Asking for help is only the first step Jennifer can’t go on like this—binging, purging, starving, all while trying to appear like she’s got it all together. But when she finally confesses her secret to her parents and is hospitalized at the Samuel Tuke Center, her journey is only beginning. As Jennifer progresses through her treatment, she learns to recognize her relationships with food, friends, and family—and how each relationship is healthy or unhealthy. She has to learn to trust herself and her own instincts, but that’s easier than it sounds. She has to believe—after many years of being a believarexic. Using her trademark dark humor and powerful emotion, J. J. Johnson tells an inspiring story that is based on her own experience of being hospitalized for an eating disorder as a teenager. The innovative format—which tells Jennifer’s story through blank verse and prose, with changes in tense and voice, and uses forms, workbooks, and journal entries—mirrors the protagonist’s progress toward a healthy body and mind.

Wealthy people study wealth! Life without reading books is like jogging while dragging a car tyre. Ideas in this book could save or make you Millions, Some readers already have. "Success is a choice, Make it yours", Buy this book today :-)There are many books about making money but like my rich uncle used to say, those who tell don't know and those who know seldom tell. That is why this book is a bit different, there is as many ways to make wealth as there are people on the planet and so why would telling you the way that suited me best help you? The fact is that most people read or at least buy one of these books the way some people might buy a lotto ticket. They don't really think it will win but they are prepared to pay a few dollars for the dream that all their money problems will be over this week if they read the book. I understand how attractive that sentiment is and if you want to add my book to your collection of money success dreams and have it sitting on your shelf unread for years, that is up to you. In reality most of the books on the market about how to make money, are written by people who really don't understand how they made it and that is why they can not teach you to do the same. If I won the lotto, do you really think I could write a book teaching you how to win at the lotto..... No I could only teach you how to buy a ticket and play the game. I can teach you the odds and some tricks or tips to getting cheaper tickets but the bottom line is that if you win or not, is not in my control or yours.Learn the simple rules to succeed with the three pilars of lifeHealth InvestmentsHappiness The three real pillars of True wealth, without a good measure of all 3 you will have none, all have some simple but not always obvious rules that when followed lead easily to wealth of all kinds. The way letting go at the top of a slippery slide leads to the bottom with great ease and lots of fun as long as you follow the rules and don't fall off on the way down. Most people imagine wealth the other way around where if they do the hard work they can climb to the top of some financial ladder? That is why they are always working very hard and wealth eludes them.Learning the rules to any game will not make you an expert and wealth is the same, it is not a theory that is understood intellectually, it is a Lifestyle that needs to be understood by living it. You live the wealthy lifestyle when you have no money and by practice you will become better at it and eventually have lots of all 3 Pillars of Wealth. Imagine any game, you can not play the game until you learn the rules but it is only when you step onto the field and apply the rules in faith that you start to really understand them and profit by them. Wealth is the same, you can be very wealthy at any financial level but the last thing a person with money problems needs is more money!!I actually wrote this for my children or unborn heirs, so they could learn directly from me how I changed my fortunes to retire at 25 years old. All the wealth I give my children is in this book and for a very small investment I am giving it to you, what they or you do with it is up to you. I genuinely did not write this to make money but to help other people find there freedom, I am a very open book and I talk about many of the issues that have effected the people I have advised over the years. So if this book helps you, track me down and send me an email, I am always up for a chat about important things that help peoples lives be Happier, Healthier and Wealthier.RegardsPeter
