed vividly as a paranoid sociopath who could also be disarming, charmingly manipulative, utterly ruthless and devoid of conscience. This is a tale of corporate greed and lack of regulatory oversight gone all awry.

Three Women Pdf

ISBN: B07NF1M2HG
Title: Three Women Pdf

"I can't imagine a scenario where this isn't one of the more important - and breathlessly debated - books of the year." (Dave Eggers)

From a thrilling new talent, Three Women is an astonishing work of narrative journalism - reported over eight years - about the sex lives and desires of three ordinary American women.

Lina, a homemaker in suburban Indiana, is a decade into a passionless marriage when she embarks on an affair that quickly becomes all-consuming and transforms her life. Sloane, a glamorous entrepreneur in the Northeast, is married to a man who likes to watch her have sex with other men and women. Maggie, a high school student in North Dakota, begins a relationship with her English teacher that will have extraordinary consequences for them both - as well as the community in which they live.

For nearly a decade, Lisa Taddeo, an award-winning journalist and longtime contributor to New York Magazine and Esquire, embedded herself with three everyday women to write this deeply immersive account of their erotic lives and longings. The result - shocking, powerful, and timely - comes across like George Packer's The Unwinding, but for the state of female desire. Three Women is a major work from an exhilarating new voice.

“What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open.” With this book, our world is being blown open through the compelling truths of three women.A review cannot do justice to the brilliance, beauty, and power of this book.Absolutely flawlessly written and overflowing with insights from how a woman's sexuality is often vulnerably formed by life-defining events in our developmental years, to navigating patriarchal confines regarding female advocacy in sexuality, to how this all translates into our comprehensive life experiences as women.Three Women is a must-read.Remarkable “Women shouldn’t judge one another’s lives, if we haven’t been through one another’s fires.”The three women in the book all have different stories but are similar in the sense that they are all feeling unfulfilled with their current situations.I got very emotionally attached to all of these women, I was more invested in two of the three but every single story was compelling and upsetting at the same time. Each chapter shocked me a little more and I found myself frustrated with the feeling that the happiness of these women’s lives was so dependent on the actions of the men around them.It was very easy to get invested in the stories and the writing does not make you feel like you are reading a work of non-fiction. I will say that if you don’t like sexual content in your books that you may want to pass on this one. Otherwise I completely recommend this book.More reviews on Instagram @unshelvededitionPowerful and relatable. This book is insightful and brutal in its truth. I believe that most women can relate to one or all three of these women and their stories. Whether that be remembering the intense feelings of being a teenage girl, or being attracted to someone simply because of the intensity with which they’re attracted to you. Or maybe you’ve been with someone you know isn’t good for you, who doesn’t feel for you with the depth that you feel for them, but you keep going back, because how good it feels when you’re together. Maybe you feel the pressure to be exactly what men (a man) like(s)- to be put-together, sexy, and smart. To never have cracks to show that you have individual wants, needs, and desires that vary from their own. To never show that you have weaknesses or need anything beyond the minimum of what they will give.I think this book is relatable in the strongest sense of the word.

The Man Who Solved the Market Pdf

ISBN: B07NLFC63Y
Title: The Man Who Solved the Market Pdf How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution SHORTLISTED FOR THE FT & MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2019

SHORTLISTED FOR THE FT AND MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2019

'Reads more like a delicious page-turning novel...Put it on your holiday gift list for your favourite hedge-fund honcho' Bloomberg

Jim Simons is the greatest moneymaker in modern financial history. His record bests those of legendary investors, including Warren Buffett, George Soros and Ray Dalio. Yet Simons and his strategies are shrouded in mystery. The financial industry has long craved a look inside Simons's secretive hedge fund, Renaissance Technologies and veteran Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman delivers the goods.

After a legendary career as a mathematician and a stint breaking Soviet codes, Simons set out to conquer financial markets with a radical approach. Simons hired physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists - most of whom knew little about finance - to amass piles of data and build algorithms hunting for the deeply hidden patterns in global markets. Experts scoffed, but Simons and his colleagues became some of the richest in the world, their strategy of creating mathematical models and crunching data embraced by almost every industry.

As Renaissance became a major player in the financial world, its executives began exerting influence on other areas. Simons became a major force in scientific research, education and Democratic politics, funding Hilary Clinton's presidential campaign. While senior executive Robert Mercer is more responsible than anyone else for the Trump presidency, placing Steve Bannon in the campaign, funding Trump's victorious 2016 effort and backing alt-right publication Breitbart. Mercer also impacted the success of the Brexit campaign. For all his prescience, Simons failed to anticipate how Mercer's activity would impact his firm and the world.

In this fast-paced narrative, Zuckerman examines how Simons launched a quantitative revolution on Wall Street, and reveals the impact that Simons, the quiet billionaire king of the quants, has had on worlds well beyond finance.

Jim Simons built Medallion, the world's most successful hedge fund, ever. The Man who Solved the Market reads like a novel.Jim Simons built Medallion, the world’s most successful hedge fund ever, virtually pioneering Quantitative Investing, which was regarded as a radical idea at the time. Medallion's reliance upon massive amounts of data and computer driven decisions was the key . He was intrepid, focused, and was a man of extraordinary technical and managerial abilities, which enabled him to amass personal wealth of $23 billion, mainly out of the view of Wall Street. He created great teams and compensated them generously. Having his own money at risk was an inducement to investors, and his competitiveness probably accounted for a great deal of his achievements. Like Simons, his investors were richly rewarded investing with him.The author’s insightful narrative was particularly meaningful because of his extensive access to management, including Simons, which provided vital context for how Medallion was formed, grew and and flourished. Mr. Zuckerman makes the reader aware of the talents, personalities and struggles of each of the principles involved in building Medallion. There are plenty of lessons about how to manage a company from how Simons managed his.Today, Jim Simons’ approach is now more widely accepted in the investment community. There have been many attempts have to emulate him. Yet, no organization has matched his returns.Manuel H.Lazerov, PresidentInfrastructure Financial, Inc.Amazing Book! Far and away, the best book on finance or Wall Street that I have ever read. Probably the best biography I have ever read. It reads like a novel, I couldn't put it down! Jim Simons is quite the character that really comes to life. I knew how private he is so never thought I would learn anything about him or that he would "talk." Clearly, he opened up to Mr. Zuckerman in a way that he never has with anyone else. I most strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in math, finance, Wall Street or just a great biography. Truly a fabulous read.A riveting story of a mathematician who learned how to build a team A completely engrossing book you will find hard to put down. Jim Simons used applied math to build the greatest money-making machine in Wall Street history. But this is really a rich human story of how Simons built a team of fascinating and brilliant personalities.Along the way, Zuckerman also tells the story of the radical change in the investment world: “MBAs once scoffed at the thought of relying on a scientific and systematic approach to investing, confident they could hire coders if they were ever needed. Today, coders say the same thing about MBAs, if they think about them at all.”
