Major Richard J. "Dick" Meadows is renowned in military circles as a key figure in the development of the U.S. Army Special Operations. A highly decorated war veteran of the engagements in Korea and Vietnam, Meadows was instrumental in the founding of the U.S. Delta Force and hostage rescue force. Although he officially retired in 1977, Meadows could never leave the army behind, and he went undercover in the clandestine operations to free American hostages from Iran in 1980. The Quiet Professional: Major Richard J. Meadows of the U.S. Army Special Forces is the only biography of this exemplary soldier's life. Military historian Alan Hoe offers unique insight into Meadows, having served alongside him in 1960. The Quiet Professional is an insider's account that gives a human face to U.S. military strategy during the cold war. Major Meadows often claimed that he never achieved anything significant; The Quiet Professional proves otherwise, showcasing one of the great military minds of twentieth-century America.

Download The Quiet American Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A “masterful . . . brilliantly constructed novel” of love and chaos in 1950s Vietnam (Zadie Smith, The Guardian). It’s 1955 and British journalist Thomas Fowler has been in Vietnam for two years covering the insurgency against French colonial rule. But it’s not just a political tangle that’s kept him tethered to the country. There’s also his lover, Phuong, a young Vietnamese woman who clings to Fowler for protection. Then comes Alden Pyle, an idealistic American working in service of the CIA. Devotedly, disastrously patriotic, he believes neither communism nor colonialism is what’s best for Southeast Asia, but rather a “Third Force”: American democracy by any means necessary. His ideas of conquest include Phuong, to whom he promises a sweet life in the states. But as Pyle’s blind moral conviction wreaks havoc upon innocent lives, it’s ultimately his romantic compulsions that will play a role in his own undoing. Although criticized upon publication as anti-American, Graham Greene’s “complex but compelling story of intrigue and counter-intrigue” would, in a few short years, prove prescient in its own condemnation of American interventionism (The New York Times).

You're an introvert. You don't do loud, jazz-hands-y marketing activities, and you avoid networking like the plague. I know all about the ways your brain messes with your sense of self and your confidence because you're an introvert. The inner voices get all crazy and tell you all the stuff you "should" be doing to grow your business, only it feels terrible. Most of the extroverted business-building suggestions feel approximately as fun as poking your eyes out with spoons while getting run over by a dump truck. So you don't do them. Your decreasing confidence leads to declining interest in your business, which leads to decreasing profits. It becomes a vicious cycle that costs you thousands of dollars per year. More despair, fewer dollars, less interest in your business. Aaaaand repeat. We can stop that cycle with some simple changes that don't even involve leaving the house. As an introvert, your website has to do a TON of heavy lifting for your business. It has to get peeps to figure out what you do, fall in love with you, and then hand over their hard-earned money without once interacting with you personally. That's where Introverts at Work comes in. Together, we'll quickly and strategically revamp the words on your website to express more of who you are in business. We'll sell your stuff without hiding from the word 'sales' or falling into drone/corporate/professional mode. But first, you'll have to do some digging. You'll have to face your own fears of being judged for being too ______ or not _______ enough. You'll have to teach people how to treat you - meaning that you'll no longer answer e-mails at all hours of the day and night, that you'll refuse to fulfill that last minute order without a rush charge, and that you won't _______________ for any amount of money, where ______ is defined by you as the last thing on earth you want to do, ever. You'll have to say "no" way more often than you are right now. You'll have to share the truth about who you are with your website's visitors. The deep truth, not just the 'I like lipstick and making stuff' truth. You'll have to actively and willingly push money away from people who aren't a good fit, who don't share your values, or whom you just plain can't stand. You'll have to be a little bit vulnerable and a whole f***ing lot of brave. When you're done - when you've articulated your distinctive business flavor and then actively expressed it all over your website and your marketing materials - you'll be more powerful. Your business will be more directly aligned with who you are in the world. (It will probably be WAY more profitable, too.) You'll want to cuddle and/or spoon with your business at night, instead of dreading the work you put into it. In fact, you probably won't be able to keep your hands off of it.;) If you know that you need help expressing exactly who you are through your business - and that both thrills and scares the sh*t out of you - read this book.

Download The Quiet Profession: Supervisors of Psychotherapy Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The philosophy of teaching and supervising represented in Anne Alonso's book "The Quiet Profession" focuses on the potential of relationships to heal, and on the ways that feeling creates profound and transformational personal growth. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is learned through a kind of apprenticeship, one in which the supervisor functions as a mentor and model for the supervisee. It is not the acquisition of a specific technique or interventional skill that makes the difference, Anne argues; but rather, it is the development of internal capacities within the psychotherapist, to tolerate painful affect in ourselves and our patients, to be empathically attuned to our patients' dilemmas, and to hold our patients ambivalence about it all with a steady and reliable presence, that allows people to change. Central to this enterprise is the psychotherapist's ability to listen to what is being said underneath the words being uttered, and to begin to hear the faint but powerful voice of the ancient ghosts unconsciously coming alive in the patient's life in the present. It is Anne's belief, and a tenet of psychodynamic theory that, through this often silent but steady way of listening, the psychotherapist helps patients to begin to tell the only story of their life that really matters.
