WTF are Boundaries
Author: Fraser Johnson
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1039150969
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
WTF ARE BOUNDARIES? is author Fraser Johnson’s firsthand account of his path to understanding the Narcissistic Abuse Cycle entrapping him, his past trauma, and learning when he needs to say NO, rather than saying yes to everything. It’s also the story of Fraser’s steps toward healing and finally valuing himself. DUDE, YOUR LIFE IS F***ED. This is the frequent refrain of Fraser Johnson’s subconscious, and, honestly, Fraser himself doesn’t disagree. He owns the vast and wild circumstances in which he’s found himself, the humorous as well as the painful, toxic, and even traumatic: loss, an abusive relationship, and borderline self-destructive behaviours. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s all been a part of Fraser’s journey, and he hopes he can use it to help others. Unfailingly honest, WTF are Boundaries? offers an understanding of what it’s like to experience narcissistic abuse from someone you love, why it is so difficult to leave these relationships, and why we need to address the silence around this issue— especially when it comes to how it impacts men. This book sets itself apart from others on the topic by departing from the impersonal, clinical tone often used in discussing it. The author speaks from his own experience, and his voice is real, approachable, and often humorous. Adults looking to learn more about setting necessary boundaries and narcissistic abuse, and anyone looking to engage with a great storyteller who unflinchingly delves into painful emotions as well as unbelievable adventures, this book is for you.

Pages : 288
Book Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

If you think money can’t buy happiness, you’re not spending it right. Two rising stars in behavioral science explain how money can buy happiness—if you follow five core principles of smarter spending. Happy Money offers a tour of new research on the science of spending. Most people recognize that they need professional advice on how to earn, save, and invest their money. When it comes to spending that money, most people just follow their intuitions. But scientific research shows that those intuitions are often wrong. Happy Money explains why you can get more happiness for your money by following five principles, from choosing experiences over stuff to spending money on others. And the five principles can be used not only by individuals but by companies seeking to create happier employees and provide “happier products” to their customers. Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton show how companies from Google to Pepsi to Crate & Barrel have put these ideas into action. Along the way, the authors describe new research that reveals that luxury cars often provide no more pleasure than economy models, that commercials can actually enhance the enjoyment of watching television, and that residents of many cities frequently miss out on inexpensive pleasures in their hometowns. By the end of this book, readers will ask themselves one simple question whenever they reach for their wallets: Am I getting the biggest happiness bang for my buck?
