Dying to Live: From Despair and Death to Freedom and Joy: The Self-Empowerment Trilogy, Book 1

Many of us experience depression and fear more often than we would like to, and many of us feel dissatisfaction with the unhappiness or anxiety in which we habitually find ourselves, but we don’t know what to do about changing our mental condition and conditioning.

Dying to Live isn’t just a blueprint of a struggle toward maturity, it is a blueprint for the integration of body, mind, and spirit. It is the story of how weakness can become strength; how our limitations can be transcended as we learn to love and to trust ourselves and the other people in our lives. Tolly does not give us answers in Dying to Live; instead, he tells us about the answers he has found for himself. These can help and inspire others to find their own answers.

Recovery: Freedom from Our Addictions

This program is read by the author.

A guide to all kinds of addiction from a star who has struggled with heroin, alcohol, sex, fame, food, and eBay, that will help addicts and their loved ones make the first steps into recovery.

“This manual for self-realization comes not from a mountain but from the mud…. My qualification is not that I am better than you but I am worse.” (Russell Brand)

With a rare mix of honesty, humor, and compassion, comedian and movie star Russell Brand mines his own wild story and shares the advice and wisdom he has gained through his 14 years of recovery. Brand speaks to those suffering along the full spectrum of addiction – from drugs, alcohol, caffeine, and sugar addictions to addictions to work, stress, bad relationships, digital media, and fame. Brand understands that addiction can take many shapes and sizes and how the process of staying clean, sane, and unhooked is a daily activity. He believes that the question is not “why are you addicted?” but “what pain is your addiction masking? Why are you running – into the wrong job, the wrong life, the wrong person’s arms?”

Russell has been in all the 12-step fellowships going, he’s started his own men’s group, he’s a therapy regular and a practiced yogi – and while he’s worked on this material as part of his comedy and previous best sellers, he’s never before shared the tools that really took him out of it, that keep him clean and clear. Here he provides not only a recovery plan but an attempt to make sense of the ailing world.

Democracy: Stories from the Long Road to Freedom

From the former secretary of state and best-selling author – a sweeping look at the global struggle for democracy and why America must continue to support the cause of human freedom.

From the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union to the ongoing struggle for human rights in the Middle East, Condoleezza Rice has served on the front lines of history. As a child, she was an eyewitness to a third awakening of freedom, when her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama, became the epicenter of the civil rights movement for black Americans.

In this book, Rice explains what these epochal events teach us about democracy. At a time when people around the world are wondering whether democracy is in decline, Rice shares insights from her experiences as a policymaker, scholar, and citizen, in order to put democracy’s challenges into perspective.

When the United States was founded, it was the only attempt at self-government in the world. Today more than half of all countries qualify as democracies, and in the long run that number will continue to grow. Yet nothing worthwhile ever comes easily. Using America’s long struggle as a template, Rice draws lessons for democracy around the world – from Russia, Poland, and Ukraine, to Kenya, Colombia, and the Middle East. She finds that no transitions to democracy are the same because every country starts in a different place. Pathways diverge and sometimes circle backward. Time frames for success vary dramatically, and countries often suffer false starts before getting it right. But, Rice argues, that does not mean they should not try. While the ideal conditions for democracy are well known in academia, they never exist in the real world. The question is not how to create perfect circumstances but how to move forward under difficult ones.

These same insights apply in overcoming the challenges faced by governments today. The pursuit of democracy is a continuing struggle shared by people around the world, whether they are opposing authoritarian regimes, establishing new democratic institutions, or reforming mature democracies to better live up to their ideals. The work of securing it is never finished.

The Unfu*kwithable Life: 7 Codes to Embrace Connection and Vulnerability to Create a Life of Inspiration and Freedom

The Unfu*kwithable Life encompasses seven codes, each containing punchy lessons to reveal the power of vulnerability to enhance your existence. It gives you the tools to live a remarkable life, with fierce determination, inner peace, and strength while streamlining comprehensive concepts into simple actions steps and heart-warming wisdom. As you connect with yourself, you will be empowered mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Using the paradox of crude wit and compassion, this book forces you to become uncomfortably honest with yourself, then gently guides you to a place where you can shatter the limits you’ve been clinging to for comfort. It’s designed to teach the greatest lessons of self mastery and spiritual philosophy, through humour and straight shooting advice. It will trigger a force deep inside of you, that’s here for a spectacular reason. We are living in an age of addiction to short-term, instant stimulation and gratification, which is quite literally at our fingertips. This accessibility makes it difficult to change the shit that we don’t like about our lives because the stimulation acts as a numbing agent. It distracts us from the discomfort created by being inauthentic. It numbs the uneasiness enough for us to ignore the fact that we do not really know ourselves anymore, and as a result, we do not know what we really crave at a deeper level. Alas, we settle for much less than our soul desires. An unfu*kwithable life isn’t about being ‘tough’ so that no one can fuck with you. It’s about being connected to life and ourselves in a way that we are able to allow each and every moment seep deeply into our cells, our minds, our emotions, and our soul. It’s about surrender, vulnerability, grace, and courage. It’s about accepting our human conditions with unconditional love and stepping up to the task of spiritual expression by standing in our power. An unfu*kwithable life is one of emotional, mental, and, most of all, spiritual freedom.

Thomas Jefferson: 100 Quotes on Revolution, Determination, and Freedom

“No experiment can be more interesting than that we are now trying, and which we trust will end in establishing the fact, that man may be governed by reason and truth. Our first object should therefore be, to leave open to him all the avenues to truth. The most effectual hitherto found, is the freedom of the press. It is, therefore, the first shut up by those who fear the investigation of their actions.”
