Summary

Pearls Before Swine by Christina Engela - A collection of quotes of author and LGBT human rights activist Christina Engela. 
  
"Hugs are so vital a thing that there should never be so few of them that you can count all the ones you've had." – Christina Engela 
  
"Many of these quotes come from my activism days, when I wrote and shared articles almost daily from my blog "Sour Grapes: The Fruit of Ignorance" to address various social injustices on local and international stages. Unfortunately, through the passage of time, I've grown to feel that the phrase "I told you so" followed most of my warnings many years after, and as many activists in the field of human rights probably feel – my warnings went unheeded. They were in fact, pearls cast before swine – hence the title. Nevertheless, I decided to share my fragments of wisdom and philosophy with the world. What you do with it further is up to you." – Christina Engela

    From the bestselling author of The Vagina Monologues and one of Newsweek's 150 Women Who Changed the World, a visionary memoir of separation and connection—to the body, the self, and the world 
    Playwright, author, and activist Eve Ensler has devoted her life to the female body—how to talk about it, how to protect and value it. Yet she spent much of her life disassociated from her own body—a disconnection brought on by her father's sexual abuse and her mother's remoteness. "Because I did not, could not inhabit my body or the Earth," she writes, "I could not feel or know their pain." 
    But Ensler is shocked out of her distance. While working in the Congo, she is shattered to encounter the horrific rape and violence inflicted on the women there. Soon after, she is diagnosed with uterine cancer, and through months of harrowing treatment, she is forced to become first and foremost a body—pricked, punctured, cut, scanned. It is then that all distance is erased. As she connects her own illness to the devastation of the earth, her life force to the resilience of humanity, she is finally, fully—and gratefully—joined to the body of the world. 
    Unflinching and inspiring, Ensler's In the Body of the World calls on us all to embody our connection to and responsibility for the world.A Macmillan Audio production.

    Trauma, the nation's epidemic, and mainstream culture's hot topic. Our Broken Brains: The Human Condition highlights modern-day trauma therapy alongside real-life stories of the complexities of psychological trauma. Within a traumatic experience, the human brain becomes physiologically damaged, leaving one underdeveloped, bruised, hijacked, and deficient, creating a hostile mental pathology to future events. Subsequently, humanity can no longer trust itself. Regardless of age, gender, socioeconomic status, or sexual orientation, anyone may have sagas that create a broken brain or an impaired mental state. Within a broken brain, our brain and body connections collapse, and our responses result in an emotional tempest of spiraling mental health, pervasive feelings of shame, overcompensation, avoidance, and destructive behaviors. Mentally recreating or dismissing painful events manipulates the brain's senses, causing the person to become emotionally sidelined. Therefore, living in painful episodes of the past. Broken brains create personal mental deficiencies while decreasing individual productivity and escalating poor social patterns. Unfortunately, too many have learned to function daily with trauma's brokenness. Overcoming brokenness requires building a healthy social and emotional ecosystem while increasing emotional intelligence to develop and reconstruct each integral part of life. This book will guide you to heal from traumas' brokenness and expand your mission of constructing a healthy self and space for wholeness and wellness.
