  For the past 20 years I have been to many third world countries in Africa and Asia as a Missionary/Evangelist, often staying for years and living among people in very remote areas. 
  While many people in the world invest so much time and effort 
  in building their lives around comfort and luxury, I do believe that 
  "comfortable is scary!" 
  My Autobiography just published on Amazon is inspirational and motivational! 
  You will get to read unheard facts and feel genuine love for 
  another human being just by reading this phenomenal book. 
  I believe we need to read more books of this kind. 
  Everyone, regardless of religious belief, age, gender identity, race, colour, or nationality, should read this book.

  WINNER History Book of the Year, An Post Irish Book Awards.
  Throughout history, the stories of women's lives and work have been overshadowed by those of men.
  
  Wives, especially, disappear, unacknowledged as patrons and champions of their husband's work, as collaborators, muses, carers and managers of the family domain.
  Great Irish Wives shines a spotlight on ten such wives: Matilda Tone, Mary O'Connell, Constance Wilde, Charlotte Shaw, Emily Shackleton, Annette Carson, Sinéad de Valera, Margaret Clarke, George Yeats and Beatrice Behan.
  The men in this book are household names, from Wolfe Tone and Daniel O'Connell to Oscar Wilde and Brendan
  
  Behan, and they all have one thing in common: they married women who enabled them to pursue their dreams,
  
  even if that meant courting death or outrage. Nicola Pierce tells the stories of these truly remarkable women.

  "A raw, self-aware, and earnest remembrance." —RECOMMENDED by Kirkus Reviews 
  "Engaging and entertaining . . . Blotnick delivers a well-written, thought-provoking and incredibly honest account of his fall from grace." —RECOMMENDED by The US Review of Books 
  ". . . a riveting, thought-provoking read that lingers long after the final page. Highly recommended for those who appreciate unvarnished truth and masterful storytelling." —RECOMMENDED by Manhattan Book Review 
  -- 
  “That, dear reader, is what happens when you let your blind spots get the best of you.” 
  One day you’re on top of the world, the next you’re chained in a jail cell on Rikers Island. It turns out that actions have consequences. 
  Gregory Blotnick lived a life of excess, spending money as fast as he could make it. At age thirty, he had everything a man could ever want. It still wasn’t enough. Driven by unchecked ambition and vainglory, he risked it all on himself with no plan B. . . only to discover what happens when burning the boats goes horribly wrong. Each time he thought he'd hit rock bottom, an even rockier bottom laid in wait beneath it. But just when he thought that he’d lost everything a man can possibly lose, he found what really matters. 
  Written from two jails and a rehab clinic, Blind Spots is a shocking, dark and searingly honest memoir, a rollercoaster of decadent highs and soul-crushing lows, and a cautionary tale of how your greatest weakness is always your greatest strength taken too far. 
  All book proceeds donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

  Breaking the Inherited Cycle of Trauma
  In his unflinchingly honest memoir, Mitchell Raff candidly recounts his journey to overcome generational trauma and break free from decades of addiction. With raw vulnerability, he lays bare his destructive coping mechanisms and the far-reaching consequences they wrought on his life and on those around him.
  Beaten mercilessly as a child by his Holocaust-survivor mother, Mitchell was later kidnapped from Los Angeles to Israel before finding refuge with loving relatives back in America. In his adult life, the echoes of trauma forced Mitchell into patterns of substance abuse, sexual vices, and toxic relationships. But at a certain point, Mitchell explains, you need to own your decisions, for better or worse. After years of painful self-examination and work, Mitchell settled into a healthy relationship and found the strength to endure blows that once would have destroyed him. 
  Mitchell’s unfiltered account of his trials, failures, and ultimate breakthrough to become the man he always wanted to be is living proof that cycles of generational trauma can be broken, that even the deepest wounds can soften, and that though the road is difficult, it is within reach to not only survive but thrive.

  Women Who Invented the Sixties -...

  Women Who Invented the Sixties tells the story of how four women helped define the 1960s and made a lasting impression for decades to follow. 
   
   
   
  In 1960, Ella Baker played the key role in the founding of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which became an essential organization for students during the civil rights movement and the model for the antiwar and women's movements. In 1961, Jane Jacobs published The Death and Life of Great American Cities, changing the shape of urban planning irrevocably. In 1962, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, creating the modern environmental movement. And in 1963, Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique, which sparked second-wave feminism and created lasting changes for women. Their four separate interventions helped, together, to end the 1950s and invent the 1960s. 
   
   
   
  Women Who Invented the Sixties situates each of these four women in the 1950s—Baker's early activism with the NAACP and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Jacobs's work with Architectural Forum and her growing involvement in neighborhood protest, Carson's conservation efforts and publications, and Friedan's work as a labor journalist and the discrimination she faced—before exploring their contributions to the 1960s and the movements they each helped shape.
