Wounded? Survive! Thrive!!!
?
?

Book Description

To support women across the globe, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to V-Day: Active in 81 countries, V-Day works to end violence against women and girls, and Harford Family House.

In a time when the world seems depressed economically and emotionally, it is easy to find people who are wounded, difficult to find people who are surviving, and sometimes it seems nearly impossible to tap into those who are truly thriving in their lives.

As women, we must pull together in a time like this to share our stories of triumph as a means to lift one another up, encourage each other, and spur each other on toward a time where we can all thrive together!

Each of us can think of a woman in our lives that—despite her trials and adversity—seemed to pick herself up, dust herself off, and pull herself together. She may not even know how much you looked up to her. Some of us had mothers or grandmothers, teachers or mentors, who paved the way for us—illustrating what a thriving woman should look like, no matter how she got there or what incredible hardships she may have faced.

Every woman faces abuse, sometimes of multiple types. Women are beaten, sexually assaulted, harassed, and held back every day due to no fault of their own. Abuse in the workplace is common in many fields. Divorce, health concerns, and accidents are becoming more prevalent every day. We are carrying a tremendous load, most of us while we are trying to balance home, family, marriage, children, friends, career…it is daunting and exhausting.

So, how do we survive, much less thrive?

This invaluable resource is a collection of history. Each woman who shares her testimony of trials, abuse, sexual assault, abandonment, betrayal, disappointment, or persecution will leave an imprint on your heart forever. These resilient women have lived through nightmares and not only survived, but found ways to THRIVE!

The powerful testimonies of unfathomable struggles, deep hurts, dark moments, pain, and loneliness will illuminate the picture of how grateful they are now. Their struggles made them stronger. Surviving through some of the most difficult of situations taught these brave women resilience, strength, and faith.

Wounded? Survive! THRIVE!!! is a priceless work that will encourage and inspire you to be triumphant over your own situation. Maybe you are experiencing workplace harassment, wading through a messy divorce, or are still struggling not to feel like the scared little girl who experienced sexual abuse decades ago. This is your time to stop suffering. Stop being a victim. Stop letting those who have hurt you have a grip over your life. Stop struggling to merely survive.

The lessons you will learn from these stories of women who overcame extreme adversity, took the power back over their own story, and became victorious will inspire you to do the same.

Journey with us from the place where you are wounded, learn to survive, and then joyously claim victory over your specific situation as you learn to grab hold of life again and really start living—THRIVE!

SELF-ESTEEM Walking Tall (LEAP SERIES)
?
?

Book Description

Positive self-esteem is the starting point of all achievements. If you are not able to believe in yourself, how can you expect other people to do so? Self-esteem is not what other people think you are - it is the way you think you are. It is built from birth and, contrary to what many people imagine, can be changed consciously or unconsciously at any stage of life. Positive self-image is very important, because all your actions depend on it. If it is high, your output increases in direct proportion. Positive self-esteem leads to confident actions and right decisions. Negative self-esteem leads to confident actions and right decisions. Negative self-esteem leads to lack of self-confidence, timidity and procrastination during decision-making. The real you is a unique being with enormous potential for experiencing and extending love, both toward yourself as well as to others. As you self-esteem grows, this real person emerges. You begin to take risks and not be afraid of failure; you are not as concerned about the approval of others; your relationships are more rewarding; you pursue activities that bring you joy and satisfaction; and you will make a positive contribution to the world. Most importantly, high self-esteem brings you peace of mind... you truly appreciate the person you are. Every person has the capacity for high self-esteem. The question is, are you ready to make a commitment to increasing your self-esteem? You must have the spirit to accept yourself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world - making the most of yourself.

Book Description

December 28, 2012 Self-esteem is essential for psychological survival. It is an emotional sine qua non - without some measure of self-worth, life can be enormously painful, with many basic needs going unmet. One of the main factors differentiating humans from other animals is the awareness of self: the ability to form an identity and then attach a value to it. In other words, you have the capacity to define who you are and then decide if you like that identity or not. The problem of self-esteem is this human capacity for judgment. It's one thing to dislike certain colors, noises, shapes, or sensations. But when you reject parts of yourself, you greatly damage the psychological structures that literally keep you alive. Judging and rejecting yourself causes enormous pain. And in the same way that you would favor and protect a physical wound, you find yourself avoiding anything that might aggravate the pain of self-rejection in any way. You take fewer social, academic, or career risks. You make it more difficult for yourself to meet people, interview for a job, or push hard for something where you might not succeed. You limit your ability to open yourself with others, express your sexuality, be the center of attention, hear criticism, ask for help, or solve problems. This book is about stopping the judgments. It's about healing the old wounds of hurt and self-rejection. How you perceive and feel about yourself can change. And when those perceptions and feelings change, the ripple effect will touch every part of your life with a gradually expanding sense of freedom.

Book Description

A very different way of looking at healing sex addicts, victims and innocent family members impacted by the shame of sexual addiction. Recognizing how people hypnotize themselves into problems this approach gently allows perpetrator, victim and innocent bystander to make new choices and live beyond the cycle of addiction. Lentz views self trance as either positive or negative and uses the distinctions to give people new perspectives to make real and lasting change. Some have said why aren't we all looking at addictions like this because it is a more compassionate and easily developed approach.

Step Up Step Out: Share Your Gifts and Be an Agent for Change

Book Description

If you knew you had only four years to live, what would you do with the precious time you had left? Would you remain angry or would you forgive all those who have wronged you? Would you apologize to anyone you may have harmed? Would you travel to the exotic place you've always dreamed of? What is your purpose in life and have you fulfilled that purpose? Have you shared your gifts with the world? What are your gifts? Have you trusted yourself, reached out, acted boldly, switched the switch, and stepped out into your dreams? What are your dreams? Would four years be enough time to live into those dreams?

Are you an individual who is on a path to realizing your purpose in life and your gifts to the world?

Are you wondering what is stopping you from stepping into who you know yourself to be?

Do you want to know your life has meaning and made a difference when you leave this world?

Through her journey traveling around the world for four years, Carolyn became clear about who is and what she came here to do in this lifetime. However, before this clarity arose in her, she had to peel the layers off her past history of child abuse to get to the core of what her gifts to humanity are.

Here's What People Are Saying…

"Given the dedication, effectiveness, and leadership role Carolyn has taken in her stand for an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, and socially just human presence, I feel certain that Carolyn's book and documentation of her journey will be a great contribution to the world we all dream of."
—Lynne Twist, founder and president, Soul of Money Institute, cofounder, The Pachamama Alliance

"Hart's insights about re-patterning life, emerging from her inner and outer journey across time and space, offer wisdom and hope for all who are stepping out as agents of change for conscious evolution."
—Barbara Marx Hubbard, visionary; social innovator; educator; cofounder and chairperson of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution; author, Birth 2012 and Beyond: Humanity's Great Shift to the Age of Conscious Evolution

"Step Up, Step Out is a heartwarming book that highlights why doing your personal growth work is essential at this critical time in history. Carolyn Rose Hart takes you on a journey of healing and shows you how, collectively, we really can make a difference for the future of humanity."
—Christine Kloser, publisher, Pebbles in the Pond: Transforming the World One Person at a Time

Book Description

A light in the darkness for severely troubled children, former special education teacher Torey Hayden faced three of her most extraordinary challenges after she left the classroom



Nine-year-old Cassandra, kidnapped by her father and found starving, dirty, and picking through garbage cans -- a child prone to long silences and erratic, violent behavior, whose hard-won recollections of the nightmare she endured could not be fully trusted.



Charming, charismatic four-year-old Drake, who would speak only in private to his mother -- his tough, unbending grandfather's demands for an immediate cure threatened to cause the delightful boy and his family irreparable harm.



And though she had never worked with adults, Hayden agreed to help fearful and silent eighty-two-year-old massive stroke victim Gerda -- discovering in the process that a treatment's successes could prove nearly as heartbreaking as its limitations.

Popular physics books give readers a taste of what physicists know, but shy away from teaching the skills required to do the work. By contrast, Susskind and Hrabovsky cover the minimum--the theoretical minimum of the title--that readers need to study more advanced topics. Beginning with classical mechanics, the work ends with discussions of electromagnetic fields and chaos theory. An alternative to the go-to-college method, The Theoretical Minimum offers a tool kit for amateur scientists to learn physics at their own pace.?

The Limits of Inference without Theory (Tjalling C. Koopmans Memorial Lectures)
??

Book Description

May 3, 2013 Tjalling C. Koopmans Memorial Lectures

In this rigorous and well-crafted work, Kenneth Wolpin examines the role of theory in inferential empirical work in economics and the social sciences in general -- that is, any research that uses raw data to go beyond the mere statement of fact or the tabulation of statistics. He considers in particular the limits that eschewing the use of theory places on inference. Wolpin finds that the absence of theory in inferential work that addresses microeconomic issues is pervasive. That theory is unnecessary for inference is exemplified by the expression "let the data speak for themselves." This approach is often called "reduced form." A more nuanced view is based on the use of experiments or quasi-experiments to draw inferences. Atheoretical approaches stand in contrast to what is known as the structuralist approach, which requires that a researcher specify an explicit model of economic behavior -- that is, a theory. Wolpin offers a rigorous examination of both structuralist and nonstructuralist approaches. He first considers ex ante policy evaluation, highlighting the role of theory in the implementation of parametric and nonparametric estimation strategies. He illustrates these strategies with two examples, a wage tax and a school attendance subsidy, and summarizes the results from applications. He then presents a number of examples that illustrate the limits of inference without theory: the effect of unemployment benefits on unemployment duration; the effect of public welfare on women's labor market and demographic outcomes; the effect of school attainment on earnings; and a famous field experiment in education dealing with class size. Placing each example within the context of the broader literature, he contrasts them to recent work that relies on theory for inference.

Why Does the World Exist?: An Existential Detective Story
?

Book Description

April 8, 2013

"I can imagine few more enjoyable ways of thinking than to read this book."—Sarah Bakewell, New York Times Book Review, front-page review

Tackling the "darkest question in all of philosophy" with "raffish erudition" (Dwight Garner, New York Times), author Jim Holt explores the greatest metaphysical mystery of all: why is there something rather than nothing? This runaway bestseller, which has captured the imagination of critics and the public alike, traces our latest efforts to grasp the origins of the universe. Holt adopts the role of cosmological detective, traveling the globe to interview a host of celebrated scientists, philosophers, and writers, "testing the contentions of one against the theories of the other" (Jeremy Bernstein, Wall Street Journal). As he interrogates his list of ontological culprits, the brilliant yet slyly humorous Holt contends that we might have been too narrow in limiting our suspects to God versus the Big Bang. This "deft and consuming" (David Ulin, Los Angeles Times) narrative humanizes the profound questions of meaning and existence it confronts.

Book Description

June 1, 2013

Reveals for the first time the true extent of how chemistry rather than military strategy determined the shape, duration, and outcome of World War?I

Chemistry was not only a destructive instrument of World War I, but also protected troops and healed the sick and wounded. From bombs to bullets, gas to anesthetic, khaki to camouflage, chemistry was truly the alchemy of the war. This history explores its dangers and its healing potential, revealing how the arms race was also a race for chemistry, to the extent that Germany's thirst for fertilizer to feed the creation of their shells nearly starved the nation.?It answers question such as: What is cordite? What is lyddite? What is mustard gas? What is phosgene? What is gunmetal? This is a true picture of the horrors of the "Chemists' War."

Book Description

In a city full of vampires, trouble never sleeps.

At the tender age of twenty-seven, Merit became a sword-wielding vampire. Since then, she's become the protector of her House, watched Chicago nearly burn to the ground, and seen her Master fall and rise. Now she'll see her mettle—and her metal—tested like never before.

It started with two . . . Two rogues vanishing without a trace. Someone is targeting Chicago's vampires, and anyone could be next. With their house in peril, Merit and her Master, the centuries-old Ethan Sullivan, must race to stop the disappearances. But as they untangle a web of secret alliances and ancient evils, they realize their foe is more familiar, and more powerful, than they could have ever imagined.
