For decades he traveled miles and miles with college teams on buses and witnessed the transformation in athletics from the introduction of Title IX to today’s “get-back” coaches. He occupied a dugout seat for an Old Timer’s baseball game, shook hands post-game with Bobby Bowden at midfield and questioned Raymond Berry. He earned a technical foul from a basketball referee yet remains adored by baseball’s umpires. He flashed peace signs from the deck of President Nixon’s helicopter, owned an Orange Bowl record, was reluctantly driven by Bill Murray and attended a pre-race NASCAR drivers’ meeting. He sipped brandy with the Lord Mayor of Cork, Ireland, ordered one grit at the Waffle House, went out with Little Miss Sunbeam and was kissed by Morganna. He delighted in a press box beer with Bob Uecker, phoned Willie Mays with heartbreaking news, persuaded Phil Ford to pull a prank, and reflected in a cemetery with Pat Conroy. He worked games at the best and worst facilities, and crossed paths with many of today’s and yesterday’s sports figures on all levels.Only Andy Solomon could have done these things.

The world over, the job demands for managers and executives are expanding greatly in a world where yesterday’s competitive advantage is now easily disrupted in a technologically driven world. Individuals and organizations have to cope with a social media era where information is required at the speed of thought. Maintaining a mental balance in this fast-changing world requires an ability to act from a position of mental strength as much as possible. Incidents of diminished state of mind, feelings, moods, ability to relate to others and daily functioning are increasingly common in today’s world. In a few cases, executive burnouts have been linked to suicides. This book takes a dive at the root cause of individual and organizational burnouts and how to deal with mental perceptions that easily lead people to a distorted view of reality even in the most extreme of circumstances.

In a series of simple easy-to-understand chapters, the book provides a source of mental vitamin that reverses age-long decayed thinking patterns. A profound benefit of the understanding espoused in this book is the ease of application of its message - just a simple understanding of how life works: and resilience, motivation, drive, peak performance state of mind and bouncebackability begins to take hold of its listeners. ungekürzt.

Glancing into what should have been an empty grave, everyone gasps at the sight of blueish-white fingers exposed in the soil below....When the body of a teenage runaway is found hidden inside someone else’s grave in a small-town cemetery in the Lake District, an urgent call is made to forensic pathologist Beth Adams. Still traumatised by a recent attempt on her own life, one look at the beautiful girl’s broken body is enough to bring Beth out of hiding for the first time since her attack. She’s the only one who can help her trusted friend, Detective Josh Walker, crack the most shocking case of his career.

Throwing herself into her work Beth discovers traces of material beneath the victim’s fingernails that sets the team on the killer’s trail. But this critical lead comes at a dangerous price, exposing Beth’s whereabouts and dragging her back into her attacker’s line of fire once again. With Beth’s own life on the line, the investigation is already cracking under the pressure. Then another local girl goes missing....
