  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. 
  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. 
  Remember, Imitation Isn’t Flattering, everyone else is already taken.

  Soundtrack Of A Misfit: -...

  This is a debut work by Washington, DC area native writer and poet. It's a coming of age tale about a late bloomer who grew up feeling like a misfit. It's also the story of a young Jewish woman who wanted to be an edgy punk rocker but was too afraid to incur motherly guilt. True to her character, she weaves her ardor for music and nature all throughout the book. The author grew up in the 80's when not much was known about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); something she was diagnosed with at the young age of five. She always struggled to keep up in classes and was teased for being too slow, too sensitive and too short. As a young girl and adolescent, her passion for music and the outdoors allowed her to escape reality. As life became more complex, the author turned to adventure, alcohol, marijuana and men.  
  She had zany experiences traveling throughout the United States, as well as Jamaica and Israel -- always on a quest to find "her" people and a place of belonging. The author epitomized "failure to launch" and tried her hand at a number of careers including: being a barista, a Montessori elementary school teacher; a recycling specialist; an administrative assistant; and an entrepreneur before finally landing. Eventually this small, Jewish girl with ADHD transformed herself into a woman of grit and grace. She found she belonged to a sober community that she never imagined she'd join and today, uses her life's lessons as a power for good.  
  The author now helps those struggling with ADHD, addiction, anxiety and other mental health issues to focus on their own paths to healing. She once berated herself for being an unruly dandelion stuck among organized rows of roses. Today, Rachel Leigh Wills is proud to call herself a wildflower and help others to sow seeds of self-compassion and self-esteem. Hope you'll enjoy reading. Sincerely, Rachel Leigh Wills

  "George Dewey, a name etched in the annals of naval history, stands as a testament to courage, strategy, and unwavering resolve. Let us embark on a voyage through the life of this remarkable admiral.    Early Life and Naval Career:  Born on December 26, 1837, in Montpelier, Vermont, George Dewey's destiny was intertwined with the sea.  At age 15, he enrolled at Norwich University in Vermont, but his spirited antics led to expulsion for drunkenness and herding sheep into barracks.  Undeterred, Dewey entered the United States Naval Academy in 1854. His graduation in 1858 marked the beginning of a storied naval career.  Civil War and Rising Through the Ranks:  As the Civil War erupted, Dewey served as the executive lieutenant aboard the USS Mississippi.  He played pivotal roles in the capture of New Orleans and the Siege of Port Hudson, aiding the Union's control of the mighty Mississippi River.  By war's end, Dewey had risen to the rank of lieutenant commander.  The Battle of Manila Bay:  In 1897, Dewey requested assignment to the Asiatic Squadron, anticipating conflict with Spain.  When war erupted in April 1898, he led his squadron to Manila Bay in the Philippines.  On that fateful morning, Dewey's cruisers and gunboats faced the Spanish fleet. His immortal command echoed: "You may fire when you are ready, Gridley."  The result: a resounding victory. The Spanish fleet lay defeated, and Dewey suffered no significant casualties.  His triumph at Manila Bay secured the acquisition of the Philippines by the United States, expanding its power into the western Pacific.  Admiral of the Navy:  Dewey returned home to a hero's welcome in New York City.  In March 1899, the U.S. Congress bestowed upon him the unprecedented rank of Admiral of the Navy.  For the next 17 years, he served on the General Board of the United States Navy, shaping crucial policies.  Legacy:  George Dewey's legacy transcends battles and ranks. His victory at Manila Bay remains a beacon of American naval prowess.  His life straddled two centuries, witnessing naval evolution and global shifts.  Dewey's name graces the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., a testament to his indelible mark on history.  Admiral Dewey's story, like the sea itself, ripples through time—a saga of valor, leadership, and the enduring spirit of exploration."
