No one saved me - so i did - Abuse and neglect to hope

Tamsin Maci

Sinossi

Tamsin’s life was shaped by silence—
 
first in a childhood marked by neglect and fear,
 
then in a marriage that slowly erased her.
 
But beneath the pain lived a quiet strength. 
 
In this powerful and deeply personal memoir,
 
she shares her journey through abuse, survival,
 
and the long road back to herself.
 
From heartbreak and homelessness
 
to healing and hope,
 
this is a story of finding your voice
 
when no one hears you—
 
and learning to stand
 
when no one lifts you.
 
For every woman who has felt invisible,
 
afraid, or stuck in someone else’s story—
 
this book is your reminder:
 
The power to change your life
 
has always been within you. 
 
Because sometimes,
 
the only person who can save you... is you.

History’s Most Eccentric Rulers...

John Harpoon

Power has always been a double-edged sword—offering opportunities for greatness but also the potential for corruption, delusion, and madness. Throughout history, many rulers have been both celebrated and reviled for their eccentricities, often teetering on the edge of sanity while wielding vast control over nations. The stories of these rulers show how the intoxicating nature of power can distort the mind and lead to decisions that are as bizarre as they are devastating.
The concept of a "mad" ruler is not a modern invention. It dates back to the earliest recorded civilizations, where kings, emperors, and sultans were sometimes seen as divinely ordained and untouchable. But even among these figures, some exhibited signs of mental instability that manifested in erratic behavior, cruel decisions, and a disregard for the well-being of their people. Some were driven by paranoia, others by delusions of grandeur, and a few by sheer capriciousness. Their reigns were marked by irrational decisions, catastrophic wars, and extravagant indulgences, all stemming from minds slowly unraveling under the weight of their own authority.
However, the line between genius and madness in leadership has often been blurred. Some of these rulers, despite their apparent instability, shaped their empires in ways that were revolutionary. Their eccentricities, for better or worse, left lasting impacts on the world. The stories of these individuals are not just about the grotesque sides of leadership; they are also about how absolute power can warp the human psyche and elevate the smallest of flaws into destructive forces.
