I wrote this book out of a broken heart due to what's happening here and in other parts of the world. It feels like there are too many cases where people are getting hurt or even killed, or facing terrible injuries, just because they had an interaction with the police. We can fix this problem by making some changes, both for the police officers and the people in the community. If the police give clear verbal instructions and allow enough time, the person they're dealing with is more likely to cooperate and not resist arrest. This can help prevent police brutality and save lives. However, if the person still resists arrest despite the verbal orders, the police can use a Taser instead of resorting to deadly gunshots to protect lives. Police can also use techniques to de-escalate situations without anyone getting hurt. "Regardless of a person's skin color, ethnicity, gender, or where they live, no one should have to die, be treated brutally, or face permanent injuries just because they had an encounter with the police, and this includes police officers themselves."

This is not your grandma's burnout book. How many times have you been told to just stress less and your burnout will be cured? How well has that worked? How long did it actually work for? In When What Gives Way to Why, Rebecca Claeys explores her personal journey through burnout after taking part in the COVID-19 pandemic response. She digs into why popular wisdom on treating burnout doesn't produce lasting results, and most people slip back into the spiral of fatigue and hopelessness over and over. Rebecca uses her experience and knowledge as a Registered Nurse to analyze the root cause of burnout and details the recovery method she developed in response to her own ordeal. Her method, the Soul Alchemy Cycle, is focused on finding true healing rather than the standard practice of treating symptoms. Rebecca's unique perspective on the word purpose is the key to lasting transformation. By redefining the word and how it is used in self-help circles, readers will discover how viewing the world through a slightly different lens opens up a world of freedom and authenticity. This journey empowers the reader to embrace their personal purpose, providing them with a framework that guides future decisions and buffers them from falling back into burnout.

This book delves into the dark legacy of Ervil LeBaron, a notorious cult leader known as the Mormon Manson, who orchestrated a reign of terror during the 1970s and 80s, leading to an estimated thirty-three deaths across the United States and Mexico. The author seeks to rectify past misrepresentations surrounding Ervil's narrative, which have largely focused on genetic predispositions to insanity, unfairly stigmatizing his numerous descendants. Through a personal lens, owing to familial connections and firsthand encounters with Ervil since 1963, the author reflects on the situational factors and external influences that propelled a devoutly religious individual to morph into a mass murderer. This account is presented as a factual elucidation devoid of speculation, aiming to untangle the complex web of circumstances surrounding Ervil's descent into homicidal madness, a journey the author personally witnessed and, at one point, became perilously entangled with before a revelation led to a decisive disassociation.Further, this book underscores a critical examination of the broader phenomenon of religious fanaticism and its calamitous outcomes, as epitomized by Ervil's case. It illuminates the toxic synergy between charismatic yet abusive leaders and their blindly obedient followers, whose combined fervor culminates in unspeakable atrocities committed in the name of divine sanction. By dissecting the anatomy of such destructive cult dynamics, the author endeavors to foster a deeper understanding among readers, urging them to maintain their individuality and critical thinking to avoid falling prey to or becoming enablers of such devastating mass movements. Through an introspective and historical lens, this narrative seeks not only to set the record straight about Ervil LeBaron's life and crimes but also to elucidate the perilous allure of fanatical allegiance in hopes of preventing similar tragedies in the future.
