THE DAILY MONITOR: “How to identify gas-lighters in your life and stop them.” I love that this Ugandan independent daily newspaper quoted my book:
They will shut you down as soon you start to speak. And you fear to express your opinion unless it agrees with theirs. You are always wondering, “What will they think of this?” You fear them so much you would rather have peace than confront them. Helen Smith, in her book, Men on Strike: Why Men Are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood, and the American Dream – and Why It Matters, writes, “Women are verbally more skilled and ready to manipulate others using these verbal skills. Men are not taught how to fight back verbally nor do they often want to; for some time, it is not their nature.”

BOOK UPDATE: I am still reading parts of Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body and trying to take the advice. The book said if injured to try taking a walk everyday so I have done a daily walk for three days. I cut out the yoga and barre classes this week and went to a manual myofascial release session and focused on a few exercises from the book and am about 90 percent better. Most of my problems are repetitive use injuries from working out and sitting too much. My next step is to get my posture evaluated as the book suggests and hopefully, this will help with the other 10%. (Bumped)

NOW OUT: Neck & Neck (Earl Town Book 3).
BOOK REVIEW: I got my book Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body in the mail yesterday and read part of it last night. I must say, for the price, it is a large book full of information and clear pictures of exercises that make them fairly easy to replicate. The book came at a good time as I did three yoga classes last week (what was I thinking?) and pulled my back muscles out. For the last two days, I have been limping around and trying to figure out how to get better. The book goes through reasons that you pull muscles and takes a different twist on how to fix them. It gives specific exercises for problem areas and helped me re-think how I was doing some of my stretching. For example, I was using a foam roller between my shoulder blades and the book said to strengthen your lats, roll your forearms going forward on the foam roller instead. I tried it and it really helped. I definitely think the book is helpful and would recommend it if you want some new and perhaps better ideas about how to relieve pain and fine-tune the workouts you already do.
If you ordered or have read the book, let us know what you think. (Bumped)
