Book excerpt: The great lie of our society is that mental health and mental illness are the same. Lorenzo Gomez wants to dispel that notion for good. In his new book, Tafolla Toro, he reaches back in time to share stories of his turbulent, traumatic, and often violent middle school years in one of San Antonio's most crime-riddled neighborhoods. He opens up to reveal the fear, anxiety, and hopelessness he felt as a teenager and how those forces shaped his life until he began taking steps as an adult to improve his mental health. Alternating between shocking stories from his youth and letters written to his 12-year-old self, Lorenzo shows young people how to retake the battle of their mind by dealing with what is true and dismantling the lies that lead to self-deception. In Lorenzo's journey, readers will see someone who understands what they feel, knows what they're going through, and is standing up to tell them: Decide today that you are worthy.

Book Synopsis The Rack We Built: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly of Creating Company Culture by : Lorenzo Gomez

This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, the thought of launching a startup in San Antonio was ludicrous-but that didn't stop Rackspace's founders from planting their flag in the heart of Texas. Just over two decades later, the scrappy little underdog that no one believed in is a billion-dollar business with more than 6,000 employees worldwide. One of the first ten account managers hired at Rackspace was Lorenzo Gomez. He was there when the company became the host for YouTube and saw the decade-long stretch where each month brought one-hundred new hires. The rocket ship growth was exhilarating but exposed Rackspace's early flaws, including avoiding customers at all costs. When the mission shifted to becoming one of the world's greatest service companies, everything changed. Suddenly, Rackspace had a rallying cry-"fanatical support"-and a culture that few companies could match. The Rack We Built is Lorenzo's recollections from those days, told only as he can tell it: through stories packed with style, heart, and humor. With the principles in the book, you can create the type of culture that makes people want to volunteer their best.

Determined not to give up the good-food fight, Betsy comes up with a creative ten-step makeover plan.

Download or read book Guantánamo Diary written by Mohamedou Ould Slahi and published by Back Bay Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed national bestseller, the first and only diary written by a Guantánamo detainee during his imprisonment, now with previously censored material restored. When GUANTÁNAMO DIARY was first published--heavily redacted by the U.S. government--in 2015, Mohamedou Ould Slahi was still imprisoned at the detainee camp in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, despite a federal court ruling ordering his release, and it was unclear when or if he would ever see freedom. In October 2016, he was finally released and reunited with his family. During his 14-year imprisonment, the United States never charged him with a crime. Now for the first time, he is able to tell his story in full, with previously censored material restored. This searing diary is not merely a vivid record of a miscarriage of justice, but a deeply personal memoir---terrifying, darkly humorous, and surprisingly gracious. GUANTÁNAMO DIARY is a document of immense emotional power and historical importance.

Book excerpt: How does an impressionable 17-year-old girl deal with Fat Phil the Wet Kisser and a revolution at the same time? Ithaca Diaries is a coming of age memoir set at Cornell University in the tumultuous 1960s. The story is told in first person from the point of view of a smart, sassy, funny, scared, sophisticated yet naive college student who can laugh at herself while she and the world around her are having a nervous breakdown. Based on the author's diaries and letters, interviews and other primary and secondary accounts of the time, Ithaca Diaries describes collegiate life as protests, politics, and violence increasingly engulf the student, her campus, and her nation. Her irreverent observations serve as a prism for understanding what it was like to live through those tumultuous times.While often laugh-out-loud funny, they provide meaningful insight into the process of political and social change we continue to experience, today. Author James McConkey has called the book "a remarkable achievement." According to historian Carol Kammen, Ithaca Diaries is "earnest, honest and funny. Historically important in addition to being an engaging coming-of-age story.""
