When You Come at the King: Inside DOJ’s Pursuit of the President, from Nixon to Trump by Elie Honig

https://www.amazon.com/When-You-Come-King-President/dp/0063447363

“[A] deeply researched, keenly analytical, and frequently provocative chronicle of this singular judicial entity. . . . A senior legal analyst for CNN and former assistant U.S. attorney, Honig is well-suited to the task of providing a historical overview of the special counsel’s function with the ever-evolving context of politics, partisanship and political skepticism.” —Booklist (STARRED review)

“A fascinating, fast-paced insider’s account….[a] riveting, deeply reported book.” —Anderson Cooper

“Every page hums with gripping anecdotes and breaking news journalism.” —Douglas Brinkley

Imagine you’ve been put in charge of investigating your own boss—who also happens to be the most powerful person on the planet.

You might unearth information that will be politically, professionally, and personally devastating to your subject, and you alone hold the power to indict and potentially imprison him. At the same time, the boss can fire you and end the case—and might even turn the tables and launch an inquiry aimed at you. As the lone-wolf assassin Omar put it in The Wire: “You come at the king, you best not miss.”

That’s the crucible for any Special Counsel. For decades, the Department of Justice has appointed outside prosecutors to handle our highest-stakes cases. But do these independent investigations lead to just results?

In When You Come at the King, CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig delivers a fast-paced, insider’s account of the most important Justice Department investigations of the past fifty years, based on dozens of on-record interviews with firsthand participants. A Watergate prosecutor reveals she hid copies of key documents at home to guard against potential destruction of evidence by the president’s allies. A member of the Iran–Contra prosecution team explains why they made a shocking election-eve revelation. A defense lawyer for Donald Trump details his private meeting with Jack Smith just days before Trump was indicted.

From Ken Starr’s investigation of Bill Clinton to modern cases involving Patrick Fitzgerald, Robert Mueller, Jack Smith, and more, Honig charts how the Special Counsel system developed and evolved over time. We know the maxim that a nation can be measured by how it treats its weakest members. This book explores an inverse corollary: A nation reveals much about itself by how it holds accountable its most powerful leaders when they’ve done wrong.

Now, with the future of Special Counsels in doubt, When You Come at the King addresses the most important question of all: Can the system evolve to better serve the call for justice?

About the author Elie Honig is CNN’s Senior Legal Analyst. He previously worked for 14 years as a federal and state prosecutor.

Honig provides on-air commentary and analysis for CNN on news relating to the U. S. Department of Justice, major criminal trials, the Supreme Court, Congressional and grand jury investigations, national security, policing, and other legal issues. In 2022, Honig was nominated for an Emmy Award by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in the category “Outstanding News Analysis: Editorial & Opinion.”

Honig is the national bestselling author of two prior books published by HarperCollins: “Hatchet Man: How Bill Barr Broke the Prosecutor’s Code and Corrupted the Justice Department” (2021) and “Untouchable: How Powerful People Get Away With It” (2023). His third book, “When You Come at the King: Inside DOJ’s Pursuit of the President, from Nixon to Trump,” publishes in September 2025.

Honig writes a weekly column on legal news for New York magazine and CAFE. He hosts the popular true-crime podcast, “Up Against the Mob,” and a weekly legal podcast, “The Counsel,” both productions of Vox Media. Honig graduated from Rutgers College (where he now teaches) in 1997, and Harvard Law School in 2000.

What Goes Around by Michael Wendroff

https://www.amazon.com/What-Goes-Around-Michael-Wendroff/dp/1035918935

Michaelwendroff.com

‘Relentless and gritty, Wendroff expertly weaves a narrative that begs, “just one more page”.’ J.D. Barker, New York Times bestselling author

EVIL HAS MANY FACES

Chilling murders terrorize a town and bring together two detectives to face the hardest tasks of their lives. Jack Ludlum, who relies on his brawn to get things done, is now paired with his archenemy, Jill Jarred, a brilliant investigator with keen intuition. As they delve into the secret world of incels and white supremacists, and conflict between local authorities and the FBI rages, a media frenzy further complicates the mission.

Is there a serial killer on the loose? Or something entirely different? Will the detectives’ clashing personalities be their undoing, or can they unite to stop the killer before they kill each other?

What Goes Around is a dynamic thriller that examines the intricacies of love, loss, and the unbreakable bonds that transcend time. With its pulse-pounding pace, captivating characters, and a revelatory twist that challenges the boundaries of life and death, this novel will keep you hooked from the first page to the last, and thinking long afterwards.

‘Starts off at a breakneck pace and doesn’t let up until it reaches its unexpected conclusion.’ Lisa Black, New York Times bestselling author of the Locard Institute thrillers

‘An adrenaline-fueled novel, the action breathlessly driven by two detectives relentlessly pursuing the bloody trails left by a serial killer with a dark sense of justice, deadly groups of white supremacists, and one lonely, alienated boy caught up in the violence.’ Kathleen Kent, New York Times bestselling author

‘Fast-paced propulsive thriller that doesn’t let up – highly recommended!’ Lori Brand, author

About the author I’ve always wanted to write a novel and am both lucky and happy to announce my dream has come true. What Goes Around is being published in September 2024. It was actually the pandemic that spurred this on–there was so much I couldn’t do then, so took a shot at it.

Prior to that it had been a journey-though books have always been in my background. My mother was an editor at Dell Publishing (she’d greeted me at birth with “Nice to see you again”), and I worked in a literary agency–Henry Morrison Inc. while going to college. At the agency I started by delivering manuscripts to publishers in New York City (plenty of subway rides and runs across town), and eventually handled foreign rights, selling on behalf of authors such as Robert Ludlum, David Morrell, Eric Van Lustbader, Justin Scott, Larry Block, and many others.

I went to New York University for both undergraduate and graduate school (where I was inducted into their Hall of Fame), and I earned an MBA in marketing. My thesis, in fact, was on “Marketing in the Publishing Industry,” and it was excerpted in the industry trade journal, Publishers Weekly.

From there, I went into marketing with major companies, and eventually opened up my own marketing consultancy.

While I still do consulting, I love being an author, and hope to be a novelist for the rest of my life. Besides writing, my loves are boating, travel, and playing tennis.

Fun Fact: My great-grandfather was brought over from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark to work with Thomas Edison in his lab in West Orange, New Jersey. He held a number of patents, including innovating with plastic buttons (he eventually became known as “The Button King.”

About the author Serial entrepreneur turned early stage investor, innovation expert, professor and, oh yeah, author.

Invested in 70+ startups and mentored hundreds more. Tl;dr It’s hard

Built my first startup into the top provider of web services to summer camps. Lots of mistakes. Luckily, none killed the company.

Managed a family office. Incubated new ventures while managing hedge & private equity funds. Meh.

Recruited to found an app for parents to organize digital memories. Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want. Awesome experience.

Why start one business when you can launch dozens? Joined an accelerator and ended up creating a new, later stage, platform for them.

These days I run REACH Labs for Second Century Ventures, consult for corporate venture funds, accelerators, etc. Teach entrepreneurship in my (ha!) spare time to test my book with real students. Spoiler: It works really well.

Over 60 published articles but this is my first novel. Hope you enjoy it!

A Bun Dance by Penelope Bourdillon

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bun-Dance-Penelope-Bourdillon/dp/1637672772

The Bible is many things: a library; history books; a collection of wise sayings, and much, much more. Most importantly it reveals the secrets of life: who we are; what is our purpose; how we should live; what is our destiny? It is centered in Jesus who reveals what God is really like. A gentle Father, overflowing with tender love and mercy towards us. A God who sings, laughs, grieves, shouts for joy, longs for company, and – He has a sense of humor. All this is found in the Bible that this book describes: it contains jokes! Read it and laugh, smile, wonder, and then give thanks for the help you find.

Reviews:

Throughout my ordained ministry I have longed to get people to engage with scripture more openly and faithfully and, above all, sensibly. Scripture requires interpretation, not wholesale, literal acceptance; it both demands and repays reflection, and it is a source upon which to draw at different times, in various circumstances. Properly and faithfully handled, inquiringly understood, and lovingly absorbed, it will afford great nourishment and deep comfort. I commend this book as a welcome effort designed to encourage engagement, discovery and comfort.

– The Most Reverend John Davies, sometime Archbishop of Wales and Bishop of Swansea and Brecon.

Penelope’s style is delightful and unique. As I was reading what she had written I felt that I was listening to her speaking… My prayer is that it may reach many families who normally do not go to church.

– Revd Prebendary John Collins, Prebendary of St. Paul’s Cathedral and former Vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton.

https://www.amazon.com/Redneck-Resilience-Country-Journey-Prosperity/dp/1642252395

RESILIENCE FINDS A WAY

James Webb’s life is the American dream in a nutshell. Born to teenage parents in Laurel, Mississippi, and faced with a future working in the town’s only two factories, James chose to change his fate and forge his own path―to become a titan of business, a mentor, and a philanthropist.

In Redneck Resilience, James shares stories of amazing wins and devastating losses, of sin and redemption, of recovery and forward momentum. Most importantly, he discusses the benefits and advantages of resilience.

James uses his own life to illustrate truths about success in life and in business, including:

Failures happen, and resilience vanquishes failure. No lesson or experience is ever wasted. When opportunity presents itself, take the risk. A true entrepreneur works for no one. You cannot succeed on your own. And much more. Resilient people never take their eye off where they’re going, even when they get knocked down. They refocus. Resilience isn’t worried about the odds. Resilience finds a way.

About the author Born to two 17-year-old parents and living an economically disadvantage childhood, James Harold Webb has had amazing wins and devastating losses throughout his life. He attributes a majority of his success to resilience and to relationships, both personally and professionally. James’ storied career started as a radiologic technologist in his home state of Mississippi. After moving to Dallas in 1983, he began working as the Director of Radiology at a local hospital and, for the next 13 years, worked on the executive team for various medical imaging companies. In 1996, Webb started his first of many companies and became a key leader in the industry. After more than 40 years in the medical field, and selling his three largest companies, James turned his focus to the fitness sector, becoming one of the largest Orangetheory Fitness franchisees in the country owning, overseeing, and ultimately selling 33 Orangetheory Fitness gyms located throughout North Texas. Not one to slow down, his most recent endeavors include an agreement to develop, and open BeBalanced Centers (health, wellness and weight loss) throughout Austin, Dallas, and Fort Worth and the recent purchase of 10 Scenthound franchise locations (dog health and grooming) for the Dallas, TX market.

Every Mile Matters: Turning Triathlon Training Into Cancer Triumph by Jeffrey L. Reynolds, Ph.D

https://www.amazon.com/Every-Mile-Matters-Triathlon-Training/dp/B0FJQ2Q98P

Everymilematters.com

Three sports. Two cancer diagnoses. One unbreakable spirit.

At age 55, Jeffrey L. Reynolds, Ph.D., crossed the finish line at Ironman Florida – a grueling triathlon and the crowning achievement of his endurance sports journey. Just weeks later, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He fought through treatment, recovered—and was hit again. This time, it was Stage 3B colorectal cancer.

In Every Mile Matters, Dr. Reynolds shares how the physical fitness, mental fortitude, grit and resilience developed through triathlon and marathon training became his greatest weapons in the fight for his life. The Long Island resident didn’t just apply his athletic mindset—he relied on it. Each round of radiation became a daily workout. Each chemo session, a test of strategy and strength. And every setback, an opportunity to dig deeper, endure and win.

This is a powerful story of transformation, of turning pain into purpose and struggle into strength. Reynolds explores the emotional and spiritual shifts that come with surviving cancer—alongside practical tools for mindset, wellness, and long-term recovery.

Perfect for athletes, cancer survivors, caregivers, and anyone facing adversity, Every Mile Matters is an uplifting, unforgettable tribute to the grit that carries us through finish lines—and the fights that matter most.

“Every Mile Matters is a triumph of heart and soul in battling the demons of cancer. Jeffrey Reynolds has captured each defining moment of his cancer journey with honesty, passion, and remarkable clarity. Through his story, he teaches us powerful life lessons – and more importantly, how to live them daily. His defining moments at the IRONMAN finish line gave him the strength to fight on. His resilience, vulnerability, and relentless spirit remind us that the human will is stronger than any diagnosis. This book isn’t just about surviving cancer – it’s about reclaiming life and helping others to do the same. A must-read for anyone facing adversity or seeking inspiration to rise above it.” – Mike Reilly, Voice of IRONMAN and author of Finding My Voice

“Dr. Jeff Reynolds’ book is an important one for everyone, but especially for those who have been given “the diagnosis” that changes your life forever. I feel strongly that we are given 3 choices when going through a period of challenge or suffering. Succumb, Adapt, or Evolve. Jeff took the Evolve route and it has changed his life for the “BEST-ER.” Taking charge of your life is a choice, and he represents that greatest choice in this book.” – Scott Hamilton, Olympic Gold Medalist and cancer survivor.

Studying the existence of God, Lindberg takes a different approach by investigating science as well as Christian research.

The Gallery Assistant: A Novel by Kate Belli

https://www.amazon.com/Gallery-Assistant-Novel-Kate-Belli/dp/1668093650

“A haunting, razor-sharp mystery…With an unforgettable protagonist and a plot that spirals into ever-deeper layers of intrigue.” —Julie Clark, New York Times bestselling author of The Ghostwriter

This twisty and sinister thriller follows a New York art gallery assistant reckoning with her past and now trapped in a web of deceit after an up-and-coming painter is murdered—perfect for fans of Katy Hays and Julia Bartz.

November 2001: Chloe Harlow wakes up late, with hazy memories of the party the night before but no recollection of how she got back to her Brooklyn apartment. Ever since the terrifying and catastrophic terrorist attack, it seems she has been on a collision course with destruction.

When she finally arrives at the exclusive Upper East Side art gallery where she works, she is immediately called into her boss’s office. A pair of NYPD detectives greet her, also very curious to know how her evening ended…because the host of the party, a rising painter and the gallery’s newest artist, is dead.

Navigating both the sophisticated high-stakes art world and her personal life in burgeoning Williamsburg, Chloe struggles to piece together a complete picture of that lost night. As she digs deeper, inconsistencies emerge between what she remembers and what people tell her actually happened, and more questions are raised. Everything begins to feel like a conspiracy and maybe it is. Because Chloe is the only one who glimpses the secrets the murdered artist left behind, and the closer she gets to the truth…the more deadly it becomes.

Drawing from eight years of research, over 250 interviews, and thousands of survey responses, they reveal a proven model for building momentum across sports, business, politics, and the military.

You’ll learn how to:

Recognize the early spark of momentum and act on it. Build a culture that sustains momentum over time. Apply a research-backed model used by top leaders. Reignite momentum when it begins to fade.

Computing Power Drives the Future by William Meisel

https://www.amazon.com/Computing-Drives-Future-William-Meisel/dp/1088244149

Computing power has long grown at an exponential rate. That rapid advance has allowed digital systems to do more each year. Computer power crossed a major threshold when it made “Artificial Intelligence” driven by deep neural networks economically feasible. And huge investments are being made in ever-larger computer centers to support AI. This book challenges the assumptions behind those huge investments and explains why the generative AI that is making all the news is over-rated.

Computer power crossing a threshold allowed deep neural nets to be practical, and they have indeed been used effectively for many limited applications. Meisel discusses the “next big thing” that exponential growth in computer processing speed will allow. The book provides a realistic description of what we can expect as computer power grows ever more quickly than most past innovations, with major impacts on society, the economy, and competition between countries.

Out from the Shadows: Growing up with Holocaust Survivor Parents (Holocaust Heritage) by Willie Handler

https://www.amazon.com/Out-Shadows-Holocaust-Survivor-Heritage/dp/9493322882

Williehandler.com

Growing up, the author and his family constantly lived under the shadow of the Holocaust. There was persistent tension at home. He was frequently told: “Finish your dinner. We didn’t have food like this in the camps.”

His parents only provided bits and pieces of their Holocaust experiences, since he “didn’t need to know.” A few years ago, Willie Handler decided that he did need to know. Thus began a journey into his family’s past, eventually revealing their extraordinary survival and painful losses. Their stories reflect not only the evil that swept Europe in the 1930s and 1940s, but also the resilience of the human spirit.

His parents appeared to have taken some shocking secrets to their graves, forcing the author to view them in a different light. With the acknowledgement of his own buried trauma, and following years of research, he has finally stepped out of the shadows.

Eat or Be Eaten by Dr Rick Bein

Rickbein.com https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Be-Eaten-Rick-Bein/dp/1963718011

The issue of food can be interpreted in two ways. As a geographical agriculturist, I have focused on food production around the world, but also on being faced with predatory action. These stories relate such events in my life. Some are humorous and some are educational. my Peace Corps experience provided the spark that led to this series of adventures and observations. Farming strategies vary tremendously around the world, from my home farm in Colorado to those in Brazil, Sudan, Papua New Guinea, Mozambique. The picture depicts a Sudanese feast, where various food items are laid on an outstretched tablecloth on the ground to serve men dressed in formal attire. Only the men are eating and when they are sated the women come to eat what is left over. Notice the only the right hands are touching the food. The left hand is considered foul and would contaminate the food.

MOSAIC Pieces: Surviving the Dark Side of American Justice by Wes Skillings

https://www.amazon.com/MOSAIC-Pieces-Surviving-American-Justice/dp/B0FH7JYK55

A child’s murder and a rush to judgment still resonate more than fifty years later with lessons to be learned about American justice from a real-life murder case. The convicted murderer did his time, returned to his hometown of South Williamsport, PA, where the crime occurred, and yet the case against him refuses to retreat quietly into fading memories and a growing cache of the obituaries of those who played many of the prominent roles in this morality play. The impact on him and his family resonates as both tragedy and triumph with a case study that is as much a generational story in more innocent times as it is about the murder of a child in an all-American town known as the home of Little League Baseball.

This story centers on an implausible murderer and his family – not that of the twelve-year-old victim and her family. And that’s a true crime reversal in itself. Other than one tragic realization, that is. Somebody got away with murder and, despite an impressive accumulation of exculpatory evidence widening cracks into chasms in the Commonwealth’s case presented in February of 1974, exoneration has eluded a family sacrificed for political gain and career expediency.

“Mosaic Pieces,” a work of narrative nonfiction by Wes Skillings, might at its heart be a true crime story, but it encompasses so much more than a murder case. Make that several decades more-three generations of one family- with the evolving story of the crime serving as the keystone of this arching chronicle of guilt versus innocence. Subtitled “Surviving the Dark Side of American Justice,” this book reads like a novel supported by a detailed journalistic approach from a man who retired after almost four decades as a newspaper editor, reporter and columnist.

The 1973-74 murder case itself is alternately fascinating and disturbing – if only because of what has been learned in the decades since the trial at the end of which Kim Lee Hubbard, 20, was convicted of murdering twelve-year-old Jennifer May Hill. He is a free man and has been for the past four decades and counting after paying his proverbial debt to society. Yet a debt is something you owe, and this convicted murderer, despite leading a productive and fulfilling life in the very community where the crime for which he was tried and convicted occurred, has his own debt to collect. The debt is exoneration for a crime he swears he didn’t commit and, as this true crime narrative that reads like a novel shows, one that relied on evidence that had been manipulated and manufactured.

The arrest, trial and jury’s verdict required only four-and-a-half months from the day the child’s remarkably well-preserved body was found in a cornfield a few hundred yards from her home on October 28, 1973. She had been dead in that field, according to evidence proffered by the Commonwealth, for 216 hours (nine days) in unseasonably warm and dry October weather for Pennsylvania. And yet the body on the autopsy table the evening of October 29, 1973, “was as fresh as if she had died just the day before,” according to the man who picked up the body and later embalmed it. Acclaimed forensics experts on body decomposition and time of death stated without reservation that the body must have been refrigerated for all but 48 hours of those nine days.

Other aspects of the case, including misuse and abuse of DNA by an apologist for the DA’s office, bring the impact of this story well into the 21st Century. Skillings offers readers the challenge to form their own impressions based on facts and expert opinions. Then again, it is a unique and thought-provoking true crime story with solid human-interest components and insights into murder case essentials like forensic science, expert witnesses, hypnotism of an eyewitness, evidential chain-of-custody and fast-and-loose DNA technology that is not questioned often enough.

About the author Wes Skillings retired from newspaper journalism on April 1, 2011, after 38 years as a reporter, columnist and editor where, among his assignments for three different newspapers, he covered everything from municipal meetings to murder trials. He is a Vietnam vet with a BA in English from Mansfield (PA) University, formerly Mansfield State College, where he won a national writing award in 1971 with an essay in The Atlantic Magazine Creative Writing Contests for College Students.

As a journalist, he received numerous Keystone Press Awards from the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association (PNA) — fifteen of them over his last 11 years in the business. Eight placed first in the state in their respective categories. His first award as a young reporter came years before in 1980—a first place from the Associated Press Managing Editors of Pennsylvania for exposing shoddy practices in a program overseen by a regional planning agency.

After retirement he continued as a freelance copywriter producing corporate biographies and website content, as well as blogs on various topics on his own website.

Surviving Breast Cancer – My Personal Story: Your Breasts Are Not Worth Dying For by Ady Iribhogbe

https://www.amazon.com/Surviving-Breast-Cancer-Personal-Breasts/dp/B0FKCQVDQK

This story is about cancer survival fueled with love. The love of our heavenly Father who promises never to leave us nor forsake us in every season of our lives, whether good times or bad. The love of a devoted husband who loved his wife unconditionally. Even when her chest had been amputated, he loved and stood by her in sickness and in health. The unconditional love of two amazing children who are not affected by how their mother looks. They are just happy to see her, hug her, and cuddle with her.

As long as there is life, there is hope for healing and strength for tomorrow. The lifelong love of my brothers, my siblings who always come running when I call from whatever corner of the country they are, and when they come, they do not come alone. They come with their amazing wives and children to show me and my family their love and support, and above all, they pray with us and for us.

This story is fueled by the corporate love of our church family and our Christian school family, our brothers and sisters in Christ who bombard us with visits, loving and encouraging messages, and meals prepared with love that warms your soul.

This is a story of how you can overcome in the middle of the struggles of life when surrounded by sisterly love from my sisters from another mother, my sisters in Christ, and my sisters for life. This is a story of how the love of God saved me, rescued me from the hands of a deadly disease, and transformed me back to the land of the living. When you read what I have experienced, you will know why I had to share this amazing story of survival with all of you, my fellow humans.

I am a woman of faith who has faced many adversities in life, and through it all, God, my Creator, has always been by my side. His promise to never leave me nor forsake me is true and evident in my life. Eight years ago when I got a diagnosis of breast cancer and my whole world was turned upside down, my faith in God, the love of a wonderful husband, my beloved children, family, and friends saw me through a terrible ordeal. I am alive today because of God being on my side, the miracle of modern medicine, and an amazing healthcare team of experts. I did not only survive breast cancer. I am living and thriving after breast cancer, and if God did it for me, He will do it for you too.

Oasis 4 is a space station located at a galactic crossroads in deep space, and it’s the property of Stellar Logistics and Freight Corporation.

Phil Ross is the manager of that station. The purpose of the station is to provide a place for commerce and trade to take place. Being situated where it is, the station is also often dragged into unfortunate situations and often becomes the location for less-than-legitimate activity.

Phil Ross and his staff find themselves constantly dealing with situations that often have huge implications for a great many worlds.

Phil and his staff go by a simple guiding principle to get them through situations, and that is to do the decent thing, whatever the challenge may be.

The result is a multiworld criminal syndicate has been put back on its heels, and the slave trade was dealt blows that they may not recover from.

Kentucky Barracuda: Parker H. French by Joe Goodbody

https://www.amazon.com/Kentucky-Barracuda-Parker-H-French/dp/1960224239

Parkerhfrench.com

Parker Hardin French was certainly an adventurer and entrepreneur who engaged in elaborate, bold, and ambitious exploits but he was also a magnificent con-man-a barracuda. Those who followed his exploits were variously exasperated, captivated by his audacity and nervy cheek, or humored by his latest escapade. He was judged an incorrigible scoundrel, labeled a chronic megalomaniac, or peddled as a misunderstood victim of his enemies. Many believed him a hero- many just thought him insane.

Some of his efforts may have begun as legitimate endeavors, but they inevitably resulted in double-crossed partners, betrayed allies. and swindled creditors. French was reported killed five times-twice killed in gunfights; executed in Mexico by both hanging and firing squad; and once killed in Nicaragua. For a short while there was a lapse of interesting press reports, so many just presumed that he was already dead, the victim of retribution or excessive alcohol. He ultimately died of natural causes-in his bed.

In the era of steam, sail and horse, the rapidity of French’s movement and breadth of his adventures is almost mind-numbing. As a runaway kid he fought in the British Navy in the first Opium War. When he was just 22 years old, he was a commission merchant and, a year later, built the first ocean going ship on the upper Mississippi. Before he was 30, he was the leader of an infamous gold rush expedition; implicated in an irregular invasion of Cuba; jailed bandit and then a paramilitary hero in Mexico; lawyer, district attorney, legislator, journalist, and political enforcer in California; member of an American cabal which governed Nicaragua; and, appointed but rejected Nicaraguan ambassador to the United States. He did not slowdown in his 30s: he was a real estate developer; lawyer; journalist; part of a conspiracy to invade Mexico; suspected seditionist agitator and Confederate agent; jailed as a political prisoner; and, lawyer and purveyor for Union troops. His final days were spent in obscurity but the period was still peppered with the occasional swindle that garnered both regional and national attention. First and foremost, he was always a barracuda.

Neurosynergyhealth.com

About the Guest(s): Dr. Sarah Young, PhD, is the founder of Neuro Synergy Integrative Health. With over a decade of experience as a licensed speech-language pathologist and advanced training in integrative health, neuroscience, and consciousness studies, Dr. Young has dedicated her career to helping adults overcome invisible complex health challenges. Through her innovative approach, she combines the principles of neuroplasticity with multidimensional healing processes, demonstrating that transformation is possible when the realms of science and soul intersect.

Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of The Chris Voss Show, host Chris Voss engages with Dr. Sarah Young, the visionary behind Neuro Synergy Integrative Health. Delving into Dr. Young’s personal journey and professional expertise, the conversation explores her inspiration for founding Neuro Synergy, following a traumatic brain injury before the pandemic. Dr. Young shares her unique methodologies that merge neuroscience and integrative health to address invisible health challenges such as brain fog, burnout, and chronic illnesses. This episode offers listeners insightful advice on maintaining physical and mental well-being through a holistic approach that harmonizes science and spirituality.

Focusing on neuroplasticity and its real-life applications, Dr. Young discusses how the brain’s capacity to rewire itself can aid in healing from brain injuries and improving mental pathways. She shares personal anecdotes from her journey of recovery and highlights the transformative power of persistence over perfection. The episode also addresses the critical importance of sleep as a strategy for mental and physical health, explaining its role in the brain’s self-cleaning process. Designed for everyone from individuals with health challenges to entrepreneurs and leaders, this episode provides actionable insights and resources for achieving sustainable wellness.

Key Takeaways: Neuroplasticity enables the brain’s ability to reroute and rewire, essential for healing injuries and optimizing mental pathways. Integrating neuroscience with holistic healing approaches can significantly improve conditions like brain fog, burnout, and chronic illnesses. Sleep plays a crucial role in the brain’s self-cleaning cycle, necessary for maintaining cognitive function and overall health. Persistence, rather than perfection, is key to personal transformation and health improvement. An individual’s sensitivity can be harnessed as a strength, particularly for empathetic and creative professionals, offering deeper insights into well-being and relationships.

Notable Quotes: “Transformation is possible when science and the soul work together.” “If we come into our healing with the idea that we’ve labeled ourselves as damaged or broken, then we’ve kind of given it up right then and there.” “Sleep is not a luxury but a necessity… it’s the foundation of our health and well-being.” “The brain’s ability to reroute itself gives us a lot of hope, it’s about persistence rather than perfection.” “Sensitivity is like an amplifier—viewing it as a strength offers deeper understanding and empathy.”

The Trail to Tincup: Love Stories at Life’s End by Joyce Lynnette Hocker

https://www.amazon.com/Trail-Tincup-Love-Stories-Lifes/dp/1631523414

In The Trail to Tincup: Love Stories at Life’s End, a psychologist reckons with the loss of four family members within a span of two years. Hocker works backward into the lives of these people and forward into the values, perspective, and qualities they bestowed before and after leaving. Following the trail to their common gravesite in Tincup, Colorado, she remembers and recounts decisive stories and delves into artifacts, journals, and her own dreams. In the process the grip of grief begins to lessen, death braids its way into life, and life informs the losses with abiding connections. Gradually, she begins to find herself capable of imagining life without her sister and best friend. Toward the end of the book Hocker’s own near-death experience illuminates how familiarity with her individual mortality helps her live with joy, confidence, and openness.

The Quantum Life: There Is a Better Way to Live by Dr M Teri Daunter

https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Life-There-Better-Live/dp/1639453652

The Quantum Life is provocative, intellectually and spiritually challenging. It will trigger you and it will awaken you because it demonstrates how you live in a world that is psycho-spiritually crippled. You are sleeping imprisoned it informs. You are so bound to the dumb conformity built from deceptive tricks that you hardly perceive your bonds. Normal is not healthy. Normal is neurotic. You have been chained and hampered and living a life of fiction Dr. Daunter exhorts.

The Quantum Life illustrates how you span two dimensions simultaneously. It teaches the reader to operate from a much larger computer with infinite information. It teaches you to release blocked creativity, endow your life with meaning and give you the opportunity to see yourself in the bigger scope of life by connecting to your Infinite Creative Intelligence. The Quantum Life provides you the longest vision in the room and awakens you to a profounder self-knowledge.

This fascinating book examines the idea of The Quantum Life -a way of approaching life that empowers one to realize that the true purpose of life is to be an active creator in a universe that is both conscious and connected. In fact, consciousness is at the center of what is known as The Quantum Life. The book’s introduction describes this belief as presenting an “inherent psychology of Consciousness.” The beginning of the book offers the theory that orthodoxy has brainwashed the masses. Calling it a disease, which merely shackles through “collective hypnosis and conditioning,” Daunter continues her argument that Quantum Spirituality sees the individual as a finite-infinite being with endless potential and endless possibilities. She recognizes C. G. Jung’s clinical research concerning the collective unconscious and how it affects one’s spirituality, physical health, and decision-making “as the seed from which Quantum Spirituality grew.” Daunter offers up an intriguing premise presented in an easily comprehended manner. She is undoubtedly passionate about the prospect of the human capacity to live The Quantum Life achieving full consciousness. The author’s passion for her subject and her unwavering belief in the human ability to transcend the confines of orthodoxy make this a concept one might wish to explore. Daunter’s book presents unorthodox ideas about life in an easy-to-understand and enthusiastic manner. Readers from all religious and philosophical backgrounds may find much food for thought in this work. US Review of Books by Kat Kennedy There are frequent mentions of the work of Carl Jung in these pages. Alongside these are exhortations which ring both contemporary and true, such as “Be the CEO and guardian of your soul.” This book is ultimately hopeful, a welcome departure from passive belief systems. The book calls for the awakening of mankind to its true calling, namely achieving selfhood and discarding false worship. Dr. Daunter writes, “Heaven and hell are states of consciousness in which you live.” This is evocative of the best of another spiritual whistleblower, namely William Blake. – David Allen, Pacific Book Review

Chance for Solinea by Genene Stradling

What else can go wrong for Solinea? In the three years since her mother had walked out leaving her with her stepfather, Tom, all she wanted was to be a “normal” teen-age girl with a normal life – friends, a real home and regular food. Just when it seems that things are starting to work out, her mother shows up out of nowhere. Why? Can Solinea forgive her? Does she still love her? The hurt and anguish and confusion tear her apart, what can she do? To top it all off, Solinea is in a school dance contest that night and – her skirt falls off! Yep! Right there in front of everyone. Does she have any chance for her normal life? Is she strong enough? Could be! “At some time in most of our lives we may feel like Solinea; alone and so overwhelmed with our problems that we just want to run away. But, we finally realize the only way to deal with them is to just face them like she did.”

It is designed it to be interactive . The intention is for it to empower and educate as many people as possible.

The Lies, the Truth, and the Food We Eat by Merrill Rounds

https://www.amazon.com/Lies-Truth-Food-We-Eat/dp/1644680548

Can you tell which food is real and what fake food is? Look closely at the cover of this book; many thanks to Marlene Rounds for this concept, design, and photography. The bottom line is what is in the real interest of Big Pharma, the FDA, and our government? Are they looking out for our best interest? Or are they taking bribes to line their own pockets at the expense of the very taxpayers they are supposed to represent? Some things have to change to regain our trust and make these institutions viable again. I hope this small book will spark enough interest to make you “really want to know” what’s really going on with our food supply in the United States.

https://store.bookbaby.com/book/how-to-be-a-good-dog

Overview “How to Be a Good Dog: Learning to Sit, Stay, and Heal” is a field manual for people who want to stop the madness in their minds. Learning to meditate is like taking a wild puppy — you know, the one eating socks and ripping up the couch in your brain—and transforming it into a faithful, reliable companion. Written for anyone tired of their mental chaos, (like a 40-year-old mom with kids), this is a meditation guide that uses the “F” word with impunity and does not sanction mysterious mantras, mudras, or hemp clothing. The book is for anyone worn down by the endlessly judgmental, negative commentator residing between their ears. Weary of the inner noise? Readers are guaranteed to laugh, relax, and learn how to find their mental alpha dog and train that unruly pup to sit, stay, and heal.

Description “How to Be a Good Dog: Learning to Sit, Stay, and Heal” is a field manual for people who want to stop the madness in their minds. Learning to meditate is about taking that wild puppy in your mind— you know, the one eating socks and ripping up the couch—and transforming it into a reliable companion. While meditation may seem simple, it is no easy feat. Training your puppy mind requires discipline, courage, and the willingness to be quiet. No phones, kids, co-workers, or partners—meditation is the bravest solo trek you’ll ever take. When you train your mind to sit, stay, and heal, you open your mind to a powerful force you never knew you had. Your mind will respond to every blow, joy, and sorrow with willingness, humor, and peace. Once your mind is a good dog, there is no going back to the chaos of puppyhood. If you want to heal the world, you must begin with yourself. Your healing will radiate out to your family, loved ones, and communities. Train your mind through meditation, and life will become a walk in the park.

The Epic of God by Louis McCall

https://www.amazon.com/Epic-God-Louis-McCall/dp/B0DVJ5G6W2

Louismccallinternational.com

Jesus used parables that were fictional to make practical and spiritual points, provoke thought, and enlighten.

The Epic of God is a speculative fictional account of the epic story of our heroic God, lover, and savior from eternity past to eternity future. Though fictional, this story is based on Biblical history, hints, and prophecy taken from scripture, brought to life and woven together by the narrative of a watcher angel.

About the author Louis McCall was born in Chicago, Illinois and attended Northwestern University where he received a Ph.D. Later, he also attended the National War College of the National Defense University. Louis was an Assistant Professor at the Ohio State University prior to a 36-year career in the U.S. Department of State, first as a Foreign Service officer and then as a foreign affairs Civil Service employee where he served as Consul General in Florence, Italy, Chargé d’Affaires in Brunei, U.S. Representative to the Republic of San Marino, and Assistant Inspector General. He lived in or worked in, at least temporarily, 60 countries on six continents. Whether in academia or as a diplomat, Louis found opportunities to live his faith, including part-time ministry of the good news in word and in song, including co-laboring with missionaries, national church leaders, and the underground church. When ministering early in his diplomatic career from the pulpit of a great church in Calcutta, India, Louis said to those in attendance that he had determined not to be ashamed of the gospel of Christ. That has been a commitment he has endeavored to keep over the years. In his final two years at the Department of State he organized and led the National Day of Prayer observances in the Department.

Now, in his new career as an author, he has the pleasure of greater freedom in sharing what God has placed in his heart. Louis is active simultaneously in two churches in Washington, D.C. One is a multi-site non-denominational church, where he is an elder, and the other a Catholic church where he is a regular cantor, though not a Catholic himself. He has managed this with the blessing and full knowledge of pastors and priests. This has been an outgrowth of his early association with a mixed protestant-Catholic charismatic house-based worship group, his association with the late Mother Teresa of Calcutta, his Catholic charismatic wife, and guest ministry in churches and bible schools of various denominations while living in or working in other countries.
