It's time to regain your power because they took it until you had nothing left.

For those who wouldn't have given you a tissue if you were dying on the ground, you have bled. You've invested your time, effort, and loyalty, and all you've received in return is silence, guilt, or crumbs. You have a gut feeling that something is wrong, but no one has ever given you the words to describe it.

So far.

Not simply another self-help book, Givers Bleed, Takers Feast: The Unspoken Battle Between Selflessness and Greed is a wake-up call. It serves as a survival guide for a society that exploits goodwill and confuses it with weakness. This isn't about becoming resentful or frigid. It's about becoming wise, establishing limits, and prioritizing peace over appeasing others.
