Modern women - who use psychotherapeutic antidepressants at a rate never before seen in history - need liberating now more than ever. The truth is, feminists don't know what liberation is. They have led us into a very boring dead end. Once those fictionalized stereotypes are out of the way - whether they're things that make you gag or things you think look pretty fun - Christians can focus on real women. What did God make real women for?

You want your man to be strong, competent, and devoted to giving you what you need to feel happy, secure, and loved. Yet if you are like most women, you are doing things that ensure your man never steps up in the way you want. You may be enabling and even encouraging him to remain passive, self-interested, irresponsible, and undevoted. Many of your innocent, and even loving behaviors and words are pushing your man away and preventing him from being the man you need him to be. This book will put an end to that forever.

Fascinating Womanhood for the Timeless Woman holds the position that most cultures have lost the sense of ascendancy that comes from proper cultivation of femininity and masculinity in women and men, respectively. This book teaches that femininity inspires a noble masculinity in men and that it empowers and liberates women to pursue their greatest potential. It is not merely a book of personal or moral opinions. It’s based, in part, on modern science, over 50 years of teaching experience and feedback, and, most importantly, results.

Where are our people? The answer is found in Belong, a highly energetic guide to discovering where and with whom you fit.

Based on her popular Modern Love column, Sara Eckel’s It’s Not You challenges these myths, encouraging singletons to stop picking apart their personalities and to start tapping into their own wisdom about who and what is right for them. Supported by the latest psychological and sociological research, as well as interviews with people who have experienced longtime singledom, Eckel creates a strong and empowering argument to understand and accept that there’s no one reason why you’re single - you just are.

Story
Superheroes don't start from glorious beginnings. Their origins are almost always marked by traumatic events that leave them helpless and scared. Batman witnessed his parents' murder. Superman was sent away from his dying planet with no one to guide him as he grew up. Orphaned Catwoman was forced to steal food to survive on the streets of Gotham. What makes these superheroes super is their determination to not be defined by helplessness. They embrace their origins, their flaws, and their mistakes and strive every day to become the best versions of themselves.

Very little helpful advice, mostly personal anecdotes and lots of 3rd wave feminism preaching
Nicely written, and pleasant to listen to however… The title seemed to imply a more traditional classic how-to-be-lady-like-with-a-modern-twist coaching type of read. I was hoping for practical insights to help me in my journey, but instead was blind sided with lgbt stories, 3rd wave feminism, and political beliefs shoved down my throat. I kept thinking that “well, I’m not sure why all these other things are in this book, (that’s not what I’m looking for in this kind of book) but maybe its just this one chapter”… But it just keeps going. Any actual advice is mostly run-of-the-mill sad to say.

So much fluff
Should maybe be classified as a memoir because it talks so much about the authors personal relationships and then to add to the confusion: a risotto recipe. I couldn't even finish it on audio.
