The Naked Truth
Author: Harry Trotter
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781646693405
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
This butt-naked memoir tells the story of a young man who 'trottered' across the globe - from Belgium to Australia, Vanuatu to Canada, Thailand to Nepal - to escape his toxic upper-class family and discover the freedom he needed to find his true sexual, spiritual, and emotional identity. It is the story of how one man learned to create the fertile soil of his growth from the paralysing fear that can turn generation after generation of families into emotional wastelands. Written with humour and a healthy dose of self-awareness, the book is filled with astonishing anecdotes and encounters ranging from horrific to hilarious and from devastating to uplifting and enriching. It is a must-read for anyone who feels lonely miscomprehended and trapped by the expectations of family, friends and society, as well as for those seeking their own path through life or struggling with their sexuality. It is a manifest against the stigmatisation of gay people which is still taking place today. Sexuality does not define everyone. A practical book, it also provides tools and tips on how to hear the voice of your true self and break free of the prisons we find ourselves in. This book is also a must read for people who believe being 'on the road' is their one and only home. Harry Trotter's The Naked Truth is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a reminder that it's never too late to begin the healing that allows us to discover and live our truth. It reminds us to just be ourselves - without putting a label on it. Harry Trotter is a mentor and an award-winning professional speaker who is better known as the Sexuality Cycle Breaker. His mission is to support as many people to break their cycles in terms of identity, sexuality, pressure and confidence so that they can live their truth.

Time to Grab Your Balls
Author: Brian Maxey
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781533610393
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
The first book in the Time to Grab Your Balls series, Time to Grab Your Balls and Be a Man, is the foundation of what a man needs to be in Mind, Body and Spirit. It combines humor, psychological breakdowns, a lot of swearing and straight to the point explanations. It is serious and deep, without all of the boring bullshit. This book will help to build the fundamentals needed to master all areas of life. In fact, several highly decorated celebrities and Politicians were going to share their thoughts on the effectiveness of this book. Unfortunately, none of them responded to my random solicitations...sooooooo. Now, I have not seen another book out there that takes the same approach that I do. There might be one; Hell, there might be a bunch of them. I just haven't read them. You see most books on this subject are pretty shitty. They cover how to date or how to be in touch with your feminine side. Some cover how to simply act like a stereotypical man's man. You know, eating meat and talking sports. And that's not actually all that bad, but let's face it, if that's all you know about being a man then you're a fuckin' jackass. This book is not like that. This book will cover a multitude of subjects and show you how to be what a true man really needs to be; for himself, for his family and for society. Of course I'm sure there is a question you are dying to ask..."Why should I read YOUR book?" And I get it. We often base our perception of credibility in a pretty screwed up way. We don't want to hear from anyone that isn't a Doctor or a Celebrity or discovered by Oprah. But let's think about that. Does Medical School teach you how a Man should act? Does being a Celebrity mean you have figured out anything about life? Of course not! So No, I am not a Celebrity or a Shrink. What I am is an expert at being a Man. My expertise is how to act, think and feel like a man. How to take lumps and keep on ticking. How to treat people. How to get shit done. My expertise is balancing emotions so as not to be a pussy but not an emotional rock either. I am an expert in working out and getting scars while also knowing how to play with babies. Do you understand where I am going here? I didn't go to school to learn why you have Daddy Issues, nor have I spent my life on television pretending to be someone I'm not. I hope you can handle that.

This Book Has Balls
Author: Michael Rapaport
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501160338
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
The sports world according to Michael Rapaport—actor, Top 50 podcaster, award-winning film maker, and sports fanatic—from the greatest and downright worst athletes, players, teams, and jerseys, but minus statistics, analytics, or anything else that isn’t pure hustle in this “hell of a book” (Shaquille O'Neal). In 1979, nine-year-old Michael Rapaport decided he was going to do whatever it took to be a pro baller. He practiced and practiced, but by the time he was fifteen, he realized there was no place for a slow, white Jewish kid in the NBA. So, he found another way to channel his obsession with sports: talking trash. In the “crazy, passionate, funny and intense” (Colin Cowherd) This Book Has Balls, Rapaport uses his signature smack-talk style and in-your-face humor to discuss everything from why LeBron will never be like Mike, that Tiger needs the ladies to get his golf game back, and how he once thought Mary Lou Retton was his true love. And, of course, why next year will be the year the New York Knicks win the championship. This book is a series of rants—some controversial, some affectionate, but all incredibly hilarious. “Something is wrong with Michael Rapaport but that’s what makes him right,” (Charlamagne tha God).

This will be the very last book you ever read. Because after you have read this book, you, Good Sir, will know how to be a pro athlete. And pro athletes don't need books. Or strong family bonds. Or any of that stupid crap. Not when they have ready access to millions of dollars and scores of smoking hot chicks with questionable judgment. This book will be all you require to cast aside your boring life as some jackass who cruises around bookstores hoping to score grad-school trim. With Men with Balls, you will learn how to: Showboat using classical pantomime techniques Figure out whether or not a stripper actually fancies you Emotionally cope from the emotional fallout of rookie year hazing games Find out which free locker room amphetamines will give you a shot of energy, and which will cause you to run down terrified schoolchildren with your Escalade (NOTE: Some do both) Avoid media scrutiny by directing beat writers and columnists to the nearest hot buffet So grab your balls, bookboy. You're about to become a home-run hitting, steroid-injecting, angry-orgy-having Turbostud. They're gonna need a whole ocean just to wash your jock.
