NICK VUJCIC — the most famous motivational speaker, director of the non-profit organization Life Without Limbs, created to help people with disabilities. He was born without arms and legs, but he is completely independent and lives a full, busy life: he has completed two higher educations, writes on his computer at a speed of 43 words per minute on his own, surfs, plays golf, enjoys fishing, swimming and even diving from a springboard into the water. Nick travels around the world a lot, inspiring millions of people, talking about how to overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams. He lives in Southern California with his wife Kanae and son Kyoshi.
Nick Vujicic has experienced firsthand what it's like to be persecuted and insulted: without arms and legs, he has been ridiculed and bullied more than once. But he has always been able to deal with his opponents.

become a nightmare for your stalker;

be the master of your own life.
Nick Vujicic's protection system
Abusers can't harm me or change my self-image, because it's only me who forms it. I know who I am and what I'm doing.
I don't let anyone ruin my mood. I'm responsible for my own happiness.
My values are unwavering. I have a life plan based on them.
I draw my strength from within, and no stalker can shake my confidence.
I know my family and friends will support me. And I'm always ready to support them.
I'm aware of my emotions, especially my anger and fear. I control my reactions to them and maintain a positive attitude in my thoughts and actions.
My spiritual life is wide and deep. I know I'm built for a high purpose. God loves me just the way I am. Where I am weak, my Creator is strong.
I find positive aspects to every difficult situation — even persecution.
I try to help others at every opportunity, especially those who are bullied of any kind.

I am happy to present you the book by Taras Ivashchenko, a friend and consultant on our website mobbingu.net, a certified psychotherapist from Riga, and his colleague, certified psychologist Natalia Morozova, “The Chameleon Girl. Living with a mental illness and a history of recovery.” The hard copy of the book was published in Latvian by ZvaigzneABC and received good reviews from experts and readers. And now the book is available in Russian on LitRes.
The scientist draws very interesting analogies between the behavior of different
vertebrate species and Homo sapiens behavior, which is why the book was
published in the “Library of Foreign Psychology” series. Claiming that
aggressiveness is an innate, instinctively determined property
all higher animals, and proving this with plenty of convincing examples,
the author comes to the conclusion: “There are good reasons to consider intraspecific
aggression is the most serious danger facing humanity in
modern conditions of cultural, historical and technical development.”
Marina Solomonova, owner of the Dickens and Marianna (Books and Postcards) shop room (St. Petersburg), talks about new children's books about Stalinist repression on the Rara Avis website.
Dear parents! I would like to introduce you to Samokat's wonderful graphic book “The Volcano That Was Angry” (2020). The author of the text and drawings is Natalya Baiduzha, a designer and illustrator from Siberia. Age marking 0-3.4-6. I am very closely researching new children's books that raise the topic of aggression and bullying. And not all books appeal to me, and I don't want to talk about them all. But I immediately became interested in Vulcan, although it is for children of an age I don't work with. I looked at it carefully several times and figured out how parents or caregivers could “work” with her.
Nikolai Gogol's novel “The Overcoat” for the first and probably the last time in Russian literature depicts the image of a persecutor/mobber who repented of abusing his colleague at the workplace.
