Lanie Stevens - 2013
You don't need to read and memorize a book that is 200 pages long for it to be effective. You don’t need to dress in sexy lingerie, be a femme fatale or force yourself to love and participate in shooting pool or hunting wild animals to win or keep your man's affection. You don’t need to change who and what you are to attract a man, keep a man or get him to change. ALL you need is this short instructional guide with my “secret technique” to have him eating out of the palm of your hand ANYTIME you want. Unlike most “self help” books that give you a laundry list of ways you can change to “attract” and keep a man this book will give you a technique that is simple, fast and powerful. It is not a “flirting” technique or a kinky “sexual” position…it is an amazing technique that will literally allow you to control your man’s behavior. That’s right…control his behavior and therefore his thoughts, actions and deeds. Anytime you want! I know this sound too good to be true but it is true. I assure you that there is no way you can understand how powerful this technique is until you try it and then you will be amazed at how fast it works. It is truly magic! This “secret technique” is so powerful that I do not want ANY men to ever read this book! If I could prevent men from buying or reading this book I would do it in a heartbeat. There are certain secrets that women should never divulge to men and this is one of the most powerful. I have used this technique for years and have seen it work in a matter of minutes. I used it on my ex-boyfriend John and if it can work on a stubborn, non-believing, narcissist like him it will work on ANY MAN. A friend used it on her boyfriend to get him to tell her the truth and all he kept saying was "I don't know why I am telling you all the things that I am telling you!" He meant it! He had no control over what he was doing because she controlled his actions. I love books like "Why Men Love Bitches" and "The Power of Pussy" but this book will give you a technique that is unique and powerful....a technique you can use any time, any place and on any one. Go ahead, "Pussy Whip" your man and have him love every minute of it! Lanie Stevens is also the author of: Lustful Lanie Book One Lustful Lanie Book Two Lustful Lanie Book Three

The Art of Showing Up: How to Be There for Yourself and Your People
Rachel Wilkerson Miller - 2020
What’s more, we’re living in an uncharted social landscape with new conventions on how to relate—one where actual phone calls are reserved for Mom (if anyone), “dropping in” is unheard-of, and “flaking out” is routine.The Art of Showing Up offers a roadmap through this morass to true connection with your friends, your family, and yourself. Author Rachel Wilkerson Miller teaches that “showing up” means connecting with others in a way that makes them feel seen and supported. And that begins with showing up for yourself: recognizing your needs, understanding your physical and mental health, and practicing self-compassion. Only then can you better support other people; witness their joy, pain, and true selves; validate their experiences; and help ease their burden. When “showing up” for others, it’s not the grandest gesture that matters most—it’s how close you come to meeting your loved ones where they really are.

Ali Binazir - 2010
So here's the 3-word summary for ya: BE THE LIGHT.What does that mean? Well, 5000 or so letters I've received from women readers on their dating woes can all be boiled down to this: Does my butt look good in these pants?Well, okay, sorta. What they're really asking is Am I enough? Well, are you? Answer: Wrong question!. Because that's not a game you can win! Focus on this question instead: How can I make the people around me feel like a million bucks?How to Generate the Love You Want Instead of Waiting for It to HappenBecause at any point in life, you have the option to elevate those around you -- with a look, a touch, a phrase of praise, genuine appreciation. Hey, love what you've done with that outfit. That was a great book! Learned so much. Thanks for that fabulous home-cooked meal!When you appreciate and elevate others, they light up. And because we're hypersocial, empathic beings equipped with mirror neurons, YOU light up, and everyone notices: Who is that glow-in-the-dark girl? I want to be around that!Now, you've got a crowd gathered around you. Lonely no more! And instead of coming from a place of lack or need, you're coming from abundance, joy, and choice. A much stronger starting point for any relationship.But most important: Butts and butt fashions change. The power to elevate, on the other hand, is power that cannot be taken away from you.

Why I wrote this book: When I was an advisor at Harvard, I noticed that smart women like yourself were having unfulfilling love lives on an epidemic scale. They either couldn't find the right guy, were with the wrong guy, had relationships that didn't last, or had given up on dating entirely. I wrote this book to remedy the situation.This is not your grandma's dating guide. Partially because I'm not your grandma, and partially because the 21st century poses unprecedented challenges to the modern woman. Is there time for love within a high-powered career? And nowadays, lots of guys are less educated and affluent than you. What to do? I give you tips on how to handle all that.Ancient Wisdom + Modern Science = lasting love + happiness for successful women like yourself. This is a heart-centered, science-based, practical guide to finding fulfillment in your love lives and far beyond, all through a series of small, simple steps that put the fun back in dating.
