Bulletproof wades through the fact and fiction of real life police work with no punches held back. It is raw, honest, humorous and gritty. It not only breaks down what we think is protecting us in life, it reveals the truth of what being bulletproof really means, how it makes life better and leaves you wondering, "What if I was bulletproof?" "A heck of a ride..." -Lt. Col. Dave Grossman "Like watching an action film or a TV cop show...a must read." -Jim Burgen, Pastor Flatirons Community Church "...gives a new meaning to the word 'bulletproof.' Its lessons could change your life." -Tim Hall, former U.S. Marine (Vietnam) "...a piercing look into the soul and for those who are worn down by the bullets of ambiguity, heartbreaking tragedy and cynicism." -Mike O'Neill, Police Commander (ret.) "...a new found appreciation for body armor." -Gino Geraci, Chaplain Denver F.B.I. Todd Gentry is a veteran street cop with over fifteen years of law enforcement experience.

In his midtwenties, Dave Asprey was a successful Silicon Valley multimillionaire. He also weighed 300 pounds, despite the fact that he was doing what doctors recommended: eating 1,800 calories a day and working out 90 minutes a day, six times a week. When his excess fat started causing brain fog and food cravings sapped his energy and willpower, Asprey turned to the same hacking techniques that made his fortune to "hack" his own biology, investing more than $300,000 and 15 years to uncover what was hindering his energy, performance, appearance, and happiness. From private brain EEG facilities to remote monasteries in Tibet, through radioactive brain scans, blood chemistry work, nervous system testing, and more, he explored traditional and alternative technologies to reach his physical and mental prime. The result? The Bulletproof Diet, an anti-inflammatory program for hunger-free, rapid weight loss and peak performance. The Bulletproof Diet will challenge--and change--the way you think about weight loss and wellness. You will skip breakfast, stop counting calories, eat high levels of healthy saturated fat, work out and sleep less, and add smart supplements. In doing so, you'll gain energy, build lean muscle, and watch the pounds melt off. By ditching traditional "diet" thinking, Asprey went from being overweight and sick in his twenties to maintaining a 100-pound weight loss, increasing his IQ, and feeling better than ever in his forties. The Bulletproof Diet is your blueprint to a better life.
Sergeant Bill Smithe was going to die. He knew it. The madman who kidnapped his baby granddaughter knew it. He just hoped he could save six-month-old Claire before it happened. Bill hadn’t known when he locked Tom Lockman up for murder all those years ago that his crazy brother would eventually try to get revenge. It wasn’t just that Charles wanted Tom released. No. They both knew Charles’ real goal was to kill Bill. If he simply wanted Tom released, he would have given Bill more than eight hours to do it. As if Charles’ short timeline wasn’t enough, Claire has diabetes, and won’t make it through the eight hours without her insulin shot. Bill must call in his entire police force to search the town and keep the rest of his family safe. The only silver lining is a frail woman named Jenny, Tom’s wife. She’s with Charles, but Bill has a feeling she’s not there willingly, and may be the only thing keeping Claire safe. During Bill’s hourly phone calls with Charles, Jenny is able to secretly provide him with information about their whereabouts. The problem is the information is cryptic, and Bill doesn’t know if he’ll find them in time.
A WIRED 2020 Book of the Year Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. "Nothing's bulletproof," the salesman said. "The thing's only bullet resistant." The New York Times journalist Kenneth R. Rosen had just purchased his first bulletproof vest and was headed off on assignment. He was travelling into Mosul, Iraq, when he realized that the idea of a bulletproof vest is more effective than the vest itself. From its very inception, poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide, or Kevlar, was meant for tires. Its humble roots and mundane applications are often lost, as it is now synonymous with body armor, war zones, and domestic terrorism. What Rosen learned through intimate use of his vest was that it acts as a metaphor for all the precautions we take toward digital, physical, and social security. Bulletproof Vest is at once an introspective journey into the properties and precisions of a bulletproof vest on a molecular level and on the world stage. It's also an ode to living precariously, an open letter that defends the notion that life is worth the risk. A portion of the author's proceeds will be donated to RISC, a nonprofit that provides emergency medical training to freelance conflict journalists. For more information, go to www.risctraining.org. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
