<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"When you grow up living with domestic violence, witnessing those you love tear each other down with physical and verbal blows, your brain doesn't know how to deal with that." --from the foreword by Tony Robbins <p/>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. <p/><i>Invincible</i> seeks to change this lack of awareness and understanding with a compelling look at this important issue, informing and inspiring anyone who grew up living with domestic violence--and those who love them, work with them, teach them, and mentor them. <p/>Through powerful first-person stories, including the author's own experiences, as well as insightful commentary based on the most recent social science and psychology research, <i>Invincible </i>not only offers a deeper understanding of the concerns and challenges of those who grew up with domestic violence, but also provides proven strategies everyone can use to reclaim their lives and futures. <p/>The author is donating all net royalties to the Childhood Domestic Violence Association.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"I have never shared the fact that I was a child of domestic violence. And, if I had not met Brian Martin, I don't know if I would have. What appeals to me most about Brian's approach is that it is based on empowerment. Our experiences as children living with domestic violence have given us the equipment--a secret weapon, if you will--to overcome all kinds of obstacles in our lives. It means we are <i>not</i> victims, we are victorious."<br>--Tony Robbins, bestselling author and Peal Performance strategist<br>"Attention-grabbing and revealing, giving us insight into the world of CDV. It will be a valuable tool for our staff and New York City's most vulnerable population--its children."<br>--Trevor M. Johns, acting associate commissioner, NYC Administration for Children's Services<br>"Martin's kindness shines through this book. And though many purported self-help books often have the stench of the obvious--House too cluttered? Throw out stuff! Overweight? Eat less, move more!--Invincible has the air of honesty and hard work, and the feeling of someone who wants to help. It is not easy reading. It is not pleasant reading. But for anyone who grew up in a violent household, it could very well be the most important reading."<br>--NJ.com<br>"After reading <i>Invincible</i>, I was struck by the sheer magnitude of children and adults whose lives are impacted by childhood domestic violence. The stories will touch your heart and make you aware of this huge crisis facing our children throughout the world."<br><i>--</i>Marlene Lund, executive director, Center for Urban Education Ministries<br>"Packed with inspirational stories of those who through courage and compassion have transformed their lives, this is a helpful book for anyone who grew up living with domestic violence. It shows that it is possible to overcome the obstacles of a childhood filled with violence and move forward."<br><i>--</i>Stephen Joseph, Ph.D., author of<i> What Doesn't Kill Us: The New Psychology of Posttraumatic Growth</i><br>"<i>Invincible</i> can be a catalyst for change in the lives of millions who grew up living with domestic violence, as it gives them a compelling roadmap on the journey to heal and attain the lives they were always meant to have. It is a valuable resource that can renew their hope and guide them on the path to reaching their full potential."<br><i>--</i>Caryl Stern, CEO of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF<br>"<i>Invincible</i> is poignant, challenging, illuminating, and compassionate--all at the same time. Brian does a fantastic job of illustrating points with real-life stories and a fresh perspective. The book goes way beyond describing the issue; it provides clear insight into the thinking and behavior patterns that result from these experiences. Readers are not alone."<br>--Chris Newlin, M.S., L.P.C., executive director, National Children's Advocacy Center<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Brian F. Martin</b> 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 that the experience gave him--and has given the hundreds of millions of who have lived through the same circumstances. <p/> 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. <p/> 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. <p/> Brian and his work have been featured in <i>The New York Times</i>, <i>USA Today</i>, <i>The Wall Street Journal</i>, and <i>Forbes</i>. He has testified before Congress, appeared on national television programs including <i>Dr. Phil</i>, and produced the award-winning documentary <i>The Children Next Door. </i> <p/> He was born outside of Newark, New Jersey, and lives there today with his two favorite people in all the world: his daughter, Ella, and his son, Frank.
