  This audiobook serves as a guide to understand and deal with all pernicious and invisible forms of abuse. It provides keys to deal with their appearance in your own life. 
  Violence is too often acknowledged only when there is material proof of it. Abuse with physical damage gets the news and make authorities react. However, the earliest stages are invisible. You don't see them coming. Abuse is mental, emotional and energetic. Predators and emotional vampires should not be underestimated, since they are omnipresent in the shadows of our everyday lives. 
  The author had a 20 years career in the music business (that was before Internet), before leading a 30 years career as a renowned personal and spiritual coach in the French speaking parts of the world. He proposed an array of workshops and published two books. He now starts his third career, sharing his accumulated insights and wisdom in his "Wise" audiobook series. This is the first book of the series.

  Family Lexicon

  An Italian family, sizable, with its routines and rituals, crazes, pet phrases, and stories, doubtful, comical, indispensable, comes to life in the pages of Natalia Ginzburg's Family Lexicon. Giuseppe Levi, the father, is a scientist, consumed by his work and a mania for hiking—when he isn't provoked into angry remonstration by someone misspeaking or misbehaving or wearing the wrong thing. Giuseppe is Jewish, married to Lidia, a Catholic, though neither is religious; they live in the industrial city of Turin where, as the years pass, their children find ways of their own to medicine, marriage, literature, politics. It is all very ordinary, except that the background to the story is Mussolini's Italy in its steady downward descent to race law and world war. The Levis are, among other things, unshakeable anti-fascists. That will complicate their lives. 
   
   
   
  Family Lexicon is about a family and language—and about storytelling not only as a form of survival but also as an instrument of deception and domination. The book takes the shape of a novel, yet everything is true. "Every time that I have found myself inventing something in accordance with my old habits as a novelist, I have felt impelled at once to destroy [it]," Ginzburg tells us at the start. "The places, events, and people are all real."
