Forged in Chaos: A Warrior's Origin Story
by Tyler Grey Lauren UngeldiForged in chaos, shattered in peace: What happens when the war doesn&’t end, it just moves inside your head?Tyler Grey was the epitome of the warrior archetype: a Delta Force operator, a master of counterterrorism. He hunted the worst bullies on the world&’s playground—high-value targets, bomb makers, warlords—executing covert missions that never made the news. He had perfected the persona—ruthless, efficient, untouchable—until one mission in Sadr City, Iraq changed everything.&” On what should&’ve been a routine raid, an explosion ripped through the home shattering more than just flesh and bone; it fractured his identity. Stripped of everything that defined him, Tyler reached for chaos: sex, substances, a romance that was either a love worth fighting for or his ultimate kryptonite. But beneath it all, the hunger for chaos never died. He was built for it. Without it, his body rebelled, his mind fractured, and the war turned inward. In this raw, antiheroic tale, Tyler dissects his life, exposing the unseen war within and exploring the question: What happens when the very abilities that made you a superhero in the eyes of the world turn you into a supervillain in your own life? Despite rising PTSD awareness, we&’re losing more warriors at home than in war. Such a devastating reality begs the question: What if we&’ve fundamentally misunderstood this disease? This book doesn&’t challenge the narrative; it destroys it, laying bare the cost of being forged in chaos. This isn&’t a war story. It isn&’t a tribute to sacrifice or a highlight reel of heroics. Forged in Chaos rips the mask off the warrior experience, exposing the truth that most never dare to face: The fight isn&’t over. And this time, the enemy isn&’t out there—it&’s within.

Exercise can be used in three ways: for rest and relaxation, for muscle-building and figure-contouring, and for cardiorespiratory fitness. All three have merit but only one can protect you from disease and prolong your life, and that is exercise for cardiorespiratory fitness—or, as most people call it: cardio.

Our survival depends on our ability to take in oxygen and deliver it efficiently to every area of the body. Dr. Kenneth Cooper&’s work as a pioneering researcher and preventive medicine physician has proven the benefits of aerobic exercise and how physiological changes in the body positively impact your overall health—plus make you feel good. Learning to follow his 8 Steps to Get Cooperized™ may be the way to make you healthy again, as it could the entire world, and help extend your life by as much as 10 years. Even minimal improvements—such as going from being totally inactive to exercising just 30 minutes a day, most days per week—are enough to drastically alter the course of a person&’s life. Reduce your risk of Alzheimer&’s and dementia, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, and certain types of cancer by moving more. Today, at age 94, after practicing and teaching the value of preventive medicine, Dr. Cooper continues to think about new ways of doing things, new ways of presenting and studying data, new ways of looking at prevention. Take a deep dive inside the mind of an icon. He&’s done the research for you. Now it&’s your choice to become healthier sooner than later.

Passport to Danger

Squirrel Shared His Nest with Owl
by Manny AgahThis story is written for younger children to highlight the environmental changes that could impact their activities, reassure them, and relieve their anxiety and fear. These changes not only disrupt their daily routines, but may also require them to temporarily take shelter in places other than their family homes for safety. The sudden changes also put other living species close to us in harm&’s way. It is documented that these creatures also recognize the danger of being caught in a storm and wind. They seek refuge in tall trees and return to their homes and nests after the storm passes.In writing this short story, I have emphasized that, regardless of whether a creature is a predator or prey, when both face a common threat such as a storm, they share resources and accommodate each other to overcome the danger – just as we do by helping friends and neighbors during natural disasters.
