Story5 out of 5 stars 340
Of the 1.3 million active-duty service members in the US military, only a tiny fraction are selected as “operators.” Shannon Kent was one of the first women to serve at this level and was widely recognized as one of the best. Shannon served as a Navy cryptologic technician, responsible for signals intelligence and electronic warfare, but her proficiency with language set her apart. She was assigned to a unit so secretive that its name can’t even be printed here, where she worked clandestinely to hunt the most wanted terrorists in the world.

Her actions always spoke louder than her words which means everything she did in the time she was here will last forever. I do not have words for this. I'm blown away I did not know about her until now. Thank you Joe Kent for bringing her story to the public.

From the moment she burst onto the MMA scene, Ronda Rousey was unbeatable. She repeatedly strung together back-to-back flawless victories, racking up a collection of records and forever changing the face of sports as the UFC’s first female champion. A superstar in her sport, she transcended athletics, appearing in blockbuster films and becoming a role model for women everywhere. Then, on November 15, 2015, it all came crashing down. In OUR FIGHT, Rousey explores the greatest challenge of her life and, ultimately, how she rebuilt her life into something better in the aftermath.

Raised in Dublin, Ireland, in a devoutly Catholic family, Rebecca Quin constantly invented new ways to make her mother worry—roughhousing with the neighborhood kids, hosting secret parties while her parents were away, enrolling in a warehouse wrestling school, nearly breaking her neck and almost kneecapping a WWE star before her own wrestling career even began—and she was always in search of a thrilling escape from the ordinary.

Reviewed: 04-12-24
This audiobook is so enjoyable and Rebecca Quinn is entirely authentic in putting this book out. I can relate to her struggles because I've always just kind of been average myself so to see her succeed in professional wrestling and in life makes me hopeful that maybe in my lifetime I'll find something that makes me just as happy as her life makes her. A fabulous listen.

From a New York Times investigative reporter, this “authoritative and devastating account of the impacts of social media” (New York Times Book Review) tracks the high-stakes inside story of how Big Tech’s breakneck race to drive engagement—and profits—at all costs fractured the world, and is “an essential book for our times” (Ezra Klein).

No matter how much advice we get or how much work we do on our “stuff,” nothing ever seems to make the difference. The truth of it is, you’re woefully ill-equipped for one of the most life-defining things you will ever take on—being in a committed relationship. Whether you’re currently in one, want to be in one, half in–half out, getting over one, married, single, separated, divorced, or just overwhelmed with the whole thing, let’s cut through the morass of relationship schtick and put you back in charge.

Be Honorable
Reviewed: 02-04-22
Back about 9 years ago in 2012, I was having a conversation with a friend about relationships. Low and behold, said exactly what Gary John Bishop said in this book everything is a relationship. If I want to have just a little bit more motivation at the time I probably would have written this book myself. I'm not a coach but I do want the world to be in a better place especially relationships. Gary doesn't lie when he says this isn't that hippy dippy b*******! It's a little bit unconventional and reverse psychology but it makes absolute sense. Most of all it's about being you and being an honorable person too. Thanks for the book Gary.

Do not believe Violet could have done a more remarkable job of writing this book. It's tremendous! No other way to put it. Purchased it after viewing Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Mr. Harold Ramis will be know for generations for being a gentle & authentic person. He lived is life in meaningful & soul filling ways. Thank you for sharing this Violet. Somewhere Mr. Harold Ramis is absolutely thrilled with this, just like I am. Humbled to have been here to experience this book & your life. Thank you again!

Gary Bruce is a slacker of epic loserness. Can’t keep a job. His friends are as bad as he is. No girlfriend. No direction. Gary Bruce is also a werewolf. Desperate for any kind of success, Gary decides to out himself on YouTube. The moment this ordinary guy goes full-on fur, fangs, and claws, the world can’t get enough of him. He’s the biggest thing on social media, he’s on every talk show, book and movie deals fall in his lap, and for the first time in his life he gets invited to all the best parties. But celebrity is a special kind of voracious monster.
