How to Not Die Alone

Pages : 352
Book Description
A “must-read” (The Washington Post) funny and practical guide to help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams. Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives—they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love. Drawing from years of research, behavioral scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury reveals the hidden forces that cause those mistakes. But awareness on its own doesn’t lead to results. You have to actually change your behavior. Ury shows you how. This “simple-to-use guide” (Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone) focuses on a different decision in each chapter, incorporating insights from behavioral science, original research, and real-life stories. You’ll learn: -What’s holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern) -What really matters in a long-term partner (and what really doesn’t) -How to overcome the perils of online dating (and make the apps work for you) -How to meet more people in real life (while doing activities you love) -How to make dates fun again (so they stop feeling like job interviews) -Why “the spark” is a myth (but you’ll find love anyway) This “data-driven” (Time), step-by-step guide to relationships, complete with hands-on exercises, is designed to transform your life. How to Not Die Alone will help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.

Pages : 244
Book Description
"How You and Your Partner Can Become A Super Couple: Vol. 1 Functioning." is a self-help book for couples and marriages. It covers five areas of couple/marriage interpersonal interactions: (1) communication, (2) negotiation, and expressing (3) anger, (4) sexual and (5) loving feelings. There is didactic material on each of the five topics and then there are experiential activities or exercises for couples to do, in order to improve their relationship. The Introduction describes the "blame game", which is an obstacle to improving couple relationships. On the other hand, if couples can stop blaming each other and get to work on their relationship, they may improve it in these areas. This book has step-by-step instructions for doing activities in the five areas. There are specific instructions for doing about ten activities or exercises in each of the five areas. They are derived from my doing these activities with couples in my practice of couple/marriage therapy in the past fifty years. The instructions have been tested and refined in my couple workshops and in my practice of couple/marriage therapy. What I learned, for the most part, was what these couples taught me. Of course, I read books, took workshops, and had supervision of my work. The interplay of being in a couple relationship, going to my own personal couple therapy, doing couple therapy with other couples, and then thinking and reading about couple relationships and couple therapy helped me refine my own understanding of couples--impressing me with what worked to deepen the intimacy of couples and what did not work. This book is an end result. My formulations of guidelines for couples were further tested and refined when I trained graduate students for thirty years in the Marriage and Family Therapy Training Program of the Blanton-Peale Graduate Institute (Institute of Religion and Health) in New York, NY. I not only had to articulate my theories and techniques for the students, but also had the opportunity to see how the application of them by the student-therapists helped their couples or did not help. Thus, I've worked directly with hundreds of couples and marriages and indirectly through my supervision of students with thousands of couples and marriages. Two Partners Can Become a Super Couple A super couple has an intimate coupling, which is a close, personal, emotional, sexual relationship between two specific adults. They have a live, healthy, growing relationship. It is an emotionally, mentally, and physically challenging relationship, in which the two partners feel satisfied and fulfilled. They feel maintained and sustained by each other and their relationship. Each gives to the relationship and each receives from it. A super couple has skills in five areas: o They talk with each other about their thoughts, opinions and beliefs. They communicate well, even if they disagree. o They negotiate decision to do something, and move toward win/win solutions in which one partner convinces the other to change his or her mind, o Their sex life is satisfying and fulfilling for both of them. Sex as well as friendship and companionship are ingredients of an intimate relationship. o They face the inevitable frustrations by expressing anger constructively so that they do not "fight dirty," are not mean to each other, and do not turn their partner into an enemy. o They add icing to the cake by expressing their loving feelings explicitly. This Book Guides Couples in Becoming a Super Couple This book is a comprehensive and systematic do-it-yourself training manual, or guide, for partners. As they go on a journey together, I invite them to take ten weeks to read this book and do the exercises. They can choose to continue as they have been in the past or to make changes. If they decide to make changes, they might think of me as their tour guide. I will suggest some new ways for them to be together; I will direct their atte

Marriage Meetings for Lasting Love
Author: Marcia Naomi Berger
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1608682242
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Most couples — because they watch so many of their peers divorce and are themselves the products of failed marriages — don't have many successful long-term-relationship role models. Parenting and communication issues are perennial, while some challenges, like increasingly 24-7 work lives and economic hardships, mark the current decade. Despite all this, psychotherapist and clinical social worker Marcia Naomi Berger asserts that most couples can make love last — they just need to learn how. Berger answers this need with a deceptively simple prescription: have an interruption-free thirty-minute (or even shorter) meeting each week and follow an agenda that includes the kind of appreciation and planning for fun that foster intimacy and pave the way for collaborative conflict resolution. Berger has refined these techniques while working with hundreds of couples — with results that are both practical and profound.

Smile! It's not just the end of your marriage, it's the beginning of your second chance!Missy Benson has a two and a half carat diamond engagement ring with color grade H, VS2 clarity and a value of $36,000. It's absolutely gorgeous, practically flawless, and let's be honest, really big!But what the successful Chicago realtor doesn't have anymore is a husband. After 12 years of marriage, her husband, Paul, a handsome, wealthy attorney has devastated her by breaking up their marriage for Priscilla Sommerfeld, a young, personal trainer, who according to Missy's sassy assistant, J.J., looks more like a Las Vegas stripper than a fitness expert.Not sure what to do with her ring, and with no financial issues to worry about, Missy decides to put it up for sale on Craigslist. The price: 99 cents! The catch: She gets to pick the buyer. In essence, she's looking for the perfect guy, but not for herself. Her hope is to regain faith that good men do exist, and that marriages can last forever.Now referring to herself as "the divorced girl," Missy interviews dozens of young men who are vying for the huge ring. It's a contest that includes outrageous characters, hilarious and sentimental stories, and two finalists, both of whom Missy adores and who she must choose between. Then there's Parker Missoni, the sexiest contestant by far, who drives her crazy with his brutal honesty, and at the same time stops her heart with his deep brown eyes.Divorced Girl Smiling is the story of a woman's journey to do whatever it takes to heal herself from divorce. It's about acceptance, reflection, taking accountability for mistakes, and appreciating all of life's wonderful gifts. In other words, if you have the guts to put the past behind, admit your mistakes, embrace your future, and give love another chance, you will surely be a divorced girl smiling.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
Author: Mark Manson
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 006245773X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller Over 10 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
