Book Description
Wondering if science could explain how he survived his 40-year avalanche of drugs and alcohol, Ozzy Osbourne became one of a handful of people in the world to have his entire DNA mapped in 2010. It was a highly complex, $65,000 process, but the results were conclusive: Ozzy is a genetic anomaly. The "Full Ozzy Genome" contained variants that scientists had never before encountered and the findings were presented at the prestigious TEDMED Conference in San Diego-making headlines around the world. The procedure was in part sponsored by The Sunday Times of London, which had already caused an international fururoe by appointing Ozzy Osbourne its star health advice columnist. The newpaper argued that Ozzy's mutliple near-death experiences, 40-year history of drug abuse, and extreme hypocondria qualified him more than any other for the job. The column was an overnight hit, being quickly picked up by Rolling Stone to give it a global audience of millions. In Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy, Ozzy answers reader's questions with his outrageous wit and surprising wisdom, digging deep into his past to tell the memoir-style survival stories never published before-and offer guidance that no sane human being should follow. Part humor, part memoir, and part bad advice, Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy will include some of the best material from his published columns, answers to celebrities' medical questions, charts, sidebars, and more.

Celia Villarreal had wanted those things with Ryland Brody, Bitterthorn’s golden boy—and wanted them badly enough to make a fool of herself one idiotic night months ago.

The Art of Servant Leadership II
Author: Art Barter
Publisher: Wheatmark, Inc.
ISBN: 1627875131
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Not many industry revolutions begin with a typical married couple who risk everything to do something they've never done before. But that is exactly what Art and Lori Barter did in 2004 when they purchased Datron World Communications. The husband and wife knew everything about the power of strong values and the lack of values in modern corporations, but nothing about running a large-scale business that was -- at the time -- losing money. It was a test of faith and perseverance unlike any other. Everything from financial security to spiritual fulfillment was on the line. The Art of Servant Leadership II instructs modern business leaders on how to transform their businesses to servant-led organizations that prioritize integrity over profitability and never-ending quests to accumulate power. By integrating the servant-led paradigm into their inner lives and professional thinking, today's leaders can revolutionize heartless corporate strategies that reward the few at the expense of the many. Today, Datron World Communications is a multimillion-dollar, multicultural, international company with customers in more than eighty countries. That success is the result of the lessons taught in The Art of Servant Leadership II and proof that serving others with compassion and humility brings unprecedented rewards.

What Goes on Tour
Author: Sam Derbyshire
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1780884842
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
What goes on tour, stays on tour is the old adage – but what happens when the likelihood of tour secrets being divulged becomes a real possibility? With his marriage to the slightly depressed Lucy already under severe strain, Steve Sinclair, handsome stalwart of the Scottish team, is desperate to embark on the annual Scotland v England golf tour to Portugal. But with the trip being organised by twice-divorced, arrogant and promiscuous London banker Myles Cavendish, tensions in his and several of the others players’ homes are already running high. Aware that he is not the most popular guy on the trip, Cavendish is keen to make the 20th anniversary tour one to remember and determined to take the trophy back to England. Ignoring the pleas of his long-suffering but faithful friend Simon to hold back on some of his plans for ‘extracurricular’ activities, he revels in the opportunity to stir things up for his smug, happily married mates. However, when the inevitable fallout affects some of his closest friends, Cavendish has to pick up a lot more pieces than he bargained for, especially when his controlling and bullying tactics prove too much for struggling lawyer Callum Dunbar and the boys call in his formidable wife Maggie to sort things out. And when the abandoned wives decide to take on a few extra curricular activities of their own, things get even more complicated... Set over four days, What Goes on Tour is a fast-paced, light-hearted and entertaining look at the challenges and complexities of modern relationships, the differences between the two genders and the dangers posed by a camera phone in the wrong hands. It’s a great holiday read for men and women – with both sexes able to identify with the subject matter and characters. Sam has been inspired by many authors, including Jilly Cooper and Nick Hornby.

Book Description
(Applause Books). "These are memoirs of a kid born in New York City in 1925. His dad, George Senior, was a pianist, composer, and orchestra leader at Proctor's Vaudeville Theatre, and his mother, Helen, played in a classic dance troupe. Hanky-panky ensued. They married, and I soon was the result... I write like I talk. A long time ago I tried making 'talking and telling the truth' one and the same. That isn't just difficult; it means painfully reviewing things you've been led to believe since you were a child. That's very hard to do. Like many, I have marched along adhering to conventions (sex, color, church, party, gang) without examination. There's a wonderful, protective 'togetherness' in that anonymity. You obey or are damned, less joined together than stuck together. You become an echo rather than a voice. This book is about what happens when you stop fearing and think. I like writing, but warmed-over BS is not on the menu. You are the most important thing in life. Every phrase in the book awkward or not is how I think and question everything. I wrote every word as if we were sitting together. I want you to think, too..." George Kennedy, from the preface

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
'Very funny and frank' Independent 'Reads like Scrubs: The Blog ... funny and awful in equal measure' Observer * * * * * * * The bestselling real life story of a hapless junior doctor, based on his columns written anonymously for the Telegraph. IF YOU'RE GOING to be ill, it's best to avoid the first Wednesday in August. This is the day when junior doctors graduate to their first placements and begin to face having to put into practice what they have spent the last six years learning. Starting on the evening before he begins work as a doctor, this book charts Max Pemberton's touching and funny journey through his first year in the NHS. Progressing from youthful idealism to frank bewilderment, Max realises how little his job is about 'saving people' and how much of his time is taken up by signing forms and trying to figure out all the important things no one has explained yet -- for example, the crucial question of how to tell whether someone is dead or not. Along the way, Max and his fellow fledgling doctors grapple with the complicated questions of life, love, mental health and how on earth to make time to do your laundry. All Creatures Great and Small meets Bridget Jones's Diary, this is a humorous and accessible peek into a world which you'd normally need a medical degree to witness. If you enjoy Trust Me, I'm a (Junior) Doctor, don't miss the follow-up titles Where Does It Hurt? and The Doctor Will See You Now.
