All for a Few Perfect Waves: The Audacious Life and… di David Rensin

Takes a little bit to get into... sort of starts with his legacy, before getting into his story more. Fascinating guy. There's a little bit of MP in this (not quite as good a book).

Don't Give Up, Don't Give in: Lessons from an… di Louis Zamperini

I read Unbroken so I was interested in learning more about Louis Zamperini. It was an interesting story but not as thrilling as Unbroken.

Don't Give Up, Don't Give In: Lessons from an… di Louis Zamperini

Sometimes, extraordinary tales are also true. Louis Zamperini was a living, breathing example of resilience and determination to never give up. Beyond survival, Zamperini’s life demonstrates imperfection and acceptance, handling circumstances beyond our control, finding purpose, admitting fault and taking responsibility. In addition to US and World History, this historical figure brings meaning and depth to writing autobiographies, character education, leadership, service, and so much more.

The publisher’s website offers educator resources for teachers and librarians (https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062368331/dont-give-up-dont-give-in), but the links seem to take you on a wild goose chase so finding anything useful was nearly impossible. I found the greatest variety of links to lesson plans and instructional ideas on Pinterest (https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=lesson%20plans%20Louis%20Zamperini&rs=typed&0=lesson|typed&1=plans|typed&2=Louis|typed&3=Zamperini|typed).

Some unexpected finds included quotes on goodreads.com (https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/41449346-don-t-give-up-don-t-give-in-lessons-from-an-extraordinary-life), 4 Lessons in Manliness (https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/41449346-don-t-give-up-don-t-give-in-lessons-from-an-extraordinary-life), digital storytelling (https://www.awesomestories.com/asset/view/Louis-Zamperini-Life-Story), a leadership blog (https://prepforum.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/4-lessons-from-the-life-of-louis-zamperini/), and one of many documentaries, The Great Zamperini is a CBS Sports special produced during the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Japan (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEGL-wyz1yk).… (altro)

Don't Give Up, Don't Give In: Lessons from an… di Louis Zamperini

This book is full of "proverbs", each accompanied with a short story from Louis Zamperini's life. I got to know him just a little more, a little better than I had previously, from reading "Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption". A sweet, fun, and interesting little book.
