What about me? : get out of your own way and discover the power of an unselfish life / by Meyer, Joyce,1943-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."As we go about our daily lives, there is a little voice in our minds that's always asking, "What about me?" Maybe your voice says, "When is it my turn to be noticed at work?" or "When will someone in this family do something for me?" That voice may be whispering to you about your finances, your job, or your friends, but it is always encouraging you to think about something you don't have. And sadly, social media and culture in general lead us to focus on this world's concept of happiness and success -- but does it work? Could you be sabotaging your own joy, your purpose, your success? What could you do to get out of your own way? And most importantly, what is God's definition of success? The Bible tells us over and over that the true source of meaning and happiness is a life focused on God and on serving others. Instead of asking when it will be our turn to get a raise, be recognized, or finally make it big, it's time to discover the source of true and lasting of happiness and satisfaction. By walking in this path, we will have more joy and a closer relationship with God than we could ever imagine!"--

Life's work : a memoir / by Milch, David,1945-author.;
""I feel like I'm on a boat sailing to some island where I don't know anybody. I'm on a boat someone is operating and we aren't in touch." So begins David Milch's urgent accounting of his increasingly strange present and often painful past. From the start, Milch's life seems destined to echo that of his father, a successful if drug-addicted surgeon. Almost every achievement is accompanied by an act of self-immolation, but the deepest sadnesses also contain moments of grace. Betting on race horses and stealing booze at eight years old, mentored by Robert Penn Warren and excoriated by Richard Yates at twenty-one, Milch never did anything by half. He got into Yale Law only to be expelled for shooting out street lights with a shotgun. He paused his studies at the Iowa Writers' Workshop to manufacture acid in Cuernavaca. He created and wrote some of the biggest, most lauded television series of all time, made a family and pursued sobriety, and then lost his fortune betting horses just as his father had taught him"--
