How to Escape from Prison

Paul Wood

The Remarkable Story of How One Man Defied the Odds 
  
At 18, Paul Wood thought he had lost everything. He had committed an act he knew would send him to prison for many years. To a young man like Paul, it might as well have been for the rest of his life. 
Plunged into a nightmarish world of extreme violence, solitary confinement, gang allegiances, drugs, vindictive wardens and regular stabbings, Paul spent the next 11 years confined in some of New Zealand's toughest jails.  
Based on an account of his experiences he wrote while still inside, How to Escape from Prison chronicles Paul's road to redemption and a new life as a doctor of psychology, helping others strive to fulfil their potential and develop the resilience to flourish, even in adversity. This is a gripping read about a man who sank to the depths of despair, before scaling the heights of true freedom. 
'Paul's transformation is unbelievable. We are sometimes brought up to think a zebra can't change its stripes. Paul Wood's story is proof that anyone can change. It gives you great courage that you can do anything.' 
- Sir John Kirwan

The Snowy Battlefield of Ohio -...

Stanley O'Shea

In this captivating memoir, Stanley unflinchingly shares his tumultuous experience as an international graduate student in the American Midwest. His narrative weaved through a labyrinth of unexpected trials, crises, and cultural clashes as he grappled with the perplexing healthcare system, the haunting justice system, the intimidating immigration maze, and the bureaucratic intricacies of academia.
Through his triangular interactions with two “elite” students, he not only rectified his understanding of mainstream American culture but also delved into the depths of human relationships. The multi-layered emotional turmoil Stanley endured as he confronted the “devil” within and outside, mixed with the benevolence and insights he received from peers and fellows, resulted in his transcendence of the original “American dream.”
Along this journey, Stanley invites readers to reflect on universal themes of identity, resilience, mental health, and spiritual growth.
Fantastic and uncompromising expression of what it means to be an immigrant to the US today. Essential reading for anyone considering immigrating or who has already immigrated and finding it unexpectedly difficult to assimilate into US culture. As a third culture kid and hidden immigrant, I wish I’d had this book decades ago. Its insights would have saved me years of heartbreak, loss and sorrow. — Andrew Indahl, civil rights attorney, UCLA graduate
In a land where the coffee is strong and the health insurance is weak, the author navigates friendships like a tightrope walker — balancing between cultural faux pas and the fear of being misunderstood. Love was a puzzle with missing pieces, and every legal form felt like an existential riddle. Yet, through each cringing trial, he discovers that the quirks of human behavior are the threads that weave us all together, regardless of the results. — Alfred Olivas, STEAM Education Consultant, former expat in Asia
