Starting at age 13 when his father's suicide spun his family into chaos, Donald Brown found himself swirling in a sea of uncertainty. He rebelled, was labeled a "loser," dropped out of high school, and put a promising baseball career on hold to join the Marines. A bizarre accident put his plans out of reach so he settled for a factory job where an industrial accident crushed his knee and left him wheelchair-bound. Doctors told him he'd never walk again. Then, his marriage failed. Brown felt utterly defeated. But while on morphine for pain Brown dreamed he would graduate from Harvard Law School and walk across America. Everyone told him he was crazy. Undeterred, over the next few years, Brown would accomplish both goals. This awe-inspiring story chronicles Brown's journey, both physical and metaphorical, to recalibrate his life. From Boston to Big Sur, from the factory floor to the halls of the Ivy League, this book celebrates determination and courage and offers hope for those who need to reboot their lives. The Morphine Dream will leave you cheering.

Do you lack self-confidence, or have a difficult time making decisions? Do you ever have a tough time feeling a sense of purpose and belonging, or feel that the demands and expectations by parents and school are theirs ... but not yours? Do you sometimes have fear of failure, or fear that you don t know how to deal with bullying behavior from others? It doesn t have to be that way! I know because all of the above were once true for me. I wandered through my first 18 years of life without actually feeling that I was in control of anything. I wasn't a good student, my home life left a lot to be desired, and I spent a lot of time being frustrated. Then I was introduced to the gym and everything changed. The gym taught me discipline, which led me to think about my life and to set goals. As a result, I went from just aimlessly hanging out to setting and achieving goals. I often wish I had caught on sooner, which is why I wrote this book. I'll show you how to: develop mental toughness (a life without fear, stress, and anger); engage an asset mind-set to get whatever you want; become and stay healthy and fit; build an athlete for life mentality that stresses excellence; set and achieve goals that matter.

FOREWORD by Craig Kielburger, Free the Children Foundation. When the Children's Wish Foundation approached lovely thirteen-year-old Maddison Babineau just after she received her cancer diagnosis, they offered her the wish of a lifetime. You can anything, they said: A Disney cruise? The chance to meet your favorite movie star? A five thousand dollar shopping spree? To those who knew her, it came as no surprise that none of these things were on Maddie s wish list.But she did know exactly what she wanted. She had been moved to tears after watching a television program about the plight of orphaned children in an African village whose suffering was made all the more tragic because of inadequate shelter, lack of food, and clean drinking water. Maddie s wish? To ease the plight of these children, half-way across the world. With the money from the foundation, Maddie built the village orphans shelter and a school, she provided food and clean water. But this was just the start. Despite being bedridden, and then hospital-bound by her disease, until her dying day Maddie became an indefatigable fundraiser for her children. Maddie was recognized, in life and posthumously, with a number of awards, honors, and memorials. But, until the end, all that was important to her was providing hope and future to the village children who had filled her heart.

Did you ever feel a need to shake up your life a bit? Jane Congdon did, but it wasn't the wildlife, the fresh air, the scenery, or the promise of a simple life that drew the retired editor into the woods. It was the Wild Effect! Record numbers of women were taking to the trails after reading Cheryl Strayed's best-selling memoir. Jane spent 17 weeks on the Appalachian Trail, logging 1,200 miles hiking with partners, alone, and with a glass good-luck charm named Ms. Rabbit. This is her fascinating and humorous account of life in a land of bears, wild pigs, volatile weather, trail town stops, and the personalities she met along the way--and how it changed her perceptions of both Mother Nature and human nature.

Veteran film and TV actor John Rixey Moore takes a trip across the country in an open air buggy. Admitting that nature helps him realize that "the universe is conscious," and as philosophical as ever, he gives voice to thoughts along the way. If a brain is just a few pounds of goo, blood and electricity, how does it manage to dream, to worry, contemplate itself, do time and motion studies, admire the shy paw of a cat, design ships and enjoy all the grand and lesser mayhems of the heart? How can a neuron feel compassion? How do you begin with hydrogen and end up with buildings, neckties, jealousy, and chamber music?"
