Editorial : From Publishers Weekly Twenty-three-year-old professional boxer Laila Ali, daughter of Muhammad Ali and Veronica Porche, notes, "I've always been a little suspicious of people who write books the minute they get famous if I write a book it's going to have to help people and tell the truth." Ali attempts to do that, but falls slightly short, offering instead a chronicle of her childhood and career thus far. In a direct, no-nonsense narrative, she discusses her feelings of isolation as her parents focused more on their public face than on family. She endured physical abuse, arrests, stints in jail and stays at a group home.

With an undefeated 100 boxing record, Laila Ali can definitely hold her own in the ring. She has received a firestorm of media coverage, and her recent bout with Jacqui Frazier was the most highly publicized female boxing fight ever.

Combining spiritual inspiration with practical guidance, Laila Alis program will show readers of all ages and backgrounds how to transform the demons of self-doubt into positive, winning energy.

2) Although 'Health' and 'Fitness' are often automatically joined together, they are different things. What comes to our reality will no longer become our destiny. So claim your adulthood. Mike Danford has written a book that feels like it is just for me - with ideas to simplify fitness, make it fun, still eat the foods that I want, and get results. I respect the author and agree with a lot of his points, especially in his criticism of Harry Potter, but I'm just not convinced by his portrayal of "The Lord of the Rings" as a wholesome Christian allegory. Literally, everything that has ever gone wrong in Gursant's life is chalked up as someone else's fault. This section is really quite interesting. Untill I exactly read her book, I never knew of her personal struggles she went through to being a
