Book Description
The surprising roots of the self-defense movement and the history of women’s empowerment. At the turn of the twentieth century, women famously organized to demand greater social and political freedoms like gaining the right to vote. However, few realize that the Progressive Era also witnessed the birth of the women’s self-defense movement. It is nearly impossible in today’s day and age to imagine a world without the concept of women’s self defense. Some women were inspired to take up boxing and jiu-jitsu for very personal reasons that ranged from protecting themselves from attacks by strangers on the street to rejecting gendered notions about feminine weakness and empowering themselves as their own protectors. Women’s training in self defense was both a reflection of and a response to the broader cultural issues of the time, including the women’s rights movement and the campaign for the vote. Perhaps more importantly, the discussion surrounding women’s self-defense revealed powerful myths about the source of violence against women and opened up conversations about the less visible violence that many women faced in their own homes. Through self-defense training, women debunked patriarchal myths about inherent feminine weakness, creating a new image of women as powerful and self-reliant. Whether or not women consciously pursued self-defense for these reasons, their actions embodied feminist politics. Although their individual motivations may have varied, their collective action echoed through the twentieth century, demanding emancipation from the constrictions that prevented women from exercising their full rights as citizens and human beings. This book is a fascinating and comprehensive introduction to one of the most important women’s issues of all time. This book will provoke good debate and offer distinct responses and solutions.

Book Description
In a world filled with comparison, confined creativity, limited flexibility, and sustained dissatisfaction, young adults are suffering from a lack of pure passion and zest for life now more than ever. Social media makes things so easy to constantly feel your life is not as good as the person on your Snapchat feed or Instagram scroll, and today’s society puts so much emphasis on being the “perfect” person that adolescents are setting themselves up for an impossible standard to reach. The youth of our generation needs to be reminded that they have the power within themselves to set their own standards and go after their innermost blissful desires to create more thrill and purpose in their lives than they could ever deem possible. Magic in the lives of young adults needs to be reinstalled, dreams need to be reintroduced, and seeds of passion for life needs to be replanted. Be Your Own Hero cultivates a mind-set that the door to success always swings inward, not outward. In order to achieve your external goals, you must work on your inner self. This book aims to help young adults realize that their external empire only goes as far as their internal empire. By building a sense of self heroism and an ability to save themselves versus relying on external factors to do their saving for them, young adults can not only dream bigger but also love and serve bigger—leading them to a life they never thought possible.

Book Description
Our most revered heroes, such as Jesus, Gandhi and Martin Luther King, distinguished themselves by their ability to remain true to themselves even when facing adversity. Whenever we exhibit this kind of integrity we feel like our own hero, writes Dr. Jordan Paul in his latest book, BECOMING YOUR OWN HERO. It is available to us all but, he adds, even our inspirational heroes usually have not shown us the way to apply this principle in our close interpersonal relationships. Now, Dr. Paul, co-author of the national best-seller, Do I Have to Give Up Me to Be Loved by You?, fills this gap. By showing us how to respond to difficulties in ways that do not compromise our own integrity or that of others, he provides a guide to finding greater fulfillment in relationships with ourselves, significant others, children, friends, and co-workers.

Book Description
This is the book I wish I could've read when I was broken. It details my entire journey from marrying a man with a cluster B personality disorder,living with his abuse,my eventual escape from him after many years of marriage and then as he promised me through gritted teeth if I divorced him,losing everything including my children who he turned against me.We explore how I learned about cluster B disorders particularly Narcissism and how I healed myself from this toxic relationship.As I began healing I thought of myself as a caterpillar gathering knowledge and working towards a transition of huge changes towards a fully fledged butterfly and freedom.I used this knowledge to write manageable bite size 'Chrysalis to Butterfly' healing blogs designed to be read in order chunk by chunk through your recovery but also in titled sections so they can easily be referred back to.These have helped many survivors navigate their way out of abusive relationships and onto the healing road towards recovery.I've included my personal Parental Alienation Diary,which details how the Nex achieved total alienation of my children from me. Then I explore how I reconnected with my scapegoat son despite my daughter,the Nex golden child still being lost in the fog of alienation for nearly four years as this book was going to be published.All my advice and articles have either appeared in my secret abuse recovery group and been read by survivors or more recently on Tammy Mariposa public page where I write exclusively for target parents and have helped them to reconnect with their children using my 'drips of love' technique.When my son returned to me I held on through my joy pain and tears and continued to journal my sons reunification story over the year which provides valuable insight into how parental alienation is achieved and how the conditioning can be broken by the 'Drips of love' technique.So let me hold your hand and walk with you in your grief and pain and help you to heal yourself by firstly letting go of the guilt about moving forwards without your children so you can reach a mentally healthy place, so you are then in a position to rescue your children from their pathogenic parent.Firstly by understanding what is actually happening to your child, how your alienated child thinks and secondly how you can use this knowledge to reconnect with them and repair and nurture a loving relationship with them once again.We then explore how we can look to the future with our new knowledge by turning our pain into positivity and heal to such a point where we can live a life of love and abundance.
