    About this ebook

    In order to understand and prevent suicides, we must begin to explore the topic with a new perspective and spirit of hope. In Suicide - Fast or Slow, part of the GET A GRIP series, therapist and author Derek O’Neill shares knowledge gained from 20 years of working with suicidal clients and their families, to offer a powerful guide for support and healing.

    Looking at both the internal and external influences that can steer a person to considering ending their life, Derek offers deep examination of the human psyche, along with practical insight and tools to avert suicide.

    Suicide - Fast or Slow touches on what to look for when someone has been experiencing deep depression, the factors that are contributing to the rise in youth suicide, how to move through the intense feelings and many other aspects surrounding this urgent subject. This book provides a valuable resource for anyone who has been touched by suicide.

An Irish-born spiritual teacher who inspires and uplifts people from all walks of life, offering guidance to influential world leaders, businesses, celebrities, athletes and everyday people alike. Distilled from his life work, martial arts career and study with wise yogis and Indian and Tibetan masters, Derek translates ancient wisdom into modern day teachings to address the biggest challenges facing humanity today. Through his books, workshops, speaking engagements and humanitarian work, Derek empowers others to increase their Spiritual Quotient and activate their highest potential, so they can bring harmony, happiness, and success back into their personal and professional lives. Inspired by his world travels, he formed SQ Foundation, a charitable organization focused on helping communities in need. In recognition of his work, Derek was honored as Humanitarian of the Year and named International Celebrity Ambassador for Variety International Children’s Charity. He is founder and CEO of SQ Worldwide LP, a multifaceted wellness company committed to teaching individuals and corporations how to use untapped potential to transform themselves and the world around them.

      Dedication

      To all who read this book, I salute you for wanting to change the way you live for the better and for having the courage to be who you are as fully as possible.

      To all who encourage me everyday to keep going and sharing their lives with me, family small and large. But most of all the little angels who came to teach me – Alexa and Blake, my grandchildren.

      Everybody hurts sometimes, and when we do it is nice to have Derek O’Neill around. His excellent little books on the things that get us, (fear, anger, depression, victimhood, mental blocks) allow us to find our way safely through our psychological minefields and arrive safely at the other side. Read them when you need them.

The tools that I offer in this book have worked not only for me, but also for hundreds if not thousands of other people. I have shared these ideas and techniques in my workshops, one-on-one sessions, video and radio broadcasts, and on my website, and I have witnessed astounding results time
