Ninety-eight percent of men admit to having fantasies about someone other than their partner. Eighty percent of women do too! So where is the line? Infidelity is a far more complex psychological matter than just someone straying because they aren’t happy in their relationship. Regardless of your gender, sexual orientation, level of commitment, or type of affair, you will need help if you want to help your partner and yourself. It’s not going to be easy, nor should it be. But for anyone who is genuinely sorry and prepared to make the effort, nothing is impossible!

It’s time to stop second-guessing yourself and start building the qualities that will make you an authentic, amazing leader. In the past century, women have scaled new heights in the workplace. From working as clerks and secretaries in the 1950s, women today are now holding top positions in the world’s largest corporations. Yet, women remain vastly underrepresented in leadership roles, making up only five percent of Fortune 500 CEOs, and 10 percent of top management positions in S&P 1500 companies, despite accounting for 47 percent of the labor workforce.

The major difference between achieving people and average people is their perception of and response to failure. John C. Maxwell takes a closer look at failure - and reveals that the secret of moving beyond failure is to use it as a lesson and a stepping-stone. He covers the top reasons people fail and shows how to master fear instead of being mastered by it. Listeners will discover that positive benefits can accompany negative experiences - if you have the right attitude.

In The Masculinity Manifesto, author and podcaster Ryan Michler focuses on how a man can wield his power and lead others well with influence, credibility, and authority. Ryan refuses to accept the gradual and intentional decay of masculinity, instead he chooses to tackle the questions others are afraid to address.

Self-knowledge matters so much because it is only on the basis of an accurate sense of who we are that we can make reliable decisions - particularly around love and work. This book takes us on a journey into our deepest, most elusive selves and arms us with a set of tools to understand our characters properly.

Story5 out of 5 stars 194
Men are not the enemy, and masculinity, contrary to what much of popular culture would have you believe, is the solution to what plagues individuals, families, and society as a whole. In The Masculinity Manifesto, author and podcaster Ryan Michler focuses on how a man can wield his power and lead others well with influence, credibility, and authority. Ryan refuses to accept the gradual and intentional decay of masculinity, instead he chooses to tackle the questions others are afraid to address.

In Ancient Greece, when the philosopher Socrates was asked to sum up what all philosophical commandments could be reduced to, he replied: "Know yourself". Self-knowledge matters so much because it is only on the basis of an accurate sense of who we are that we can make reliable decisions - particularly around love and work. This book takes us on a journey into our deepest, most elusive selves and arms us with a set of tools to understand our characters properly.

Based on their workshops and counseling experience, psychologists Jane B. Burka and Lenora M. Yuen offer a probing, sensitive, and at times humorous look at a problem that affects everyone: students and scientists, secretaries and executives, homemakers and salespeople. Procrastination identifies the reasons we put off tasks - fears of failure, success, control, separation, and attachment - and their roots in our childhood and adult experiences.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Sometimes we have goals that are hard to reach, so hard in fact that it takes forever to get motivated to reach them.
Luckily this book breaks down your goals into each to reach challenges so that you get motivated and finally pursue your dreams and an aggressive and assertive fashion. It finally gets you off your feet to live life the way you truly desire.
The narration quality is also top notch, which helps keeps the book engaging throughout.

I was surprised. Most how to be a better person books are full of themselves, pretty lofty and laughable. This How to take control of your life by changing yourself on the inside is a refreshing take on getting your power back. It is a literal how to guide to get your confidence, relaxing in it and doing an honest self evaluation to keep your power. Very well done.

A Motivating Listen
Some time ago, I remember learning two very important lessons: make no excuses as well as take ownership of all that you do and that you are the leader of your life. Speaking more in the context of what one could become in when it comes down to reaching full potential for the future, one can always learn from their past, take rightful criticism as a means to improve, and strive to get better. Everyone might always see the world through their own personal lens and while it doesn't speak for everybody, the general rule stays the same. This book was a motivating listen that should be recommended to anyone starting out in the world and a desire to better their lives.

Reversing Negative Patterns
Wonderfully written book with the beginning teaching on how to reverse all of the negative aspects of early childhood teachings. It is not a simple thing to push aside all of the teachings that taught you to bow down or not stand up for yourself but it is well worth it to learn confidence and assertiveness if you want to succeed in life whether it be financially, romantically or both. I recommend this book if you like self help books because you really will learn something new about yourself.
I received this book for free upon my request but it has no bearing on my honest unbiased review that I am voluntarily leaving of my own volition.
