The seemingly fictional tales of what LeRoy Buchholz endured are only matched by those of his resilience. Dan would never fully grasp the importance of the lessons LeRoy taught him during his time at college until some years later when he drives from Chicago to La Crosse, racing to make it to LeRoy's funeral in time. LeRoy was a Special Olympic bowler and bocce ball player. He mowed lawns for a living and did odd jobs throughout town with the help of his dear friend, Rob. The crazy tales of horrific accidents, bike theft, skulduggery, ice fishing mishaps, thwarted sexual assaults, and a friendship with Elvis Presley merely scratch the surface in this homage to one of the most intriguing Americans who ever lived.

We all know people who seem to have it all together; they come across as confident, accomplished, and successful to the outside world, and leave their friends to wonder, "How does she do it all?" Fast-paced, deadline-driven, and outcome-focused American life and work culture has bred Type-A personality behaviors, such as ambition, multitasking, and perfectionism. Unfortunately, Americans also have extremely high rates of depression and heart disease, which are often caused by common Type-A stressors and pressures to "have it all" and "be it all." From Type A to Type Me is a wakeup call for anyone with Type-A traits who is trapped by their negative side effects. Using new techniques with ancient wisdom, this book provides a down-to-earth, applicable roadmap for harnessing the values of the Type-A tendencies while releasing the rigid side effects that too often take over.
