Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In an autobiography marked by staggering vulnerability, former NBA star Mahmoud Abdul-Raufwhose given name was Chris Jackson before converting to Islam and changing it in 1991recounts the twists, turns, trials, and triumphs of his life. He is perhaps most well-known for being exiled from the league for praying-instead of standing and saluting the flag during the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" before games throughout the 199596 season. Abdul-Rauf's protest sent shockwaves through the NBA that can still be felt today.

Through evocative passages that place the reader in the heat of the moment as well as poignant portraits of the important people in his life, In the Blink of an Eyemust-read for anyone who has faced down adversity by standing up for the integrity of their own life, path, and identity.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. From cosmetics pioneer, medical trailblazer, and sexual assault survivor Victoria Jackson comes the seminal guide to rising from endless worry and rumination to a life of empowered action.Victoria Jackson doesn't look like a worrier. In one of the greatest American success stories of our times, she went from surviving a childhood riddled with constant worry and anxiety to bootstrapping a cosmetics empire. In 1989, Victoria Jackson Cosmetics became the first line to be sold on TV, and generated a billion in sales. Her trademark "No Makeup" makeup aesthetic revolutionized the beauty industry.Victoria, who was brutally attacked by the Pillowcase Rapist when she was 17, was too shaken to finish high school. Still, she possessed the one credential that matters-a survival instinct. But alongside that bravery, she carried a painful secret. As she taught millions the power of mascara, she grappled with crippling anxiety, at one point so debilitating that she couldn't function. What happened in 2008 only intensified the dread. Victoria and her husband, Bill, heard the shocking news that their daughter, then 14, had neuromyelitis optica (NMO), a rare, potentially fatal autoimmune disorder. She was given four years to live. Victoria's purpose became clear: finding a cure for NMO. Driven by a mom's fierce determination, she traded mascara for medicine and established the Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation. Yet as she poured herself into that mission, she continued to battle a private anguish.Now, for the first time during Victoria's extraordinary rise in the business and medical-research worlds, she pulls back the curtain on the shame-filled reality she endured. In We All Worry, Now What?, she shares how she has navigated the path from overwhelming worry and other panic disorders to a life rich in courage and connection. The result is a five-part wellness journey to moving past self-sabotage and embracing freedom. "When we're hit with an unimaginable crisis, how do we meet the moment?" Victoria writes. "Do we collapse in fear, or do we rise and act? How do we persevere against all odds? Those questions led me to write We All Worry, Now What?"The book is structured around the Warrior Walk, five steps Victoria has taken to slow anxiety's spiral and exit the rumination loop. The book's sections are anchored with wisdom from luminaries including Gloria Steinem, Kris Jenner, Jane Fonda, Arianna Huffington, Jay Shetty, Sherry Lansing, Monica Lewinsky, Yogi Cameron, Aimee Mullins, and Maria Shriver. Throughout the narrative, readers will find real-world tools for navigating worry. The collection of voices, alongside a prescription that never preaches, make this book more than a traditional self-help volume. We All Worry, Now What? is a roadmap for awakening: to yourself, to a path of compassion, and to the life that becomes possible when we free ourselves from worry. "My journey is proof that we can separate ourselves from the panic," Victoria says. "With the power of love and intention, anything is possible."

The book tells the full story of the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, as a Republican field of seventeen candidates battled it out until one remained: a blustery billionaire and reality TV star with no respect for the rules of politics and no fear of offending people. Across the aisle, Democrats witnessed a showdown between an unlikely populist hero in Sen. Bernie Sanders and the more well-known establishment candidate, Hillary Clinton, who was hobbled by scandal in her second attempt to become America's first woman president. The first-ever book from CNN Politics, Unprecedented unleashes new reporting on every jab between a major party's first female presidential nominee and a political neophyte who many discounted. Featuring a foreword by CNN's chief Washington correspondent, Jake Tapper, and an introduction by historian Douglas Brinkley, Unprecedented reveals new insight and emotion while telling a story that will change America forever. Authored by top CNN writer Thomas Lake and edited by award-winning veteran political reporter Jodi Enda, Unprecedented is filled with exclusive photos, commentary and insights from some of CNN's greatest contributors, including author Carl Bernstein, correspondent Brian Stelter and Pulitzer Prize--winning photographer David Hume Kennerly.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. On the surface, Victoria Jackson is the American Dream personified: from a troubled childhood and unfinished high school education, she overcame immeasurable odds to create a cosmetics empire valued at more than half a billion dollars. Married to Bill Guthy-self-made principal of infomercial marketing giant Guthy-Renker-Victoria's most treasured role is mother to three beautiful, beloved children, Evan, Ali, and Jackson.Suddenly, Victoria's dream life is broken as she begins to battle a mother's greatest fear. In 2008, her daughter, Ali, began experiencing unusual symptoms of blurred vision and an ache in her eye. Ali's test results led to the diagnosis of Neuromyelitis Optica. NMO is is a little understood, incurable, and often fatal autoimmune disease that can cause blindness, paralysis, and life-threatening seizures, and afflicts as few as 20,000 people in the world. At the age of 14, Ali was given a terrifying prognosis of four to six years to live.Saving Each Other: A Mother Daughter Love Storybegins just as Victoria and Bill learn of Ali's disease, starting them on a powerful journey to save Ali, their only daughter, including bringing together a team of more than fifty of the world's leading experts in autoimmune and NMO-related diseases tocreate the Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation.Told in alternating viewpoints, Victoria and Ali narrate their very different journeys of coming to terms with the lack of control that neither mother nor daughter have over NMO, and their pioneering efforts and courage to take their fight to a global level.Bringing their story to light with raw emotion, humor, warmth, and refreshing candor, Saving Each Other is the extraordinary journey of a mother and daughter who demonstrate how the power of love can transcend our greatest fears, while at the same time battling to find a cure for the incurable.
