And the very few who do aren't about to tell - because they're making a killing.This is a market that's rigged, out of control and out of sight; a market in which the chief need is for speed; and in which traders would sell their grandmothers for a microsecond.

Violent confrontations between law enforcement and the public are on the rise and fueling a national debate. This book answers the question, how can we stop these violent confrontations from occurring in the first place? Written by former Los Angeles Police Officer Michael Lewis, An In Depth Analysis on How to Avoid Violent Confrontations with Law Enforcement, is a satirical book and one of the shortest books ever written. However, the book's message is not satirical but a message which every parent should tell their child. It's a message seldom stated by the media, politicians or even law enforcement. Over my career I know that the vast majority of law enforcement Officers don't want to get involved in a use-of-force incident. Its the citizen's who are really in control of the Police Officer's actions. The answer to the question on how to avoid a violent confrontation with law enforcement begins and ends on page one, with one single message with one single sentence. I hope you find the book a bit humorous but the message is important. It can literally save lives.

I decided, with all my heart, to write this book of courage, inspired by Great men and women. My book COURAGE ON OUR JOURNEY TO HAPPINESS MAKES US WORTHY Of RESPECT is a vehicle that will show you how to learn to be courageous and attain or regain (through that positive earned state of mind) Happiness. "Men and women, living through a great moral crisis, found within themselves the ability to act with enormous courage. This formed them into greatness. Their actions and beliefs modeled their lives, giving others an example of faith and courage to follow their steps. The courage we desire and the prize is not the courage to die decently, but to live meaningfully."-Thomas Carlyle. My goal is to facilitate others, one person at a time in their learning how to be courageous, and in turn motivating them to make the world a better place, by their actually intending, attempting, and doing some good, and not just existing by taking up space living on our planet.

An inspirational/motivational book that takes one through one's day, including work, relationships, learning and everything in between.
