We grow into adulthood so often without the skills to deal with the trauma and negativity the world throws at us, especially when it comes to self esteem. I found the writing and journaling exercises in this book to be liberating, therapeutic and helpful in dealing with some personal challenges we face in our lives. This book is enough to tackle any unresolved issues and to move one forward in life. This is a very practical book and offers tools for everyone young and old to learn how to stop trying to fit in, but to use their God given talents and gifts to do things that will make them stand out.. After my kid read it, we talked about it and found this book really helps. Maureen brooks VA,U.S.A
Browbeaters! They come in many shapes and sizes. Their behavior can have lifelong effects .Their cruelty have been known to cause loneliness, unhappiness, fear, anxiety, low self esteem, depression and even the death of most teenagers. But who are these people? They are all around us: in our schools, our malls, our jobs and even in our homes.Have you ever wondered why some people find pleasure in bullying others? Have you ever wondered why there is so much hatred in the world? And have you ever wondered why some people even take their own lives because of this societal ill?
One of the main reasons for the creation of the False label series is to help free people from the shackles of fear, insecurity and stronghold that has held them back for so long, so that they can give themselves permission to own their excellence and live up to their highest potential. Bullying is by far one of the ways that bullies use to stick false labels on their prey. While some people know how to deal with it, others unfortunately do not. Thus, the need for “An Insight Into The Life Of A Browbeater”, which takes a closer look at the bullying problems not only from the victim’s point of view as has been the case in the past ,but indeed focus more deeper on the bullies to find out the reasons for their actions. The author did this by way of one- on- one interview with some ex-bullies who were kind enough to open their lives to her and the readers of this book in such candid ways. Amongst other things were the bitter lessons they learned, some of which amazingly changed their lives forever, transforming some into motivational speakers and advocates for a more peaceful and bully-free world for all. The victims on the other hand shared with her the impact bullying had on them or their family members.
Of particular value is the "Rewind" section which encourages writing and keeping a journal. This makes the book more interactive and meaningful. The exercises guide readers through learning about their own feelings, dreams, and needs--while stressing that they are responsible for their own behavior and happiness. She further encourages readers, bullies or not, to use the great talents and gifts God has blessed all of us with to do good things instead of wasting time hurting others .
The author believes strongly that bullying can be stopped if we start solving the problem from the roots--- from the bullies themselves, hence the reason to get deep into the minds of the bullies. The book ends with some soul searching “Take Home Words To Ponder” and very refreshing words of prayer.
“You only get back from the universe what you invest into it. In other words, we should treat others the way we will like to be treated”.
