Other Wes Moore
The Other Wes Moore
Other Wes Moore
The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his. Two kids named Wes Moore were born blocks apart within a year of each other. Both grew up fatherless in similar Baltimore neighborhoods and had difficult childhoods; both hung out on street corners with their crews; both ran into trouble with the police. How, then, did one grow up to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader, while the other ended up a convicted murderer serving a life sentence? Wes Moore, the author of this fascinating book, sets out to answer this profound question. In alternating narratives that take readers from heart-wrenching losses to moments of surprising redemption, The Other Wes Moore tells the story of a generation of boys trying to find their way in a hostile world.
Brian fra Amager
Brian Holm har spillet mange forskellige roller i livet – som murer, cykelrytter, sportsdirektør, tv-kommentator, foredragsholder, kræftpatient, politiker, ægtemand og far. Mere end noget andet er han dog en dreng fra Amager, som tidligt lærte, at livet kan være uretfærdigt, men at det ikke nytter noget at sætte sig ned og græde eller konstant at mærke efter, hvordan man har det. Så risikerer man at drukne i selvmedlidenhed. Tilværelsen handler om at komme videre. Alene forsøget giver selvrespekt og stolthed. I BRIAN FRA AMAGER fortæller han hele livshistorien med sin velkendte ligefremme facon og tørre humor. Der er masser af røverhistorier fra landevejen. Men først og fremmest er bogen en bittersød hyldest til barndommens ø. En fortælling om mindreværd, dumdristighed, stædighed, frygt, mod, trodsighed og hævn. Og om erkendelsen af, at selvom de hårdeste altid overlever på en cykel, er det ikke nødvendigvis sådan i det civile liv.

Samtaler med Bob Moore
Bob Moore har inspireret rigtig mange terapeuter og undervisere indenfor (og udenfor) den alternative verden bl.a. i Danmark. Han har altid formidlet sin lære gennem undervisning med direkte kontakt til kursisten. Denne bog er unik. Gennem en række samtaler deler han for første gang ud af sin visdom til en større kreds af læsere. Bogen har før været udgivet i et mindre oplag til en lukket kreds af kursister. Med denne udgivelse er den nu blevet tilgængelig for alle og indeholder to nye appendix samt et stikordsregister. Det er en bog, der kan læses mange gange. Bob Moores ord rækker ofte dybere, end man måske forstod dem i første omgang. Bogen omhandler først og fremmest ?loso?en bag Bob Moores arbejde. I Bob Moores lære går vejen til at forstå og hjælpe andre igennem arbejdet med at forstå og hjælpe sig selv. Det er gennem erkendelsen af, at det er ud fra forbindelsen til vores spirituelle kvaliteter, at vi kan forstå og transformere vores problemer. Den bygger på en viden om

It is from this understanding that we can understand and transform our problems through connection to our spiritual qualities. It is based on knowledge of human energy structures and a deep understanding of how we can work with these energy structures.

The Lives Of Brian
The son of a British army sergeant-major and Italian mother, Brian grew up in Dunston, Tyne and Wear, as it emerged from the shadow of the Second World War. Then he saw Little Richard on the BBC and it changed the course of his life. The choirboy and cub scout was going to be singer. For over a decade he tried to make his mark with a succession of bands. He appeared on to Top of the Pops, toured Australia and yet the big time looked out of reach. Then he was invited to London for an audition for one of the world's biggest rock acts. AC/DC were a band in crisis following the tragic death of their lead singer, Bon Scott, but with Brian on board they would record their masterpiece: Back in Black. It became the biggest selling rock album of all time. The tour that followed played to packed out arenas. Quickly embraced by the band's fans, the new boy had earned his spurs. But there was to be a twist in the tale. In 2016, Brian was forced to quit the band after being diagnosed with hearing loss, only to make a triumphant return to the band he loved with the release of 2020's smash hit album Power Up. It's been a rollercoaster of a life, throughout which Brian's kept his feet firmly on the ground, never losing touch with his roots. Warm, vivid, evocative, life-affirming and often laugh-out-loud funny, The Lives of Brian tells the story of one of our most well-loved performers in his own inimitable voice.
