Wicked Games and Wasted Years Part 1: Every woman has her breaking point by Amanda Schiller (7 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Get ready to be gaslit and triggered. Based on a true story, this novel is about the torment of narcissistic abuse. What was once categorized as women's fiction, and as a psychological thriller, is now being acknowledged for what it truly is. This novel is a fictionalized memoir about me, a woman, trapped in my own mind by a cruel covert narcissist. This story follows the life of Sara when she meets the narcissist, the love of her life. It was at a time when she was still reeling over her brother's death, but trying to move on with life when she meets the charismatic, hilarious, attentive, where have you been all my life, Brandon. They marry quickly, and Sara's reality begins to unravel immediately. Each chapter encapsulates Sara's mass internal conflict as she's gaslit by her husband over and over and over, until she almost breaks. You will experience how the narcissist unravels the mind as a master gaslighter. But the wicked games don't end there. Witness how even at her breaking point, the narcissist knows just how to manipulate Sara with new games. But Sara never asked to play. And she doesn't know how to win. With a dreadfully impactful ending, this story explores how the narcissist aims at winning their evil game as they stare their victim in the eyes as they teeter on the edge. Even after the end, you'll be asking yourself, is this a game with only losers? Part 1 is not about overcoming narcissism, but focuses on the parts of us that die off from the crushing weight of narcissistic abuse. If you have ever wanted a deeper understanding of gaslighting, the forms it can take on, and how expertly the narcissist can switch up masks and level up their manipulation, this book is definitely for you.

Social Exclusion in Later Life: Interdisciplinary and Policy Perspectives (International Perspectives on Aging Book 28) by Kieran Walsh (Springer) (5 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Drawing on interdisciplinary, cross-national perspectives, this open access book contributes to the development of a coherent scientific discourse on social exclusion of older people. The book considers five domains of exclusion (services; economic; social relations; civic and socio-cultural; and community and spatial domains), with three chapters dedicated to analysing different dimensions of each exclusion domain. The book also examines the interrelationships between different forms of exclusion, and how outcomes and processes of different kinds of exclusion can be related to one another. In doing so, major cross-cutting themes, such as rights and identity, inclusive service infrastructures, and displacement of marginalised older adult groups, are considered. Finally, in a series of chapters written by international policy stakeholders and policy researchers, the book analyses key policies relevant to social exclusion and older people, including debates linked to sustainable development, EU policy and social rights, welfare and pensions systems, and planning and development. The book's approach helps to illuminate the comprehensive multidimensionality of social exclusion, and provides insight into the relative nature of disadvantage in later life. With 77 contributors working across 28 nations, the book presents a forward-looking research agenda for social exclusion amongst older people, and will be an important resource for students, researchers and policy stakeholders working on ageing.
