A Journey Through Olympic Dreams, Global Travels, and Lifelong Activism Comes to Life in Powerful New Book

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, August 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Dr. Phil Shinnick, American Olympian, social psychologist, healer, and global peace advocate, unveils a remarkable memoir, Beating the Odd: Stories of Truth and Justice. This gripping collection of true-life stories traces Shinnick’s path from long jump champion to global citizen, capturing decades of triumphs, trials, and a relentless pursuit of fairness.

In Beating the Odd, Shinnick shares compelling accounts of his Olympic experience, including the long-delayed recognition of his 1963 long jump mark of 8.33 meters, ultimately declared a world record in 2021 after nearly six decades of bureaucratic resistance. But the book is more than just an athletic memoir. it is a spiritual and philosophical journey into the mind of a man who never stopped fighting for truth.

A former University of Washington track standout and a 1964 Team USA Olympian, Shinnick later earned his Ph.D. in social psychology from UC Berkeley. His life after athletics is no less extraordinary: he practiced acupuncture and Chinese medicine in New York City, founded Athletes United for Peace, and served as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Sport and Peace. Throughout his life, he remained a vocal participant in social justice, environmental activism, and anti-war movements.

“Writing is how I clear my mind,” says Shinnick. “These stories formed in my head, and the only way to release them was to write them. It’s not just about me, it’s about what we all observe, experience, and can overcome.”

Shinnick invites readers from the U.S., the UK, and beyond to reflect on their own paths, question authority, and pursue truth even when the odds are stacked against them.

Beating the Odd is not just a memoir, it’s a manifesto of the human spirit, a tribute to integrity, and a call to action for those who believe that justice, in any field, must be earned and defended.

Finanse

K. Gawkowski: Polska w cyfrowej transformacji gospodarki awansowała do pierwszej ligi w Europie. 2,8 mld zł z KPO jeszcze ten proces przyspieszy

Uruchomiony na początku lipca przez Ministerstwo Cyfryzacji i BGK program „KPO: Pożyczka na cyfryzację” cieszy się dużym zainteresowaniem. Samorządy, uczelnie oraz firmy mogą wnioskować o wsparcie finansowe dla inwestycji w transformację cyfrową, m.in. modernizację infrastruktury czy cyberbezpieczeństwo. W sumie na ten cel trafi 2,8 mld zł (650 mln euro). Ze względu na krótki czas naboru obie instytucje organizują w poszczególnych województwach warsztaty dla wnioskodawców, które mają rozwiać ich wątpliwości przy przygotowywaniu wniosków.

Prawo

Koszty certyfikacji wyrobów medycznych sięgają milionów euro. Pacjenci mogą stracić dostęp do wyrobów ratujących życie

Od 2027 roku wszystkie firmy produkujące wyroby medyczne w Unii Europejskiej będą musiały posiadać certyfikat zgodności z rozporządzeniem MDR (Medical Devices Regulation). Nowe przepisy wprowadzają dużo ostrzejsze wymagania w zakresie dokumentacji, badań klinicznych oraz procedur certyfikacyjnych. Branża ostrzega, że część małych i średnich producentów nie zdąży się dostosować. Problemem jest także wysoki koszt i długi czas uzyskiwania certyfikatów. W konsekwencji z rynku mogą zniknąć urządzenia ratujące życie.

Infrastruktura

Nowe przepisy o ochronie ludności cywilnej wprowadzają obowiązkowe elastyczne zbiorniki na wodę. Mają one służyć w razie suszy, pożarów czy wybuchu wojny

Samorządy będą musiały posiadać m.in. elastyczne zbiorniki na wodę pitną i przenośne magazyny wody przeciwpożarowej. To element odpowiedniego przygotowania zasobów na wypadek sytuacji kryzysowych, kataklizmów czy wybuchu konfliktu, wprowadzony nowymi przepisami o ochronie ludności. Eksperci podkreślają, że tego typu rozwiązania to innowacyjne produkty, które nie tylko ułatwiają logistykę w sytuacjach kryzysowych, ale także mogą znacząco skrócić czas reakcji służb ratunkowych.
