    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;What makes some people rise above life's ups and downs, and yet others seem to wallow in self-pity and helplessness? How do some of us achieve our dreams and become successful, while others never seem to get their ideas off the ground? What's your excuse for not being the best, most successful person you can be? Les Brown addresses each of these questions in his updated publication of 'Up Thoughts for Down Times.' From his examples of people who found opportunity in times of crisis (like during the recent devastating hurricanes) to his insistence that we live without regrets, he has managed through cleverly-written chapters to reassure us that even in what we consider unbearable circumstances, that there is a way to move forward.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>In his bestselling book and audio, <em>Live Your Dreams,</em> Les Brown tells you that you can change your life and realize even your wildest dreams. Now in this final lecture of a six-tape series, <em>The Courage to Live Your Dreams,</em> he tells you how.</p><p><strong>Side One:  You've Gotta Be Hungry.</strong><br/>&quot;You've Gotta Be Hungry&quot; is one of Les Brown's credos. It symbolizes a man who refuses to be defeated by life and its problems -- a man who is hungry for success and fulfillment. You'll see how Les Brown's story can be an inspiration to all of us. Conventional wisdom or so-called logical thinking tells us that the Browns of the world have little chance of overcoming their handicaps and environment to succeed in this world. But &quot;logical thinking&quot; doesn't always take into account a burning desire to achieve. That's what Les Brown had. That's what allowed him to overcome proverty, a tough environment, and many other problems to become one of the most successful speakers in the nation. You can get what you want by going after life with everything you have. All it takes is that same credo, &quot;You've Gotta Be Hungry.&quot;</p><p><strong>Side Two:  Put It All Together.</strong><br/>In this concluding lecture, Les Brown gives you one of the most inspirational messages you'll ever receive. It's a message of hope and optimism. It's a powerful affirmation of all the greatness you can bring to the world. It's a bold statement that says, &quot;You can be anything you want to be if you'll only give yourself the chance.&quot; Les Brown puts all his ideas together in a way you'll never want to forget.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[This book presents more hard hitting cases from the authors of &quot;Glasgow Crimefighter&quot;. As legendary Glasgow detective Les Brown re-investigates cases from Stratford in east London to Wick, via Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire and Renfrewshire, he finds that, often, the official police line doesn't quite add up...The body of a young electrician is dragged from a harbour. The police say the death was an accident, but a mysterious man confesses to murder. What is the truth? A young Scotsman is found dead on the pavement near to a multi-story London car park. Did he jump or was he pushed? Then there's the rape and strangling of 14-year-old Pamela Hastie and the killing of 11-year-old Tracy Waters...two of the most horrific and puzzling cases in West of Scotland crime. And the mystery of 12-year-old Moira Anderson's death in Coatbridge, the strange case of rape at a holiday camp, and the disturbing facts of a series of unsolved murders of street prostitutes.  These and many more Real Hard Cases are re-opened by Les Brown, in this intriguing new book co-written with Robert Jeffrey, author of a best-selling string of true crime titles, including &quot;Glasgow's Hard Men&quot;, &quot;Gangland Glasgow&quot; and &quot;Glasgow's Godfather&quot;.]]>
