Invincible : the 10 lies you learn growing up with domestic violence, and the truths to set you free / Brian F. Martin.

Martin, Brian F. (Author).

Summary:

According to UNICEF, growing up with domestic violence is one of the most pervasive human rights violations in the world, affecting more than a billion people. Yet, too few people are aware of the profound impact it can have. Invincible seeks to change this lack of awareness and understanding informing and inspiring anyone who grew up living with domestic violence--and those who love them, work with them, teach them, and mentor them. Through first-person stories, including the author's own experiences, as well as insightful commentary based on the most recent social science and psychology research, Invincible not only offers a deeper understanding of the concerns and challenges of domestic violence, but also provides proven strategies everyone can use to reclaim their lives and futures.

Brian F. Martin grew up living with domestic violence. The impact of this experience lasted into adulthood but his quest for answers to long-unasked questions eventually led him to a revelation: the unlikely gifts and hidden truths that the experience gave him—and has given the hundreds of millions of who have lived through the same circumstances.

By rejecting the lies that he believed throughout his life, he set himself on a course to reach his full potential. He founded several multimillion-dollar global businesses, built a healthy and strong body, cultivated a confident mind-set, forged loving relationships, and developed a deep connection with his children.

In 2007, he founded the Childhood Domestic Violence Association, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting and supporting anyone who grew up living with domestic violence.

Brian and his work have been featured in New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Forbes. He has testified before Congress, appeared on national television programs including Dr. Phil, and produced the award-winning documentaryThe Children Next Door.

He was born outside of Newark, New Jersey, and lives there today with his two most favorite people in all the world: his daughter, Ella, and son, Frank.
