It’s 2006. After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

The MANipulator manual. Keep your man interested and begging for more without playing games. So many women get in trouble in their love lives, and 99.9 percent of that trouble could have been avoided if they'd said "Well, f**k him!" a bit more often. Too many women are way too nice and compliant to their men, especially when these men don't deserve that kind of treatment. I, as a dating coach and author of books for women who want to get men, cannot take it anymore.

So Helpful With My Parents
When you're taking on the responsibility of looking for your elderly parents and are feeling a little overwhelmed, "Graceful Transitions: Navigating the Journey with Aging Parents" truly is like a lifeline. It's like to having a knowledgeable friend walk you through every step of the elder care process, from knowing the legal jargon to making sure your parents feel secure in your house. The book offers a wealth of techniques to help you with the emotional ups and downs that accompany caregiving in addition to the more practical issues like money and health.
The fact that this book contains anecdotes from actual life makes the advise interesting and relevant. Additionally very helpful in keeping you on track and organized even on difficult days are the checklists.
Though every scenario is distinct, the book offers a strong basis and a range of flexible techniques. It's a great place to start for everyone hoping to have a slightly smoother and happier caring experience.
