{"product_id":"no-pressure-no-diamonds-abel-laeke-9781500603144","title":"No Pressure, No Diamonds: My Life and What It Takes to Lead","description":"The American Dream is alive and well. From a traditional Ethiopian home to the shores of my new home in the United States, struggle and a constant state of learning have been my continual companions. As a young man, I was lured by the bad behavior of those I considered friends, alarming my family and derailing my life. Add the trauma of the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, and my life hurtled toward the dark halls of a psychiatric institution. Like a phoenix, I was able to reclaim my life and turn my hard-won lessons into a passion for service to humanity. \"No Pressure, No Diamonds\" is a blazingly honest memoir, by turns controversial, insightful, and thought-provoking. This sharp and unflinching look at my life (so far) will engage readers in every state of mind, from ambitious to self-examination to grace. I don't possess a Ph.D. or MBA, and you can't buy the lessons I've learned at an Ivy League school. I learned the hard way how to rebuild my life and how to be a valuable member of my community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abel Laeke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1500603147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781500603144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.68d","brand":"Abel Laeke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46334481563903,"sku":"9781500603144","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ceae06bd-c6d9-42ef-840b-05b1b8f62597.jpg?v=1731466944","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-pressure-no-diamonds-abel-laeke-9781500603144","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
