“A precisely crafted and bracingly honest” memoir of war and its aftershocks from the New York Times–bestselling author of Matterhorn (The Atlantic). In 1968, at the age of twenty-three, Karl Marlantes was dropped into the highland jungle of Vietnam, an inexperienced lieutenant in command of forty Marines who would live or die by his decisions. In his thirteen-month tour he saw intense combat, killing the enemy and watching friends die. Marlantes survived, but like many of his brothers in arms, he has spent the last forty years dealing with his experiences. In What It Is Like to Go to War, Marlantes takes a candid look at these experiences and critically examines how we might better prepare young soldiers for war. In the past, warriors were prepared for battle by ritual, religion, and literature—which also helped bring them home. While contemplating ancient works from Homer to the Mahabharata, Marlantes writes of the daily contradictions modern warriors are subject to, of being haunted by the face of a young North Vietnamese soldier he killed at close quarters, and of how he finally found a way to make peace with his past. Through it all, he demonstrates just how poorly prepared our nineteen-year-old warriors are for the psychological and spiritual aspects of the journey. In this memoir, the New York Times–bestselling author of Matterhorn offers “a well-crafted and forcefully argued work that contains fresh and important insights into what it’s like to be in a war and what it does to the human psyche” (The Washington Post).

Discover Why Men Come on Strong Then Suddenly Lose Interest If you are currently dating, at some point you''ve probably been blindsided and left utterly frustrated after a great guy suddenly lost interest in you even though he seemed so passionate in the beginning. Maybe you''ve been completely heartbroken after a long-term boyfriend suddenly started pulling away from you. Sadly, as unfortunate as these dating situations are, when they do occur, most women tend to act in counterproductive ways that only end up pushing their guy even further away, maybe even for good. What to Do When Men Pull Away, Become Distant, or Try to Ignore You No woman can change the reality that any man, no matter how interested or invested he may first appear, can potentially pull away and lose interest in her at some point. Although this is the reality, a woman can, in fact, change the way she deals with such situations. While you might not be able to control a man''s behavior, you can control your own. Being in control of your emotions, especially when a man''s behavior threatens your future with him, will make it easier for you to influence his heart and make him see you as an irreplaceable, high-value woman. But in order to effectively influence a man''s heart, a woman must possess a deep understanding of how men think - why they lose interest and what scares them away from a blossoming relationship. How to Finally Understand Men and Never Be Confused by Their Behavior Again The thing is, a woman can astronomically increase her chances of dating success by doing one simple thing: understanding men. Rather than responding in desperation and frantic fretting, when a woman truly understands male dating behavior, she becomes far more confident and capable in dealing with men whenever they pull away or attempt to ghost her. Fortunately, in, Never Get Ghosted Again, you''re going to get an inside look into how men think when it comes to women and dating. In this fun and insightful dating book for women, you will discover the secret reasons why men suddenly lose interest, what causes men to fall in (and out of) love with a woman, and how to prevent that special guy from disappearing on you. Here''s what you''re going to learn inside: The BIGGEST reason why men pull away whenever you start giving them MORE of your love and attention. The seven things that make a man feel as if he''s "just not ready" for a SERIOUS relationship with a GREAT woman. What to do (and what NOT to do) when the man you desire suddenly starts losing interest in you. The six man-repelling behaviors that SCARE men away on a first date. (Hint: You''ll finally understand why many guys QUICKLY lose interest in highly educated, smart, and successful women.) Exactly what goes on in the mind of a man who suddenly "BREAKS THINGS OFF" with a woman he deeply cares about. The nine ways good-hearted women unknowingly CHASE men away by "Coming on Too Strong". (Hint: Avoid these "red flag" dating behaviors if you want to keep HIM chasing YOU instead.) What to say and do to STOP an on-coming break-up in its tracks to potentially SAVE the relationship. The twelve TIME-WASTING signs that reveals when a man sees you as his "PLAN B" and nothing more. (Hint: Knowing these signs will keep you from being seduced into a DEAD-END relationship with an emotionally unavailable man.)

The classic guide to a powerful technique that can increase your mindfulness and lead to personal transformation Based on groundbreaking research conducted at the University of Chicago, the focusing technique has gained widespread popularity and scholarly acclaim. It consists of six easy-to-master steps that identify and change the way thoughts and emotions are held within the body. Focusing can be done virtually anywhere, at any time, and an entire “session” can take no longer than ten minutes, but its effects can be felt immediately–in the relief of bodily tension and psychological stress, as well as in dramatic shifts in understanding and insight. In this highly accessible guide, Dr. Eugene Gendlin, the award-winning psychologist who developed the focusing technique, explains the basic principles behind focusing and offers simple step-by-step instructions on how to utilize this powerful tool for tapping into greater self-awareness and inner wisdom. As you learn to develop your natural ability to “focus,” you’ll find yourself more in sync with both mind and body, filled with greater self-assurance, and better equipped to make the positive changes necessary to improve and enhance every aspect of your life.

It was 6 p.m. when the Devil walked into my office and had a seat. Bounty hunter Victor McCain always wondered how his brother, Mikey, went from down-n-out loser to one of Louisville's richest men. Now he knew: his brother sold his soul to the Devil. And in twenty-four hours, Mikey would die and spend eternity in Hell unless Victor agreed to hunt down a thief, a woman as deadly as she is beautiful. On a journey of murder and betrayal, Victor must now put his own soul at risk to save his only brother, battle a dark underground organization with the goal of nothing less than global war between Christians and Muslims, and fight creatures from man's darkest nightmares. Then there's the Hand of God, God's own bounty hunter. In the end, will he be friend or enemy? Only Heaven knows.
