    You are about to get a combo deal of 7 different books! These are the topics the books are all about: 
    Topic 1: Introverts are introverts, but did you know that there are different kinds of introverts? 
      
    Topic 2: In this short, comprehensive book, we will talk about the differences and the extremes, so you can see for yourself in which direction your life has been going. 
      
    Topic 3: Are you ready to love yourself more? 
      
    If so, then this guide is for you. Here, you will learn the 3 most powerful advantages of self-love, the motivation factors it can create and the ones that are behind it, and 8 great steps to love yourself more. Finding a partner can be easier, which is something we will explain in the last chapter. 
    Topic 4: I’m sure you have heard of the enneagram model for personality types, but what does this mean for relationships, leadership, conflict, and other issues in society? 
    Topic 5: You will learn more about narcissism versus empathy, how to become a more empathetic spouse, the dangers of social media, healing methods for empaths with traumatic memories, and what the difference is between empathic parenting and “rescue” parenting. All of these topics will help you understand empathy, empaths, and yourself better.  
    Topic 6: After starting out with a brief explanation of the chakras, this book is mostly dedicated to healing the Third Eye chakra and the crown chakra. Many people have testified of a spiritual awakening they experienced by opening these two important chakras. 
      
    Topic 7: Are you or is anyone you know a highly sensitive person? 
      
    In order to answer that question, we have to study the subject, and what distinguishes such a person from others who have “regular” levels of sensitivity.

    In an attempt to outflank the German Gustav Line running across Italy, Operation SHINGLE was launched on January 22nd 1944. Achieving complete surprise, the Allies made a successful landing at Anzio, but paused rather than pushing quickly inland, a delay which gave the Germans time to seal off the area and to counterattack the beachhead. Heavy fighting took place until early March, during which the Americans and British were nearly driven into the sea, after which a stalemate was reached. In the following months the Allied forces were reinforced and in late May a breakout was made with the strategic intention of cutting off the Germans retreating from the Gustav line, which had now been pierced. However, General Mark Clark redirected the main effort of the Anzio forces towards the capture of Rome, permitting most of the enemy to escape and to fight another day. An operation that cost thousands of lives for disputed benefits, SHINGLE remains a controversial subject.

    This book consists of two titles, which are the following: 
      
    Book 1: Empaths… empathy… sensitivity… what’s the difference? 
    Some people have developed a knack for feeling compassion or empathy for other people. To others, it comes naturally. And to some, it’s an intense gift that has ups and downs, pros and cons that allow them to help others but also become fatigued when they don’t watch themselves. 
    Are you an empath? Or do you just have a lot of empathy? 
    In this guide, you’ll figure out some of the major distinctions, as well as specific types of empaths, like earth empaths, physical empaths, relationship empaths, dark empaths, and food empaths. You will also receive some advice about how to lead your empathic children in the right paths of life. 
      
      
      
    Book 2: Being an empath can be a good thing, but it also comes with some problems. In this book, we’ll address both sides. These factors of being an empath will have an incredible impact on your life.  
      
    For example, we will discuss some tips for raising empathic children. We will point out the three types of empaths, so you can identify with the one that suits your personality most. Additionally, we’ll talk about why emotional empaths usually stay alone or why they feel lonely. At the end of the book, some encouraging thoughts are given to help you cope with the difficulties of life, and to help other empaths.
