The following paragraphs have been taken from the book Mobbed!: What to Do When They Really Are Out to Get You by Janice Harper. (Backdoor Press)

Is someone out to get you? Have they made things so bad for you that now a lot of people are out to get you? Have your friends or coworkers been told to avoid you, and one-by-one they’ve obliged? Are you being accused of everything from moral failings to criminal behavior?

If so, you need some information and you need some help. In this book, I go where a lot of the anti-bully books will not go into the minds of good people who will become bullies when given the opportunity and into your own confused mind when under attack and making bad decisions.

I will take you through the labyrinth of lies, distortions, and smear campaigns that commence when a bully turns into a mob and you find yourself the subject of gossip, lies, inquisitions and accusations from the very people you once trusted as friends, coworkers, and colleagues. I’ll tell you how to cope, with a few dirty tricks and a few uncomfortable truths. And I’ll tell you how to start to heal once the attacks have stopped, but the wounds still bleed.

This book has great therapeutic value with analysis of often undetected manipulative patterns in destructive relationships which is both compassionate and profound. Many people will find it and eye opening reading experience and maybe even a mirror of their own lives.

Overcoming Anxiety explains how to manage anxiety and stop it from taking over; it teaches you the skills you need to lead a more peaceful, stress-free life.

Too often, life just races by. You don t fully experience what s happening now, because you're too busy thinking about what needs doing tomorrow, or distracted by what happened yesterday. And all the time your mind is chattering with commentary or judgement.

Mindfulness allows you to experience the moment instead of just rushing through it. Being mindful opens you up to new ideas and new ways of doing things, reducing stress and increasing your enjoyment of life.

On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better.
