Olá, o meu nome é Matthew, mas talvez me conheçam por outro nome. Os meus amigos chamam-me Matty. E eu devia estar morto. É assim que começa a fascinante história do famoso ator Matthew Perry, que nos acompanha na sua viagem desde a ambição de infância até à fama, passando pelo vício e pela recuperação após um problema de saúde que pôs em risco a sua vida. Antes das suas frequentes idas ao hospital e das passagens pela reabilitação, existia Matthew, de cinco anos, que viajava de Montreal para Los Angeles, alternando entre os seus pais divorciados; Matthew, de catorze anos, que era uma estrela do ténis no ranking nacional do Canadá; Matthew, de vinte e quatro anos, que conseguiu um cobiçado papel como membro do elenco principal no conhecido episódio-piloto, então chamado Friends Like Us...e muito mais. Friends, Amantes e Aquela Coisa Terrível é um livro de memórias inesquecível, simultaneamente íntimo e revelador – bem como uma mão estendida a qualquer pessoa que esteja a lutar pela sobriedade. Incrivelmente honesto, comovente e também divertido, este é o livro com uma poderosa mensagem de esperança e persistência que Matthew Perry publicou no ano anterior à sua morte.

“Nimeni on Matthew, vaikka sinä saatat tuntea minut toisella nimellä.” Frendit-sarjasta tuttu näyttelijä vie lukijat supersuositun komediasarjan kulissien taakse ja muistelee koskettavasti kamppailuaan päihderiippuvuuden kanssa. Avioerolapsi Matthew matkusti viisivuotiaana vuoroin Montrealin ja Los Angelesin väliä tavatakseen vanhempiaan, 14-vuotiaana hän oli menestynyt tennistähti Kanadassa ja 24-vuotiaana hän nappasi himoitun pääosaroolin Frendit-televisiosarjan Chandlerina. Tähteys tuntui tuovan hänelle kaiken mitä toivoa saattoi, mutta Matthew kertoo sisällään olleesta tyhjyydestä, joka ei täyttynyt edes suurimpien unelmien toteutuessa. Lämpimästi ja huumorilla kirjoitettu muistelmateos kertoo menetetyistä rakkauksista, synkimmistä päivistä ja uskollisimmista ystävistä. Matthew Perry (1969-2023) oli kanadalais-amerikkalainen näyttelijä ja käsikirjoittaja, joka tunnettiin Chandler Bingin roolista komediasarjassa Frendit.

O amado astro de Friends nos conduz aos bastidores dessa série de sucesso e narra a luta que enfrentou contra o vício neste sincero livro de memórias. Divertido e revelador, Amigos, amores e aquela coisa terrível traz uma poderosa mensagem de esperança e resiliência. Prefácio de Lisa Kudrow. "Oi, meu nome é Matthew, embora talvez você me conheça por outro nome. Meus amigos me chamam de Matty. E eu devia estar morto." Assim começa a fascinante narrativa do aclamado ator Matthew Perry, que nos guia pelas intensas e sensíveis memórias de sua trajetória, desde a ambição de infância em alcançar a fama à luta contra o vício e à sua recuperação após um susto ocasionado por um problema de saúde que pôs em risco sua vida. Antes das frequentes visitas ao hospital e passagens por centros de reabilitação, havia o pequeno Matthew de 5 anos, que viajou de Montreal a Los Angeles, se dividindo entre pais divorciados; o adolescente de 14 anos, uma estrela do tênis canadense em nível nacional; o jovem de 24 anos, que conquistou o cobiçado papel como um dos protagonistas do piloto da tão comentada e até então intitulada série Friends Like Us... e muito mais. Em uma narrativa impactante — relatada de uma maneira sincera, hilariante e calorosa que apenas ele seria capaz de fazer —, Matthew Perry conta sobre a família fragmentada que o criou (e que também o deixou por conta própria), o desejo por reconhecimento que o conduziu à fama e a constante sensação de vazio, que não seria preenchido nem mesmo ao ver seus maiores sonhos se tornarem realidade. Matthew apresenta também detalhes sobre a paz encontrada na sobriedade e como se sente a respeito da onipresença da série Friends, compartilhando histórias sobre colegas de elenco e outras celebridades que conheceu pelo caminho. Franco, autoconsciente e munido do seu humor característico, Perry retrata com vivacidade a batalha travada ao longa da vida contra o vício e o que o levava a essa escolha, apesar de ter conquistado tantas coisas — tudo com que aparentemente alguém poderia sonhar. Amigos, amores e aquela coisa terrível, é um livro de memórias inesquecível, ao mesmo tempo íntimo e elucidador — além de um conforto para aqueles que estão lutando para manter a sobriedade. Dolorosamente sincero, comovente e, ainda assim, incrivelmente engraçado, este é o livro pelo qual os fãs estavam esperando.

L''estimada estrella de Friends ens ofereix un llibre sincer, divertit i revelador. Matthew Perry, l''estimada estrella de Friends, ens passeja entre els bastidors de la famosa sèrie i ens explica les seves lluites contra l''addicció en aquestes memòries sinceres, divertides i reveladores que ofereixen un missatge potent d''esperança i persistència. «Hola, em dic Matthew, tot i que segurament em coneixeu per un altre nom. Els meus amics em diuen Matty. I hauria d''estar mort». Així comença la fascinant història de l''aclamat actor, que ens porta en el seu viatge des que era petit fins que va assolir la fama però va caure en l''addicció i com, finalment, se n''ha recuperat després d''un ensurt que gairebé el porta a la mort. En aquest llibre trobem la història del Matthew d''abans de les entrades i sortides dels hospitals i els centres de rehabilitació, coneixerem el nen de cinc anys que vivia entre Montreal i Los Angeles, de casa en casa dels seus pares separats; el Matthew de catorze anys que era una estrella del tennis classificada a escala nacional al Canadà; el Matthew de vint-i-quatre anys que va aconseguir un paper com a membre principal del repartiment en el programa pilot que en aquell moment es titulava Friends Like Us... i molt més. En una història extraordinària que només ell podia explicar —amb el seu personal estil sincer, hilarant i càlidament familiar—, en Matthew Perry posa al descobert la família fracturada que el va criar (i també abandonar), el desig de reconeixement que el va portar a la fama i el buit dins seu que no es podia omplir ni tan sols amb els seus somnis més grans fets realitat. Però també ens transmet la pau que ha trobat en la sobrietat i com se sent sobre la intensitat de Friends, compartint històries sobre els seus companys de repartiment i altres estrelles que va conèixer al llarg del camí. Franc, conscient de si mateix i amb el seu humor característic, Perry explica de manera clara la batalla amb què ha bregat tota la vida contra l''addicció i quins factors la van alimentar quan semblava que ho tenia tot. Amics, amants i allò tan terrible són unes memòries inoblidables, íntimes i alhora reveladores, així com una mà estesa a qualsevol persona que lluiti contra l''addicció. Sincerament honest, commovedor i molt divertit, aquest és el llibre que els fans de la sèrie esperaven. «Es necessita molt de coratge per escriure unes memòries tan crues i explícites. I ha resultat que en Matthew Perry en té molt, de coratge. Agafa el lector de la mà i el submergeix en la seva addicció, en la malaltia i en la soledat paralitzadora que ha patit. D''alguna manera, en Matthew, al llarg de la seva vida, ha aconseguit transformar tot aquest dolor en comicitat i alegria cap als altres, però, com molt bé ens explica, n''ha pagat un preu. En Matthew ens porta fins al seu infern però no s''hi recrea. En realitat aquest llibre està farcit d''esperança pel futur. Si vols saber qui és en Matthew Perry, llegeix aquest llibre». Marta Kauffman, cocreadora de la sitcom de l''NBC Friends L''estimada estrella de Friends ens ofereix un llibre sincer, divertit i revelador.

" Salut, je m''appelle Matthew, mais vous me connaissez peut-être sous un autre nom. Mes amis m''appellent Matty. Et je devrais être mort. " Ainsi commence la captivante histoire de l''inoubliable Chandler de Friends qui, au fil de ses souvenirs, évoque ses ambitions de jeunesse et son rapport à la célébrité, ses addictions et la guérison après un grave problème de santé qui lui fit frôler la mort. Mais avant les cures de désintoxication et les séjours à l''hôpital, il y a le Matthew de 5 ans qui voyagea de Montréal à Los Angeles, ballotté entre des parents séparés ; celui de 14 ans, star du tennis au Canada ; celui de 24 ans qui décrocha le rôle le plus convoité des États-Unis pour le pilote d''une série appelée à l''époque Friends Like Us... Dans cet incroyable récit que lui seul pouvait raconter, Matthew Perry se met à nu et dévoile la famille brisée dans laquelle il a grandi (et qui l''a laissé livré à lui-même), la soif de reconnaissance qui l''a mené à la célébrité et le vide en lui que rien n''a su combler, pas même la réalisation de ses plus grands rêves. Il revient également sur la paix que lui procure aujourd''hui la sobriété et ce qu''il ressent face à l''omniprésence de Friends, nous livrant des anecdotes sur ses camarades de tournage et d''autres stars croisées sur la route. Avec l''humour et l''honnêteté qu''on lui connaît, Matthew Perry dépeint le combat de toute une vie contre la dépendance et ce qui l''a engendrée, lui qui semblait tout avoir. Des mémoires inoubliables à la fois intimes et édifiants, et une main tendue vers ceux qui luttent contre l''addiction. D''une honnêteté sans faille, émouvant et irrésistiblement drôle, voici le livre que les fans du monde entier attendaient.

Niezachwianie szczera, poruszająca i zabawna. To jest książka, na którą wszyscy czekali! Matthew Perry, gwiazda serialu „Przyjaciele”, przenosi czytelników na scenę najbardziej znanego sitcomu wszechczasów, jednocześnie opowiadając o swoich prywatnych zmaganiach z uzależnieniem. Z typowymi dla siebie poczuciem humoru i szczerością szczegółowo opisuje trwającą całe życie walkę z chorobą i to, co ją napędzało, pomimo posiadania „wszystkiego”. „Przyjaciele, kochankowie i ta wielka, straszna rzecz” to autobiografia zawierająca najbardziej intymne szczegóły dotyczące utraconej miłości Perry’ego, jego najciemniejszych dni i najlepszych przyjaciół. „Jeśli chcesz się dowiedzieć, kim naprawdę jest Matthew Perry, nie czytaj brukowców – sięgnij po tę książkę” Marta Kauffman, współtwórczyni serialu NBC „Przyjaciele”

L’amatissima star di Friends ci porta nel dietro le quinte della sitcom e ci racconta la sua odissea con la dipendenza in questo memoir brutalmente sincero, comico e illuminante: una mano tesa a chiunque stia lottando per la sobrietà. “Salve, il mio nome è Matthew, anche se potreste conoscermi con un altro nome. I miei amici mi chiamano Matty. E dovrei essere morto.” Inizia così l’avvincente storia dell’acclamato attore Matthew Perry, che ci accompagna in un viaggio che va dalla sua infanzia, segnata dal desiderio di emergere, al raggiungimento della fama e poi alla dipendenza e al recupero, dopo essere stato in fin di vita. Prima delle frequenti visite in ospedale e dei periodi di disintossicazione, c’è stato un Matthew di cinque anni, che viaggiava da Montreal a Los Angeles dividendosi tra i genitori separati; un Matthew di quattordici anni, stella del tennis canadese; un altro Matthew ancora, che a ventiquattro anni ha ottenuto l’ambitissimo ruolo da co-protagonista nel cast della serie più attesa del momento, allora chiamata Friends like us (divenuta poi famosa in tutto il mondo col titolo di Friends)... e molti altri ancora. Nelle pieghe di una storia straordinaria che solo lui poteva scrivere – e con la voce appassionata, esilarante e calorosamente familiare che lo caratterizza –, Matthew Perry racconta senza reticenze la famiglia che lo ha cresciuto (e che lo ha anche lasciato a se stesso), il desiderio di riconoscimento che lo ha spinto verso la fama e il vuoto interiore, che non poteva essere colmato nemmeno dalla realizzazione dei suoi sogni più grandi. Ma racconta anche la pace che ha trovato nella sobrietà, e come ha vissuto l’immenso successo di Friends, condividendo aneddoti sui suoi compagni di cast e sulle altre star che ha incontrato lungo il cammino. Schietto, consapevole e venato dall’umorismo che abbiamo imparato a conoscere, Perry descrive in modo vivido la sua battaglia contro la dipendenza da alcol e droghe e il motivo per cui, nonostante avesse apparantemente tutto,, nulla riusciva a renderlo felice. Friends, amanti e la Cosa Terribile è un memoir indimenticabile, intimo e illuminante, che offre una mano tesa a chiunque stia lottando per la sobrietà. Brutalmente sincero, divertente e a tratti tragico: questo è il libro che i fan di tutto il mondo stavano aspettando.

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER The BELOVED STAR OF FRIENDS takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this “CANDID, DARKLY FUNNY...POIGNANT” memoir (The New York Times) A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK by Time, Associated Press, Goodreads, USA Today, and more! “Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty.” So begins the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, taking us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare. Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who traveled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us. . . and so much more. In an extraordinary story that only he could tell—and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it—Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he’s found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humor, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fueled it despite seemingly having it all. Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening—as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety. Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny, this is the book fans have been waiting for.

General orders and circulars issued by Commodore Matthew Perry to the commanders of the U.S. Navy ships MACEDONIAN, PREBLE, and PORPOISE. The "African Squadron" was sent to patrol the west coast of Africa and nearby islands to help suppress the slave trade in 1843.

The combat robot team created "Troublemaker", a drum spinner combat robot that could compete in the 15 lb hobby weight class for the Seattle Bot Battles competition. To create a combat robot under 15 lbs that could withstand impacts, have immediate response times, and damage other combat robot required significant research and testing to optimize every component of the combat robot. The drum spinner weapon was determined to be the best at both damaging and throwing another bot across the arena. With a traditional armor design, we could withstand the highest probable impact with no concerning damage to our frame and armor. A speed controller in coalition with a LiPo battery pack and an off the shelf RC control system allowed us to control weapon activation, and the movements of our combat robot accurately and swiftly.

Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan

From the Author I love history, and I have spent my entire adult life teaching kids about our past. Throughout my time in the classroom, I have accumulated a bevy of weird and wacky stories for my students. Most people grow up hating history because they weren''t told about the good stuff, they just read their textbook and drooling in a stupor. I have made it my goal to end the era of sleeping in history class, and this book is the culmination of that work. Check out these and other great tales at www.theoddpast.com

Integrated primary care (IPC), the integration of medical and behavioral health professionals, is a viable part of the solution for the United States'' fragmented health care delivery system. Over the past decade or so, efforts have been made to examine the theory behind and effectiveness of this health care framework. As researchers and program developers continue to examine the impact of IPC on patient populations, it is becoming increasingly important to highlight the study design and program characteristic trends of IPC to ascertain the next steps in research development. This researcher sought to identify those trends by using a systematic review design to examine studies of IPC. Of the two systematic reviews conducted for this dissertation, the first review includes information from 112 articles regarding study design, sampling procedure, patient population characteristics, treatment outcome, geographical setting, and psychosocial measurement. The findings of this review indicate that a majority of researchers examined depression outcomes using experimental designs and that the average participant in such studies was a Caucasian female in her early 50s. Moreover, the researcher found that almost none of the IPC programs were oriented towards family systems. For the second systematic review, the researcher extracted data from 76 of the 112 articles to examine the characteristics of each IPC program including communication practices, models, interventions, provider type, training and supervision practices, and setting. Findings from this review show that most IPC programs include psychoeducation, medication, follow-up contacts, psychotherapy, and at least one care management strategy as part of treatment but that less than half of researchers are reporting communication between providers and even fewer are reporting collaboration practices. Moreover, the findings indicate that a third of researchers trained and/or supervised behavioral health providers to work in an IPC program, and a fourth recruited nurses as behavioral health providers. Suggestions for future research include more diverse research methods and patient populations as well as a focus on increasing communication and collaboration between providers.
