Many have studied it, written about it and even died for it and yet, it appears, we are mostly blind to the essence of love.

This audiobook is a laugh-out-loud funny and brutally honest look at female sexuality, as told through the razor-sharp lens of domesticated bad girl BB Easton. No one and nothing is off limits as BB revisits the ex-boyfriends - a sadistic tattoo artist, a punk-rock parolee, and a heavy-metal bass player - that led her to finally find true love with a straitlaced, drop-dead-gorgeous...accountant. After settling down and starting a family with her perfectly vanilla "husbot", Ken, BB finds herself longing for the reckless passion she had in her youth.

Every woman deserves to enjoy great sex with her husband, without inhibition or shame. But many wives live with the burden of self-doubt or feel mystified about what men really want in bed. Others wrestle with memories of sexual abuse or neglect, guilt over past intimate relationships, or negative feelings about their own bodies. Maybe you’ve been thinking you were alone in your struggle to discover sexual fulfillment.

Most people traditionally train only the conventional aspects of their abilities, they focus on the technical skills of a task. However there is another layer, an emotional and behavioral set of factors which can really make the biggest impact on the results you can achieve. That is where neuro-linguistic programming comes in. NLP techniques are designed to help you tap into those top level mindsets when required. But most people aren't equipped with the right strategies or outlook on NLP to really make it work.

Do you want to harness the power of influence? Do you want to develop your persuasion skills? Do you want to learn how to silently control people’s behavior? If so, then you're in the right place. To influence people, you have to understand human behavior; how a person thinks, feels, and reacts in various situations. You should know that your influence is more powerful than you think. You can change people’s perspectives and choices. You can control how a person behaves. You just have to know when to do it, and when not to do it.

When Strangers Meet argues for the pleasures and transformative possibility of talking to people you don't know. Our lives are increasingly insular. We are in a hurry; our heads are down, minds elsewhere; we hear only the voices we already recognize and rarely take the effort to experience something or someone new. Talking to a stranger pulls you into a shared humanity. It's a source of creative energy. It opens your world, and it cements your relationship to the places you live and work and play.

This ambitious book will help you gain a new and deeper insight into your life and the inspiring role you were born to play—as a leader, parent, sibling, offspring, friend, citizen (and human being, because you are this foremost). You will learn how to inspire yourself, and as a result, everyone else in your life. Inspiration will once again shine through the windows of your world. Let Lance Secretan be your guide on an uplifting journey to reclaim what has been lost—the sense of inspiration you knew as a child, so that you can live again, childlike, filled with innocence, not cynicism.

In How We Do It, primatologist Robert Martin draws on 40 years of research to locate the roots of everything from our sex cells to the way we care for newborns. He examines the procreative history of humans as well as that of our primate kin to reveal what's really natural when it comes to making and raising babies, and distinguish which behaviors we ought to continue - and which we should not. Although it's not realistic to raise our children like our ancestors did, Martin’s investigation reveals surprising consequences of - and suggests ways to improve upon - the way we do things now.

I appreciate that you are considering my book. Here is something to make us both feel good. I will donate 10% of my royalties to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital each year. When I taught Psychology 225 (Human Sexuality) I was constantly amazed how little students understood about intimate relationships, sexual functioning, sexual anatomy and even their own bodies. When I asked if their parents provided sexual information, most said they only got the one " Big Talk." Studies have shown that many parents believe they gave their children thorough and detailed information on sexual matters...

View your sex life in a different light and learn how it can make you happier. Sex is the most intimately human experience there is. It is can also be the most confusing. Our desire to be together conflicts with our desire to avoid vulnerability and appear ‘normal’, leaving us detached, desensitised or embarrassed. Covering topics including adultery, lust, pornography and impotence, Alain de Botton argues that 21st century sex will always be a balancing act of trust versus risk, and of primal desire versus studied civility.
