Say goodbye to anyone form of toxicity!

An excellent resource for anyone curious about creating their own deodorant. Conventional deodorant is extremely toxic to the body, it contains aluminum in an alarming concentration and the sooner you stop slabbing it on your body the better! I reckon that you could even start selling your own homemade deodorant with the recipes provided in this book. It gives a ton in many different scents that all use natural essential oil as the fragrance. Totally worth the money!

Did you know that most household cleaners are made from things that can kill you?  Of course you did, that's why we keep those things away from small children.  Everyone knows that.  But did you ever stop to think what they were doing to you (and your small children) after you cleaned?  That "fresh scent" is NOT natural nor is it good for you.

There's no need to throw away your old cleaners in favor of the all-natural substitutions found in this book... but -I- did as soon as I realized what was in those cleaners that I have been using for years.  For example, the book suggests to use boiling hot water to unclog a drain.  It works!  I always have water and a pot on-hand.  No longer do I need to stock caustic drain cleaner under my sink, where little hands might get to it.

You can read this book with its simple message and memorable photographs in one evening, but it will change your life -- and the planet -- for ever.  For those with respiratory problems, it's a God-send.  A must-have for all parents, no matter how old your kids are.

If you're one of those uppity wives who is married to an intolerable louse -- yet put off by the sheer weight of what it would take to clean up your life -- then this book is for you!

You see, Handford's solution is brilliant:  by relinquishing your individuality and freewill, you can serenely resign yourself even to the most unsavory fate.

You have been warned! Not for everyday consumption. May only be consumed as occasional entertainment or as passive-aggressive revenge upon those within a six block radius.

This product could also be sold in the toys and games section of Amazon as a modern improvement upon the Whoopee Cushion. No longer is a cheap red rubber inflatable needed to play tricks upon one's cubicle mate! Just simply place a handsomely decorated basket of complimentary F.O. bars next to the Keurig machine. In the matter of one to two hours the room will be lit up with noxious firecrackers and you're coworkers will be clamoring for a stall in the restroom.

In all seriousness, I UNKNOWINGLY ate chicory root extract for months without realizing why I was suffering from endless misery. I thought something was  really wrong with me... a food allergy or Crohns or IBS. Then one day I stopped consuming it, and lo and behold, the dark cloud of wretched flatulence that had hung over me for months had disappeared!

Read your labels! This freaky, farty ingredient lurks in lots of so-called health foods.

You just got out of a relationship by the skin of your teeth and your sanity barely in tact.  You have declared to any and everyone you know that "Never again am I going to get into a relationship like that one!"
But here's the problem.  This isn't the first time you've done this and said that.  So why did it happen again? It happened again because you had the will to avoid and prevent another nightmare relationship, but you didn't have the WAY.
This is the best book and the best way I know of on how to guarantee that you never again go through a relationship with a toxic person. Run and buy it and read it, unless of course you want to take your chances and do and say "Never again" at the end of your next relationship.

Another fantastic book by Ryan Leak!
I know Ryan Leak, I work with him and I can say he is one of the most cool headed people I've ever met!
What allured me so much about this book was the person who wrote it.
This is an EXTREMELY step by step practical guide on living life without offense.
Offense is a poison that is meant to eat away at valuable relationships that God has put into our life. It is a scheme from the enemy to separate us from our loved ones.
This book ask the question why? Why do I have to be offended? Why do I have to be upset at small things and allow them to erode my relationships? Why do I have to always seek justice for my own offenses? The resounding and powerful answer this book gives is "you don't!"
You can be free to live and to love without the fear of being hurt!
You can make room for offense and never be surprised when it comes!
It promises you will be hurt but you don't have to stay that way! You're tougher than you think and this book teaches you how to access that in a very personal way.
It's written as if Ryan himself is sitting in front of you having a personal conversation with you. This book will help to alter negative perspectives and expectations towards people.
Free yourself! Give yourself the opportunity to live not on eggshells and read this book!
I LOVE this book and would recommended to everyone that has ever or that ever will be offended. (That's everyone)
BE UNOFFENDABLE starting TODAY and order this excellent book for you and your loved ones!

While most of the examples in this book pertain to romantic partner relationships, the message applies to all abusive relationships, including the children of abusive parents. The author debunks 17 commonnly-believed myths about abusers and replaces them with facts. Even though I have been educating myself about these issues, I was surprised to see how many of these false beliefs I still held, and how they actually help the abuser. No more! What a relief!

After reading this book and pondering its message, you will find yourself acquiring a new superpower--you will be able to see through what Amazon requires me to politely refer to as bull.

On a fundamental level, all abusers are the same--their behavior is designed to create a cyclone of bull from which you cannot escape. Your abuser is neither different nor original in terms of what underlies his abusive behavior (though he may come up with some superficially creative ways of making you miserable and controlling you).  Your abuser is at the eye of this cyclone of bull and is not actually hurt by it unless outside forces impose consequences. His violence, threats, insults, lies, anger, and manipulations swirl around him, yet affect you and those you care about. Read this book and see your way out.

I read this book about ten years ago after a terrible break-up.  The scales were pealed from my eyes.

This book really did help me break bad behavior and thinking patterns that doomed me to unhappiness.  I only read the book once, but that was all it took.  I was permanently changed for the better.

Do you pine over lost loves or look for some type of sign to see if you should persue them because it may be "meant to be" and they may be "the one"?  Well, stop it!  That kind of behavior will ruin your life.  Quit locking yourself away in your room listening to crappy sad music and buy this book.

Spoiler alert:  There are many "ones" out there, so don't sweat it.  Good luck and God be with you.

Beyond Blame is a great book for eliminating the most destructive things we do to family, loved ones, and co-workers:

BLAMING them, in an attempt to get off the hook, vent, protect our ego, or get them to change their behaviors.

The problem is, as Carl Alasko teaches, that because blame is so common we think that it's OK to use it. But it's not. In fact, "blame has ravaged our most precious relationships for far too long."

Blame might temporarily discharge your anxieties, but it will never, ever bring you closer to happiness in any relationship.

Some of the points in the book I highlighted:

1. We use blame as a way to discharge anxiety or frustration, and maintain our social standing
2. We'll do almost anything to make sure that we're not seen as bad or wrong
3. Contempt and humiliation-- forms of blame-- are the emotional equivalent of being burned with fire
4. Self-blame stems from a deep-seated believe that we're not good enough
5. Don't ask questions that begin with "Why...", or "How come you didn't..."
6. When the above is asked of you, this sets a blame trap. Don't take the bait!
7. Controlling our emotions and tone of voice is essential to communicating our needs effectively
8. Express your emotions without using criticism, accusation, or punishment
9. Make a declarative statement expressing your feeling and your need (right-- no blaming!)
10. Aim for a 4:1 ratio of thinking to feeling

Carl Alasko teaches us about Positive Accountability-- what we should use instead of blame. PA is two behaviors:
-Thoughtfully acknowledging an error and considering how to repair it
-Expressing an emotion or need without criticizing or attacking

My favorite takeaway from Beyond Blame:
"Criticism, accusation, and punishment (forms of blame) do not help people change a mistaken behavior. Rather they reinforce the behavior, or create a furor that inhibits change." Why? BECAUSE WE ALL RESIST CHANGE IMPOSED FROM THE OUTSIDE.

Some other gems from the book...

THREE DATING GUIDELINES
1. Everything counts (things you notice but tend to dismiss)
2. Show me the proof (don't trust everything they say)
3. One date at a time (don't get too ahead of yourself due to the attraction "high")

THE LAW OF LESSONS LEARNED
Every mistake contains a lesson. Heed the lesson. Move on.

THE MOST COMMON BLAME TRAPS IN MARRIAGE ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT BEGIN WITH:
"Why..." and
"How come..."

WHAT YOU KNOW AND WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW
"We are all limited by what we know and what we don't know, and especially by what we believe to be true in that moment"

Overall, an excellent book. I am already putting its themes into use in my own life. My only complaint is that it could have been written in 100 pages instead of 300.

Just finished this book in two days!  I was hesitant to purchase it because I felt I HAD dealt with a root of bitterness in my life, yet I was seeing some telltale signs not all had been dealt with.  Buying this book was one of the wisest purchases I've made recently!  Her story is worth the read in and of itself, but the practical counsel for getting free and staying free of bitterness and unforgiveness is priceless.  Buy this book, read it, and share it with someone you love.  We are all vulnerable to toxic bitterness.  Thank you, Tracey Bickle.

In this slim, wonderful book, Dr. Ault promises to take you, step by step, through the process of disengaging from an abusive partner  and she delivers. I'm author of Lovefraud.com and have read many books about dealing with disordered people. This is the most clear, concise and helpful how to for breaking away from a toxic person that I have ever read.

The Five Step Exit is a collection of advice, strategies and exercises that will enable you to take your life where you want it to go. Throughout the book, Dr. Ault asks questions to help you crystalize how you can move forward. For example:

 What are your priorities? What is at risk? What are you willing to sacrifice? What needs to be protected?
 Your ex may try to re-engage with you. What are the goals of your toxic ex in these efforts?
 What if you get Hoovered, and you fall hook, line and sinker for one of your exs ploys to suck you in?

Dr. Ault helps you think through all of these situations, and more, so that you are as prepared as you can be for anything that may happen.

Getting out of the relationship is half of the battle. The other half is to re-ground yourself in your own life, desires and wellbeing.

The Recovery section of Dr. Aults book is full of healing suggestions to help you create life after the sociopath. She recognizes that some involvements with sociopaths of leave us in financial ruin, so many of her suggestions are free  all they require are your time and attention. These include going outside, journaling and freedom rituals.

Some suggestions are surprising, like social dancing  including ballroom, tango and country. Social dance lets us make gentle physical and social contact with others in pleasant, affirming environments, Dr. Ault says. And its a lot of fun.

All in all, The Five Step Exit is chock-full of sound advice and solid strategies for getting out of the craziness and moving forward to the sane, peaceful and happy life that you truly deserve.

If you want to leave the sociopath, this slender book tells you exactly how to do it. Highly recommended.

Love this book! The title's been my private mantra for YEARS. Dr. Sutton's concise examination of the trouble caused by workplace antagonists is not only right on, but is the one thing that has been carefully stepped around by HR forever. High time the topic's been given its due. It's an essential guide for anyone up against any of a variety of bullies. And not just at work. I can see The NAR being helpful even at the grocery checkout line.

It's also great from a hiring perspective. By paying close attention to the earmarks of these troublemakers (especially looking to pick up cues and clues when checking a new hire's references), there's a better possibility of keeping the a**h***s from getting hired in the first place.

As much as I enjoyed how refreshingly open and honest as it is on the top of problematic coworkers, I wonder if those coworkers would ever become self-aware enough to read the book themselves and change their behavior as a result. Now THAT would be amazing.
