An inspirational memoir by Scott Jurek, one of the finest ultrarunners in the world.
We all know our belief in our self is one of the greatest determinants in our life. This book investigates how to increase our belief in our self. The author, Scott Friedman, uses his life to illustrate the application of ways to believe in our self more.
The "Art of the ETHICAL Deal" brings a spiritual (read more honest) perspective and understanding to doing deals. The issues of pricing, client retention, maximizing value and problem solving are among many issues addressed. The underlying theme of everything Scott writes is "the solution to every problem is to more deeply and fully accept and align with what is true".
The way forward is ALWAYS for us to be more honest with our self. One aspect of that we all can improve on is honestly accepting our impact in the world. The more truthful we are with our self about the difference we make, the stronger we get and the more our impact grows. The point of this book is to further our acceptance and growth of our global leadership.

When we heal our self, we do heal the world. This book is for intelligent, thoughtful, and open minded people who want to take more effective control of their life and the influence they have in the world and who hunger for new and valuable perspectives.
The U.S.S. Enterprise discovers the wreckage of a starship upon the monstrous surface of a Dyson sphere, an artificially-constructed habitat built around a star; and preserved in a weak transporter pattern is Starfleet engineering legend Montgomery "Scotty" Scott. Mr. Scott boards the Enterprise to find himself lost in a world that he barely recognizes, a world that has passed him by. But soon the Enterprise finds itself trapped within the Dyson sphere and pulled into the star, and Scotty must work with Lt. Geordi La Forge to rescue the Enterprise.
How many lesbians can dance on the head of a pin? Kinky Friedman sure as hell doesn't know, but he's learning exactly how many it takes to send the geriatric plaster tumbling from the ceiling of his downtown New York loft. The culprit is one Winnie Katz, man-hating proprietress of a lesbian dance troupe that thunders daily through his waking dreams. And when Winnie won't even give it enough of a rest to let Kinky patch the hole, our hero, lost in a blue-gray haze of Irish whiskey and cigar smoke, takes drastic action. He pens an anonymous, threatening note, hoping -- as only one lost in an alcohol-soaked fantasy can hope -- to then step in as "Ace Private Big Dick" Friedman, and save the day...
Politicians continually tell us that anyone can get ahead. But is that really true? This important, best-selling book takes readers behind the closed doors of elite employers to reveal how class affects who gets to the top. Friedman and Laurison show that a powerful 'class pay gap’ exists in Britain’s elite occupations. Even when those from working-class backgrounds make it into prestigious jobs, they earn, on average, 16% less than colleagues from privileged backgrounds. But why is this the case? Drawing on 175 interviews across four case studies – television, accountancy, architecture, and acting – they explore the complex barriers facing the upwardly mobile. This is a rich, ambitious book that demands we take seriously not just the glass but also the class ceiling.
This book looks at thirteen different legal systems, ranging from Imperial China to modern Amish: how they worked, what problems they faced, how they dealt with them. Some chapters deal with a single legal system, others with topics relevant to several, such as problems with law based on divine revelation or how systems work in which law enforcement is private and decentralized. The book's underlying assumption is that all human societies face the same problems, deal with them in an interesting variety of different ways, are all the work of grown-ups, hence should all be taken seriously. It ends with a chapter on features of past legal systems that a modern system might want to borrow.
