Dating a Widower: Starting a Relationship with a Man Who's Starting Over by Abel Keogh

>> Saturday, April 4, 2015


Dating a Widower is your 101 guide to having a relationship with a man who’s starting over. It also contains over a dozen real life stories from women who have gone down the same road you’re traveling. It’s the perfect book to help you decide if the man you’re seeing is ready for a new relationship—and whether or not dating a widower is right for you.



Are you thinking about dating a widower? Your new relationship will have unique challenges you won’t find when dating single or divorced men. For it to work, the widower will have to put his feelings for his late wife to the side and focus on you. But how do you know if he’s ready to take this step?



Drawing on his own experience as a widower who’s remarried, Abel Keogh gives you unique insight into the hearts and minds of widowers, including:



* How to tell if a widower’s ready to make room in his heart for you



* Red flags that may indicate he’s not ready for commitment



* How to handle family and friends who aren’t supportive of the widower’s new relationship



* Tips for dealing with holidays and other special occasions

Stranger in the Guest House by Sharlene Scott Levin

>> Thursday, March 26, 2015


Stranger in the Guest House is the author’s true story of tragedy to triumph.

Sharing what she experienced, Levin hopes to show other survivors what grit and

perseverance can do to change a person’s life for the better. Facing emotional, physical,

mental, and financial loss, Levin finds her own voice, and credits the small child within

for keeping her alive.



Sharlene Scott Levin was born in South Africa, and by four days old, was placed in the hands of an unqualified doctor and his “baby yard.” Adopted by a wealthy and detached couple, Levin’s life was filled with torment and abuse. While her birth mother insisted Levin be placed in her birth father’s traditional Jewish roots, the upbringing she faced was littered with deception and lies. The pattern continued when Levin married an abusive man, whom she wondered if it wasn’t a marriage of convenience with a “price.” Levin faces loss repeatedly, but none more devastating than the death of her third child, whom she credits for removing the shroud from her eyes, and becomes the catalyst for Levin’s rise of courage and determination. Levin would need both to face the wrath of her abusive parents and husband, the attempt by her father to strangle her, and the financial ruin she would face after her father’s death.

Levin shares her story to help other people recognize the need to find their truth, to move beyond the obstacles placed by uncaring and selfish individuals, and to live life the way it is meant to be lived.

Red Flags of Love Fraud – 10 signs you're dating a sociopath by Donna Andersen

>> Saturday, March 7, 2015


Charisma, charm, so much in common and sexy too - is your romantic interest a dream date, or a sociopath? Millions of these social predators live among us, and they don't look or act like serial killers. Rather, they present themselves as the love you've been waiting for all your life. This book identifies the clues and patterns of behavior that may indicate your partner is actually an exploiter.



You're in a romantic relationship. It started out as a whirlwind of attention and affection, but now you have a gnawing fear that something is terribly wrong.



Or you were in a relationship that was verbally, emotionally, financially or even physically abusive. That person is gone now, but you still don't know how you fell into it, and you're scared it will happen again.



Or someone you care about is hooked up with a partner who worries you. You can't understand how your friend or relative got involved, and why he or she doesn't leave.



In all of these situations, the person causing the problems may be a sociopath. No, sociopaths are not all deranged serial killers. But they are the most destructive people on earth—and few of us know they exist.



Red Flags of Love Fraud explains exactly what a sociopath is. It outlines the top 10 warning signs of sociopathic behavior, and what you should do if you see them. You'll learn:



• Why sociopaths seem to be your soul mate

• The real risk of online dating

• How sociopaths seduce you

• Why there's no such thing as "just sex"

• Why you can become addicted to a sociopath

• How to end the relationship safely

• How to protect yourself from human predators



Donna Andersen, author of Red Flags of Love Fraud, based this book on her personal experience—and on the experience of thousands of people who recounted their involvements with sociopaths in two Internet surveys. It is the most comprehensive description of sociopathic relationships ever produced. And in explaining how sociopaths seduce their targets, and why people fall for the deceit and manipulation, Andersen draws upon the work of top experts in the field.



Red Flags of Love Fraud tells you, in clear, straightforward language, how to spot and avoid sociopaths. If you've already tangled with one of these social predators, the book will show you that you're not alone. And it will help you understand what happened, so that you are never victimized again.









About Donna Andersen


Donna Andersen is author "Love Fraud—How marriage to a sociopath fulfilled my spiritual plan." She is also author of Lovefraud.com, a website and blog that teaches people how to recognize and recover from sociopaths. Her new book is "Red Flags of Love Fraud—10 signs you’re dating a sociopath."



Donna learned about sociopaths the hard way—by marrying one. James Alwyn Montgomery, originally of Sydney, Australia, met her and quickly proposed in 1996. In two and a half years, Montgomery defrauded her of $227,000, cheated on her with at least six women, fathered a child with one of them, and then, 10 days after Andersen left him, married the mother of the child. It was the second time he committed bigamy.



This man had no conscience, no empathy and lied prolifically—which Donna learned, far too late, were the cardinal signs of a sociopath. In 2005, Donna launched Lovefraud.com to educate the public about this destructive personality disorder.



Lovefraud.com now receives almost 2,000 visits every day, and is considered the best source on the Internet about sociopaths. Donna has collected more than 3,000 cases of people targeted by sociopaths, and the Lovefraud blog has evolved into a healing community of survivors. Donna receives many e-mails thanking Lovefraud for saving their lives.



Donna has worked as a freelance copywriter since 1983, and was the original editor of Atlantic City Magazine from 1978 to 1982. She graduated summa cum laude from the Syracuse University's S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications in 1978. While at college she co-founded a student magazine and worked at the student newspaper, the Daily Orange.

Models: Attract Women Through Honesty by Mark Manson

>> Tuesday, February 24, 2015


Models is the first book ever written on seduction as an emotional process rather than a logical one, a process of connecting with women rather than impressing them. It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer.











About Mark Manson


Mark Manson is from Austin, Texas, USA and graduated from Boston University in 2007. He began coaching men informally that same year, taking them out to local bars and helping them approach attractive women.



Mark founded Practical Pick Up in 2008 and has since worked with hundreds of men in 12 different countries and four different continents. He’s given over 40 public presentations worldwide and has been interviewed for news shows and magazines.

In 2011, he changed his business to PostMasculine.com to change his focus away from simply meeting and attracting women and to help with life’s issues at large.



Mark currently lives a mobile lifestyle traveling and residing across the globe. He can be reached at mark@postmasculine.com.

More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory by Franklin Veaux

>> Tuesday, November 25, 2014


A long-awaited, wide-ranging resource exploring the often-complex world of living polyamorously.



Highlighting the nuances, the relationship options, the myths and the expectations, the authors share not only their hard-won philosophies about polyamory, but also their hurts and embarrassments, while gently guiding readers through the thorny issues of jealousy and insecurity.



From Ancient Greece through the many dynasties of China to current practices of non-monogamy, people have openly engaged in multiple intimate relationships. Not until the late 20th century, however, was a word coined that encapsulated the practice, as well as its philosophies, edicts and ethics: polyamory (poly = many + amore = love).



For Franklin Veaux, who has been polyamorous for his entire adult life, the emerging framework and subsequent vocabulary for his lifestyle was a light in the dark. Candidly sharing his experiences and thoughts online catapulted his website morethantwo.com, among the first dedicated to the poly lifestyle, to one of the top-ranking on the subject.



In recent years, as more people have discovered polyamory as a legitimate and desirable option for how they conduct their relationships, Franklin and one of his partners, Eve Rickert, saw that there was a growing need for a comprehensive guide to the lifestyle. More Than Two is that guide.



This wide-ranging resource explores the often-complex world of living polyamorously: the nuances (no, this isn t swinging), the relationship options (do you suit a V, an N, an open network?), the myths (don't count on wild orgies and endless sex but don't rule them out either!) and the expectations (communication, transparency and trust are paramount). More Than Two is entirely without judgment and peppered with a good dose of humor. In it the authors share not only their hard-won philosophies about polyamory, but also their hurts and embarrassments. Living poly is not always an easy road, and they hope that by reading this book, you'll avoid some of the mistakes they've made along the way.



Challenging the notion of what society considers a healthy and successful relationship, they offer up personal stories from their own lives as well as of those in the wider poly world, emphasizing that this lifestyle choice isn't for the noncommittal. Polyamory is all about the relationships and the individuals participating. Charting a Relationship Bill of Rights, the authors underscore the importance of engaging in ethical polyamory and guide readers through the thorny issues of jealousy and insecurity with the aim of encouraging readers to work consistently and conscientiously on both their relationships and themselves.



And no, they're not trying to convert you: they know that polyamory isn't for everyone. Veaux and Rickert simply provide those who might be embarking on this lifestyle or those who have always known they are poly with a set of tools and many questions to help them make informed decisions and set them on a path to enjoying multiple happy, strong, enriching relationships.



More Than Two is the book the polyamory community has been waiting for. And who knows? It may just be the book you didn't even know you were waiting for.









About Franklin Veaux


As a child, I heard a fairy tale about a princess forced to choose between two handsome princes, and thought, “Everyone knows princesses live in castles. And castles are big enough for both princes. So why does she have to choose?” I have been writing about polyamory since 1998 at morethantwo.com, one of the top-ranked sites about polyamory on the Web. I currently have five long-term partners and live in Portland, OR.

The Eggshell Landing: Love, Death and Forgiveness in Hawaii by Christina Grof

>> Saturday, September 6, 2014


"Christina Grof offers us a beautifully crafted and moving memoir of transformation

of family at the end of a life, of unconsciousness and abuse, understanding and

redemption."--Jack Kornfield, author of A Path With Heart



"Christina Grof offers us a beautifully crafted and moving memoir of transformation

of family at the end of a life, of unconsciousness and abuse, understanding and

redemption."

--Jack Kornfield, author of A Path With Heart

The Eggshell Landing takes us to the warm breezes and flower-lined lanais of Hawaii, where Christina Grof was raised by her mother and stepfather. There was much joy and adventure in her childhood, but also dark secrets and enduring pain. Now her abusive stepfather is dying of malignant melanoma in Honolulu. Should she confront him about her conflicted difficult memories? Should she stay silent? Maybe just write him a letter? Or should she go back to the islands, support him and help to create a loving atmosphere for his last months? What would you do? The Eggshell Landing is a miraculous story of forgiveness and redemption. The hard-shelled man who drank and acted inappropriately toward his daughter is not someone for whom we would envision redemption or compassion. Christina Grof's experiences with her dying stepfather will surprise you and perhaps even change your attitude toward forgiveness.

Christina Grof is a teacher, artist, and author of The Thirst for Wholeness; she is the founder of the Spiritual Emergence Network, co-creator of Grof Transpersonal Training and Holotropic BreathworkTM and recipient of three honorary doctorates.
