    Are you truly taking care of yourself? Or are you too busy taking care of everyone else?So many of us find it easier to love other people than to love ourselves. We struggle to put our own needs first and have a hard time asking for what we want, let alone going after it. Instead, we attach ourselves to selfish people, trying over and over to win love from those who simply can’t offer it.If that sounds familiar, you may be the victim of narcissistic abuse. In A Cult of One, Richard Grannon exposes the insidious effects of narcissistic abuse and shares his own winding road to recognition and recovery. Through martial arts, mysticism, psychedelics, and psychology, spanning over four continents and forty-four years of life, Grannon discovered a systematic discipline for healing. Join him as he explains step by step—with courage, humor, and optimism—how to forge your own path to a better life.

    Silverbourne: The George Files:...

    George arrives in New York with a suitcase, a British accent, and the uneasy confidence of someone who believes reinvention should feel steadier than this. 
    Act I traces his first days in Manhattan: Bowery apartments, Equinox workouts, subway lines learned too quickly, and a series of encounters that blur the line between intimacy and distraction. Through hookups, half-dates, and carefully misjudged connections, George begins to understand that desire can anchor you just as easily as it can unmoor you. 
    Moving between Williamsburg and NoLita, bars and bedrooms, corporate offices and quiet moments alone, he navigates sex, ambition, and loneliness with dry humour and an observant eye. Conversations about work, masculinity, class, and belonging unfold alongside physical intimacy that is neither sensationalised nor apologetic, simply present. 
    This first act is not about falling in love. It is about arrival: learning the city’s rhythms, testing identities, and discovering that starting over rarely feels clean. New York offers George a blank slate, but it also demands that he decide what he is willing to write on it. 
    A contemporary, authentic gay novel about desire, modern masculinity, and the uneasy calm that comes before commitment.

    At a young age, Karmen Berentsen’s free-spirited playfulness was grounded thanks to her father’s expectations of perfection and her mother’s death. With suppressed emotions, intelligence, and resolute drive, Karmen managed to become successful in business while leaving a trail of disastrous relationships. The path to rediscovering and reclaiming her essence became her training ground for learning to fly as a human, a woman, and a business leader. And it is a map for other women (and men) who want to live fully and authentically. This is nothing short of the heroic journey towards living a fully human, fully soulful life.
