It is possible to break free from our self-made prison. The power we possess is already within us just waiting to be unleashed. An imprisoned mind is the limited existence of our lives. It really doesn't matter if you are physically behind bars or not, everyone is a prisoner to something. A limited mindset tells us we cannot break free from our negative situations. We are hostages to the departure from rational thought, a condition created by a series of failures and abuses from others. A total lack of understanding of how our thinking is shaped from childhood until we are adults can cause us many problems throughout our lives. This book contains life lessons from one who was incarcerated for many years, not only physically, but mentally as well. With an easy to follow guide outside of complicated jargon and terms, JD Rutherford brings this deep knowledge of inner understanding and puts it into a language all can understand.

You may go through a point in your journey in life when you feel trapped inside your mind. The insecurities, self doubt and everything else that could go with it, pile up, and somehow you find yourself imprisoned inside your own mind.

Chasing their goals, ambitions and everything else along the way. Life is a journey of continuity with no preconceived idea of a final destination.

“Transfixing…[Wayne’s] prison diary is, above all, a testament to the irrepressibility of his charisma—his is a force that can never go dormant, even when it’s not plainly on display.” –The New Yorker From rap superstar Lil Wayne comes Gone ’Til November, a deeply personal and revealing account of his time spent incarcerated on Rikers Island for eight months in 2010. In 2010, recording artist Lil Wayne was at the height of his career. A fixture in the rap game for more than a decade, Lil Wayne (aka Weezy) had established himself as both a prolific musician and a savvy businessman, smashing long-held industry records, winning multiple Grammy Awards, and signing up-and-coming talent like Drake and Nicki Minaj to his Young Money label. All of this momentum came to a halt when he was convicted of possession of a firearm and sentenced to a yearlong stay at Rikers Island. Suddenly, the artist at the top of his game was now an inmate at the mercy of the American penal system. At long last, Gone ’Til November reveals the true story of what really happened while Wayne was behind bars, exploring everything from his daily rituals to his interactions with other inmates to how he was able to keep himself motivated and grateful. Taken directly from Wayne’s own journal, this intimate, personal account of his incarceration is an utterly humane look at the man behind the artist.

Best Book of the Year – Bloomberg News A resilient Turkish writer’s inspiring account of his imprisonment that provides crucial insight into political censorship amidst the global rise of authoritarianism. The destiny I put down in my novel has become mine. I am now under arrest like the hero I created years ago. I await the decision that will determine my future, just as he awaited his. I am unaware of my destiny, which has perhaps already been decided, just as he was unaware of his. I suffer the pathetic torment of profound helplessness, just as he did. Like a cursed oracle, I foresaw my future years ago not knowing that it was my own. Confined in a cell four meters long, imprisoned on absurd, Kafkaesque charges, novelist Ahmet Altan is one of many writers persecuted by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s oppressive regime. In this extraordinary memoir, written from his prison cell, Altan reflects upon his sentence, on a life whittled down to a courtyard covered by bars, and on the hope and solace a writer’s mind can provide, even in the darkest places.
