When a career-ending injury left elite athlete and professional football player Lewis Howes out of work and living on his sister’s couch, he decided he needed to make a change for the better. He started by reaching out to people he admired, searching for mentors, and applying his past coaches’ advice from sports to life off the field. Lewis did more than bounce back: He built a multimillion-dollar online business and is now a sought-after business coach, speaker, and podcast host. In The School of Greatness, Howes shares the essential tips and habits he gathered in interviewing “the greats” on his wildly popular podcast of the same name. In discussion with people like Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson and Pencils of Promise CEO Adam Braun, Howes figured out that greatness is unearthed and cultivated from within. The masters of greatness are not successful because they got lucky or are innately more talented, but because they applied specific habits and tools to embrace and overcome adversity in their lives. A framework for personal development, The School of Greatness gives you the tools, knowledge, and actionable resources you need to reach your potential. Howes anchors each chapter with a specific lesson he culled from his greatness “professors” and his own experiences to teach you how to create a vision, develop hustle, and use dedication, mindfulness, joy, and love to reach goals. His lessons and practical exercises prove that anyone is capable of achieving success and that we can all strive for greatness in our everyday lives.

This book is different. "Permission Granted" is meant to be a simple, quiet read to help us understand what it means to live in the aftermath of a traumatic event and to enhance our understanding of what it means to live with the sorrow of personal trauma. We hope to understand why we seem unable to leave the past behind and why we cannot find our way to tomorrow. Trauma is trauma. There is the day before the personal traumatic event and then there is the moment of the traumatic event. What happens between these two moments in time, seemingly changes one's life forever, as tomorrow never seems to come. Trauma is a shapeshifter, it changes all of the time, and when it comes, welcome or not, it always comes to stay. This book is different for it asks the question: 'How do you want to live with this personal traumatic experience?' One way or the other we are all part of the healing journey. We do not ask you to qualify to be here to read this book as we all sit side-by-side in the Circle of Healing as we move towards the journey to healing. This book is different. When it comes to trauma and healing from rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse we have to stop asking the question: 'Did this happen to you?" The answer is not really important, the fact that you are here is what matters. This book is written in the collective voice of 'We' because it is written for each and everyone one of us. We do not ask you to identify if you are a 'victim' of a traumatic event or if you are the friend or loved one of someone who has been in harm's way. All are welcome here. To those who would ask the question: Did this happen to you? The consistent mantra throughout this book resonates from the first page to the last: The answer does not matter! Any other answer deprives each and every one of us of the benefit and blessing of someone who is willing to listen, the first step in the healing process. Share this book with someone that you care about ~ someone that is hurting ~ it will be the first step in their healing journey home ~ and don't forget to say... 'We are in this together...let's go home'.

From clinical psychologist Linda E. Ledray, Recovering from Rape is a comprehensive handbook offering emotional support and practical guidance to survivors and their loved ones in coping and overcoming the trauma of rape. If you have been sexually assaulted, you are probably experiencing a mix of fear, anger, and depression. If you are a relative, friend, or lover of someone who has been assaulted, you too may be deeply affected by the incident and by the survivor’s reaction to it. However, working together, survivors and their loved ones can recover and may even be able to turn the recovery into an opportunity for positive change and growth. The experiences of survivors recounted throughout this book reassure readers that others have pulled through. Dr. Ledray helps survivors realize that no matter what they did—wore a low-cut blouse, accepted a ride from a stranger, invited an acquaintance home—they did not deserve to be raped. She guides them from guilt or disbelief through bitterness and despair to the decision to take back control of their lives. In addition, this comprehensive handbook explains what to expect at the police station, at the hospital, and, if necessary, in court. It covers such health issues as incest, STD treatments, and post-traumatic stress disorder, and legal information on prosecution and bail, DNA testing, and rape law. An essential resource, Recovering from Rape helps readers learn the most effective ways of dealing with their feelings immediately following an assault, during the subsequent few months, and beyond.

This book is different. This book is about 'after the fact'! From the first chapter to the last, "PermissionGranted" takes us on the journey of healing after experiencing physical and emotional trauma that are the result of rape, sexual assault, and emotional abuse. Permission Granted" is meant to be a simple, quiet read to help us understand what it means to live in the aftermath of a personal traumatic event and to understand what it means to live with the sorrow of personal trauma. This book is different, in "Permission Granted" 'Dr. Kc' describes with empathy and compassion the struggle to find a way back home. Permission Granted" helps both compassionate listeners and wounded alike to understand the profound life altering affect that trauma brings to everyday life. We hope to understand why we seem unable to leave the past behind and why we cannot find our way to tomorrow. Trauma is trauma. There is the day before the personal traumatic event and then there is the moment of the traumatic event. What happens between these two moments in time, seemingly changes one's life forever, as tomorrow never seems to come.

This book is dedicated to the 35 women of The 'Sorrowful Sisterhood' who had the courage to come forward and give a voice to their own personal traumas in the July 2015 edition of the New York Magazine. This book is also dedicated to all the voices represented by the empty chair that have come forward since that time to give a voice to the stories of their own personal traumas. This book is different. When it comes to personal traumatic events we have to stop asking the question: 'Did this happen to you?"

Dating After Trauma teaches readers how to date again after being raped or experiencing an abusive relationship. Dating after rape, date rape, or an abusive relationship presents unique challenges as most survivors experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which alters their perception of the world and makes it more difficult to develop relationships, build trust and experience intimacy. It takes tremendous courage to date after suffering an abusive relationship or sexual trauma. It can be even more difficult to be open to love from a good person without experiencing fear. However, once you know what to look for in terms of roadblocks, the path to love becomes much easier. In "Dating after Trauma" Emily Avagliano discusses the common obstacles abuse victims have when trying to find love. Her story is based on her own personal struggle to overcome past trauma and find her soulmate. Through this insight, she provides a methodology for dating that builds trust and intimacy in a safe and healthy way. She can help you let go of your fear and date in a manner that love becomes possible. For rape victims, if you have experienced date rape or sexual abuse, and want to reclaim your sexuality, find your soul mate, or just start feeling again, this book guides you through that process of healing. If someone you love has been raped, you see them suffering, and don't know how to help them move on from the past, this book will help. If you are a mother, father, friend, boyfriend or dating partner, this book explains what rape victims feel and why it is so hard for them to trust and love someone new. This book also tackles the pain of abusive relationships. If you have experienced the roller coaster of an abusive partner where some days he is the best person in the world and other days you can't understand his anger, this book will help you heal. If you have altered your behavior to try to control your partner's anger, jealousy, or even violent physical outburst, this book is for you. If your partner used name calling, controlling behavior, restricted your clothing choices, verbally intimidated you, or made you feel less than, read this book. If you are a parent, partner, or want to help someone in an abusive relationship but don't know how, this book provides insight into ending the cycle of dating abusive partners.

At 30 years old, Lewis Howes was outwardly thriving but unfulfilled inside. He was a successful athlete and businessman, achieving goals beyond his wildest dreams, but he felt empty, angry, frustrated, and always chasing something that was never enough. His whole identity had been built on misguided beliefs about what "masculinity" was. Howes began a personal journey to find inner peace and to uncover the many masks that men – young and old – wear. In The Mask of Masculinity, Howes exposes the ultimate emptiness of the Material Mask, the man who chases wealth above all things; the cowering vulnerability that hides behind the Joker and Stoic Masks of men who never show real emotion; and the destructiveness of the Invincible and Aggressive Masks worn by men who take insane risks or can never back down from a fight. He teaches men how to break through the walls that hold them back and shows women how they can better understand the men in their lives. It's not easy, but if you want to love, be loved and live a great life, then it's an odyssey of self-discovery that all modern men must make. This book is a must-read for every man – and for every woman who loves a man.

Focused and timely. . . . Chapters on special issues highlight marital rape, legal factors, the recovery process, and prevention. Important factual information is interspersed with painfully graphic first-person responses from survivors. This book is an important contribution to the trauma and recovery literature. --Terry L. Sweig in READINGS: A Journal of Reviews and Commentary in Mental Health "This book addresses the problem of acquaintance rape and its complexity in a comprehensive manner. The book provides helpful information and treatment suggestions for those professionals who wish to know more about this important issue. It is a useful addition to the field of mental health." --Doody′s Health Sciences Book Review Journal "Spousal rape and acquaintance rape are treated in this book. It is an important text for therapists in the field." --Ron MacIssac, review in What′s Happening?, Victoria, B.C. Every year thousands of women are raped by someone they know and never report the sexual assault, partly because acquaintance rape is still widely misunderstood in our society and victims are often blamed for the crime. Addressing a need to change perceptions about this type of assault, this important book informs and educates about the nature of acquaintance rape and its impact on the victim, intervention, and prevention. The chapters on intervention include material on crisis intervention, tools for effective rape counseling, and strategies for meeting the psychosocial needs of survivors who are facing long-term recovery due to previous sexual assault victimization. Survivors vividly describe the events in their own words, bringing home the horror of acquaintance rape and the immediate need for action to prevent it. The authors also offer a special chapter on marital rape to expose this long-denied and insidious form of rape. In addition, a useful review of current literature pinpoints interventions crucial to rape prevention. Intimate Betrayal is essential reading for mental health professionals; crisis centers, student services, and law enforcement personnel; pastoral counselors, legal professionals; social workers; and advanced clinical students. But in addition to the helping professionals, this memorable book provides information important to any reader interested in understanding the nature and treatment of acquaintance rape.

Re-Humanize offers a window into sexual assault and the messy path of survival. With poems that began forming just hours after being raped, Marlee shares her journey of emotional processing alongside facilitated discussion questions. The ties between individual trauma and cultural wounding are made clear as the writing expands and unpacks various issues rooted in objectification. Author Marlee Liss, who is well known for her groundbreaking restorative justice outcome following this sexual assault, grapples with her deeply held beliefs in transformation and humanity amidst such pain. This new and revised edition takes readers on a journey, gently challenging individuals to deconstruct sources of suffering, combat shame and challenge silence surrounding rape culture and painful life experience. Each page serves as a reminder that our grief deserves to be held with love, our stories deserve reverence, and our transformation is within reach.

It will encourage and empower you to do and say the right things. Learn about the (seemingly small) things that will make a BIG difference in the recovery and the aftermath of a Sexual Assault & Rape Victim.Believe me, you do not want your friend/loved one to experience any Secondary Trauma. Having to overcome the trauma from Sexual Assault & Rape is difficult enough. It is a well-known fact that the damage from Secondary Trauma runs deeper and is even harder to overcome. For your friend/loved one to be treated and supported with trauma-informed communication & care is the absolute best-case scenario. None of it is rocket science. Just sound advice. Powerful valuable insight about compassionate and effective communication with a Sexual Assualt & Rape Survivor.Until now there hasn't been a basic go-to handbook that will give you some of the most helpful & clearly explained ways and tools to apply quickly and easily. The Power Value lies in using the right language and the right words. Knowing what is helpful and why. Knowing what is hurtful and why.

With the help of this book, you can be the guiding light and the solid rock that proofs to be the cornerstone to healing and a better, shortened recovery process. Prolonged Trauma and Secondary Trauma, which is trauma that is inflicted by either well-meaning but completely ignorant people.

This book could very well provide you with the shortest education possible on the subject while having the biggest impact.

Hopefully, you will be able to offer this immediately or at least within the first 3 to 4 months of the time of the Sexual Assault & Rape. Because I wasn't so lucky, I recognized there was a HUGE need for this information to be readily available. I repeatedly tried to tell everyone who was inflicting unnecessary damage (More Pain & More Trauma) to STOP. Being the Rape Victim and the 'Teacher' simultaneously was an insurmountable task. No one can be the Cardiac Surgeon and the Heart Transplant Patient at the same time. Although it has taken me years to get to this point, I can proudly say: ' I did it'. I have written this book and am making it my life's work to have solutions and options that are Helpful, to replace the Hurtful ways used by people not informed/educated on the subject... You are here because you care, with this book you will now have access to the tools and knowledge to make a difference! Thank you for caring, you are doing the right thing!
