Book Description
Forty-five-year-old actress Karrie Kline doesn't usually lose a lot of sleep over her age or her single status. But after one too many bridal showers, a notice on her apartment, an expired unemployment claim and her acting prospects drying up—too old to play the ingenue, too young for the role of matriarch—she's awake at 2:00 a.m. and determined to get perspective on her life. Starting with the men she's dated. From the man whose parents loved her more than he did, to the famous actor who had more bark than bite, Karrie traces back through her love life to uncover how her experiences have shaped her and how to find meaning in the past. Told with warmth, wit and poignancy, You Have To Kiss a Lot of Frogs shows how to face your memories—even the darkest, most secret ones—with courage, humor and hope.

Why is it that so many bright, attractive, clever and sensible women seem to fall for toads? They spend years searching, dating, cohabiting and marrying, just to find themselves right back at square one, heartbroken, despondent and vowing “never again”.

Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
The Enhanced Edition includes short-course videos by the coauthors for each of the twelve chapters of the book (total of 18.5 minutes).

Just like the lonely princess in the fairy tale who was reluctant to lock lips with a warty frog and transform him into a handsome prince, something stops many of us short of attaining our dreams. Our negative thoughts, emotions, and attitudes can threaten to keep us from achieving all that we’re capable of. Here bestselling author and speaker Brian Tracy and his daughter, therapist Christina Tracy Stein, provide a set of practical, proven strategies anyone can use to turn those negative frogs into positive princes. Tracy and Stein present a step-by-step plan that addresses the root causes of negativity, helps you uncover blocks that have become mental obstacles, and shows how you can transform them into stepping-stones to achieve your fullest potential. The book distills, in an accessible and immediately useful form, what Tracy has presented in more than 5,000 talks and seminars with more than five million people in fifty-eight countries and what Stein has learned through thousands of hours of counseling people from all walks of life. “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so,” the authors quote Shakespeare. The many powerful techniques and exercises in this book will help you change your mindset so that you discover something worthwhile in every person and experience, however difficult and challenging they might seem at first. You’ll learn how to develop unshakable self-confidence, become your best self, and begin living an extraordinary life.

Kiss Fewer Frogs

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
"This breakthrough book changes dating forever. Now you can find The One with your eyes wide open." -Jack Canfield, New York Times bestselling co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul® and The Success Principles™ Practical results-oriented guide to finding the right type of man for you - and weeding out the rest "Kiss Fewer Frogs: The Fast Track Secret to Your Fairy Tale Ending" What if you could skip all the bad dates and failed relationships on the way to meeting Mr. Right? What if you could recognize the men who are wrong for you within minutes of meeting them, rather than finding out months or years later? So many women date - and sometimes marry - the wrong man, missing opportunities for happiness and wasting time in the process. Now best-selling author James Sheridan shares a revolutionary new approach to fast-tracking relationship bliss - and short-circuiting heartbreak. After decades of success as a relationship coach and countless conversations with women in audiences around the world, Sheridan now shares the secrets that have changed the lives of thousands of women. "For both men and women," he writes, "romantic relationships are the foundations of a fulfilled life, so why should you go about getting one in such a haphazard fashion?" Based on years of research in psychology, science, and the principles of compatibility and chemistry, "Kiss Fewer Frogs" empowers a woman to identify which men are best suited to her and where to find him. Unlike generic dating advice, the core of the book digs deep into seven types of men: "genetypes" of behavior, personality, and character identified by psychologists, scientists, and even spiritual leaders. Which asset does each genetype bring into a relationship? What do they dislike? What drives them? How likely will they call you back promptly? Where does each type hang out? One of those seven types is invariably likely to be your type and this ground-breaking guide can help you find him. With wit, warmth, and sometimes bold comments, the author also gives women rare insights into the male psyche and takes on topics rarely encountered in similar guides: "Prince Perfect" and revelations designed to shred artificial worldviews The one thing single mothers should avoid Six characteristics of women who attract men Rewriting the dating script for better focus and more control The power of appreciating your age, body and looks Tips on writing better online profiles The "Calls of Nature" for both sexes Woven into this step-by-step guide are stories of real men and women in their search for romance, humorous anecdotes, and reflections on dating relationships that the author overheard "last night at a bar (aka my alternate research lab)." Whether he is sharing how to recognize a "player" with surgical precision or assigning women to write down their deepest relationship fears, Sheridan motivates readers to give love a chance. Imagine having proven strategies to let yourself learn from the past and move forward to the future with greater confidence and trust. If you - or women you know - are ready to take your best shot at identifying compatible men who are serious about finding a life partner, "Kissing Fewer Frogs" will make the search both systematic and fun. The perfect prince doesn't exist, but you may very well discover a prince who's close to perfect for you.
