WISE, WITTY, AND RELENTLESSLY REAL STRAIGHT TALK FROM A RECOVERING ADDICT As Billy Manas can attest, getting sober is easy compared to living sober. But if he can do it, so can you, and he’s going to help you with nuts-and bolts suggestions for finding financial, personal, and emotional well-being to live your own version of a kickass life. Billy’s techniques for getting there are simple yet profound — tackling manageable goals, finding inspiration (in whatever way works for you), asking for help (even when you don’t want to), practicing gratitude and meditation (even if you think they’re silly), and steering clear of people who rain on your parade. Straightforward and doable, these strategies build confidence and build on each other until recovery means not just living but living better than ever.

Avete mai voluto essere un supereroe? Dave Lizewski non si è limitato a sognarlo a occhi aperti. Dopo essersi fatto un costume e scelto il nome “Kick-Ass”, ha deciso di rendere la sua monotona vita più interessante e di provare ad aiutare qualcuno. Ma senza alcun superpotere e circondato dai criminali più violenti di New York, potrebbe aver fatto male i suoi conti. Mentre la sua identità segreta guadagna popolarità grazie a un video su YouTube, imparerà a caro prezzo che la sua attività notturna è pericolosa e stupida, ma non potrà fare a meno di continuare a indossare la maschera. Così nascono delle rivalità e delle alleanze impreviste, mentre la mafia comincia a mettersi sulle sue tracce. Le superstar dei comics USA Mark Millar (Wanted, Ultimates) e John Romita Jr. (Spider-Man, Wolverine) realizzano uno dei tour de force più adrenalinici mai apparsi su un fumetto di supereroi e che è ora diventato un film diretto da Matthew Vaughn con Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz e Nicolas Cage!
