There are some stories that haunt you forever. Stories that shatter the illusion that childhood is a time of innocence and protection… Some children are born into nightmares. Where the people meant to protect them are the ones who hurt them the most. Where survival isn’t about scraped knees or childhood fears, but about enduring unspeakable cruelty. These are the worst cases of child abuse ever documented. And once you know them, you can’t unsee them.

What if everything you were told about ADHD was wrong? For decades, society treated ADHD as a disorder—something broken, deficient, or in need of medication.

“We don’t repeat toxic relationships by accident. We do it to finish a story that never had an ending.” For years, Anton believed he was just “unlucky” in love. Until he realized he wasn’t choosing partners—he was choosing patterns. In this raw, unflinching memoir-meets-manifesto, Anton Volney unpacks how we unconsciously chase emotionally unavailable people not out of desire, but out of damage. Raised on conditional love, many of us learn to equate intimacy with suffering. Permission to Be Powerful explores why we keep running the same love story—with different names—and ...

Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend changed my life. It’s not just about saying “no”—it’s about owning your life. Boundaries are the invisible force fields that define who we are, what we allow, and refuse to tolerate. They determine our relationships, our self-worth, and ultimately, our destiny. Yet, many of us were never taught how to set them. Instead, we were conditioned to believe that being “good” means being endlessly available. That saying “yes” when we want to say “no” makes us kind, loyal, and loving. ...

In this volume our authors and their characters share their stories.

2 a.m. I landed on a fresh r/AskWomen post with a deceptively simple question: “Ladies, what’s something someone did in bed that made you feel truly seen and not just ‘used’?” By sunrise the thread had mushroomed into a living anthology of tenderness. No Kama-Sutra pretzels. Just story after story of microscopic gestures that thundered through women’s nervous systems and rewired their idea of love.

EDITOR’S NOTE: I have some excellent boundaries that few know about. They’ve saved me so much time, energy and stress. Boundaries keep you safe. They protect your peace of mind. Use these 50 boundaries and watch your life transform for the better!

Autor irrepetible, forjador de un nuevo modo de ver y contar, maestro del cuento, la literatura en Chéjov se filtra en cada palabra que esculpía, más allá de su obra de ficción: "la literatura es mi amante". Amor, vida y literatura. Eso es lo que el lector disfrutará con esta compilación de cartas y aforismos en los que la figura de Chéjov aumenta, crece y nos atraviesa porque quizá no haya mejor lectura que internarse en la mente, en las palabras secretas, en la sensibilidad de un genio.

I Offer It to You includes a reading of the eponymous prayer followed by beautiful piano music based on an original composition of Frederic Chopin. The piano composition includes Nocturne in E Major, Op. 62 No. 2 - Lento. The uneasy start of this nocturne shatters the melody nervously before picking up the broken thread a moment later. The agitation soon subsides, however, giving way to the principal melody. This comes about in a wondrous and beautiful way.

You keep telling yourself that you aren't getting shit done because you procrastinate. Or because you're lazy. Not true. The real problem is that you're scared. At least, that's the conclusion I came to. Here's my full breakdown.
