The world of books.....
I could probably start a book store, I have book shelves full, chock a block and overflowing most of them read cover to cover, some whose pages are worn from being turned, but some I just could not make it to the end of it. It didn't keep it's promise to me, so I couldn't commit.
I don't know why the deliciousness of a crisp book cover, pregnant with possibilities.... Covers full of promises, about how this can change your life, help you achieve any goal. Most delivered on their promises, well some of their promises ( I did not Call in the one in Seven Weeks) but they made me see things differently, or at least from another perspective. Some book covers pissed me off, who was this jerk proclaiming *He's just not that into you* and how would he know?
Well I read that book and let me tell you that even though I still think he's a jerk, ( not really but I do SO hate it when someone else is SO right :-) he is a jerk who speaks truth. It gave me some insights about issues that frequently comes up during readings. How we train our partner badly by doing most of the work, making most of the contacts, and then we complain and are passive agressively ( or vocally ) upset because we ARE doing all the work.
He's just not that into you tells you how to recognize the patterns and it does help you look at it another way as does It's called a break-up because it's broken. While those were good I myself found Be honest, You're just no that into him either, By Ian Kerner phd. much better. It addressed issues about self honesty that struck a core. Questionaires that MAKE you think, make you see that it's okay to be intimate with someone but the most important thing is to never sell your short just to have someone to be with.
And when you regret being intimate with someone it is usually telling you something important and you cannot ignore it. Yes, as women we can be irrational but you have to trust your instinct.
The key is back to the being honest with yourself!!
