Rising Above Opioid Addiction An Indigenous Woman’s Story of Childhood Trauma, Faith & Healing by Siera Taketchera Russell by Siera Taketchera Russell

Someone you love might be only one high away from dying of an overdose.

That was Siera’s story.

For two decades, she lived a daily battle. Would she press on in her pursuit of the pinnacle of success…or surrender to the constant temptation to self-destruct?

This riveting memoir recounts the journey of an indigenous girl from an impoverished reservation in the American Southwest… all the way to Harvard and U.C. Berkeley Law School. Along the way, the demons from her violent, dysfunctional childhood continue to haunt her steps, dragging her again and again into the depths of addiction and destructive relationships.

Can she overcome the stigma of opioid addiction to fulfill her commitment to lead her tribe forward, discovering faith, hope and love along the way?

In this unforgettable, gut-wrenchingly honest book, Siera shares the difficult choices she made, the price she paid and the reason she continues to believe.

Being Authentic: A Memoir

About Being Authentic: A Memoir:

⚠ Our existence is fragile. I learned that in many intricate ways, so I do not take today for granted. I do not know what tomorrow will bring. I do not even know if tomorrow will come. ⚠

◆ On the eve of Thanksgiving 2016, I received the diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. Next to dying, I fear the spread of cancer to my brain and losing my ability to think, speak, or write. This loss would be devastating to me. ◆

The fragility of our life made me want to be authentic. Therefore, I am writing this memoir to be authentic—we become our true selves when we author who we are.
I am afraid of being forgotten. Death does frighten me. But more than dying, I am scared of having no one remember me or, even worse, of being recognized differently from who I was. At the same time, I have never thought that I was entitled to ask others not to forget me. But, not to be forgotten is precisely what I yearn for. ★
While I am writing for the other, I am simultaneously writing for myself. I am one of the readers and will test the subject as it gets written. My criteria are stricter. I want to say, “This is my narrative.”

♥ I need to be able to say, “This is my narrative.” ♥

Corporate Psycho

About Corporate Psycho:

If it weren’t so funny, it would be serious, very serious. The corporate world is gripped by a virus of bad behaviour. The corporate psychopaths have taken over.

Disgusting, selfish and downright mean behaviour is dressed and camouflaged as acceptable. We have gone to the dark side. The pressure of delivering year-in-year-out on the undeliverable has made it easier to disguise, but only for a short while, as karma reigns in those guilty. What has happened to the good guys, the standard-bearers of normality, decency and honesty? They are out there, plugging away, day in day out, fighting the good fight in the right way of course.

Let us not despair, let us look for our champions like Max Clarke as he goes head to head, chapter by chapter, in this mockumentary, a true confession of all sorts, as he takes on the psychopaths of big corporations and expose their rearguard and senselessness. The game is corporate snakes and ladders in a journey of witty confrontations, settling each score one by one at corporation Klink.

Corporate Psycho is a satirical expose of a business enterprise and organisation of people coming together in their pursuit of dominance, fame, success and greed. It comes at the expense of decent colleagues, ethical values and the fabric of the organisation and what it originally stood for.

Crossing the Hall: Exposing an American Divide

About Crossing the Hall: Exposing an American Divide:

Lori Wojtowicz has spent her life in classrooms, 35 years teaching and now traveling the country as an educational consultant. She writes not of what she taught, but of what she learned. And the lessons were not easy. Her students provided a microcosm of American society, and she was forced to confront the issue of racism in her classroom, her country, and most significantly in herself. A journey in self reflection, she presents the questions she now believes white Americans must ask of themselves if there is ever to be equity. An unusual pair, Plato and Malcolm X, and all the students served as her guides. She writes because of them.

PAIN IS A LANGUAGE: The Human Body User Guide by Jean-Pierre Perreault

Two 20-year-old cars. Same year, model, brand, options; built the same day, in the same factory. Car A is in mint condition. Car B is going to the wrecking yard. What made the difference in the destiny of these two cars? Which one got regular maintenance, diligent driving, and got its little noises fixed before they turned into trouble?

Do you do dental care? What for? To prevent your teeth from deterio rating, right? Consequence: your stomach is doing better, your pride as well. Teeth: 0.01% of your body mass. Muscles: 45%. Add bones and joints, here’s 70% of you. Did you know that when muscles are healthy, there is no reason for your bones and joints to hurt?

Any idea what goes wrong when in pain? Not your fault. Nobody instructed you on the simplest way to take care of your physical self.

The regular maintenance we perform on our teeth, our houses and our vehicles are anti-aging actions. What about the rest of the body? Most of the aging of the human vehicle could be easily prevented. Bad driving and no maintenance causes pain, aging, and even worse, potentially leads to other health problems.

You Might Be Better Off Dead Or Dying. Today’s Steps For Success and Fulfillment So You Don’t Regret Tomorrow by Bill Knapp

All too often we need to be shaken a bit and startled in order to realize that we should be taking a different direction from the one we are presently pursuing in life.

Just think.

It is a wonderful feeling to be able to sit back, look at your accomplishments, observe what you are actually doing in the present, and know the path you have established in your future. A path that is of your own design, your own making, and a path that keeps taking you closer and closer to your goals and the passion you enjoy most in life. You will sit there, contendedly and smile as you enjoy that feeling. You are ever growing, ever improving and perpetually learning and basking in the joy of it all.

This is available to almost everyone, regardless of their state or time in life. It is something that we are able to strive for universally. And it provides a life and existence that you find fulfilling, successful and truly rewarding. And, with a bit of effort, it is something that we can all accomplish.

And yet, the vast majority of humanity sits around in their jailed beliefs and perceptions of life. They look at those that are achieving more than they are with awe and envy, and they feel thwarted and frustrated.

This book looks at the major causes of these issues, the reason for stagnation and fear of advancement. And in an entertaining and very easily read educational manner provides the solutions to your issues and the steps you can take to break the present mold and reach for those stars that youi felt were so unattainable. It describes the actions to take, the thought processes to adopt and the sword to cut through the bog you have made for yourself.

Even if you are a successful and fulfilled person, there is always room for growth and improvement, and this book can help you to look at matters in a completely different perspective, and gives you a view that will look like a rising sun in the early morning.

Wake up every day with a purpose, a drive and a clear road to your dream life, your dream relationships, your very raison d’etre.

Unlike many self-help, motivational or improvement books that drone on, provide umpteen steps to take, and generally act as a great sleeping aid, You Might Be Better Off Dead Or Dying, Steps For Today So You Won’t Regret Tomorrow, lays it all out in a concise, easy to understand, pleasurable to read manner. There are examples and true stories from cover to cover to help you realize how wonderful life can be and how untold multitudes of people have escaped their self-imposed past and current situation and have not only reached for the heavens but have also attained them.

This is one of those rare books that you can return to time and again to refresh your recollection or jump start your future. What better time than now to start. If you put it off, you are putting off your future.
