Jordan Lee Dooley knows how devastating it can be to almost achieve a goal, almost reach a dream, or almost get to where you want to be, only to land just short of the finish line or watch it all fall apart at the last minute.
Disrupted, delayed, or even seemingly destroyed dreams have a way of making us rethink everything. But perhaps rethinking dreams is not always the worst thing. In those moments, you have a chance to pause and consider what matters most to you as well as redefine what success looks like for you in a world that’s constantly telling you what you should want or should do.
Believe it or not, it is possible to cultivate a life you really like—and one where you can succeed—in the tension of the middle, between where you started and where you hoped to be.
Discover:
- the single most important question to ask yourself as you set goals and make plans
- practical steps to move forward when your plans don’t go according to plan
- how to clarify which goals are right for you to pursue (and which are not)
- • what to do when dreams seem to come true for everyone but you
- the unexpected gains that can arise from unwanted pain
- how to know when it’s time to let go of a dream—and what to do with the space left behind
Life is filled with unexpected interruptions, almost-but-not-quite moments, uncertainty, and in-between seasons. As hard as those experiences may be, they also offer a unique invitation to align your dreams and goals with what matters most.

Atlanta is the only American city to have been destroyed by fire as
an act of war, and it has its share of salacious stories. Wealthy
felons hosted elaborate parties inside the federal penitentiary.
Billionaire bootleggers and murderous rich boys practiced
corruption that reached all the way to the White House. Fast and
fearless drivers, complete with glamorous reputations and criminal
careers, gave rise to auto racing. Join author Laurel-Ann Dooley as
she navigates the underworld of Atlanta's past filled with
kidnapping, bribery, wives hiring hit men and all sorts of criminal
debauchery.
This book provides a new understanding of the eurozone crisis
across three of the worst hit cases: Greece, Portugal, and Ireland.
In contrast to accounts which stress the 'immaturity' of the
European 'periphery', as well as more critical narratives that
understand these countries as victims of German and core 'economic
domination', this book recognises that individual peripheral
countries have followed dramatically different paths to crisis,
making it difficult to speak of the eurozone crisis as a single
phenomenon. Bringing literature from Comparative Political Economy
into dialogue with scholarship on Europeanisation, this book
contributes the concept of 'divergence via Europeanisation'. It
explores the much-overlooked ways in which the negotiation of a
'one size fits all' project of European financial integration has
been generative of precarious patterns of economic growth across
Greece, Portugal, and Ireland. The book shows that far from their
failure or inability to do so, it has been the European periphery's
attempt to 'follow the rules' of European integration that explains
their current difficulties. This novel understanding of the
eurozone crisis should appeal to students and scholars in
International Political Economy, European and European Union
Studies, Comparative Political Economy, Irish Politics, Greek
Politics, and Portuguese Politics.

With reference to traditional film theory and frameworks drawn from
fields such as screenwriting studies and anthropology, this book
explores the challenges and opportunities for both practitioners
and viewers offered by the 360-degree storytelling form. It focuses
on cinematic virtual reality (CVR), a format that involves
immersive, high quality, live action or computer-generated imagery
(CGI) that can be viewed through head mounted display (HMD) goggles
or via online platforms such as YouTube. This format has surged in
popularity in recent years due to the release of affordable high
quality omnidirectional (360-degree) cameras and consumer grade
HMDs. The book interrogates four key concepts for this emerging
medium: immersion, presence, embodiment and proximity through an
analysis of innovative case studies and with reference to
practitioner interviews. In doing so, it highlights the specificity
of the format and provides a critical account of practitioner
approaches to the concept development, writing and realisation of
short narrative CVR works. The book concludes with an account of
the author's practice-led research into the form, providing a
valuable example of creative practice in the field of immersive
media.
The authors capture defining research on all aspects and
implications of the accelerated progress of mobile multimedia
technologies, including fundamental network infrastructures, modern
communication features such as wireless and mobile multimedia
protocols, personal communication systems, mobility and resource
management, and security and privacy issues.
