Help Yourself: Celebrating the Rewards of Resilience and Gratitude

Description

Dave Pelzer is on record in California for being the victim of one of the most horrific cases of child abuse and neglect in its history. Now Dave is happily married, a father himself, named one of the 10 Outstanding Young Persons in America, and a bestselling author. Many of the millions of people whom he has inspired with his personal story have asked, "How did you do it?" and "How can I do it too?" Dave answers these questions and more in the book his readers and others have been looking for. Help Yourself explains how anyone can get past negative thinking, a painful history, or seemingly insurmountable odds by remembering to take control and accountability for his life. Dave travels more than 250 days a year speaking to schools, child-care centers, corporations, community groups, and other venues about resiliency and believing in oneself. Filled with stories of people he has helped through his lectures and workshops, Help Yourself is a rousing call to readers who are tired of psychological platitudes and want real-life answers to some of the most difficult questions we face in our lives.
