My name is Derek. I used to feel like I was just another person in the world. Living life, day by day, following my routine and letting fate take me where I was supposed to go. I decided to change that by running. I would be the one making my own path and challenging myself with new goals and new adventures. I started feeling much better and gained a lot of confidence, so I set the goal of running 25 races in 2012 and writing a book about my experiences. Each chapter describes how I was feeling, some of the events and how my attitude changed throughout the year. I used to be shy and unsure of myself about running and going through my daily routine. Now I get out and take on the world. I'm the guy you'll find running next to you, encouraging you to keep going, singing, doing back flips and getting the crowd riled up. The book mentions 15 stories about my struggles and triumphs, summing everything up in the final chapter. Running is how I began to find confidence and motivation. This book was written to help you find your passion in life and push you to live the best life you can.

“Most of the serious thinking I have done over the past twenty years has been done while running,” says philosophy professor Mark Rowlands, who has run for most of his life. And for him, running and philosophizing, are inextricably connected.In Running with the Pack, he reveals the most significant runs of his life—from the entire day he spent running as a boy in Wales, to the runs along French beaches and up Irish mountains with his beloved wolf, Brenin, and through Florida swamps with his husky-mix, Nina. Intertwined with this honest, passionate and witty memoir are the fascinating meditations that those runs triggered, from mortality, midlife, and the meaning of life. A highly original and moving book that will make the philosophically inclined want to run, and those who love running become intoxicated by the beauty of philosophy.

You can follow the beaten path and call yourself an entrepreneur or you can blaze your own trail and really be one. When Derek Sivers started CD Baby, he wasn’t planning on building a major business. He was a successful independent musician who just wanted to sell his CDs online. When no one would help him do it, he set out on his own and built an online store from scratch. He started in 1998 by helping his friends sell their CDs. In 2000, he hired his first employee. Eight years later, he sold CD Baby for $22 million. Sivers didn’t need a business plan, and neither do you. You don’t need to think big; in fact, it’s better if you don’t. Start with what you have, care about your customers more than yourself, and run your business like you don’t need the money.

Still Waters Run Deep is the inspiring, true story of a misguided youth who is placed in a juvenile psychiatric facility at the age of fifteen after being arrested and charged with breaking and entering. There, he finds faith in Christ, which enables him to overcome the hardship with which he is faced and graduate from high school with honors. After graduating from Charles Evans Hughes High School in 1981, author Derek Reeves went on to obtain a bachelor's degree in American history and a master's degree in theological studies. Anyone genuinely interested in understanding the crisis of young black males during the 1960's and 70's will enjoy reading Derek's book, as will anyone who has ever been on the wrong side of the law and achieved salvation from a life of sin. This book will also appeal to anyone interested in understanding the experience of black students at historically white schools. In the context of talking about his struggle to overcome juvenile delinquency and a dysfunctional family, the author explores the doubts, fears, and perplexities related to being schooled with white children and having a turbulent family life. His writing is honest and self-disclosing, his perceptions keen and discerning.

A New York Times bestseller for 14 weeks in 1978, Running & Being became known as the philosophical bible for runners around the world. More than thirty years after its initial publication, it remains every bit as relevant today. Written by the late, beloved Dr. George Sheehan, Running & Being tells of the author's midlife return to the world of exercise, play and competition, in which he found "a world beyond sweat" that proved to be a source of great revelation and personal growth. But Running & Being focuses more on life than it does, specifically, on running. It provides an outline for a lifetime program of fitness and joy, showing how the body helps determine our mental and spiritual energies. Drawing from the words and actions of the great athletes and thinkers throughout history, Sheehan ties it all together with his own philosophy on the importance of fitness and sport, as well as his knowledge of training, injury prevention, and race competition. Above all, Sheehan describes what it means to experience the oneness of body and mind, of self and the universe. In this, Sheehan argues, we have the power to discover "the truth that makes men free."

A New York Times bestseller 'A sensation ... a rollicking tale well told' - The Times At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world; in 1993, one of them, aged 57, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing a toga and sandals. A small group of the world's top ultra-runners (and the awe-inspiring author) make the treacherous journey into the canyons to try to learn the tribe's secrets and then take them on over a course 50 miles long. With incredible energy and smart observation, McDougall tells this story while asking what the secrets are to being an incredible runner. Travelling to labs at Harvard, Nike, and elsewhere, he comes across an incredible cast of characters, including the woman who recently broke the world record for 100 miles and for her encore ran a 2:50 marathon in a bikini, pausing to down a beer at the 20 mile mark.
