Now Prue must face the trail of destruction she left behind, including mending the broken bond with her teenage son, finalizing the divorce with her husband, Nick, and using a newly learned set of skills to ward off her insatiable cravings for male attention—a compulsion that puts her friendship with lifelong pal Lily to the test.
Adding ever further complications to the hurdles in her path is the arrival into town of Alistair Prescott, her in-rehab romantic obsession, and the one person in the world most capable of throwing Prue off her recovery. Meanwhile, Serenity Hills counselor Mike Sullivan is undergoing a crisis of his own—one that will drive him to the rediscovery of a lifelong passion . . . and causing him to cross paths again with Prue, his former patient.

STOP BEING FAKE BUDDHA and be practically happy
About STOP BEING FAKE BUDDHA and be practically happy
“Come out of the fake spirituality.” – God.
You and I both know that happiness is internal and finding it outside will not get it. Happiness is not found even in materialism. Happiness is not found in things or money. Everyone knows this. This is what every religion in the world explains to us. Only 7% of people in the world are atheists and every other person believes in God. So why can’t everyone understand that happiness is internal? Why can’t everyone be happy by implementing this theory?
Because not every one of us can become Lord Buddha.
We have read and listened to the teachings of Lord Buddha or other religions so we know that the less desires there are, the more happiness there will be.
We have also tried our best to follow it. You may have done too. You may have suppressed a desire many times. Many times the mind will be persuaded and said that “one should be content with what one gets” or ” Whatever God does, He does for good”. But you put your hand on your heart and answer, did you really feel happy by thinking this way?
This book is for everyone who is torn between spirituality and materialism and for every man who has not been able to suppress desires completely and has not been able to find happiness by fulfilling desires.
This book is about learning to be really happy.

Determined to Persist: General Earle Wheeler, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Military’s Foiled Pursuit of Victory in Vietnam by Colonel Mark A. Viney
About Determined to Persist: General Earle Wheeler, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Military’s Foiled Pursuit of Victory in Vietnam by Colonel Mark A. Viney
Acrimony and calls for resignations over the recent US defeat in Afghanistan evoke painful memories of the Vietnam War, the nadir of civilian-military relations when the Joint Chiefs of Staff decided to resign en masse. Has history repeated itself?
Find out in “Determined to Persist,” which takes readers inside the White House, the Pentagon, and the U.S. military headquarters in Hawaii and South Vietnam while tracing the internal debates, tensions, and critical inflection points in the Vietnam War.
The longest serving Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Earle G. Wheeler was the senior military advisor to Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. In disgust with their administrations’ disastrous Vietnam War policies, Wheeler shredded his memoirs. He died three years later. In consequence, a gaping hole has existed in understanding the Vietnam War — until now.
Using exclusive documents from the Wheeler family and others recently declassified, “Determined to Persist” overturns long-held, inaccurate perceptions of civilian-military relations and provides a fuller, more accurate representation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s role in the Vietnam War.

Corporate and military executives hire Mark when they want to make the most effective use of experiential learning events at battlefields and historical sites in Europe and the United States. Eight U.S. Army general officers have lauded Mark’s uniquely interactive, customized format as the new standard and the best in which they have ever participated.
