Written by a US military veteran, this children's audiobook, based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, will instill in children the answer to bullying, body-shaming, hate, and attacks on the self through daily affirmations. Author Mike Brown has learned many life lessons and hopes to convey some of those lessons acquired from public and private service in the Army, as a police officer, anger management specialist, nonviolent crisis intervention instructor, and educator, as well as the real-world wisdom accumulated so far, to everyone that listens to this audiobook. Teaching a sense of self-love as well as self-acceptance and giving a framework for both parents and children to help build their lives into sturdy and happy homes is his goal. What I Tell Myself First: Children's Real-World Affirmations of Self-Esteem is to listeners what the AED is to a heart: It instills the defibrillator of self-esteem so powerful for when times are tough and your mind is under attack. Mike hones in on his military past and the methodology behind why service members say creeds in various forms and military occupational specialties. This audiobook will serve its purpose not for when times are good, but for when times are bad, when one is on that dark road and it feels like no one is there. It will serve as the proverbial jump pack to the battery of the mind. Like the hug that you needed but did not get. Like the words you needed to hear but did not hear. This audiobook of reality-based daily affirmations is the "I wish I had this" of books. We must instill in our children the answer to bullying, body-shaming, hate, and attacks on the self through daily affirmations. A lot of adults have dark roads. Started from when they were young. The hug they didn’t get. The pain they didn’t learn to manage because mom and/or dad patched mostly all of their wounds and fought mostly all their battles. Travelling through life, hearing, "You’re fat." "You’re slow." "You’re not like us." "You’re ugly." "I felt disrespected when he said..." "No one loves me." "I fell for this person because I needed love. Who knew that he’d (or she’d) be..." "It’s your job to make me feel like..." "Why don’t you want me?!" If only we'd learn very early on that these things were our jobs to perform.

Did you know that NYPD stands for New York Police Department? Of course you did! But did you know that there was once a legendary detective named El Diablo whose out-of-control lifestyle included stealing a horse and carriage for a wild ride through Central Park? Or the rookie cop whose unusual talent of farting on demand disrupted the police academy? How about the handcuffed Houdini crackhead who escaped from the back seat of a police car? The New York City Police Department is the largest police agency in the United States, with over 35,000 members. A police force that large is going to have more than a few colorful characters and unbelievable stories. Retired NYPD Detective Vic Ferrari takes you behind the scenes as he peels back the onion, revealing the good, the bad, and the ugly of the New York City Police Department. The NYPD's Flying Circus picks up where NYPD: Through the Looking Glass left off in this controversial tell-all sequel. The NYPD’s Flying Circus is an introspective, behind-the-scenes look into the New York City Police Department. Cops, crime and chaos are sarcastically woven together through the eyes of a retired NYPD detective, exposing the funnier side of the NYPD—a fascinating history lesson wrapped in personal anecdotes covering a twenty-year law enforcement career. If you enjoy Live PD, are fascinated with police work, or ever wondered what it was like to be a member of the NYPD, you’ve picked up the right book.
