Wake Up Happy


Book Description

Michael Strahan spent his childhood on a military base in Europe, where community meant everything, and life, though idyllic, was different. For one, when people referenced football they meant soccer. So when Michael's father suggested he work toward a college scholarship by playing football in Texas, where tens of thousands of people show up for a weekend game, the odds were long. Yet he did, indeed, land a scholarship and from there a draft into the NFL where he scaled the league's heights, broke records, and helped his team win the Super Bowl, as a result of which he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. How? By developing "Strahan's Rules" -- a mix of mental discipline, positive thinking, and a sense of play. He also used the Rules to forge a successful post pro-ball career as cohost with Kelly Ripa on Live! -- a position for which he was considered the longshot -- and much more. In Wake Up Happy, Michael shares personal stories about how he gets and stays motivated and how readers can do the same in their quest to attain their life goals.




Wake Up Happy Every Day


Book Description

From the Costa-shortlisted author of Life! Death! Prizes!, an exhilarating modern fairy tale of risk, reward, and happily-ever-afters. For decades, Nicky and Russell have kept up the friendship they began in childhood, and for decades, Russell's annual birthday celebration has reminded Nicky of how much more successful Russell is, how astronomically rich he is, and how much further he has come since their suburban childhood. But on his fiftieth birthday, Russell drops dead in his San Francisco mansion, with Nicky as the only witness. And now Nicky has come up with an uncharacteristically daring plan. If he were to become Russell and leave his old life lying dead on the bathroom floor, then he, his wife, Sarah, and their daughter, Scarlett, could start again. Only with better clothes, better hair, better stuff, and a better future: everything that money can buy. Especially happiness. But when the foundations of their glittering new existence start to crack, the impact of Nicky's hasty decision is felt by all those around him: by his daughter; by his own distant, confused father; by a young English woman who has come to America in search of her father; and by the mysterious Catherine, an ex-soldier who seems to take an unhealthy interest in Nicky's activities. Sharp, funny, warm, and acutely observed, Wake Up Happy Every Day is a novel about dreams and delusions, family and friendship, and what happens if you actually find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.




Wake Up and Change Your Life


Book Description

Your old life has been turned upside down. Perhaps your partner has threatened to leave, you've discovered infidelity or your relationship has completely broken down and you're determined not to make the same mistakes again. Maybe, you've simply taken stock and decided your life doesn't work any more. Whatever the background, deciding to change is a really positive move. However, willpower alone isn't enough—nor sweeping declarations of how 'this time it will be different'. To combat bad habits, procrastination, a partner who is sceptical or parents, friends and family who can't see anything but the 'old you', you'll need to make changes that are both deep down (to tackle the hidden factors that are trapping you) and long-lasting (so you don't slide back into the old ways). Marital Therapist Andrew G. Marshall has brought thirty years' experience helping couples and individuals to create a proven plan for change. In this compassionate book he explains: Why real change is harder than you think. The six unhelpful myths about change that are holding you back. How to take control of your past. The importance of developing everyday calmness. How to discover your true life path. Nine simple maxims to lock in the change.

Wake Up Happy Every Day


Book Description

Nicky has always known Russell was rich, but he has no idea how astronomically rich Russell is until his friend drops dead, on his fiftieth birthday, with Nicky as the only witness.

Wake Up!


Book Description

Humans feel lonely. They don’t remember who they are, or what they live for. You are an eternal being, travelling along this and other universes, who in a moment makes a stop on this planet called Earth, with one unique purpose: to enjoy your terrestrial experience, while expanding Love and Joy. To help you create a life of happiness, well-being, and abundance, your Creating Parent endowed you with their Universal Principles, the Life Instructions Manual, with which we are all born, but so few can remember. What happened? Why are we not enjoying total happiness and abundance? Since you were a little baby, you were taught to focus your attention on the exterior, only on those things adults see with their limited vision. This is how you gradually forgot how to read your instruction manual; this is how you even forgot its existence inside of you. Oblivious to our interiority and having lost communication with our Self, we feel confused, lost, and aimless. We don’t remember who we are nor the unique mission we promised to accomplish in this lifetime. Once we stop listening to the voice of our Self, we give our full attention to the voice of our ego. Confused by its pseudo-protecting messages, we take its hand and let it guide us through its own paths of fear, struggle, distress, guilt, and self-sabotage. Author Anne Astilleros, not having forgotten who she is and how to use her own instruction manual, helps us remember how to use ours. She reminds us that: • You are not alone. • You are light and darkness; you are not perfect, and you will never be, and it’s okay! • You chose your Dad and Mom to remind you what not to do! • Your ego is not bad. It wants you to illuminate it, and only when you don’t, it punishes you. • Your ego is your best ally in your evolution. • And so much more...
