Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I was born in 1920 in Leipzig, Germany. I was named Abraham Salomon Jakubowicz, but friends called me Adi for short. I was a German citizen first, a Jew second. My family’s religion did not seem as important to us as being good citizens of Leipzig. #2 My father was a very kind man, who loved his family, and would often bring friends home to share dinner with us. He would tell me there is more pleasure in giving than in taking, that the important things in life are far more precious than money. #3 In 1933, when Hitler came to power, he brought with him a wave of antiSemitism. I had my Bar Mitzvah in a small synagogue three hundred metres down the street. The Rabbi who ran our shul was very smart, and he rented the flat below it to a gentile who had a son in the SS. #4 I was enrolled at Jeter und Shearer, a mechanical engineering college in Tuttlingen, far to the south of Leipzig. I was extremely nervous about the exams, but I passed them and began a new life under the name Walter Schleif.

'Great two-fisted writing from the far side of hell.' - John Birmingham, bestselling author of He Died with a Felafel in his Hand 'A unique look at a gritty game. Relentlessly funny and obsessively readable.' - Phillip Noyce, director of The Quiet American and Clear and Present Danger Paul Carter has been shot at, hijacked and held hostage. He's almost died of dysentery in Asia and toothache in Russia, watched a Texan lose his mind in the jungles of Asia, lost a lot of money backing a mouse against a scorpion in a fight to the death, and been served cocktails by an orang-utan on an ocean freighter. And that's just his day job. Taking postings in some of the world's wildest and most remote regions, not to mention some of the roughest oil rigs on the planet, Paul has worked, gotten into trouble and been given serious talkings to in locations as far-flung as the North Sea, Middle East, Borneo and Tunisia, as exotic as Sumatera, Vietnam and Thailand, and as flat out dangerous as Columbia, Nigeria and Russia, with some of the maddest, baddest and strangest people you could ever hope not to meet. Strap yourself in for an exhilarating, crazed, sometimes terrifying, usually bloody funny ride through one man's adventures in the oil trade. When not getting into trouble on the rigs Paul lives a quiet life in Sydney.

With hundreds of thousands of copies sold since its initial publication, and as a frequent selection as one book/one school/one community reads, this unforgettable memoir continues to touch and inspire readers.

Eddie Jaku was one among the few thousands who miraculously survived the death camps. When Eddie first entered Auschwitz, he was only a 20-year-old. He didn’t have a name or identity for the next seven years he spent in the notorious death camp. His entire personality, individuality, and identity were relegated to a 6 digit number-172338. Now, 100-year-old, Eddie is anything but bitter or remorse. On the contrary, he is the self-proclaimed happiest man on earth. Eddie remembers vividly how he was crammed into the barracks, made to sleep on the wooden planks, ten men in a single row, with not a stich on any of them. Eddie didn’t know if he would survive the night, let alone live to a centenarian. His survival is hinged on a message he said to himself, repeatedly, religiously reminding himself that if he could hold on to live just another minute, another hour, another day, then, the pain, the deprivation, the agony would end and tomorrow would dawn with rays of hope. Eddie remembered clearly how on some nights when sleep overcame his tediously overworked body and mental exhaustion caused him to slip into a trance, waking to the screams of fellow Jews who could no longer take the drudgery and ran themselves into the electrified barbed fence. Their screams were bone-chilling and he shuddered to remember those odious nights. There were nights when Eddie was tempted badly to join them and put an abrupt end to the morass of misery he was in. but something kept him from taking that step. Once, he did try to escape, but the failed attempt resulted in a bullet wound in his leg. This book is not just about Eddie Jaku, it is about the millions of Jews who were killed mercilessly and what they went through during the Second World War. It is about Eddie Jaku, Eva Mozes, Victor Frankl, and many more whose names have not been mentioned, but this book is also their story. This book attempts to explore the reasons, causes, and an analysis of the Holocaust.

Life is short. You can, if you work hard and are lucky, get more of almost anything, but you can't get more time. Time only goes one way. The average American has a lifespan of less than 30,000 days. So how you choose to live matters. That's the topic of this book. I don't pretend to have all the answers. I'm still learning every day, and many of the good ideas here I've picked up from other people either directly or by reading. But this is what's worked for me. Like life, this book is short. Many books I read could communicate their ideas in fewer pages. So I've tried to be brief in line with the wise person who noted: "If I'd had more time I would have written a shorter letter". I don't think brevity implies lack of content. The concepts here have improved the quality of my life, and I hope they're useful to you as well. Using these concepts, I have created a life I love. My job doesn't feel like work. I love and respect the people with whom I spend time. And I'm also passionate about my life outside work. I've learned how to create a balance that makes me happy between work and other interests, including my family, friends and exercise. Sadly I think that's rare. And yet, while I know I'm lucky, most people can work towards those goals in their own lives. My interest in making the most of my life began when I was just starting college, but when I was in my mid-thirties a boss I admired died of cancer. He was young. He had a great wife; he had three young children; he had a fantastic career -- he had everything in life. He just didn't have enough time. So, while I'd often thought about how to get the most out of life, the death of someone so young and vital increased my sense of urgency to act on it. One of the things I've always wanted to do was to work for myself. As a result, I left an exciting job at Microsoft in 2001 amidst the Internet bust to found the investing firm I now run. It was hard to do, both financially and emotionally. When I left Microsoft, many people - friends, family, and even some of the press - thought I was deluding myself to start a fund focused on Internet-related companies during a market crash. A press quote from the time said: "Call him a little crazy. Call him a little nuts." I'd never seen that type of coverage before. And, in a sense, the press was right; the business wasn't easy to start. Fortunately, from a vantage point of ten years down the road, it's worked out quite well. A key part of my job is reading and thinking about a broad variety of topics. So writing this book was relatively easy. It's even easier to read. But, like many things in life, actually executing each day on these concepts is extremely difficult. With thanks to Thomas Edison, life is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Even so, I hope you have fun perspiring. Peter Atkins Seattle, WA December, 2010
