Jeff Green

It's a good thing imagination is not required when the story being told is 100% true, because you just can't make this stuff up. Join Jeff as he once again steps into a world of unexpected chaos. Watch him from the time he unexpectantly retires, moves to a town four states away, and buys a house absolutely sight unseen. See how he quickly learns that real estate ads should come with the disclaimer, some assembly required. Walk with Jeff as he tries to understand the just how hard and easy it can be to give money away. From the original home purchase, to hiring the help (when available), each new situation presented a unique and unforeseen perspective. From broken doors, missing walls, and Confederate flags, each room in his new house added another unexpected challenge to his version of the money pit. Situations Jeff encountered along the way include: -Wife demanding when and where to retire - his input not required -How to compromise on where to live by letting her pick -Purchasing a house that others secretly want -Selling a home, that no one is totally happy with -Moving day with rocket scientists -Fitting in a rural Texas town, making friends (and enemies) -Endless project lists and home warranties -Learning to deal with heat, snakes, bugs, and more -Surprise twists and turns and happy endings? Each situation encountered on the surface appear to be totally normal but when Jeff gets done, you are left laughing, shaking your head, and wanting more.

All of us are interested in finding out more about ourselves and others. Our natural curiosity of the world applies to our role in it and how we respond to it. DISC is a behavioral model developed by Dr. William Marston in the 1920s intended to identify and categorize (even predict) how we respond to our environment and each other. The strength of the model rests not only in its ability to measure and categorize observable behaviors but also in its capacity to assist each of us to exercise more flexibility with a variety of people and situations. A key component of the book is the DISC 17(c) Self-Assessment, a simple 24-question instrument you can complete in a matter of minutes. The results of your assessment are easily determined, and narratives corresponding to your specific results are provided with fascinating and fun insights into how you perceive your environment and your role in it. Perception is an entertaining yet profound exploration into human connectivity leading to reduced tension and conflict, improved communications, and expanded influence and leadership.

Jeff Green has returned, once again, to share a few more of the stories that continue to make him the conversation piece at the end of the bar. You may remember some of his humorous antics from his other books: I Hear Ants and From the Decks of Tripoli. While the stories might appear to be typical of any growing family, Jeff's unique way of allowing his family and friends to be laughed at, provides a unique and fun perspective. In this book, he includes stories on: - Raising the instant family, (just add "I Do"); - Camping, (and we don't mean Marine-style); - Owning a boat, (or at least the expense of); - Working for a living, (in the days of the Millennial).The situations encountered on the surface appear to be totally normal, but when Jeff gets done with telling it, three things will be for sure.- You will be glad you are not in his shoes; - You will be sure to talk about it late; - You will be wishing there was more. Come to think of it, you may even relate with stories of your own, but don't start writing, Jeff doesn't need the competition.

This text therefore provides value to a wide audience, including those in entry level through supervisory and management level training programs. On many levels, Jeff Green's text is a major contribution to the policing profession.
