Coming to Terms with Mediocrity: One Life Lesson at a Time
Unless there is something unique about you, such as you're an alien or superhuman or totally full of sh*t, you live your life like the rest of us - one mundane, mediocre moment at a time. That's what this book is about. It's about moment-to-moment personal endeavors and the lessons they can teach to the people who live a daily life - us. The topics range from the underlying fear that the author is wasting her life by not getting to the things she knows deep down she should do, to why Mother Nature is a rat-eating assh*le. Some other topics covered are: dieting; the dreaded plateau; money (or lack thereof); asking for help; a man's relationship to food; how expectations can make us miserable; the role of flatulence in marriage; the anxiety of writing a book and risking ridicule and failure; and the horrifying discovery that she's not a supermodel, rock star or racecar driver, and is, instead, a nervous wreck. The book is personal, unpretentious, totally open, and pretty darn funny, too..

One Unknown: A Remarkable Account of Survival and Coming to Terms With a New Life
Gill Hicks was on her way to work aboard a London tube train on July 7, 2005 when a terrorist bomb exploded inside her car. Amazingly—and against all odds—she survived the blast, but due to the injuries she sustained her legs had to be amputated. In this moving personal memoir Gill recounts her experiences, including coming face-to-face with the prospect that she might die, her subsequent fight to live, as well as her later the later loss of her legs and her new life as a disabled person. Excerpts from the diary she wrote during her rehabilitation are included, each entry tracing the journey of her extraordinary recovery. Gill asks important questions about how we set our priorities and the way we live our lives. Told with great integrity and honesty along with a lack of self pity and keen sense of humor, this is a moving account for an extraordinary woman. .
