Short & Sweet Reviews are
short, quick reviews. These will mainly be used for series books where I
have already done full reviews on some of the earlier books or for
books that I feel will suffice with a quick review. These will not be
used for review requests or blog tours.
I'm Kristin. I always have a book with me wherever I go! I am married and have two chocolate labs - Maddie and Chloe. In addition to reading, I also enjoy yoga and walking - I am a big audio fan and love listening to audio books while out walking!
Greene also explains the nine shades of anti-seducers, the 18 types of seduction victims, and the 24-step seduction process, all of which provided deep insight into human psychology. In fact, this deep dive into human psychology is the aspect I enjoyed the most about the book.
A friend told me that No More Mr. Nice Guy is a must-read when it comes to seduction books, so I jumped into it one weekend to see what all the fuss was about. And there, I found another wonderful piece on male psychology which I enjoyed learning about and dissecting.
One of the best things about this book for me was the description of feminine and masculine energies. Deida describes feminine energy as everything that flows while masculine energy is stillness and how they hold space for each other, similar to how the riverbanks (stillness) hold space for the river (life) to flow. This was such a beautiful interpretation of the masculine and feminine selves we embody that I had to stop reading for a bit and truly absorb what it meant.
Deida writes this book as a guide for men, and it is organized in a way which makes it very easy to follow and understand. He instructs men that to be a superior man, one must understand these masculine and feminine energies, and deal with them accordingly.
Regardless of gender, it is one of the best (and very relatable for us girls) books you will find into the female psyche. Pick it up for yourself, your significant other, your friend, or colleague because everyone stands to gain something from this book.
I liked The Rational Male because it provided a unique perspective into dating in the 21st century, especially by elaborating on the PUA movement that is described in No products found. (see my review above on it). Written as a set of easy-to-digest essays, Tomassi explains to men the cultural and political forces which surround the sexual marketplace. His writing is very energetic, so I was hooked on his explanations of relational equity and the changing power dynamics between men and women. I think this is especially helpful for men who want to better understand the social conventions between men and women, so they can put their best self forward when reaching out to someone they are interested in.
This is our selection of the best books and training about seduction in 2022. Each of these seduction approaches is very different, and yet, in its own way, they offer a delightfully complementary approach.
Note: This book is more about the mind than the body, its about sparking the mind, appealing to her mental sexuality, and the body will follow, rather than more direct physical stuff.
From Amazon: Women can only get all the things they want when men know these truths, but women cannot speak them because that would violate all the rules. Society covers up these truths to maintain order, but it leaves women unfulfilled and men confused. Men are further frustrated by the seemingly contradictory logic of women.
This book is relatively short (120 pages); the easy-to-read book helps us connect with our desires and honestly express them in an easy yet undefensive way to our partners, significantly deepening our relationship.
Giving incredible orgasms, receiving really great orgasms, and everything in between: You will find all the pleasure tips you need in this guide. Clinical sexologist Amy Cooper shows you how to:
From Amazon: If you want to be a man that 80% of women desire, this book is your key. Based on over 120 scientific studies, this book is the ultimate guide to creating and maintaining attraction with women.
From Amazon: We all yearn for intimacy, but we avoid it. We want it badly, but we often run from it. At some deep level, we sense that we have a profound need for intimacy, but we are afraid to go there. Why?
We avoid intimacy because having intimacy means exposing our secrets. Being intimate means sharing the secrets of our hearts, minds, and souls with another fragile and imperfect human being. Intimacy requires that we allow another person to discover what moves us, what inspires us, what drives us, what eats at us, what we are running toward, what we are running from, what self-destructive enemies lie within us, and what wild and wonderful dreams we hold in our hearts.
In The Seven Levels of Intimacy, Matthew Kelly teaches us practical and unforgettable ways how to know these things about ourselves and share ourselves more deeply with the people we love. This book will change the way you approach your relationships forever!
Since then I have seen him work with all manner of people, and seen them grow and progress as they learn about themselves through his coaching. I recommend NLP and coaching to anyone who wants to effect a change in their work or personal lives."
Michael will coach you to coach others - meta, I know, but that's why it works so well! We had weekly/biweekly Skype calls to discuss new concepts and then I worked to apply those concepts in the real world before our next meeting.

Likewise, in Mansfield Park (1814), Jane Austen uses reading aloud as a highly charged turning point in the relationship between protagonist Fanny Price and her recently declared suitor, Henry Crawford. When Henry reads aloud to the gathered assembly, his skill and sensitivity is such that Fanny is forced to sit up and listen despite herself.
Whether to keep Michael on track, or out of pure self-interest, Hanna insists that Michael read to her before they make love. Only much later do Michael and the reader discover that Hanna has two secrets (spoiler alert): she is a former concentration camp guard and she is illiterate.
Reading aloud takes longer, but that is part of the point. Slow reading is sensuous reading. As opposed to the audiobooks now so firmly a part of the cultural landscape, for adults as well as children, reading aloud is responsive, intuitive and embodied.
The reader is also an observer, who adapts gestures, facial expressions and intonation in response to cues. Listeners observe too of course, their attention centred on the person before or alongside them.
Most women know little about men and are ill-prepared to be in healthy relationships with men.
This book will help you date with a relationship in mind, setting up healthy dating patterns from early on, so that you can both enjoy a healthy relationship.
Seduction University does not sugarcoat things to pander to the readers. But it provides you with real tools and strategies to become a more effective dater.
Whether you want more sex or a relationship, you will learn the best strategies to get them.
Yet another popular concept is that of playing lots of dating games.
And you should play some games.
But too many of them, and too many win-lose games drive away the higher quality guys.
So I skipped all books that focus too much on win-lose games. And you should scrap those, by the way:
Seduction of the Innocent is a book by German-born American psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, published in 1954, that warned that comic books were a negative form of popular literature and a serious cause of juvenile delinquency. The book was taken seriously at the time in the United States, and was a minor bestseller that created alarm in American parents and galvanized them to campaign for censorship. At the same time, a U.S. Congressional inquiry was launched into the comic book industry. Subsequent to the publication of Seduction of the Innocent, the Comics Code Authority was voluntarily established by publishers to self-censor their titles. In the decades since the book's publication, Wertham's research has been disputed by scholars.
Comics, especially the crime/horror titles pioneered by EC, were not lacking in gruesome images; Wertham reproduced these extensively, pointing out what he saw as recurring morbid themes such as "injury to the eye".[1] Many of his other conjectures, particularly about hidden sexual themes (e.g. images of female nudity concealed in drawings or Batman and Robin as gay partners), were met with derision within the comics industry. Wertham's claim that Wonder Woman had a bondage subtext was somewhat better documented, as her creator William Moulton Marston had admitted as much;[citation needed] however, Wertham also claimed Wonder Woman's strength and independence made her a lesbian.[2] At this time homosexuality was still viewed as a mental disorder by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Wertham also claimed that Superman was both un-American and fascistic.[3]
Wertham critiqued the commercial environment of comic book publishing and retailing, objecting to air rifles and knives advertised alongside violent stories. Wertham sympathized with retailers who did not want to sell horror comics, yet were compelled to by their distributors' table d'hte product line policies.
Seduction of the Innocent was illustrated with comic-book panels offered as evidence, each accompanied by a line of Wertham's commentary. The first printing contained a bibliography listing the comic book publishers cited, but fears of lawsuits compelled the publisher to tear the bibliography page from any copies available, so copies with an intact bibliography are rare. Early complete editions of Seduction of the Innocent are collected avidly by book and comic book collectors.
