This book is about leadership for middle school and high school students; nothing more, nothing less. This book has a singular focus, to make students aware of how critical the concept of leadership is to their personal happiness and success. I have been there, done that; it may have been a different time in history, but lots of teen challenges nonetheless. Yes, times have changed and personal, family and societal issues may now have different priorities and obstacles, but the need to be an effective leader remains paramount. So, whether its 1967 or 2011, some things remain the same. This book covers 10 key leadership attributes. There are certainly many more, but I have chosen a select 10 that I think every young adult should master to become an effective leader, not just for their school years, but for a lifetime beyond. Leadership is, without question, one of the more critical ingredients to anyone’s personal and professional success. There simply is no substitute. If we all desire to achieve some measure of happiness and success in our lives, then becoming an effective leader is a must.

If life is an epic saga, who’s in charge of your narrative? Is the plot unfolding as you imagined? Whether you find yourself trudging along in boredom or caught up in a chaotic whirlwind of overcommitment, you can still take creative control and call for Take 2. This is a book about rebooting your life at any point. It’s about starting over; taking inventory; and getting smarter, stronger, and sexier with no apologies, no regrets, and no turning back. I took control of my journey while in the glare of the spotlight. Now I’m sharing the life lessons from my "grits to glitz" path as a wife and mother, caregiver, businesswoman, television personality, product mogul, kisser of boo-boos, and encourager of dreams. Of course I have many more roles, just as you do, but I want to approach them all in the same way: fearlessly and without limits. I’ll hold up the mirror so that you can see who you really are – including all the dramatic plot twists and turns that can make this your most fulfilling adventure ever. This is your life, and you’re about to set out on the path to your second take by reclaiming your power, owning who you are, and loving it!

"Feeding Your Inner Monster" shares an innovative approach to life in order to teach others how to view themselves in a new way, achieve goals, and move forward to a successful future. Dr. David Picone and John Hunt have combined their years of diverse experience as a psychiatrist and attorney to create a guidebook for anyone ready to reorient the way they view themselves and reevaluate the virtues and vices that control society and prevent us from reaching our true potential. Dr. Picone and Hunt begin by examining our command and control mechanisms and then offer practical steps that teach exactly how to gain power over emotional stability, therefore opening the door to an acceptance of the true self. Including practical tools and exercises, others will learn the importance of being in touch with the inner monster, the ways to seek and find the inner monster, and then the means to utilize the inner monster's strength to face life's challenges and opportunities. For those ready to stop fighting with socially-defined shadows and gain power from all they fear, this radically different method of viewing life will lead anyone down a path where the ultimate reward is releasing the potential that was always there.

Character is doing what is right when no one else is looking. Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others. Never put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket. Quantity is what you count; quality is what you count on. Very few burdens are heavy if everyone lifts. These are just a few of the quotations that I have included in this book. It is a culmination of over four decades of gathering quotes and sayings, noticing church and marquee signs and bumper stickers and, most recently, researching on the Internet. In the preface for this book, I went through and listed quotes that meant a lot to me, but as I look back, I realize that they all mean something to me. I hope that you can use them for motivation, reflection, and inspiration.

Set several decades ago in a midsize city called Essick, Mitchs narrative focuses on his workers and the running of his business. The crew he attracts are not those men who make the world go round but the kind he has always been drawn to: the ones who do not go round but wobble on their cosmic axle.

Multiple races of marathon distance or greater in a month...or perhaps in a weekend. Several unsupported runs of 50 and 100 miles through the mountains and forests several times a year. Have you ever considered running through a desert, across a frozen tundra or over multiple mountain ranges? Why not run for three days straight to see how many miles you can accrue? Welcome to a place where no locale is too inhospitable and no distance impossible. Welcome...to the Darkside. The Darkside Running Club, established in 2002 is a place where runners meet to express their love for distance running and camaraderie by spending countless hours and miles committed to doing what they enjoy most. They share a singular focus towards achieving goals far off in the distance, both literally and figuratively. With their dedication and commitment you may believe the Darksider to be a professional athlete, or perhaps an Olympian. But you would be wrong: they are simply ordinary people doing extraordinary things in the sport they love: running. Highly competitive while never taking themselves too seriously, they strive to shave off minutes or perhaps hours while adding a mile or two...or twenty while pushing their limits further and further. The impossible becomes possible; dreams become reality. They won't take 'no' for an answer as they persevere to move beyond physical and emotional discomfort to finish what they started. Excuses don't exist. Their passion is contagious. So reader be warned: they're in it for the long run.
