Title: Nicklas Lidstrom Pdf The Pursuit of Perfection
Author: Gunnar Nordstrom

Page: 288

The life and career of Nicklas Lidstrom almost reads like a real-life hockey fairy tale. Drafted by the Detroit Red Wings as a 19-year-old defenseman out of his native Sweden, Lidstrom spent the next two decades manning the Motor City blueline. During those years he became a Hockeytown legend, amassing a mind-boggling collection of accomplishments and accolades: four Stanley Cups, seven Norris Trophies as the NHL’s best defenseman, a Conn Smythe Trophy, 12 All-Star selections, and gold medals in both the Olympics and World Championships.
Off the ice, life appears equally idyllic: Lidstrom is uniformly respected and admired by opponents, observers, and teammates alike, and he and his wife of more than 20 years have four boys who split their time between Sweden and their adopted homeland.
Perhaps only one question remains unanswered about the man teammates referred to as the Perfect Human: exactly how did he do it?
In Nicklas Lidstrom: The Pursuit of Perfection, the Hall of Fame defenseman and a who’s-who of hockey luminaries investigate and reveal precisely how he made dominating the game he loves appear so effortless. How did an unimposing prospect catch the eye of Red Wings scouts during an era when few Swedes made it to the NHL? What was the secret to his remarkable endurance and longevity, allowing him to miss just 44 games in 20 grueling NHL seasons? And what level of preparation and study was required to transform a man who was not the biggest or fastest at his position into one of the greatest defensemen in hockey history?
You’ll find the answers to all of this and more in Nicklas Lidstrom: The Pursuit of Perfection

Call Sign Chaos Free Pdf

ISBN: B07SBRFVNH
Title: Call Sign Chaos Pdf Learning to Lead

A clear-eyed account of learning how to lead in a chaotic world, by General Jim Mattis--the former Secretary of Defense and one of the most formidable strategic thinkers of our time--and Bing West, a former assistant secretary of defense and combat Marine.

Call Sign Chaos is the account of Jim Mattis's storied career, from wide-ranging leadership roles in three wars to ultimately commanding a quarter of a million troops across the Middle East. Along the way, Mattis recounts his foundational experiences as a leader, extracting the lessons he has learned about the nature of warfighting and peacemaking, the importance of allies, and the strategic dilemmas--and short-sighted thinking--now facing our nation. He makes it clear why America must return to a strategic footing so as not to continue winning battles but fighting inconclusive wars.

Mattis divides his book into three parts: direct leadership, executive leadership, and strategic leadership. In the first part, Mattis recalls his early experiences leading Marines into battle, when he knew his troops as well as his own brothers. In the second part, he explores what it means to command thousands of troops and how to adapt your leadership style to ensure your intent is understood by your most junior troops so that they can own their mission. In the third part, Mattis describes the challenges and techniques of leadership at the strategic level, where military leaders reconcile war's grim realities with political leaders' human aspirations, where complexity reigns and the consequences of imprudence are severe, even catastrophic.

Call Sign Chaos is a memoir of lifelong learning, following along as Mattis rises from Marine recruit to four-star general. It is a journey learning to lead and a story about how he, through constant study and action, developed a unique leadership philosophy--one relevant to us all.

Something For Everyone—And Lessons For Us All If you are looking for a tell-all about Donald Trump, this is not it. General Jim Mattis is not the sort of man to write a tell-all; it would not be in his character. But if you want a book that tells a lot about a very interesting man, and along the way gives insights into today’s politics, you are at the right place.Most of this book is taken up by vivid descriptions of Mattis’s forty-year career in the Marine Corps, and the lessons he derived from that experience. Mattis has never been married (although apparently he proposed once, but that’s not in this book), and seems, in essence, married to the Corps. Such a monkish ethos was once common among military types—the Templars and the Hospitallers are the most famous examples, and I believe there are similar examples among some Eastern cultures. Today, with the exaltation of personal freedom and license, this rigid, self-demanding code seems a bit odd. Or not so much odd, as out of place. But we could all use a lot more that code, I think.We’re not going to get it from our current ruling class, certainly. And perhaps sometimes it leads Mattis, enmeshed in a society in which he doesn’t really fit, into errors. The most famous of those was, perhaps, his membership on the board of directors of the mega-fraud company Theranos, where Elizabeth Holmes conned elderly men into, effectively, vouching for her fraud. (Read John Carreyrou’s outstanding "Bad Blood" for more.) But in a long life of action, every man should be permitted a few mulligans, and nobody can doubt that Mattis has given much more to our society than he has been given.As far as modern politics, there is some implicit criticism of both Trump and Obama, but most of the focus is on Mattis’s belief that a robust internationalism is in the interests of the United States. (In fact, his break with Trump occurred over Trump’s desire to withdraw from Syria.) Maybe. I’m not convinced, but if anyone is worth reading on the topic, it’s Mattis, rather than talking heads like David Frum or Max Boot. And to his credit, Mattis isn’t interested in imposing democracy. It’s our interests he cares about. He just thinks that “nations with allies thrive; nations without allies wither.”Oh, there is also advice on how individuals should act. But this is not a self-help book. It is Mattis’s attempt to convey wisdom to the nation. Regardless of your political alignment, therefore, this is a measured book well worth reading.Brilliant Chaos I want a signature from Chaos, himself! I haven't read the book yet, but I know it's brilliant! Chaos is Brilliant! My husband is a retired SgtMaj in the Marine Corps! He is Brilliant as well! Being a Marine is Brilliant! Nuff said!Leadership I bought this book because, in an interview General Mattis said that he did not comment on the actions of a sitting President. This level of personal integrity was enough for me to buy the book. This book details a long, tough and thoughtful career. This book is well worth the read, and the General our thanks.

Normal Sucks Pdf

ISBN: B07ND3ZFLL
Title: Normal Sucks Pdf How to Live, Learn, and Thrive Outside the Lines

This program is read by the author.

Confessional and often hilarious, in Normal Sucks, a neuro-diverse writer, advocate, and father meditates on his life, offering the radical message that we should stop trying to fix people and start empowering them to succeed.

Jonathan Mooney blends anecdote, expertise, and memoir to present a new mode of thinking about how we live and learn - individually, uniquely, and with advantages and upshots to every type of brain and body. As a neuro-diverse kid diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD who didn't learn to read until he was 12, the realization that that he wasn't the problem - the system and the concept of normal were - saved Mooney's life and fundamentally changed his outlook. Here he explores the toll that being not normal takes on kids and adults when they're trapped in environments that label them, shame them, and tell them, even in subtle ways, that they are the problem. But, he argues, if we can reorient the ways in which we think about diversity, abilities, and disabilities, we can start a revolution. 

A highly sought-after public speaker, Mooney has been inspiring audiences with his story and his message for nearly two decades. Now he's ready to share what he's learned from parents, educators, researchers, and kids in a book that is as much a survival guide as it is a call to action. Whip-smart, insightful, and utterly inspiring - and movingly framed as a letter to his own young sons, as they work to find their ways in the world - this audiobook will upend what we call normal and empower us all.  

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Engaging and insightful This is an interesting and thought-provoking book that at times is flat-out disturbing. The author posits that we are “surrounded by institutions, systems and cultural practices that demand and enforce, ‘normalcy’.” In other words, we are in an age of constant judgment, seeking to align us with or outcast us from the normative. But how useful is this? Why are we so obsessed with labels which subsequently shame those who fall outside the lines of normal? Should reframing the way we think about diversity and abilities be the higher priority? The answer, of course, is yes. The author shares his very raw experiences of being placed on the “wrong” side of the normal lines as a child as he struggled with dyslexia and ADHD. The evolution of “normal” and “abnormal” are examined and it is concluded that “normal” is simply an ambiguous and fluid term, influenced greatly by societal desires. It is not a true concrete form of measurement. It is, according to the author, a “statistical fiction.” The idea of normal sucks is that the concept of normal falsely robs many of their true value. This book is both engaging and insightful.Inspiring and Infuriating Both inspiring and infuriating, Normal Sucks is part a history of the pursuit of normal and a memoir about all the ways Jonathan Mooney was failed by the education system and a society that is addicted to the unreachable goal of normal. As the mother of a son who has been labeled not normal, the author's story is both terrifying and ultimately triumphant. It isn't a guide on "How to Live, Learn, and Thrive Outside the Lines" but more one example of how a person who is labeled as disabled can overcome "dys-teachia" to become a person who is happy with himself. Written as a letter to his sons, Normal Sucks tells the author's story with humor, insight, and compassion.Big picture thinking AND humor? Sign me up. I read this book on the heels of "The Short Bus" by Jonathan Mooney. As a parent advocate on a school-based special education committee, I learned a lot from that read. But "Normal Sucks" is a wiser, adult Jonathan Mooney displaying all those mad, dyslexic big picture skills. He walked me through high brow philosophical discussion and kept it real. I laughed -- out loud -- and that's what sealed the deal. I've purchased three copies so far (thank you, Amazon, for the fast delivery service), and I'm not done.

The Upside of Falling Down Free Pdf

ISBN: B01MQSN7TG
Title: The Upside of Falling Down Pdf

For Clementine Haas, finding herself is more than a nice idea. Ever since she woke up in an Irish hospital with complete amnesia, self-discovery has become her mission.

They tell her she’s the lone survivor of a plane crash. They tell her she’s lucky to be alive. But she doesn’t feel lucky. She feels…lost.

With the relentless Irish press bearing down on her, and a father she may not even recognize on his way from America to take her home, Clementine assumes a new identity and enlists a blue-eyed Irish stranger, Kieran O’Connell, to help her escape her forgotten life…and start a new one.

Hiding out in the sleepy town of Waterville, Ireland, Clementine discovers there’s an upside to a life that’s fallen apart. But as her lies grow, so does her affection for Kieran, and the truth about her identity becomes harder and harder to reveal, forcing Clementine to decide: Can she leave her past behind for a new love she’ll never forget?

This Pittsburger Approves There really wasn't anything I did not like about this book... except the fact that there was a plane crash at the beginning of it. Clem, Jane, Bunny along with Kieran and the rest of the cast of characters were well developed and had just enough quirkiness to make them all enjoyable. I can understand Clem running away but I kept thinking about her father waiting for her return. Loved all the funny things mentioned about Clevelanders especially the cracks about Pittsburgh and Baltimore. 3/4s thru the book, I was surprised by the turn of events which is a good thing. This was a well developed story. Made me want to see Ireland again and again along with a quick trip over to Cleveland for a game with my Terrible Towel.Another Great by Crane I love this author, but had started to worry about the similarities between her books getting too repetitious. This book proved that worry unfounded. This takes you on gun ride with character traits she enjoys writing about, but the characters are on a different adventure. Questions, lost memories, a journey of finding themselves - okay a lot like most of her books, but there is enough twists to put this book in a category all of it's own. This has probably became my favorite of hers and like Grover Cleveland, leaving me wanting to know so much more.Quirky book about finding yourself The sole survivor of a plane that crashed in Ireland from America wakes up with amnesia. Her lovely nurse is gentle and kind with her, and lets her have a quick moment to prepare herself for meeting her father once he arrives at the hospital to collect her.She believes he's her dad--and seems nice enough from what she can tell while peeking around the corner at him--but she can't look this stranger in the eye and cause him more hurt with her lack of emotional ties with him. So she takes off, talking a hospital volunteer into letting her stay with him until her memory comes back and she can be herself when she reunites with her dad for good.In the process of waiting to find out who she was, she discovers who she wants to be.Rebekah Crane has a way of writing what seems like easy reading, but weaves quirkiness and serious issues in with a deft hand that makes them have just the right weight when they hit. A fun read with romance, family, and finding yourself.
