  Tired of toxic celebrity culture distorting your habits, mental health, and self-esteem? Have you fallen prey to the manipulation of a narcissist or sociopath? Or perhaps you're a creative whose work was exploited by someone more influential. It’s time to expose the gaslighting tactics used by modern day manipulators - including celebrities and corporations - strategies meticulously crafted to capture your attention and line their pockets, all while they knock off creators, sell illusions, and embody hypocrisy. 
  In this compelling and transformative memoir, Alanna Zabel bravely reveals some of the posers, abusers, and knock-offs she has personally experienced while navigating a spiritual life in a superficial world — one where the wealthy and powerful often turn a blind eye to injustice to ensure their own personal interests. 
  Alongside her personal journey, interwoven with profound stories of synchronicity and spirituality, Alanna highlights the evolution of morality, the growing influence of corporate greed, and the healing power of our interconnected world. Through her life as a celebrity yoga instructor, entrepreneur, and spiritual realist, Alanna shares empowering lessons to help you navigate through the smoke and mirrors of our media-saturated and excessively filtered world, while confronting manipulation and betrayal in the elite's shark-infested pool - where the waters are far more dangerous than they appear on the surface. 
  Knock It Off! is your guide to recognizing common predatory and abusive personalities in our world today. Alanna’s resilience, humor, and insightful spirituality shine through each shocking share, closing each chapter with helpful prompts and thoughtful considerations for you to live free from common deceptions.

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  The City of Lights may be one of the glories of the world but for those whose three score and ten have passed it is the final resting place for some of the very finest of literary talents.

  GEORGE WASHINGTON 
  There is quite a bit of pedigree that comes with being the first in any role or position. Most specifically, you get to set the tone and expectations for those who come after you. As there is no expectation or previous failures for you to repeat, there is less pressure to uphold the reputation of someone who had held the position before you. 
  Unfortunately, there is also a great deal of pressure that comes with being the first. When you are first there is no one there to come before you, to help guide you in the right direction or advise you when you are perhaps leading astray. 
  One of the most prestigious firsts is the focus of this book. Inside, you will get a comprehensive look into the life, career, education, accomplishments, failures, death, and legacy of the first president of the United States, George Washington.
