About Acting... . . and Surviving the Sharks


Book Description

As a special holiday present for you, the price of this book has been dropped to $12 thru January 1st.Note from the Gladiator…This is much more than a book about acting—and it's an easy read for everybody, often with unexpected humor. I have no doubt that David changed fundamentally the way I view life, and through that, the way I view acting. I spent 7 or 8 years wallowing around, trying to be an actor. Then I got to work for a year with David Man, while he was in Australia. It's easy to remember what year that was, because that's the year I started getting paid for my work. It's an exceptional book, which brings to life the work we did training, as well as wonderful insights, anecdotes and revelations from his long career, all tied up in one surprisingly entertaining bundle. He is also in the process of creating a video companion for this book. As he says, “I don't believe you can learn anything just from reading a book!” The video will include both students and professional actors, actually demonstrating the best ways to make use of the information, exercises and the myriad choices discussed in this book.” …Liam McIntyre, The new Spartacus, of the hit TV series .Life, dreams, fantasies and work all dance together in the reality of the artist. Because of that, the artist is always on a journey. The past is just another tool to continue moving the journey on. We are either learning or losing. …David Man''




Surviving the Shark


Book Description

In Surviving the Shark, Jonathan Kathrein describes his incredible shark attack experience. The book covers all aspects of Kathrein’s survival, beginning with the eerie moments just before the attack, when something smashes into Kathrein’s hand as he paddles on his board, waiting for a wave off Stinson Beach in northern California. Realizing it is probably shark, and possibly a great white, Kathrein tries to paddle away, furiously trying to make it toward shore, where he sees some of his friends on the beach. But it is too late, as the great white returns, slams into him, then grabs his leg and pulls him underwater, thrashing him back and forth, trying to rip his leg off. How Kathrein is able to escape and make his way to shore, despite his horrific wounds, is nothing short of amazing. But that’s just the beginning, as he now faces months of physical and mental rehabilitation, all the while dealing with the constant media attention that the attack has generated. Gradually, with the help of his family and friends, Kathrein makes a recovery. Today, Kathrein gives lectures on shark conservation, as well as on such topics as avoiding shark attacks when you’re in the water. In this book, he not only writes of his ordeal, but also delves into shark behavior, and explains his desire to spread shark awareness. There is also an underlying theme of tremendous familial love and Kathrein’s extreme fervor for life.

Summary of Dr. Laura Schlessinger's Surviving a Shark Attack (On Land)


Book Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Betrayals are a breach of trust between you and someone else, including acts of dishonesty, lying, cheating, or stealing. They are a horrible experience, and you will be left stunned, scared, and very, very angry. #2 The added insult of having your supporters turn against you is the betrayal. You end up being not only a victim but abandoned to fight your battle alone. #3 Do not trust people who do bad things, whether they mean to be or not. They are usually sociopathic personalities or everyday individuals who justify their bad behavior in the most extraordinary ways. They hurt other people because it feels good to them. #4 Betrayers are typically unable to admit when they are wrong, and will do anything to avoid looking bad. They are also unable to deal with their own hurt, confusion, and existential anger in ways that do not cause pain to others.
