Summary

In a world where heroes are born and made, we find ourselves drawn to those who embody the qualities we admire and aspire to possess. Their stories inspire us, their achievements motivate us, and their presence in our lives gives us hope.

But what happens when the hero we admire falls from grace? When their flaws and imperfections are revealed, tarnishing the image we once held dear? Can we still find solace and inspiration in their story, or does their downfall shatter the illusion and leave us disillusioned?

This is the question at the heart of A Place of Solace, a thought-provoking exploration of hero worship and the complex relationship between fans and their idols. Through a series of intimate and revealing interviews, the author delves into the lives of individuals who have experienced the highs and lows of hero worship.

From the exhilaration of meeting their idol to the devastation of seeing them fall from grace, these individuals share their stories with candor and vulnerability. They examine the impact that hero worship has had on their lives, both positive and negative, and they offer insights into the psychology of admiration and disappointment.

A Place of Solace is a journey of self-discovery and reflection, a meditation on the nature of heroism and the human condition. It is a story about the power of inspiration, the pain of disillusionment, and the resilience of the human spirit.

This book is a must-read for anyone who has ever admired a hero, anyone who has been disappointed by a hero, and anyone who has ever wondered about the complex and ever-changing nature of human relationships.

    We are sometimes our own worst enemies, sabotaging our success and with it our chance for lasting happiness and opportunities for personal and professional fulfillment. It's Not Your Fault helps listeners uncover the subconscious reasons they hold themselves back. These blind spots were often created in childhood as coping mechanisms in response to trauma. Rather than teaching tactics that ignore or give surface attention to adverse childhood events, the book lovingly guides listeners to explore the ways these events have impacted their lives and how this knowledge will help them access true transformation. 
     
     
     
    Those who have been let down by traditional therapeutic techniques know that behavior modification doesn't work for everyone. Simply doing things differently while staying the same on the inside might help for the short term, but before long old patterns emerge. Once they decide to get serious about change, however, and stop tweaking habits in the hope it will result in lasting transformation, they can create a life by design instead of default. It takes work, an internal excavation, and Laura comes alongside the listener as a trusted guide who has been where they are now. She provides the tools and anecdotal evidence to show them how to overcome the pain of self-sabotage and create the life they desire.
