Book Description
What makes someone leave home at the age of 16 to move to another country all by himself? What drives a person to pursue a professional kitesurfing career even though there is no sea where he is from? Why would someone study 6 years of medicine, just to not work as a medical doctor after graduation? How did the same person go from complete bankruptcy to financial independence in just a few years by moving to Asia? Julian, the author of the book, was asked these and many more questions throughout his entire life. Many of the answers did not make any sense at the time when he took the decision but make absolute sense looking backwards The beautiful part of these stories he has around his answers is that anyone can not only relate to them, but moreover draw important conclusions for his or her own life. Julians thought processes are NOT rocket science. At the end, there are no good or bad decisions in life - only decisions that you make or don't make. Sometimes someone (you?) just need a little bit of reassurance that you are on the right track. Need the extra motivation to step out of your comfort zone and have personal growth (maybe you want to move abroad or start a professional sports career, or change jobs?) You are ahead of a big change and need guidance (move abroad, change jobs, personal shifts) Feel stuck at where you are and need help and support to see new ways Are at college or graduated from college and want to know through real life lessons if you are on the right track? Want to have highly productive days and get done twice as much as usual successfully? Want to get well-tested tips on personal finance, learn how to network professionally and have fun doing business. Are doing awesome already, but want to be inspired to have even more personal growth or try something new? ...then this book is for you! Julian's 25 easy-to-relate real-life stories are packed with true value bombs and over 75 life lessons and -hacks ready for you to use. Instead of the quick-tips or cookie-cutter-problem-solution approach these 25 real life stories will give you a practical blueprint. Most people never hear about the background stories of & against the odds or against the mainstream thinking; decisions, and what happened after taking them. So when they face a moment of adversity in their own life, they lack the self-motivation to overcome that obstacle. Julian wanted to make sure, that his Younger Self has a blueprint to be well prepared for such challenges and so he collected the most inspiring stories to give not only to his Younger Self but also share with you. Julian's 25 stories will make you laugh, scream, relate, and dream - but most important: They will inspire you to take those decisions in life, that you know you want and need to make, but have been too scared of so far.

At Home in the World
Author: Joyce Maynard
Publisher: Picador
ISBN: 1429977558
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 395
Book Description
New York Times bestselling author of Labor Day With a New Preface When it was first published in 1998, At Home in the World set off a furor in the literary world and beyond. Joyce Maynard's memoir broke a silence concerning her relationship—at age eighteen—with J.D. Salinger, the famously reclusive author of The Catcher in the Rye, then age fifty-three, who had read a story she wrote for The New York Times in her freshman year of college and sent her a letter that changed her life. Reviewers called her book "shameless" and "powerful" and its author was simultaneously reviled and cheered. With what some have viewed as shocking honesty, Maynard explores her coming of age in an alcoholic family, her mother's dream to mold her into a writer, her self-imposed exile from the world of her peers when she left Yale to live with Salinger, and her struggle to reclaim her sense of self in the crushing aftermath of his dismissal of her not long after her nineteenth birthday. A quarter of a century later—having become a writer, survived the end of her marriage and the deaths of her parents, and with an eighteen-year-old daughter of her own—Maynard pays a visit to the man who broke her heart. The story she tells—of the girl she was and the woman she became—is at once devastating, inspiring, and triumphant.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A special 25th anniversary edition of the beloved book that has changed millions of lives with the story of an unforgettable friendship, the timeless wisdom of older generations, and healing lessons on loss and grief—featuring a new afterword by the author “A wonderful book, a story of the heart told by a writer with soul.”—Los Angeles Times “The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.” Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was his college professor Morrie Schwartz. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn’t you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man’s life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final “class”: lessons in how to live. “The truth is, Mitch,” he said, “once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie’s lasting gift with the world.
