"Thirty years ago, I lay in the womb of a woman, conceived in a sexual act of rape, being carried during the prenatal period by an unwilling and rebellious mother, finally bursting from the womb only to be tormented in a family whose members I despised or pitied, and brought into association with people whom I should never have chosen." Shortly after its 1925 publication, Gertrude Beasley's ferociously eloquent feminist memoir was banned and she herself disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Though British Nobel Prize winner Bertrand Russell called My First Thirty Years "truthful, which is illegal" and Larry McMurtry pronounced it the finest Texas book of its era, Beasley's words have been all but inaccessible for almost a century—until now. Beasley penned one of the most brutally honest coming-of-age historical memoirs ever written, one which strips away romantic notions about frontier women's lives at the turn of the 20th century. Her mother and sisters braved male objectification and the indignities of poverty, with little if any control over their futures. With characteristic ferocity, Beasley rejected a life of dependence, persisting in her studies and becoming first a teacher, then a principal, then a college instructor, and finally a foreign correspondent. Along the way, Beasley becomes a strident activist for women's rights, socialism, and sex education, which she sees as key to restoring bodily autonomy to women like those she grew up with. She is undaunted by authority figures but secretly ashamed of her origins and yearns to be loved. My First Thirty Years is profoundly human and shockingly candid, a rallying cry that cost its author her career and her freedom. Her story deserves to be heard. Praise for My First Thirty Years: "For almost a century in Texas literary circles, Gertrude Beasley's 1925 memoir has been more a legend than a book... The tangled history of My First Thirty Years, and Beasley's horrific personal fate, are case studies in society's merciless treatment of women of her era who gave voice to socially unspeakable truths. The memoir's republication this month, which makes it widely available for the first time in 96 years, is a long-overdue moment of reckoning. It's also a rich gift to the Texas literary canon."—Texas Monthly "We should all be as fierce, loud, and convinced of our own self-worth as Gertrude Beasley was. This story of a justifiably angry woman living ahead of the world she lived in will resonate deeply today."—Soraya Chemaly, activist and award-winning author of Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger "Gertrude Beasley's 1925 memoir grabs the reader by the arm and holds tight, speaking with a voice as compelling as if she had just put down her pen this morning. Feminist, socialist, and acute observer of both herself and the world around her, Beasley gives us stories that illuminate the costs of poverty and of being a woman. To read My First Thirty Years is to be in conversation with an extraordinary mind."—Anne Gardiner Perkins, author of Yale Needs Women

If you ever ask anyone that is older and experienced what they would have done differently in their life, 9 out of 10 times they will say something in their first 30 years of life (usually between 18-28). Most people describe their first 30 years of life as their most critical years as it sets that individual up for their future. Dustin Jones throughout life was always fascinated by hearing older people's successes, but also wanted to hear about their failures and what they would do differently in life. Through the author's life, he realized that most of his friends and family that were growing up with him made the same failures or mistakes in life along with having similar keys to success.Every individual has a unique life but most individual's cross similar difficult pathways. Many people when they get to the 30 are very busy with their life and can't document the past 30 years. Dustin Jones, wishing he had a book like this when he was growing up in life had a goal to write a book about the first 30 years to give younger people like him that option. He wrote the book on the cusp of 30 years of age to give a fresh perspective of the millennium first 30 years (which includes a guidebook).In this book, the author goes through real life events and topics such as:* Success and failure - If you become successful early on, that is great. Failure though is never far away. Failing is a fact of life. However, never ever underestimate the power of failing because one's failure can define us too.* Public speaking and building confidence - I believe these two skills go hand in hand. In life, it is like selling yourself to the world. Both public speaking and establishing confidence are vital attributes that will help you get ahead in life. For some people, these skills come naturally, but for most of us, we dread the thought of speaking in a one-on-one conversation or in front of many people.* Friendships and Relationships - Relationships can make or break you. One thing in life that is hard to teach, and even harder to understand, is anything that deals with the matters of the heart. No one is an expert in this area but the book goes through real life experiences with relationships and friendships to give a perspective of common events that happen in life.* Mentors - come in various shapes and sizes. Early in life, we have been honed by our first mentors--our parents. This is the main reason we all think like our parents. Afterwards, we meet other people that we admire and we do not care about whether they are successful or not. What matters to us is how they make an impact on us as individuals.* Taking advantage of the opportunities that come our way - Do not waste every good opportunity by spending too much on time-consuming activities. When you are in your twenties, this is the most important time in your life.* Setting your short- and long-term goals - I used to do things in a hurry and wanted to have everything in a snap. I used to set many things back because I did not place much importance on my own set of priorities.* Ability to value time - In spite of the technological advancements, life is still a chess game with many moving pieces.* Other topics about money, making budgets, and even vices are discussed at length. Getting the right balance about money matters is an essential part of achieving one's professional and financial success.Ideal for ages 18-28.

Your next professional move can make or break your career. Are you ready? In business, especially today, you are only as successful as your next career transition. Do well, and you'll be on the fast track to even more challenging roles. Fail, and you could irreparably harm your career--and your organization. In his international bestseller The First 90 Days, transition guru Michael D. Watkins outlined a set of basic principles for getting up to speed quickly in new professional roles. Since that book was published Watkins has worked with thousands of leaders, helping them to accelerate their transitions. These leaders posed challenging questions on how to apply the basic principles in real-life situations. The truth that emerged: the First 90 Days framework can be applied in every transition, but the way you apply it is entirely different when you have been promoted to a higher level than it is when you are joining a new organization or taking a role in a different country. Master Your Next Move answers a distinct need, focusing on the most common types of transitions leaders face and the unique challenges posed by each. Based on years of research, and now with a new introduction, this indispensable book explores eight crucial transitions virtually everyone encounters during their career, including promotion, leading former peers, onboarding into a new company, making an international move, and turning around a business in crisis. With real-world examples and many practical models and tools, Master Your Next Move is your guide to surviving and thriving as you make your next move . . . and every one after that.
