In this groundbreaking memoir, "My Darkest Hour: The Day I Realized
I Was Abusive," Harold L. Turley II goes beyond identifying
emotional, economical, and domestic abuse/domestic violence to
prescribing a course of action for both the victim and abuser.
Coupling stories of how Turley was abused and inflicted abuse upon
others, "My Darkest Hour "offers readers the tools needed to
recognize a problem in a relationship and how to transform it. His
testimony assures one that such a transformation is possible--given
the desire to want to change.
Turley also gives advice on how to avoid abusive situations and
different ways to channel one's anger. Combining practical
applications and Biblical scriptures with his trademark support and
assurance, Turley demonstrates how to empower oneself, release
abusive behavior, and change life for the better.
'Powerful, humane and wise' JULIA SAMUEL 'Everyone should read it'
NIGELLA LAWSON 'Beautiful ... This is a book for everyone. You feel
held by it' PHILIPPA PERRY Most of us have a conversation we're
avoiding. From the bestselling author of With the End in Mind, this
is a book about the conversations that matter and how to have them
better - more honestly, more confidently and without regret. A
child coming out to their parent. A family losing someone to
terminal illness. A friend noticing the first signs of someone's
dementia. A careers advisor and a teenager with radically different
perspectives. There are moments when we must talk, listen and be
there for one another. Why do we so often come away from those
times feeling like we could have done more, or should have been
braver in the face of discomfort? Why do we skirt the conversations
that might matter most? By bringing together stories with a
lifetime's experience working in medicine and the newest
psychology, Mannix offers lessons for how we can better speak our
mind and help when others need to. Kathryn Mannix's 'With the End
in Mind' was a Sunday Times bestseller the weeks ending 6 January
2018, 13 January 2018 and 3 February 2018.
'I loved this book.' MATT HAIG __________ If you have anxiety, this
book is for you. If you love someone who is anxious, this book is
for you. I Quit Sugar founder and New York Times bestselling author
Sarah Wilson has lived through high anxiety - including bipolar,
OCD and several suicide attempts - her whole life. Perhaps like
you, she grew tired of seeing anxiety as a disease that must be
medicated into submission. Could anxiety be re-sewn, she asked,
into a thing of beauty? So began a seven-year journey to find a
more meaningful and helpful take on anxiety. Living out of two
suitcases, Sarah travelled the world, meeting with His Holiness The
Dalai Lama, with Oprah's life coach, with major mental health
organizations and hundreds of others in a quest to unravel the
knotted ball of wool that is the anxious condition. She emerged
with the very best philosophy, science and hacks for thriving with
the beast. First, We Make the Beast Beautiful is a book with a big
heart, paving the way for richer, kinder and wiser conversations
about anxiety. __________ 'Probably the best book on living with
anxiety that I've ever read.' MARK MANSON, author of The Subtle Art
of Not Giving a F*ck
