Book Description
Millions of women have already learned these time-tested lessons of love. The world has changed . . . Now it's time for a new generation to find "the one." In their #1 New York Times bestseller, THE RULES... Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider shared their time-tested techniques for finding the "one." Controversial yet effective, THE RULES has changed millions of women's lives all over the world since 1995. From Oprah to the Today Show, they helped women attract love through confidence and self-esteem. Over the past 30 years, the world has changed dramatically. Today, anything goes with fast paced dating and social media. While technology has accelerated the change (Instagram, texting, TikTok), biology has remained the same. It was time for a much needed reminder. The Rules Handbook was written out of necessity. Ellen and Sherrie were hearing from many of their readers who had successfully applied the original Rules's formula but experienced frustration when dealing others. They wanted a similar strategy to create loving and lasting relationships outside of romance as well. This led to coaching workshops to help others establish their own self-esteem, boundaries, and life philosophies. The Rules Handbook will do the same for you while helping attract the right people into your life and preventing or minimizing any unnecessary hurt or disrespect. This new book is organized to help you focus on your own life first, remain happy and busy, and nurture your Higher Self, as opposed to your Lower Self. You can then set healthy boundaries with confidence, and not lose your power to distance yourself from opinions or comments others make in person or on social media. The Rules Handbook will empower you to gracefully step away from difficult people and instead, invest all that time and energy on yourself and the ones who truly love and respect you.
