  From age 3, Katrina endured relentless physical and emotional abuse from her narcissistic mother while her passive father hid in denial. Gaslit into self-hatred, she lived in fear, suppressing her emotions and needs. Trauma shaped her, leading to cycles of self-destruction—until fate led her to healing at 40. 
   
  In her debut memoir, Katrina shares her 12-year journey of overcoming childhood abuse, complex PTSD, and deep-seated self-loathing. Through diverse healing modalities, she reclaimed her worth, embraced her high sensitivity, and awakened spiritually. With raw honesty and research-backed insights, she hopes to inspire others to step toward healing and happiness. 
   
  "The Damage of Words is unparalleled, fearlessly accompanying you on an awakening you may think is out of reach. Katrina's lens into healing is like no other, cutting through BS by sharing her journey and teaching you self-mastery in every chapter. Guiding you to manage yourself and your energy, and giving you the space to realign, heal and reconnect to your psychic talents. Gift it to yourself to be more than you ever knew you could be, what you always were supposed to be.” — Dr. Chantelle Brandt Larsen, Transformation Leader and Board Advisor

  From 
  the host of the YouTube channel that went viral—Dad, How Do I?—comes a book 
  that’s part memoir/part inspiration/part DIY.  
  Rob Kenney’s father left him and his seven siblings when he 
  was fourteen years old, and the youngest had to fend for themselves. He wished 
  that he had someone who could teach him the basics—how to tie a tie, jump-start 
  a car, unclog a drain, use tools properly—as well as succeed in life. But he 
  and his siblings had to figure these things out on their own.  
  Now a father himself, Rob decided that he would help people 
  out by providing how-to tips as well as advice—and even throw in some bad dad 
  jokes. He started a YouTube channel for anyone looking for fatherly advice, and 
  in the course of three months, gained a following of nearly 2.5 million 
  subscribers, with millions of views for his how-to and inspirational 
  videos.  
  In this book, Rob shares his story of overcoming a difficult 
  childhood with the strength of faith and family, and offers inspiration and hope. 
  In addition, he provides 50 practical DYI instructions (30 of which will be 
  unique to the book).  
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Death Ray The: The History and...

  Nikola Tesla was one of history’s greatest scientists, and though he is best known for his pioneering work with electricity, the fact that he is mostly remembered solely for that actually does a disservice to his legacy. Born a Serb in the Austrian Empire, Tesla came to the United States and worked in a laboratory for none other than the Wizard of Menlo Park, Thomas Edison. 
  Having established AC as an electrical supply system, Tesla became a global celebrity, and his devices and inventions fascinated people. Tesla tinkered with everything from X-rays to wireless communications and even attempted a primitive form of the radio. While Tesla was not able to successfully execute the devices and concepts he foresaw, his forward thinking in fields like wireless communication certainly proved prescient, and his futuristic devices and his later reputation for eccentricity helped create the “mad scientist” image that still remains a pop culture fixture. Tesla seemed to have come to grips with this aspect of his legacy late in life, noting, “The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up." 
  During World War I, in December 1915, Tesla gave an interview to The New York Times in which he claimed he was working on something entirely new, a weapon that would use electrical power to instantly destroy a distant target. He explained that this weapon was “so far developed that great destructive effects can be produced at any point on the globe, determined beforehand and with great accuracy.” Tesla called this new weapon the “Teleforce,” and he would continue working on this project for the rest of his life, but he consistently refused to give details of its operation. Many people believed it was impractical, but with Tesla, it was never possible to be entirely certain.

  The Jesuit Disruptor - A...

  A fresh look at a complex pope with a simple agenda: radically reforming the Catholic Church. 
   
  Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the consummate disruptor, disrupting archaic modes of church governance, disrupting our collective spiritual complacency in the face of new challenges to our human flourishing while at the same time remaining deeply faithful to the organic traditions of the church. He is the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, but beyond that he is a universal leader with commanding moral presence, able to connect with laypeople and with non-Christian faiths. Pope Francis is also a credible moral voice on issues of immigration, economic inequity, the devastating consequences of political populism, and the accelerating threats to the environment, in spite of the fact that he faces deep infrastructure and governance scandals in his organization. 
   
  In his determination to reform the Vatican and ensure the Catholic faith evolves in a way that is relevant to the twenty-first century, Francis is very much carrying on the tradition of the Jesuits, an order known for their work in education, humanitarian missions, and social justice. A deep understanding of the Jesuit order informs Michael W. Higgins's approach in this novel listening of a papacy unlike any other.

  Arthur Conan Doyle - Six of the...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
