For every woman who wants to know what her man is thinking. Internationally syndicated radio superhost and columnist, controversial psycho-therapist, and author of the break-out New York Times bestsellers How Could You Do That?! and Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives, Dr. Laura Schlessinger is back with Ten Stupid Things Men Do to Mess Up Their Lives. In ten vital, compelling chapters, Dr. Laura speaks her mind on: Stupid Chivalry By getting involved with the wrong woman (weak, flaky, damaged, needy, desperate, stupid, untrustworthy, immature, etc.) you think that your love will save/transform her. Stupid Independence Unwilling to admit "need" for bonding and intimacy, you hide in excesses of work, play, drink, drugs, porn, and meaningless sex. Stupid Ambition Unable to comfortably and proudly accept your inherent importance to society and family as husband and father, you bow to the false idols of money, toys, power, and status. Stupid Strength Uncomfortable with feeling weak, vulnerable, useless, powerless, or rejected, you use intimidation, force, or passive-aggressiveness to regain control. Stupid Sex Taking an attraction, opportunity, or erection as a "sign," you measure your masculinity and power by sexual conquests, infidelities, and orgasms. Stupid Matrimony Lacking a mature sense of the purpose, meaning, or value of marriage, you realize too late you've gone down the aisle with the wrong woman for the wrong reasons and feel helpless to "fix it." Stupid Husbanding Thinking that marriage is the honorable discharge from loving courtship, you continue to live as though you were single and your "mommy-wife" will take care of everything else. Stupid Parenting Believing that only women/mothers nurture children, you withdraw from hands-on parenting to assert your masculine importance, missing out on the true "soul food" of a child's hug. Stupid Boyishness Having not yet worked out a comfortable emotional and social understanding with your mother, you form relationships with women that become geared to avenge, resolve, or protect you from your ties to Mommy. Stupid Machismo Understanding the true and meaningful difference between being male and a man, you can become a man.

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.

For the first time, all the pieces of The Secret come together in an incredible revelation that will be life-transforming for all who experience it.

Elaine Sihera's New Theory of Confidence©, developed over the past 20 year, is based on hundreds of confidence quiz analyses together with the results of a more recent online survey of hundreds more. Dr. Sihera takes a familiar, but highly misunderstood term, and explains it in a simple way that allows anyone to understand themselves and their routine behaviours, especially how much their level of confidence dominates how they see the world, react to it, and affects their treatment of others. She deftly demonstrates the origins of Confidence, how it is boosted, maintained, and lost; how routine habits actually reduce, or increase, its level, and its true power over self-esteem. Gradually, and with numerous examples, she skilfully reveals how Confidence profoundly influences everything we do, even without us realising it.There is something for everyone among the pages, including:* The three key drivers that maintain, and destroy, Confidence;* The importance of childhood experience, and subsequent relationships, in the development of Confidence;* How Confidence mirrors self-esteem;* The strong influence of Confidence on personal achievement; * When, and how, we actually lose Confidence;* Why the usual confidence tips that focus mainly on 'positive thinking', and changing specific actions, won't really help;* The quiet way Confidence controls intimate relationships, and gradually obstructs them;* How negative perception, and striving for perfection, can damage Confidence permanently. Readers will also learn about the crucial role confidence plays in personal perception, assertiveness, achievements and success, and in the quality of relationships,, as reflected in personal decisions, choices, and the language they use. By the end of the book, readers can expect a deeper understanding of the nature of confidence and should feel more knowledgeable and empowered to apply it beneficially to their own lives. There are also three self-assessment quizzes and a summary of the latest online Confidence survey analysis.Not a book to be missed!
