Book Description
Even though the osteopathic profession is over 100 years old, very little literature has been available to assist the public in better understanding osteopathic medicine. Perhaps this is the primary reason many persons cling to "old wives tales" in their concept of this uniquely American medical profession.It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to relate in a few brief pages the history, nature, philosophy, methods, and processes of development of any profession and do it justice. Therefore, perhaps this effort to introduce once again osteopathic medicine to the public will encourage others to articulate their insights into osteopathic medicine and complement the work of ones who have tried.This book is written by a layman for the lay reader. Much of the information has been gleaned from the few written sources available and from personal taped interviews with more than thirty persons in the osteopathic profession and ones related to it by employment and dedication. Some of the information has not previously been widely disseminated to the public. Nonetheless, it is a documented part of the osteopathic story.The remainder of the information in the book reflects the author's observations and opinions based on years of experience with, appreciation for, and commitment to the osteopathic profession.The author hopes The Difference a D.O. Makes will make a positive difference in the public's understanding of osteopathic medicine.Bob E.

Book Description
Based on a Navy SEAL's inspiring graduation speech, this #1 New York Times bestseller of powerful life lessons "should be read by every leader in America" (Wall Street Journal). If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better. Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments.
