Fine unread condition gold boards, dark blue spine and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Dave Pelzer; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Epilogue; About the Author and Keynotes. "I know something about resilience. For the first twelve years of my life I was subjected to practically every form on continuous physical and psychological torture you could imagine. I should have died. After I was rescued from my alcoholic mother and fortunate enough to be placed in the care of others, there were a few who boasted that because of my extreme situation I would either end up dead or in prison -- the odds against me were insurmountable. I newer saw it that way. If I learned anything from my unfortunate childhood it is that there is nothing that can dominate or conquer the human spirit. This is the essence of the message I wish to present to you." - From Help Yourself and the rear outer jacket. "The New York Times bestselling author of A Child Called "It," "The Lost Boy, and A Man Named Dave takes the lessons he has learned from the struggles in his life and puts them into this inspiring self-help guide. As more than two million readers have learned from his three previous books, Dave Pelzer doesn't believe in feeling sorry for himself. Abused mercilessly by his mother as a child, Dave has taken everything that happened to him and turned it into something positive so that he can help others. Now happily married and with a child of his own, he celebrates the twin pillars of strength that saw him through his darkest hours -- resilience and gratitude. And he shows how anyone can tap in to these virtues to live a better and more fulfilling life. How as it possible for him to overcome such insurmountable odds? How can others who face overwhelming odds become all they wish to be? In Help Yourself, Dave Pelzer answers these questions and explains how anyone can move beyond a painful history, harmful negative thoughts, and innumerable setbacks by urging readers to take control and be accountable for their lives. Filled with his own history as well as examples of others who have dealt with their own struggles, Help Yourself is a rousing call to readers who want real answers to real problems. From a man who willed himself to overcome the worst life had to offer and became the best he could be, comes this inspiring book for helping yourself." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…

Store description
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
