Entrepreneur and US Marine Korey Shaffer's road through life was tougher than most. After returning from a harrowing tour of duty in Afghanistan, and still aching from his troubled childhood and adolescence, Shaffer felt his chance to leave something of value to the world might have passed. But even in despair, he knew that many did not return home at all, or returned more broken than he was. Determined that the wounded and fallen not be abandoned or forgotten, Shaffer founded the Til Valhalla Project, an organization devoted to honoring the fallen and preventing veteran suicides. Til Valhalla unexpectedly proved to be Shaffer's salvation as well.

Sharing intimate details from his square-peg childhood, reckless adolescence, brotherhood-seeking teen years, and traumatic experiences in combat and back home, Shaffer demonstrates that society doesn't dictate who we are or will be-that is up to us. The path to who we can become lies through careful, daily exercise of will, repetition, and affirmation.

Shaffer is convinced that the discipline he drew from this struggle can be of use to others. What it takes to overcome the broken state, Shaffer contends, is a willingness to face pain head-on and use adversity as rocket fuel to regain purpose and create resilience. In Legacy Mindset: Take Charge of Today and Build Extreme Resilience, Shaffer lays out the sinews and bones of the daily discipline that allowed him to repair what was broken and build upon it. He challenges us to:

• Evaluate whether our pain is constructive or destructive
• Reassess what things in life we assign value to
• Radically change our daily habits by practicing micro-disciplines
• Trust our intuition when it is telling us to speak up
• Commit to excellence in everything we do-even when no one is watching

In the spirit of Hoosiers, Friday Night Lights, and The Boys in the Boat comes the classic underdog story of a high school basketball team's quest for glory and a young man's journey of growth, family, and determination. Set against the vibrant backdrop of mid-1970s Long Island, New York, this heartwarming memoir captures the excitement, challenges, and camaraderie of a small-town varsity basketball team and its dreams of triumph.

Thirteen-year-old Tom McKeown, growing up in a close-knit Irish American family, struggles to balance school, friends, and the newly discovered world of teenage society. It's an era when race and class divisions were very real, but bridged by athletics and community purpose. From his vantage in the eighth grade, Tom and the Village of Babylon follow their varsity basketball team, the Panthers, as they fight their way forward in hopes of claiming the first ever Long Island Championship.

Led by visionary coach Roy Koelbel and star player Glenn Vickers, the Panthers confront adversity on and off the court. Each obstacle overcome brings them closer to that elusive title. At the heart of their journey is a knockdown trilogy of games with a familiar and formidable Amityville team, who have dreams of their own.

With a keen eye for strategy, detail, execution, and a deep love for the game of basketball, McKeown chronicles a season of finding purpose in unexpected places, the power of teamwork, and the thrill of cheering for a team that embodies the heart and spirit of a community. Even when faced with potential heartbreak, you'll find yourself shouting, This is Panther Country!

For master certified relationship counselor Reta Faye Walker, this confession has been a repeated theme from disconnected couples for over twenty years. Deeply informed by her own experience of divorce, Walker knows that when a couple begins to anguish over the good times of the past, their relationship has reached a critical juncture. It's likely time to make the most important decision of the rest of their lives: exit and seek a new, temporary romance, or engage in authentic conversation fueled by daring openness, deep listening, emotional insight, endless curiosity, and a desire to overcome any obstacle-together. Understanding that many people hold a fairy-tale picture of love as a pretty lie built on the fickle recollection of honeymoon ecstasy, Walker shows us how building a foundation of understanding can help lead to true, lasting love that grows richer by the day.

In Guide to Lasting Love: A Therapist's 21-Day Program to a Fulfilling Relationship, Walker teaches couples how to:

• Move away from destructive criticism and toward constructive empathy
• Surmount the difficulties of personality differences and enjoy their rewards
• Effectively reduce their stress through team cooperation
• Investigate their unconscious agenda in order to set more reasonable expectations
• Reinvigorate intimacy with out-of-the-box thinking
