book review – Beyond Belief by Josh Hamilton

Josh Hamilton is a true success. He had it all, hit bottom, and now it is really Return to the top of the mountain. As a boy, he became interested in baseball at a very early age, and was so good at the game he was located in the big leagues much more before it is even ten years. He had such a strong arm and powerful swing that has been thought to be a danger to the boys of his age with whom he played little league baseball.

As he grow older, it was on strong morals that his parents instilled young boy. He learned that the family is the most important thing in life and found joy welcome to stay nights when his friends were without risking trouble. He entered high school and began to realize immediately that he had major league potential and achieve its goal the major leagues. His dreams came true when he graduated from high school and was signed number one in the draft League God, to accept an offer and signing bonus of more than four million dollars.

Hamilton transition to stardom and become a man was awkward. His parents followed him in the minor leagues to ensure that it troubles and some of his teammates and coaches have found this strange. It was sheltered all his life, and now at his post, they were still hosting it.

When her parents finally given the freedom, Hamilton began to exhibit suspicious behavior. He earned more than a dozen tattoos in a short period of time and started experimenting with drugs with the men who gave him his tattoos. Hamilton hit a slippery slope and started taking the drug more and more. Part of it was the feeling of the drug, but drugs also took his mind back pain he experienced a car accident.

Josh Hamilton finally started hanging with the wrong crowd. He started becoming paranoid about purchasing drugs and spend huge money to have access to hard drugs. It is passed in random trailers and blackened many times because of the large amount of his medication, but always had the love of family and natural talent in baseball to bring it into the light.

He finally went to the house of his grandmother in the middle of the night, and she was responsible for changing his life. She constantly told him he would play baseball again one day with a reassuring confidence. She eats all the food he could handle and gave him a place to sleep. Josh gained weight rapidly and began suggests that a return to baseball was a good possibility, but he had no idea who would give a drug addict a worn- another chance.

Hamilton found his answer in a religious group baseball and was forced to perform janitorial tasks during the day to win on the field and practice batting cage in the evening. He noted he still had an incredible swing and weight training, he was back in great shape in no time.

Josh knew the right people in the right places at the right time, and was called by the organization of Cincinnati Red leagues. He has had an impact right away, but was eventually traded to the Texas Rangers. While in the Ranger organization, he began to start every game and made the All-Star team. He proved he had the momentum throughout, he just needed a nudge in the right direction to achieve its true potential.

One thing to take away from Beyond Belief, is that the family is the most important thing a person will never have. Sometimes you can not notice it, but it is easy to get lost in the world, without family and the assurance that someone is there for you. Fortunately for Josh Hamilton, his parents and his wife stuck with him throughout his addiction to the whole and the recovery process. His wife proved a remarkable woman and her grandmother showed the strength that no one could. This autobiography is an excellent read if you love baseball or not. Hamilton story is incredible success story that makes you appreciate family and live a healthy life. This book gets a score of 5 out of 5 stars Easy.

autobiographies $19.99 The Collected Works of W. B. Yeats, Volume III: Autobiographies is part of the fourteen-volume series overseen by eminent Yeats scholars Richard J. Finnerah and George Mills Harper. The series includes virtually all of the Nobel laureate’s published work, with authoritative and explanatory notes. Autobiographies consists of six autobiographical works — Reveries Over Childhood and Youth, The Trembling of the Veil, Dramatis Personae, Estrangement, The Death of Synge, and The Bounty of Sweden — that William Butler Yeats published together in the mid-1930s to form a single, extraordinary memoir of the first fifty-eight years of his life, from his earliest memories of childhood to winning the Nobel Prize for Literature. This volume provides a vivid series of personal accounts of a wide range of figures, and it describes Yeats’s work as poet and playwright, as a founder of Dublin’s famed Abbey Theatre, his involvement with Irish nationalism, and his fascination with occultism and visions. This book is most compelling as Yeats’s own account of the growth of his poetic imagination. Yeats thought that a poet leads a life of allegory, and that his works are comments upon it. Autobiographies enacts his ruling belief in the connections and coherence between the life that he led and the works that he wrote. It is a vision of personal history as art, and so it is the one truly essential companion to his poems and plays. Edited by William H. O’Donnell and Douglas N. Archibald, this volume is available for the first time with invaluable explanatory notes and includes previously unpublished passages from candidly explicit first drafts.
