  Return to the River -...

  From #1 international bestselling author, speaker, and humanitarian Dave Pelzer comes the next chapter in his life—how, after spending decades saving others in the military, as a fire captain, and an internationally acclaimed advocate, he needs to confront a way to save himself. 
   
  On the surface, Dave Pelzer’s life seems like an action movie—he’s walked the red carpet with celebrities and stood shoulder to shoulder with soldiers in Iraq; he’s flown top-secret missions for the U.S. Air Force, obtaining the rank of chief, and battled wildfires in California as a volunteer fire captain.  
  And now—on the eve of the 50-year anniversary of this rescue from horrific childhood of abuse and into the safety of the foster care system—he reflects on the battles he’s fighting in his own heart. From a lifetime spent serving and saving others, can he learn how to serve and save himself?  
   
  Banished to his basement at age five, Dave Pelzer had cried a river of tears before most children learned to tie their shoes. His now classic books, A Child Called “It”and The Lost Boy, chronicled how he was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother: a mother who nearly  
  killed him multiple times. But despite the odds stacked against him, he rose to become a #1 New York Times bestselling author, inspirational speaker, and internationally recognized humanitarian. 
   
  After fighting for years to vanquish his pain and to channel it into service forothers, Pelzer sifts through the psychological rubbl e of a life that has seemingly crumbled around him. What he shares is deeply transformative and unflinchingly honest. In his struggle to simply survive, he never learned how  
  to just be. Reeling from the loss of a love—and a broken spirit—Pelzer must reconcile his life choices and free himself of blame and shame to find peace and renewed purpose.  
   
  Amidst the towering redwood trees and the serenity of his childhood utopia of the Russian River, Pelzer reflects on having the courage to move forward in your life, the peace to accept yourself, the vulnerability to strip yourself of facades, and to find the tenacity to carry on when life doesn’t turn out the  
  way you planned. 
   
  For anyone who has been hurt, victimized, or feels alone, there is hope and there is always a way to rewrite your own story. Pelzer’s soulful and inspiring story will remind you to keep your faith, live with gratitude, and find the well of resilience deep within you.  
   
  Don't miss Dave's special message at the end of the audiobook!

  The Appeal to Authority Fallacy...

  Authority plays a significant role in shaping our understanding of the world, influencing decisions, and providing guidance in countless areas of life. It’s embedded in every facet of society, from the classroom to the courtroom, from the boardroom to the laboratory. At its core, authority is the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience. However, the nature of authority is multifaceted and often taken for granted, especially in a world where expertise is increasingly revered. 
  The concept of authority is deeply ingrained in human culture and history. From the earliest civilizations to modern-day societies, humans have sought structure and order, often relying on individuals or institutions with perceived knowledge and expertise to guide them. These figures, whether they are religious leaders, scientists, political figures, or educators, are often seen as trusted sources of truth. This trust is not just a reflection of their knowledge or expertise but also a product of social conditioning. In many cultures, authority is linked to the idea of legitimacy, with authority figures perceived as credible due to their position, reputation, or experience. 
  Yet, this reliance on authority can also be a double-edged sword. While authority figures often provide valuable insights and direction, they are not infallible. The human tendency to defer to authority can sometimes lead us to accept claims or decisions without questioning their validity. This uncritical acceptance, while often harmless, can lead to significant errors, as seen in the history of science, medicine, politics, and more. Blind trust in authority can stifle innovation, suppress dissent, and allow misinformation to spread unchecked.
