FREE EBOOK ON DEALING WITH NARCISSISTS
This month, I’ve launched a second ebook! This time with co-author Betsy Wuebker of Passing Thru. The new ebook is The Narcissists: A User’s Guide.

(You can get more details here or download it right now here.)

It’s free!

Betsy and I had our fill of emotional predators, narcissistic types, and users from earlier life experiences. Perhaps you have one of these types in your life right now:

• Do you feel like you’re the one who is always wrong?
• Do attempts to set boundaries only meet with disdain and anger?
• Are new suggestions shot down or sabotaged?
• Do attempts to withdraw from the relationship create more firestorms of drama?

Having dealt with the drama queens, pouting doubters, and bullying beraters who pull people down, we put all that hard-won information in a resource that answers such questions as:

• What creates a narcissistic personality?
• Why can involvement with a narcissist hurt you?
• Questions you can ask someone to help determine if they are a narcissist.
• What can I say to set a boundary with a narcissist?
• Is the price of caving in worse?
• Why do some people seem immune to narcissists?

And unlike many online ebooks, ours is professionally designed by top-notch web and ebook designer Deborah Dorchak of Sirius Graphix — total thumbs up and endorsement for Deborah and Sirius!

FRIENDS AND MARTIAL ARTISTS
I’ve met some great martial artists online — Deb and Neil Jeffreys. Their site helps beginners find their way in the martial arts at taekwondo-information.org. I’ve written a bit more about them in my post, Go Beyond Think Like a Black Belt to Being One.

Deb graciously let me write a couple of articles for their site. One is on rape self defense (mega must-read!) and one is self defense for females.

100 SELF DEFENSE TWEETS
For a couple months on Twitter, I posted self defense tweets. (–That means pithy insights into self defense thinking in 140 characters or less!) They are all archived on my self defense site here. They are also a great resource for anyone who teaches self defense classes or needs to create a self defense class syllabus.

A post on all my top articles and posts
