Lighting the Blue Flame

"Welcome to my last day. I am Joshua McKenzie, 16 years old. "I fluctuate between an internal rage at the ones I blame for me feeling like this, and sadness for myself for not being able to do anything about it. "I'm not really scared, just sort of numb, sadness overwhelms me, no one has been there for me and no one is going to be there for me now. I loop the noose; I kick the chair. Fade to black…" Joshua has been bullied to the point of suicide and in his final act wants those he feels are responsible to make things right. Share the journey of those left behind to deal with Joshua's suicide and come up with solutions to prevent this from happening to others.

Live Your Life like You Have Lived It Before

“As a qualified psychotherapist, coupled with resilience developed through lived experience, I have read many complicated academic books and felt there was a need to write a simple one accessible to all and easy to understand and apply in practice. My book is like giving a stranger the holy grail of knowledge to enable them to change their thinking and improve the quality of their life today. Most importantly, for people to not make the same mistakes I made, which have consequences and impacts on leading a fulfilling and successful life. I also wanted to write a book that, as well as being easy to read, quickly and at any time, when life becomes difficult, can be used as a pocket-reference book and effective mental toolbox. Live Your Life like You Have Lived It Before is a book about being given the information and knowledge amazingly and powerfully right now before you start your life so you don’t make the same mistakes made by countless people all over the world.

“By exploring our world as we grow up, we learn by our mistakes, some which are vital and have consequences that affect the rest of our lives. Wouldn’t it be amazing to have lived your life like you have lived it before? This book is a practical guide on how to become successful and not make those errors and fall into the trap everyone else does, which ultimately results in failure and unhappiness.”

Living With(in) Your Ends

Did you ever wonder why you see the world around you the way that you do? Ever wondered why you might see everything in your world as a means to an end? Why should you bother following the dictum to ‘live within your means’ when you haven’t even considered ‘living with or within your ends’? You might ask yourself: what is implied here by ends and by means, and why does the latter always seem to come before the former? After all, how do we end anything without a means for doing so? Living With(in) Your Ends provides a crutch for you to lean on while you ponder the means and ends within your life and the world around you. It guides you on how to maintain your true identity without getting ‘sucked into world of means’ where superficiality prospers.

Investigating human existence through a lens that values the present moment and which provides for practical consequences, Kevin M. Stevenson, PhD, provides an exploration into the deeper realms of perception and their relationships with time and identity. Living With(in) Your Ends not only provides a conceptual map to follow for leading an authentic life, it also considers some of the historical and philosophical notions that have blessed and plagued human existence. Living With(in) Your Ends will provide you with a framework for healthy reflection and increased awareness of the intersections between yourself and the world.

Be a Beacon of Hope in the World

Why does one youngster stab another with a knife which they will never, ever dare to stab themselves with? Why are our young people killing themselves without thinking of the pains and sorrow such barbarism and bestiality will leave their loved ones with for the rest of their lives? Why do some young persons—members of the same community—prey on one another with such jungle-like ferocity in the nation’s cities? Why are there now so many of such gruesome, purposeless, wicked and unwarranted killings in the nation’s cities as if Britain is now a land that devours its children? More worrisome is the fact that when they are hacked to death so young, what happens to their dreams, visions, goals and aspirations?Heart-rending as these painful questions are, Be a Beacon of Hope in the World: A Message to Young Britain does not attempt to offer answers to these puzzles arising from the untimely deaths of Britain’s children through knifings. However, it seeks to act as a guidepost, compass and a Sat Nav to point young persons in the right direction and on the path of civility, decency, common sense, humaneness and universal altruism, whereupon they are expected to have respect: for themselves, for others and for all of life’s forms. Therefore, let the alarm bell, which this book will trigger, warn all young persons in Britain and the world over that to live in the fast lane is to die young. Let this message reverberate through the vista of time.
