This book is my personal story, my journey through life. I am
writing it despite what I read somewhere that it's not good to
write about oneself. But how can I write about things I haven't
experienced firsthand? The most difficult thing that has happened
to me in my life-divorce-also brought about the best things. I
discovered my own lifestyle-the happiness lifestyle. Maybe all that
is needed is a change of viewpoint and an understanding that if two
people are not headed in the same direction, it might be time to
part ways. Peacefully, lovingly, and with nothing but the best
wishes for the other person. I am writing this story for those who
are looking for happiness, searching for it themselves, or those
trying to deal with their relationships. I am also writing it for
myself. I am closing a chapter of my life, and I am assessing its
worth. I will write about my experiences, wins and losses, and
maybe through them you will realize what you want and don't want in
your life and those things that influence us in life. Sometimes it
can be some small thing, and sometimes something more serious, that
will be reflected in our subconscious. This negative information
about ourselves then influences us on our journey through life and
will trap us in certain models of behavior. My story is about
searching for my own path. Despite being divorced, I am fully
supportive of the family life, and that it is an arena of freedom.
What do you think gives us freedom? For me personally, it is being
able to speak the truth and have open communication. Thanks to
these two things I am able to grow, and the same goes for the
people that I am communicating with. We give each other an
opportunity for change. If we are not communicating openly and are
keeping our emotional wounds to ourselves, maybe we are destroying
a prospective relationship. Yes, I know, you need two to tango.
Where is the best place to start? With yourself. No one will teach
you how to live a happy life. We learn from our parents. Without
even knowing it, they are showing and teaching us models of
behavior, whether they are negative or positive. But as children,
we're not able to recognize what these are, and we accept
everything that we see and also what we feel. In January 2005, I
laid hands on Virginia Satir's book Conjoint Family Therapy. As
early as 1970, Virginia Satir was describing how we could live
freely within our families. Yes, we could, if we knew how to
communicate truthfully and openly, without fear, without anger, and
without hurt. My divorce mobilized all the inner power and skills I
had that I was unaware of until then. It was a valuable part of my
journey of finding myself This path began sometime during this
period. In the two years leading to my divorce, I felt as if I was
buried alive. Do you know that feeling? We can all decide whether
we want to live again and cherish every minute of life. I decided
that I did. This book is comprised of three parts: part 1 is my
very own story; part 2 talks about ways and methods that have
helped me; part 3 allows space for creation of a happy life. It is
an interactive e-book, so whichever way you choose, you will always
find something new. After clicking on the green words, you will
find more information on the topic. You can enter all your
additional inquiries into Google. "Don't believe a word I say." Let
the book inspire you. Examine and discover your lifestyle-the
happiness lifestyle.

'Through her courageous resistance, she has, for a moment, drawn
global attention to the ongoing struggle of Saudi women. The
striking image of a young woman, wielding nothing but a cellphone,
facing down the force of an oppressive government is an apt
metaphor for this fraught moment in Saudi Arabia's history.' THE
WASHINGTON POST A gripping true story of bravery and sacrifice by a
young woman whose escape from Saudi Arabia captivated the world. In
early 2019, after more than a year of careful planning, Rahaf
Mohammed boarded a plane and finally escaped from Saudi Arabia. If
caught, she was sure she would be killed, like other rebel women
who had tried to flee her country's oppressive regime. But the
eighteen-year-old only made it as far as Bangkok before her
passport was taken away. It was a trick, and soon she found herself
trapped, barricaded in a hotel room. As men pounded on her door,
the teenager decided to reach out to the world on Twitter - and the
world answered. Her account gained forty-five thousand followers
overnight and offered her a vital lifeline. This was Rahaf's chance
at a new life, the one she had dreamed of. Now Rahaf tells her
remarkable story for the first time and reveals the dystopian
reality of what life is like for women within Saudi Arabia. From
the guardianship system, which places unmarried women under the
full control of their male relatives, to the secretive online
underground network of Saudi runaways plotting their escape, Rebel
is a gripping memoir of resistance and bravery by a woman
determined to tell the truth about life in the closed kingdom.

An engaging, alternative history of the world for children, which
helps to make sense of today. The present can loom very large in a
child's mind: all the crises and challenges of the modern world can
feel overwhelming and at times dispiriting. This book is a big
history of the world, from the beginnings of the universe to now,
which places the reader at its centre. It encourages them to think
about how and why they experience the world as they do and offers a
helpful perspective by placing their thoughts and feelings in the
context of our history and evolution. Big Ideas From History is an
immense story of what has happened through time that speaks
personally and constructively to a growing mind. What might the
dinosaurs or the ancient Egyptians, the Aztec warriors or the
Enlightenment thinkers of the 18th century tell us that could be
interesting and useful to hear now? The insights we need are
scattered in time and place, waiting to be discovered. The book
also looks to the future and asks the reader to imagine a world
they would like to live in. What might they learn from
self-knowledge? How can they grow, develop and create their own
place in history? It is a thoughtful and inspiring introduction to
the world around us, which encourages the child to engage with
themselves and others through history.
