Video reels based on the book, Who Me…A Victim?
As a professional writer, speaker, and funeral celebrant, I’m exposed to many walks of life, thinking styles, and behavioural modes. Over years of observing these close-up, I discerned a common mode which can loosely be called victim-thinking and it is so common it’s become part of our social structure, supported by society. I realised I too was a victim-thinker, had been since childhood, and that it is virtually impossible as a victim-thinker to see this in yourself. It led me to twelve years of research and the writing of a book, Who Me…A Victim? These reels are based on that book. Each of these reels is a stand-alone point of view, but if you watch them in order, you’ll find that the questions which arise naturally are answered as you go along.
