Um mergulho profundo na vida do mais querido autor motivacional de todos os tempos Napoleon Hill escreveu em duas ocasiões extensas memórias sobre sua vida, começando com sua juventude em Wise County, Virgínia, e terminando durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Os arquivos da Fundação Napoleon Hill contêm esses dois manuscritos, mas eles estão obviamente incompletos e terminam na década de 1940 - Hill morreu em 1970. Seu último livro, Enriqueça com paz de espírito, escrito em 1967, lança alguma luz sobre seus últimos anos; mas seus próprios diários e memórias daqueles anos, se é que existiram, ainda não foram encontrados. As duas memórias contêm muitos detalhes sobre seus sucessos e fracassos nos negócios - e houve mais fracassos do que sucessos, como ele admite prontamente. Elas contêm insights profundos sobre o estado de espírito desse grande pensador - como ele lidou com o fracasso, lucrou com a derrota, transformou a adversidade em vantagem e, finalmente, alcançou a felicidade. Os curadores da Fundação Napoleon Hill combinaram as duas memórias em uma, eliminando as repetições e colocando os eventos em ordem cronológica quando fazia sentido fazê-lo. A roda da fortuna é uma sincera homenagem ao maior pensador e escritor de todos os tempos nas áreas de realização pessoal e autoaperfeiçoamento.

Os 7 passos que faltavam para você ter tudo o que deseja e viver em harmonia! Prosperidade pode significar coisas diferentes para pessoas diferentes.

Um amante, professor e buscador espiritual de toda a vida de Ralph Waldo Emerson revela como os doze ensinamentos essenciais do filósofo americano contêm a resposta para viver uma vida autêntica e plena, que esteja em harmonia com nossas almas. Neste livro sábio e esclarecedor, o premiado autor Mark Matousek revela como a sabedoria atemporal de Emerson pode nos ajudar com os problemas que enfrentamos hoje. O "estoico original" da América confrontou muitas das questões que temos diante de nós, desde a polarização às notícias falsas, dos políticos corruptos e do materialismo desenfreado ao flagelo do racismo. Matousek explica que o caminho de autossuficiência de Emerson pode melhorar radicalmente a sua qualidade de vida. Também conhecido como Oráculo da Concórdia, ele enfatizou o autoconhecimento e a atenção plena como caminhos para a felicidade, tal como os estoicos antes dele. À medida que o mundo descobre mais uma vez o poder do estoicismo, Matousek mostra por que a visão de Emerson, cujos princípios são universais, é precisamente o remédio de que precisamos hoje. O filósofo nos incentiva a abandonar convenções e banalidades, a nos explorar em profundidade, a dizer a verdade sobre o que encontramos lá e a despertar para nosso maior potencial.

The definitive biography of the musical trailblazer who launched the rockabilly craze with his classic "Blue Suede Shoes," was the influence behind countless other legendary hits, and who became a rock and roll legend in his own right, the original rockabilly cat--Carl Perkins. He was the King of Rockabilly, and one of rock and roll's true pioneers. A groundbreaking guitarist, singer, and songwriter, Carl Perkins inspired countless musicians in country, rock, and pop music. His influence is enormous. As Paul McCartney said, "If there were no Carl Perkins, there would be no Beatles." One Beatle was such a fan that he gave himself the stage name Carl Harrison. Now acclaimed music writer Jeff Apter recounts Carl Perkins's remarkable life story, the triumphs, tragedies, and career highlights that include some of the most pivotal moments in music history. Born in Tennessee to poor sharecroppers, Carl grew up listening to gospel and country music, learned blues guitar from a fellow field hand, and started writing songs at age fourteen. He plied his trade in rough and rowdy honky-tonks performing with his brothers before beginning his recording career at the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis. It was there that Carl became a member of the fabled "Million Dollar Quartet," alongside Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis. In 1955 he wrote and recorded "Blue Suede Shoes," the first record by a Sun artist to sell over a million copies. But then a fateful car crash stalled his career, one of many tragedies in Carl's life. Over the following decades, Presley, Cash, and countless other artists from The Beatles, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan to Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix performed and recorded his songs and became Carl's friends, collaborators, and champions. Rich with insider detail and background into Carl's private battles, humanitarian work, and personal inspirations, this is a fascinating, in-depth look at "Mr. Blue Suede Shoes" and his one-of-a-kind legacy.

Long before Brooklyn was known as the world's hippest neighborhood, it was the deadliest - the seedy, dangerous underbelly of New York City, where mobsters and gangs could commit murder and dump dead bodies without getting caught. For more than a hundred years, the Red Hook section of Brooklyn was Ground Zero for organized crime. Whoever controlled the piers controlled everything. From the infamous Irish gang known as The White Hand at the turn of the century, to the notorious Italian Gallo brothers who ran President Street--and everything else--generations later, the blood-soaked history of Red Hook is the story of American crime at its most powerful, corrupt, and coldly efficient. It's all here: the brutal mob hits, bullet storms, and backstabbings of the most colorful cutthroats to ever terrorize the streets. A rogue's gallery of killers with nicknames like "The Mad Hatter," "The Executioner," "Wild Bill," and "Peg Leg." The Brooklyn bar fight that gave Al "Scarface" Capone his legendary scars. The godfather of America's first Sicilian crime family whose gruesomely mangled hand could scare men half to death. And, to bring it all home, the author's own eyewitness account of multiple shootings growing up as the son of a Mafia bodyguard. Packed with jaw-dropping stories of public violence and personal vengeance, vivid insights into the Mafia's way of life, and shocking portraits of America's most wanted crime families, Red Hook is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the history of organized crime in America.
