  This is a 15-book combo. These are the five subjects that are included: 
  Subject 1: Many people have wondered what bipolar disorder is or what the symptoms are. While starting out with these simple facts, this guide goes much deeper into the subject. It covers a wide range of subtopics that will help you understand the nature of the disorder better. 
  Subject 2: When it comes to Borderline Personality Disorder, many people are left in the dark. They still have questions about what it is, what makes it so attractive to start a relationship with a borderliner, or how it differs in men and women. 
  Subject 3: Many people try to get a grasp of what goes on in the mind of a serial killer. Today, we can at least show you a limited perspective and some solid insights in the workings of their brains. Their reasons, their background, and their murder stories will be exposed to a certain degree. 
  Subject 4: Are there sociopaths in your life? You bet! You may not recognize them, or they may not be serial killers. Perhaps they are not causing any trouble at all. But to know what to look for, is pretty important, if you ask me. It’s interesting that some people just don’t have that much of a conscience. And every person chooses how to deal with that differently. It can reflect on their actions in different ways. 
  Subject 5: If you’ve been looking for a book about narcissism, you probably already have an idea of what it is. Still, we’ll define it in this book before we start expanding on the intricate details of such a personality. In part, because there are so many myths about it and the term gets tossed around like a diaper into a trash been, while most people don’t realize what it is all about.

  The Silence Between Us is a raw and original double memoir tracing a mother and daughter as they try to understand and rebuild their relationship after the daughter's suicide attempt. 
   
  Because Oceane had just turned eighteen when she attempts to end her life, the hospital has to respect her request: to not notify her parents. But despite the distance between them, Cécile knows something is wrong with her fiercely independent daughter. As Cécile steps in to care for Oceane, the two reckon with things left unsaid and begin to rebuild a relationship that is both fragile and beautiful. 
   
  Years later, when Oceane asks her mother to write something with her about that time, she never expects Cécile to already have so many pages hidden away, filled with words that had helped her make sense of the grief. 
    
  In The Silence Between Us, Oceane pieces together her story through old diary entries, emails, hospital records and psychiatric reports, interspersed with Cécile's own accounts. Slowly, we learn about the traumas that forced the chasm between mother and daughter, as well as the college sexual assault that pushed Oceane over the edge. As Oceane lets Cécile back into her life and they attempt to negotiate both the mental-health and legal systems, we also see the fractures start to mend. 
   
  At once delicate, unflinching and surprisingly uplifting, The Silence Between Us is a unique story of mental health and family that dares us to say things we'd rather avoid.  
   
  Includes foreword by psychiatrist Patrick McGorry AO, Professor of Youth Mental Health and former Australian of the Year. 
   
   ‘An extraordinary and beautifully written book.' PATRICK McGORRY

  David listened to what the others said and thought for a few moments. He didn't often talk to the other boys about what he was thinking, but this time he opened his mouth and said, "I'm going to be a millionaire and retire by the time I'm forty!" David Bussau grew up in New Zealand boys' homes where expectations of the young men were grim. David shattered those expectations, emerging as an enterprising teenager running a rented hot dog stand. Numerous business ownerships and financial success followed, and with that success, a vision to provide natural disaster relief and aid to the poor in Australia, Indonesia, India, and beyond. Today David's work continues through Opportunity International, a worldwide aid organization that offers small business loans to help the poor start and grow their own businesses. Certain of his direction, this hero to the world's poor is looking ahead, using business to advance the kingdom of God.
