#iBetOnMe: The Power of Discipline is a seasonal devotional that presents five "seasons" (not chapters) of unknown motivational quotes and passages that define our thoughts, actions and reactions to actively climbing yet another mountain of success. These quotes inspire the reader, as the passages stimulate their mind and interests, transitioning from hoarding thoughts to putting pen to paper. Discipline is an interactive book that expresses the importance of organization, actively engaging with what the reader is reading and giving ample space to define why remaining disciplined is so important to achieving our definition of success. This book was written to trigger our thoughts, ask ourselves questions and most importantly, answer those very questions, because we are in control of our ascend. The power of Discipline means a lot to me, it's the noun I leaned on heavily when not only climbing my first mountain, but it was my sanity to climb down, search out another mountain and climb again. Now at the top of yet another success this interactive body of work is part two that can serve as a journal or inspiration to creative our very own book, I did, why can't you?
Author: I'm Coach Donte' Davis, college head men's basketball coach who created a brand predicated towards self-motivation. My drive and motivation to achieve a manifestation transformed into a lifestyle and career. My #iBetOnMe brand slowly metastasized from a simple thought to my full-fledged confidence, taking over my mentality and reactions towards my definition of success. The game of basketball has always been in my life, after successfully playing college basketball I knew coaching the game was my calling. I didn't play at the highest level, yet I knew I was capable of coaching at the division one level. My goal of accomplishing that manifestation became an obsession, that's when #iBetOnMe was created. I decided to combine the aspects of my successful college playing career along with what it took to graduate college to fuel the direction of achieving the goal at hand. Coaching at the highest level would require more in-depth motivation, thought process and strategic discipline. Hence the titles of my books; (The Power of Self-Motivation & The Power of Discipline). After achieving that goal, I knew there was more to accomplish, being the head coach of a college program was now on my radar. Sitting at the top of that mountain of success, I have one more mountain to climb. These books are a microcosm of what it takes to not only achieve our definition of success, but what it takes to learn on the way up, with our sights set on exceeding all expectations.
The word "manifest" is the underlying purpose of not just my book, but my blog, website, and my personal journey. What I manifested drove me to sacrifice more than I'd ever thought. It forced me to work harder than I knew and it tightened my focus. It developed into an obsession. Its why we are talking today. So "Hello" to everyone who is taking the time to read my thoughts, navigate through my journey, all while sharing every inch of your own progress with me. This book is entirely interactive. #iBetOnMe is for everyone who's ever second-guessed their ability to reach their definition of success. Every quote identifies a stage of progression. Every passage defines my thoughts, ideas, struggles, and successes. The empty lines labeled "thoughts" are for you. As you read, jot down your thoughts and past failures ... and where you're heading. This will help you to successfully navigate through your journey. Welcome to the beginning of your progression! Take advantage of your thoughts. Question the path you're taking and enjoy every moment of having the control of reaching a goal you've manifested.

Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers -- and why they often go wrong.
How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true?
While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you'll hear the voices of people he interviewed--scientists, criminologists, military psychologists. Court transcripts are brought to life with re-enactments. You actually hear the contentious arrest of Sandra Bland by the side of the road in Texas. As Gladwell revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, and the suicide of Sylvia Plath, you hear directly from many of the players in these real-life tragedies. There's even a theme song - Janelle Monae's "Hell You Talmbout."
Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know. And because we don't know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world.

A poignant meditation on the bonds between mothers and daughters—and the inescapable effects of time—from the author of A Wrinkle in Time.
In the second memoir of her Crosswicks Journals, Madeleine L’Engle chronicles a season of extremes. Four generations of family have gathered at Crosswicks, her Connecticut farmhouse, to care for L’Engle’s ninety-year-old mother. As summer days fade to sleepless nights, her mother’s health rapidly declines and her once astute mind slips into senility. With poignant honesty, L’Engle describes the gifts and graces, as well as the painful emotional cost, of caring for the one who once cared for you.
As she spends her days with a mother who barely resembles the competent and vigorous woman who bore and raised her, L’Engle delves into her memories, reflecting on the lives of the strong women in her family’s history. Evoking both personal experiences and universal themes, The Summer of the Great-Grandmother takes an unflinching look at diminishment and death, all the while celebrating the wonder of life.
