Knock it Off! - Imitation Isn’t...

Alanna Zabel

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.

The Heart of Therapy -...

Laura Barnett

This thoughtful and heartfelt book develops two main themes: the healing power of a compassionate understanding towards ourselves and others, and the ways boundaries are set within and around various areas of our lives. 
 
 
 
It examines how we live these boundaries, how they impact us, and what it takes to live these with deeper satisfaction. This book also addresses shame and rage; the impact of trauma; the power of parental messages, spoken and unspoken; and transgenerational burdens. A theoretical chapter summarizes the author's integrative, phenomenological approach: it brings the insights of a body-focused trauma therapy and a systemic lens to an overarching existential perspective. Numerous vignettes, case studies, and client-therapist dialogues illustrate reflections on life, philosophy, and therapeutic modalities and practice. 
 
 
 
This book will be a thought-provoking listen for trainee and practicing counselors and psychotherapists, or anyone looking for self-reflection on their own practices, life, and ultimately, what it means to be human.

Imperial Life - The Glory Order...

Rogan Fish

This bundle invites readers to walk the marble-paved streets of Rome at its height. The first section, Imperial Rome, explores the structured yet lavish lives of Roman elites, administrators, and common citizens. It reveals how the empire maintained order across vast territories using laws, infrastructure, and an intricate bureaucracy—while projecting power through majestic architecture and imperial ceremonies. From the palaces of emperors to the hum of city forums, this part paints a vivid picture of Rome's beating heart.
The second section, Gladiators and Games, dives into the thrilling (and often brutal) world of Roman entertainment. Learn about the engineering marvels of the Colosseum, the blood-soaked spectacles that kept the masses distracted, and the lives of gladiators who fought for fame and freedom. This part also covers chariot racing, theatrical performances, and the philosophy behind “bread and circuses”—how entertainment functioned as both cultural glue and political strategy.
In the final section, The Pax Romana, readers will discover the period of unprecedented peace and prosperity that allowed art, trade, and daily life to flourish. This chapter explores how stability encouraged innovation and helped Rome become a melting pot of cultures, ideas, and wealth. Imperial Life is a journey into the grandeur, governance, and gatherings that made Rome more than a military powerhouse—it was also a cultural empire that continues to fascinate the modern world.
