From a doting dad to determined humanitarian, Mark Collins has leveraged his challenges into philanthropic success. Founder of YOUschool, a learning organisation with the purpose of helping young people choose their best path in life, it is Mark's lived experiences that help him give children the best opportunities to enjoy happy, loving, and joyful lives through to adulthood. It is from his son, Max, that Mark draws inspiration. After being diagnosed with epilepsy at age five, Max has spent the last seven years in and out of hospitals - his dad by his side every step of the way. Mark has spent this time learning everything he can about his son's condition, raising money, and promoting awareness for epilepsy. It was his son's illness that spurred Mark to focus on his own health and wellbeing, recognising the direct effect and influence that the energy of others had on his son's symptoms. Mark began regularly practising meditation, yoga and eating natural foods with Max as a way of assisting him in his treatment. Max's seizure count went from sometimes over 50 per day to consistently zero with an energetic approach rather than a physical one. From neuro linguistic techniques and hypnosis to toxin removal and cranio-sacral adjustments, Mark and Max found their own way forward after being told that this was just how Max is, there is nothing other than the medication he takes. This book was written as the events in them played out over a two-year period. It is a blend of parenting advice, health and wellness techniques and a real life story of unconditional love and dedication between a father and son.

Lee Harvey Oswald was an American former Marine and Marxist who assassinated United States President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. According to four federal government investigations and one municipal investigation, Oswald shot and killed Kennedy from a sniper's nest as the President traveled by motorcade through Dealey Plaza in the city of Dallas, Texas. Oswald was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps and defected to the Soviet Union in October 1959. He lived in the Belarusian city of Minsk until June 1962, at which time he returned to the United States with his Russian wife Marina and eventually settled in Dallas. About 45 minutes after Oswald fatally shot Kennedy, he shot and killed Dallas police officer J. D. Tippit on a local street. Oswald then slipped into a movie theatre, where he was arrested for Tippit's murder. Oswald was later charged with the murder of Kennedy. He denied shooting anybody, saying that he was a "patsy". Two days later, Oswald was in the process of being transferred from the city jail to the county jail when he was fatally shot by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby in full view of television cameras broadcasting live. In September 1964, the Warren Commission released its findings and concluded that Oswald acted alone in assassinating Kennedy by firing three shots from the Texas School Book Depository. This conclusion was supported by previous investigations carried out by the FBI, the Secret Service, and the Dallas Police Department. Despite forensic, ballistic, and eyewitness evidence supporting the lone gunman theory, public opinion polls taken over the years have shown that most Americans believe that Oswald did not act alone, but conspired with others to kill the president. The assassination has spawned numerous conspiracy theories.
