In 2005, at the age of 20, Andy Lee decided he was going to try to
make it in the harsh and unforgiving world of professional boxing.
Leaving home for the dust and faded glamour of Detroit, over the
next ten years, under the guidance of the legendary Manny Steward,
he set about honing his craft, winning fight after fight, and
slowly ascending the professional ranks. Then, in 2012, his star
ascendant, Lee suffered two devastating blows in quick succession:
defeat in his first world championship bout and the sudden loss of
Steward, his guide and confidant. Bereft, his career in jeopardy,
the path to redemption would test every hard-won lesson of the
previous decade. 'Not so much a memoir as a lyrical treatise on the
great themes: defeat, death, persistence, redemption, and the
importance of friendship and family' Sunday Times
Every year since 1976, Project Censored, our nation's oldest
news-monitoring group, has produced a Top-25 list of underreported
news stories and a book dedicated to the stories that ought to be
top features on the nightly news, but that are missing because of
media bias and self-censorship.
A perennial favorite of booksellers, teachers, and readers
everywhere, "Censored" is one of the strongest lifesigns of our
current collective desire to get the news we citizens need-despite
what Big Media tells us.
Seven Stories Press has been publishing this yearbook since 1994.
The top 25 stories are listed in order of importance and for how
neglected these stories were by major media. Top stories in recent
years have included "Signs of an Emerging Police State," "Fukishima
Nuclear Disaster More Devestating Than Anticipated," "A 'Culture of
Cruelty' Along Mexico-US Border," and "Obama's War on
Whistleblowers." In additional chapters, scholars and journalists
take a critical look at timely issues, such as the US/NATO
military-industrial-media empire.
Oh! You opened the book. I assume that was an accident? No problem,
accidents happen. I'm not even angry. Just please don't turn the
page! Monster will do anything for you to not open this book, but
what will happen if you do? Young readers will love doing
everything they are asked not to, and turning the pages to discover
Monster's hilarious secret at the end of this funny picture book.
Do Not Open This Book is the hilarious, best-selling new book from
Australian radio DJ and comedian Andy Lee.
Andy was an industrial engineer from Indonesia. He couldn't use his
degree when he arrived here in America at age 25, in May 2002. The
currency at that time was US $1.00 = INA Rp. 10,000.00. Not wanting
to be in debt in the brand new frontier that he wasn't sure about
yet, he was determined to work his best with what he had and with
what he could do, and worked in fast food restaurants, shoe
departments, and martial arts schools. While doing so, he was also
an elder and a choir director at a local church, growing a blessed
beautiful family, and teaching MMA. The amazing thing is that he
had no debt at all, had paid off his mortgage, had built his
retirement and prepared for his children's future only during his
first 6.5 years of living here. All that was generated by his
family income which was mainly from his restaurant job and his
wife's retail job. That's quite a remarkable accomplishment that
many people don't dare to dream about, especially in this economy.
His book will open our eyes to what he believes and how he applies
it in his real life to accomplish such a true joy, health, and
wealth. Using a lot of fun, unique analogies and examples from
movies, sports, and real life scenarios, he really makes it easy
for people to connect to what he believes. His positive attitude
and outlook toward life are truly infectious. So many people who
have known him personally always feel that their spirit is
elevated, their adrenaline is pumped, and their potential is
boosted. And Andy really hopes that the very same positive effects
can be benefited by people everywhere through reading his book. And
Andy always wishes that someday he can personally meet everyone who
have read his book and congratulate them for their beautiful
transformation.
