And That's How It All Started
Author: Stoney McGurrin
Publisher: Page Publishing, Inc
ISBN: 1644624524
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Stoney McGurrin in his debut book, brings us on the adventure of his life time. Having spent months in hospital as a four year old, where he almost lost his arm; only to have it saved by a famous French surgeon Dr. Chance, he left Leitrim as a teenager on ship across the Atlantic to New York City. The stories are exciting, sad, happy and true; from 1941 to the present, from pencil to paper. "Very informative as far as history of Irish people making it in New York City. Great to learn of how civil rights has made us better people. His traveling south, taught me to appreciate what I have today." - Ann Hernandez, New York, USA "A great read, the author captures glimpses of life of bygone eras, all the while never short of good characters and incredible situations. I really enjoyed the book." - Kieran Moran, The Bronx, New York, USA "A roller coaster read. Should be on the curriculum in high schools. This book would be banned in Ireland in the 1960s. The author would be in the good company of Oscar Wilde, Salman Rushdie and Brendan Behan." - Michael D. McAndrew, Journalist Midwest Radio, Mayo, Ireland "My wife and I read it in bed. We laughed, we cried; insights into sex, drugs, crime, hard work, history and politics. We did not sleep the night we read it. We waited a long time for a book like this, well done to Stoney and John for this production." Pat and Phil Burke, Co. Tipperary, Ireland "Entertaining, educational, enlightening, ecstatic, erotic and enjoyable!" - Lizzy Tabor, Massachusetts, USA 'I've known Stoney for over 40 years - and over that time he has regaled me with his stories and memories many times. It's great to see them documented on the printed page - captured in time. Stories that take us from Dowra, Co Leitrim across to the United States - stories of innocence and ignorance, of hurt and healing, of grit, determination and success - told in Stoney's inimitable voice." - Carl Corcoran, Veteran Broadcaster, Dublin, Ireland

Start with Why

Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1591846447
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
The inspirational bestseller that ignited a movement and asked us to find our WHY Discover the book that is captivating millions on TikTok and that served as the basis for one of the most popular TED Talks of all time—with more than 56 million views and counting. Over a decade ago, Simon Sinek started a movement that inspired millions to demand purpose at work, to ask what was the WHY of their organization. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, and these ideas remain as relevant and timely as ever. START WITH WHY asks (and answers) the questions: why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who have had the greatest influence in the world all think, act and communicate the same way—and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.
