We are all wandering through life to get to know ourselves better, to understand our purpose in the world, and to respond to an inner calling we cannot fully describe or understand." These are the words of author, Y.R. Lacska. This book takes us along on his personal hero's journey through the worlds of martial arts, qigong, psychology, and spirituality, as he gradually discovers his life's purpose. While this book doesn't provide the answers to life's questions, the author's informative and illustrative approach to sharing his insights, inspired by the wisdom of C.G. Jung, Joseph Campbell, and others, and enriched by his personal stories, provides an engaging, humorous, and poignant framework for reflecting on our own life, and struggling with our own questions and challenges. In reading this book, we learn that like the heroines, heroes, and wanderers in myths and stories, we don't know how our future will unfold, but if we learn to trust our hearts, the helpers along the way, and guidance from the transpersonal, we may just find our own way.

Dangerous and disregarding people don't just drop out of the sky. Nor are they born bloodthirsty and cruel. When looking at the developmental years of adult criminals and juvenile delinquents or the selfish patterns of anyone that we must rub shoulders with, the question is asked "How does one get this way?" Typically we can see the answers within their genetic mental health history which may hint of possible concern and their first 5 years after birth which is their most impressionable social training ground.This volume reveals what the source and beginnings of aberrant behavior looks like, and what the adults they become act like. It also gives us perspective as to how to recognize and at least avoid predators in regular person clothing.Is there a cure or pill for predatory behavior?Is there hope for your relative or coworker from Hell?Where they come from, what they look like and how we can prevent or dodge them is the purpose of this book.When it comes to the above questions Theodore Robert Bundy's life gives us all the information we need.

Nel 1992, in una cerimonia per commemorare il 50º anniversario dell'Office of Strategic Services (OSS) e dedicare un memoriale ai membri che persero la vita durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, il direttore della CIA Robert M. Gates menzionò in particolare un individuo: Roderick Stephen Goodspeed Hall. La proposta di Hall di "lanciare un uomo con il paracadute" dietro le linee nemiche nel nord-est dell'Italia con l'intenzione di bloccare il Passo del Brennero e così accelerare la fine della guerra, e la sua successiva morte in un campo di prigionia nazista, sono state oggetto di una biografia scritta dallo storico militare Patrick K. O'Donnell, che definisce l'episodio "la missione spia più audace" della guerra. Donna Hennessee Bryan, la cui suocera era la prima cugina non geneticamente imparentata di Hall e anche la sua prima innamorata, rivela come le dinamiche familiari abbiano aiutato a motivare Hall a ideare e cercare di eseguire un piano così audace. Pubblicate qui per la prima volta ci sono due delle storie di Hall, che confermano il suo desiderio di diventare scrittore e forse l'eroe della sua stessa storia. Anche pubblicata qui per la prima volta in inglese c'è una trascrizione del diario di guerra di Hall con annotazioni dello storico italiano Paolo Zoratti. Ma la cosa più significativa di tutte è la narrazione di Bryan sull'entità con cui Hall viene ricordato decenni dopo nel nord-est dell'Italia, basata su interviste con partigiani con cui ha lavorato e sulla partecipazione di Bryan alle cerimonie organizzate per raccontare la storia della Resistenza italiana e ricordare l'eredità di Steve Hall. Come ha riconosciuto Gates, la saga di Hall è una delle storie più memorabili emerse dalla Seconda Guerra Mondiale.
