The Test Drive deals with the war perpetrated by highly determined reactionary forces on science and research. How does the government at once promote and prohibit scientific testing and undercut the importance of experimentation? To what extent is testing at the forefront of theoretical and practical concerns today? Addressed to those who are left stranded by speculative thinking and unhinged by cognitive discourse, The Test Drive points to a toxic residue of uninterrogated questions raised by Nietzsche, Husserl and Derrida. Ranging from the scientific probe to modalities of testing that include the limits of friendship or love, this work explores the crucial operations of an uncontestable legitimating machine. Avital Ronell offers a tour-de-force reading of legal, pharmaceutical, artistic, scientific, Zen, and historical grids that depend upon different types of testability, involving among other issues what it means to put oneself to the test.

A double shot of devastating news turns Justin Evanson's life upside down. When he learns his father has cancer, and he has siblings he never knew existed, he leaves everything behind and moves to Virginia to support his dad as he tries to make amends with his family-a family Justin's not sure he has a place in. Things go from bad to worse when he discovers his recent hookup is his newfound sister's brother-in-law. Drew Sinclair never expected to see Justin after their night at the club or to discover their family connection. If anyone found out, it would give Drew's brother another reason to hate him. But there's something about Justin that draws him in, and it's not only because they burn up the sheets together. One meeting leads to another, and before Justin realizes it, Drew has become the only thing in his world he feels is his. And for the first time in his life, Drew knows what it means to be needed. Being there for Justin and supporting him when things spiral out of control feels right. But with so much happening so quickly, it's hard to trust their feelings. Is this thing between them real? Or just a test drive before life forces them down two separate roads?

JOURNAL PROMPTS, EXAMPLES AND ACTION STEPS SO YOU CAN TEST DRIVE YOUR DREAM NOW, NOT SOMEDAYLet's face it, there are a lot of things you want to do in your life, you're just not doing most of them. Most are just dreams or desires that you've put on the backburner for someday. But the problem with putting things off is you could spend your entire life dreaming of something that you really don't want when all is said and done. For example, Test Drive Your Dreams author, Jennifer Blanchard, dreamed of starting a handmade jewelry business for years, but when she finally did it, she discovered she didn't enjoy it, so she gave it up, not long after she started. By test-driving the dream, she was able to get clear that handmaking jewelry wasn't a good fit for her, and that freed her up to do something else that was.When it comes to test driving your dreams, there are really two main options you can go with: Option 1: Do things the way society says you should do themThis is the option most people choose, often subconsciously. They've just been programmed for so long that this is the right path they don't question it, even when they should. Society says if you want something you must: -Figure out how you'll do it-Map out every step along the way-Work hard for it-Sacrifice-Toil away for years-Earn itThese are the beliefs that most people hold about going after their dreams, and that's also why a lot of people put their dreams off for "someday" or don't ever go after them at all. You've been convinced and/or somehow convinced yourself that getting what you want equals having to do things you don't want to do. And so it's easier to hide out, play small or put your dreams and desires off for later. But there's another option.There's another way to approach living your dreams and desires, and it doesn't have to look like hard work, sacrifice, toiling away or earning anything. Option 2: Do things the Test Drive Your Dreams way This is the road less traveled, simply because most people don't understand it and it's not common, but it's always been available to you, and it can be yours the moment you choose for it to be. In this new realm, if you want something you must: -Know that the How is never up to you-Trust that if you take the first step you can think of, the next step will show itself to you -Take aligned actions (aka actions that feel good to you)-Be clear on your values and standards so you live by them in all areas-Co-create with the Universe -Believe that you always have been and always will be worthy of your dreams and desiresLooks a little different than Option 1, huh? This is the more empowering, intentional way to live your dreams. It takes bravery to step outside of the societal box and do something different, but it's worth everything you get on the other side. Freedom. Fun. Certainty. Knowing. Clarity. Connection. Synchronicity. Ease. Flow. Satisfaction. Receiving.It can all be yours when you buy your copy of "Test Drive Your Dreams" and begin giving your dreams a test drive.
