Steroid Nation: : Juiced Home Run Totals, Anti-aging Miracles, and a Hercules in Every High School: The Secret History of America's True Drug Addiction
by Shaun AssaelThey are the drugs that make millionaires, and cause careers to crash. They lurk at the cross-section of science and scandal, and the list of stars who've been laid high and low by them grows every day. In Steroid Nation, Shaun Assael traces the history of America's steroid-mania, and demonstrates why it is still such a stubborn, enduring phenomenon. Beginning his epic story in 1981 with Dan Duchaine, the godfather of America's steroid movement, Assael follows the drug as it journeys from the Venice Beach gyms christened by Arnold Schwarzenegger to NFL locker rooms to the world of MLB, which found itself paralyzed in the 2000s by a parade of perp walks and hand-wringing headlines. From Barry Bonds to Marion Jones, Lance Armstrong to A-Rod, Steroid Nation tells the story of wildly ambitious athletes who felt they couldn't compete without a chemical edge. Part detective story, part medical investigation, and part sociological examination, Steroid Nation is a groundbreaking work on the most compelling story in the sports world today.

Steve Jobs' Life by Design: Lessons from His Last Lecture
by George BeahmOn June 12, 2005, Steve Jobs gave his first—and only—commencement address, to the 114th graduating class at Stanford University, an audience of approximately 23,000. They witnessed history: Jobs' 22-minute prepared speech subsequently reached 26 million online viewers worldwide. It is by far the most popular commencement address in history, framed with "three stories" that succinctly summed up the most important lessons Jobs learned in life. Life-changing lessons, he explained, can only be connected when looking back, which he had done in preparation for his talk. Steve Jobs' Life by Design starts with Jobs' own words in the text of his talk and expands outward from there. In the address, Jobs gave us the dots, but he didn't have the luxury of time to connect them. So much about his life, his viewpoint, and his personal and business philosophies were mentioned but not explained. We know what he said, but what actually did he mean? What can we learn from him?This book connects those dots. We see Jobs' life and career through his own eyes, in context, and in proper perspective. His process of looking back illuminated his life—and by doing so, he serves as an inspiration to illuminate our lives as well.

Steven Petrow's Complete Gay And Lesbian Manners: The Definitive Guide To LGBT Life
by Steven Petrow Sally ChewFinally, the first big book of manners for the more than 15 million lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the United States and Canada and the people who love them, work with them, and live with them. Written by Steven Petrow, the go-to authority on the subject-he's the same-sex wedding expert at The New York Times and a columnist for The Huffington Post, Yahoo's Shine, GayWeddings. com, and the "Q" Syndicate (with distribution to more than 100 LGBT newspapers and websites)-this is the definitive book of LGBT etiquette. Encyclopedic in its approach, filled with practical wisdom, lively wit, and much insight, Steven Petrow's Complete Gay & Lesbian Manners covers everything: from coming out to being out in the workplace; from dealing with the joy and complexity of same-sex weddings and commitment ceremonies (including how to propose and write meaningful vows) to handling the legal paperwork every couple needs. There's a chapter on sex etiquette, and another on the challenges and opportunities of raising a family, plus sections on travel, bullying, entertaining, meeting new friends, introducing your partner to your family, a primer on gay pride, and so much more. Throughout there are hundreds of questions-some posed by LGBT folk, and others by straight people: What do the mothers of two brides wear to a lesbian wedding? What do you say to an anti-gay joke? How do you answer "Who's the father?" when there are two mothers? Manners, yes, but with a twist. **In recognition of Quality, Excellence, and Design, this ebook has been granted a QED seal of approval from Digital Book World. **
Stewards Not Owners: The Joy of Aligning Your Money with Your Faith
by Bill Wichterman Dana WichtermanThe book Stewards Not Owners goes beyond beyond the traditional Christian concept of tithing—giving 10% of our income—to encourage readers to consider a new paradigm, that everything—our time, talents, treasures, relationships—belong to the Lord, but they are still ours for us to use with joy and creativity.Stewardship is a word we don&’t hear very often . . . until our church needs to build a new building. But does Scripture say more about stewardship than that? Is there more to managing our money for God&’s kingdom than we realize? In Stewards Not Owners, Dana and Bill Wichterman challenge conventional views on wealth and giving, encouraging Christ-followers to put all their financial muscles to work for the Lord. Rather than focusing on simply giving away 10 percent of their income, Dana and Bill challenge readers to activate 100 percent of their wealth and wealth-creating potential for kingdom goals. The Wichtermans also reveal: How to incorporate your faith into your financial decisions. Why God calls us to save while cautioning us against hoarding. The need for financial openness and transparency in our faith communities. How faithful Christians are inadvertently funding companies and initiatives that actively work against biblical values. How to creatively use your charitable giving to build Christ-centered businesses. Strategies for aligning your personal wealth-building goals with your heavenly calling to expand God&’s kingdom. Drawing on years of personal research, relationships, and experience, Dana and Bill also share the inspiring stories of twenty-four individuals who have fully embraced a lifestyle of radical stewardship. Surrendering all your finances to God doesn&’t have to mean living a dull, joyless, ascetic life. As you&’ll discover in Stewards Not Owners, you can enjoy God&’s financial blessings while still using them to expand His kingdom and lead a life of true abundance and eternal significance!
Stewardship for All?: Two Believers--One From A Poor Country, One From A Rich Country- Speak From Thei
by Bedru HusseinAn Ethiopian and an American discuss stewardship, an attitude and a practice taught in the Bible regarding all of one's possessions-time, money, and abilities. Does stewardship have a place in our world? If so, why? Stewardship is an attitude and practice taught in the Bible regarding all of one's possessions -- time, money, abilities. But does stewardship have a place in our world? If so, why? This book brings together two voices from two vastly different parts of the world to talk about the subject. Bedru Hussein is from Ethiopia; Lynn Miller from the United States. They are both Christian leaders, but their exposure to and experiences with stewardship couldn't be at greater extremes. Their cultures' standards of living, income levels, frameworks, and histories are wildly different. Naturally, their settings and circumstances affect what they think the Old and New Testaments say about this issue. This book is for those Christians who are hearing for the first time that their resources, whatever their size, do not ultimately belong to them. The book is for those Christians who have heard that theme too often, who are exhausted by hearing that they have too much. A group of stories concludes the book. They are life experiences from churches and individuals (from Belize, Indonesia, Paraguay, Ethiopia, and the U.S.) and show candidly how stewardship is practiced in these particular places today.

Young#1 Wall Street Journal BestsellerAn award-winning psychologist and director of the UCLA Center for Digital Behavior shows everyone how to make real, lasting change in their lives in this exciting work of popular psychology that goes beyond The Power of Habit with science and practical strategies that can alter their problem behaviors—forever.Whether it’s absent-minded mistakes at work, a weakness for junk food, a smart phone addiction, or a lack of exercise, everyone has some bad habit or behavior that they’d like to change. But wanting to change and actually doing it—and sticking with it—are two very different things.Dr. Sean Young, an authoritative new voice in the field of behavioral science, knows a great deal about our habits—how we make them and how we can break them. Stick with It is his fascinating look at the science of behavior, filled with crucial knowledge and practical advice to help everyone successfully alter their actions and improve their lives.As Dr. Young explains, you don’t change behavior by changing the person, you do it by changing the process. Drawing on his own scientific research and that of other leading experts in the field, he explains why change can be difficult and identifies the crucial forces that combine to make transformation permanent, from the right way to create new habits to how to harness emotional meaning to motivate change. He also helps us understand how the mind often interferes with creating lasting change and how we can outsmart it, including using "neurohacks" to shortcut the brain’s counterproductive instincts. In addition he provides a powerful corrective to the decades old science of habits, offering a next generation discussion of how habits can change behavior with the right approach.Packed with pragmatic exercises and stories of real people who have used them successfully, Stick with It shows that it is possible to control spending, stick to a diet, become more social, exercise regularly, stop compulsively checking e-mail, and overcome problem behaviors—forever.

Still Doing It
by Deirdre Fishel Diana Holtzberg"An informed, honest, joyous book. Younger women may well envy us." -Suzanne Braun Levine, author of Inventing the Rest of Our Lives and "Sex, love, and life can grow even richer as we grow older, and the stereotype-busting women in this book show us scores of ways. These women are not going downhill, they're on a roll. They are women of juice and wisdom-and living proof that the best is yet to come."- Gina Ogden, PhD, author of Women Who Love Sex, The Heart and Soul of Sex, and The Return of Desire When Deirdre Fishel and Diana Holtzberg began work on their documentary Still Doing It, they knew they were catching a wave. The women of the baby-boom generation who had been so outspoken about sexuality and freedom were about to turn sixty, yet no one was talking about the revolution in aging. Nor was anyone letting on about the big dark secret that women born before the boomers, even way before, were a hell of a lot more vital than the images we were getting, and many were still having sex-and loving it! In Still Doing It, Fishel, Holtzberg, and the incredible women in their documentary broke the silence. Now they are back, with a stimulating and eye-opening book that offers a deeper look at women who break every stereotype we have about sex and intimacy. These women are dynamic, confident, opinionated, and wise. They're also having the kind of intense sexual experiences and fantasies we never associate with grandmothers. You'll meet Betty, who met her live-in boyfriend in an online chat room when she was sixty-nine and he was twenty-two; Joani, age seventy, who shares her boyfriend with another woman; and Frances, who encountered the intellectual and sexual love of her life at eighty. Today's women are living longer, healthier lives, and their appetite for sex and adventure isn't fading. Aware of their mortality, they understand just how precious life really is, and are willing to take risks to go after what they want. Challenging stereotypes about older women, Still Doing It lets everyone know that sex and adventure do not need to end when you hit sixty (or seventy . . . or ninety!). In fact, the good stuff is often just beginning.
