Ever since his astonishing victory in the 1991 PGA Championship, John Daly has enthralled fans with his big drives, bigger personality, and "Grip It and Rip It" approach to golf - and to life. Usually seen with a Marlboro Light dangling from his lip, John is the unchained, unpredictable, unapologetic bad boy of professional golf. My Life in and out of the Rough is a thrillingly - and sometimes shockingly - candid memoir of a larger-than-life athlete battling assorted addictions (alcohol, gambling, chocolate, sex), his weight, and, perhaps worst of all, divorce lawyers.

The War after the War is a lively military history and overview of Reconstruction that illuminates the new war fought immediately after the American Civil War. This Southern Civil War was distinct from the American Civil War and fought between southerners for control of state governments. In the South, African American and white unionists formed a successful biracial coalition that elected state and local officials. White supremacist insurrectionaries battled with these coalitions and won the Southern Civil War, successfully overthrowing democratically elected governments.

When a group of people gather together to generate ideas for solving a problem or achieving a goal, sometimes the best ideas are passed over. Worse, a problematic suggestion with far less likelihood of success may be selected instead. Why would a group dismiss an option that would be more effective? Leadership and communications expert John Daly has a straightforward answer: It wasn't sold to them as well. If the best idea is yours, how can you increase the chances that it gains the support of the group? In Advocacy: Championing Ideas and Influencing Others, Daly explains in full detail how to transform ideas into practice.

Golf My Own Damn Way is a different golf instructional book, as only John Daly can write. Funny, irreverent, and crude, this book is perfect for the golfer looking to improve his or her game, or for nongolfers looking for a laugh. With short, quirky chapters that cover everything from improving your swing to John's favorite courses, this book is more than just a golfing manual. You'll also get John's thoughts on the current state of the game and his opinions on other players on the PGA tour.

It’s been a little while since I was reminded about some important life lessons from Damon West (@damonwest7) and he reminds us that: “Here are some ways to be a coffee bean and keep your momentum up especially around this time of year! Remember, you are capable of much more than you think.” There are 4 areas he shares about how we can become a Coffee Bean: 1) Fuel your life with purpose, 2) Be humble and hungry, 3) Make life a mission trip and 4) Remember when you succeeded (click HERE for the video on Damon West’s story). This is something each of us can connect with and take ...

Found an amazing reminder this morning from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) where he shared a powerful, yet simple reminder for us all about our health. He shared: “Health does not always come from medicine. Most of the time it comes from peace of mind, peace in the heart, peace of soul. It comes from laughter and love!” I needed this reminder for sure as most days get a little crazy and I need to keep reminding myself that this is one of the things that I need to keep building my life with. As always, I’m hoping it helps you too. Thanks for listening. Please take a few moments ...

"Mr. Cardigan...if we come to terms, I'll go and fetch your daughter back. I don't want to be considered a killer, but if your son-in-law is as quick as you say, why - I'll bring your daughter home a widow!"

He's stopped drinking, he's taking better care of himself, and he's working hard to keep a fledgling security business afloat. At a blood plasma bank Sean frequents to earn extra income, he meets the distraught relative of Andrew Carson, a man who went missing weeks earlier on the other side of the state, with a pool of blood in the snowy driveway of his home as the only clue to the man's fate.

Saw a post that for sure spoke right to me and I think there will be a few other people that will feel the same. Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) posted this reminder - “Control your laziness, and you’ll understand how much success you’ve been avoiding.” Yep… this was for me. I’ve shown various types of laziness throughout my lifetime and I’ve figured out for sure, that because of those choices - success has been avoiding me along with me avoiding it. That time is ending. It’s not gone all the way, but it sure is getting better. Hope this helps you to connect more with ...

Another fantastic and powerful post that just got delivered to me from the one and only, Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_). Listen to this one, “You become unstoppable when you work on things that people can’t take away from you.” This post really got me fired up and looking to continue to work hard and make changes that I know I need to make in my life. I know that I need to simply keep working on these things a little bit every single day and things will keep getting better (maybe not easier), but they will improve. Amazing to think that others - even though they will try, they won’t ...

Thirty years ago, Sean Coleman's father abandoned his family in the Colorado mountain town of Winston, and was never heard from again. The reason for his disappearance was always a mystery, but a lifetime of blaming himself put Sean on a rough, dark path that took him years to return from. Now content in his life, Sean receives unexpected word that his father has finally reemerged, on the other side of the country in Pawleys Island, South Carolina...as a murder victim. At the wishes of his sister, Sean flies out to retrieve the body, and hopefully find answers to why his father, left and the life he went on to lead. What Sean discovers is a second family, a web of deception, and a brutal killer who's still on the loose...and isn't finished killing.

Found myself watching a clip that I have seen & watched before and again, it’s a message that I needed to hear & see again - it’s got that much value for sure. Coach Kara Lawson (@karalawson20) is the head women’s basketball coach at Duke University. She’s one of the best out there as a coach and a leader and of the reasons why she is - she played for the legendary coach and leaders, Coach Pat Summitt at the University of Tennessee. Kara’s website. Watch this video first - this is where Coach Lawson shares her thoughts on “handling hard better.” After that video, please ...

We live in an anxious age. Long-held certainties, cherished beliefs, and social trust are crumbling. Don’t expect things to get better. For too long we have taken our Christian heritage—the heritage upon which America was built—for granted. But we’re rapidly, and now inevitably, losing the Christian culture that shaped the American republic. What will take its place is a despotism—and a new paganism, worse than the old, because it will be based on a hatred of Christianity.

Few residents in the small, secluded mountain town of Winston, Colorado, have kind words to say about Sean Coleman. He's a bully, a drunk, and a crime show-addicted armchair detective with an overactive imagination. After a night of poor judgment, Sean finds himself the sole witness to the unusual suicide of a mysterious stranger. With the body whisked away in the chilling rapids of a raging river, no one believes Sean's account.

Another home run hit here by Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) and this is one to take a moment to let it sink in & keep with you. This was a powerful reminder for me to throw that switch and change the way I think about when things are “happening to me” and look at them for the lessons that they can offer me to get better. Since life will never stop teaching, I figure I might as well never stop learning. This is a great conversation for all of us to have with our individual person that we see in the mirror every single day! Then, just keep working on learning the lessons, applying them...
