Book Description
“One of the most admired men in the world of seduction” (The New York Times) teaches average guys how to approach, attract and begin intimate relationships with beautiful women
For every man who always wondered why some guys have all the luck, Mystery, considered by many to be the world’s greatest pickup artist, finally reveals his secrets for finding and forming relationships with some of the world’s most beautiful women. Mystery gained mainstream attention for his role in Neil Strauss’s New York Times bestselling exposé, The Game. Now he has written the definitive handbook on the art of the pickup.
He developed his unique method over years of observing social dynamics and interacting with women in clubs to learn how to overcome the guard shield that many women use to deflect come-ons from "average frustrated chumps."
His tips include:
*Give more attention to her less attractive friend at first, so your target will get jealous and try to win your attention.
*Always approach a target within 3 seconds of noticing her. If a woman senses your hesitation, her perception of your value will be lower.
*Don't be picky. Approach as many groups of people in a bar as you can and entertain them with fun conversation. As you move about the room, positive perception of you will grow. Now it's easy to meet anyone you want.
*Smile. Guys who don't get laid, don't smile.

well worth the money!.......2007-10-10
Very informative and well-written. Explict, modern and spedific. I would also highly recommend another awesome book- The Exclusive Layguide: When Dating and Having Sex with Incredibly Hot Women is No Longer Mirage Even If You Don't Look Like a Model or Don't Make a Fortune Both books are well worth the money!
None.......2007-10-10
Good book. But they could have packaged it better for delivery. When I recieved it the corners where damaged. I plan on keeping this book so it would have been nice to have it delivered undamaged.
Hilarious and informative.......2007-10-06
I got this book from a friend after a recent divorce. To her it was a gag gift. It took me a while to finally get around to reading it. I was glad I did. It's not only highly entertaining, but I think provides a lot of tips for not only getting beautiful women into bed (God knows I need all the help I can get with even the not-so-beautiful women), but in general for being successful with people--sort of a modern day Dale Carnegie. If nothing else, you'll enjoy the read!
Really good book!.......2007-09-30
This book was great but the problem is that it is more of an explanation on the mystery method than a "how to" book. It gives few examples of gambits (conversations starters to disarm & attract targets). The reader is basically encouraged to go out & figure it out through constant trial & error. What I loved most is the explanations of differences between men & women & why women do some of the crazy things they do (this alone is worth the price of the book). I t tells you what attracts women & how to choose the right thing to say & what body language you express. Again it does not actually tell you what to say & only very few gambits (you must be able to switch from on story to another effortlessly without pause to keep target intrigued & wanting more). The reader is left to come up with their own material or purchase it from his website.
The Real Deal.......2007-09-30
I just finished watching "The Pick-up Artist" on WeTV with Mystery as its host and it really proved to be entertaining! I met my girlfriend being "cocky and funny" in that I showed humor, confidence, and flirtation which are the basics of what Mystery teaches. Overall, a great read! You'd be surprised how many men are clueless on how to approach women. Also, there are so many women who are intimidated by men approaching them if they have a boyfriend or husband. They freak out and don't take it as a compliment!
Book Description
It's reality-check time! You are at least five months into your tour of parenting duty by now. The complexity of child-training has begun to come into focus. You have learned that as your baby matures both constant and variable factors continually influence his or her development. What behaviors can and should you expect from your pretoddler? Feeding time for your pretoddler, for example, is now more than a response controlled by a sucking reflex. For the pretoddler, mealtime is part of a very complex, conscious interaction between what the child does and what his parents expect him to do. Right and wrong conduct will be encouraged, discouraged, and guided when necessary. In fact, right and wrong patterns of behavior will now be part of your baby's entire day. That's why feeding time, waketime and sleeptime provide wonderful opportunities for training and Babywise Book II will guide you all the way, from the high chair to playpen, from the living room to the back yard. This series teaches the practical side of introducing solids food, managing mealtimes, nap transitions, traveling with your infant, setting reasonable limits while encourage healthy exploration and much more. You will learn how to teach your child to use sign language for basic needs, a tool proven to help stimulate cognitive growth and advance communication. Apply the principles and your friends and relatives will be amazed at the alertness, contentedness and happy disposition of your baby

Buy something else.......2007-10-05
Give this one a miss, especially if you are breastfeeding. Lots of misinformation that can be a problem for lactating mothers. Plus, disturbing ideas about "disciplining" babies for perfectly normal behavior, like using their hands at mealtimes. I think these methods would be quite damaging. Look for something recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, or try something by Dr. Sears or Penelope Leach instead.
Be a Wise Parent and DON'T get Babywise.......2007-08-14
Scheduling sleep in a baby over 4 months is a good idea. However, scheduling breastfeedings and "playpen" time is not. Also giving your 6 month old a finger squeeze because he/she decides to grab the bowl during feeding time or touch at things is also not very wise. Ezzo punishes babies for doing things that are essential for their development, like grabbing things in site and exploring the world around them. Furthermore, he thinks that young babies actually understand punishment. A 6 month old is not being defiant when he/she is trying to grab at things and play around. Where does Ezzo get these strange ideas?
The sad thing is that Ezzo claims to be a Christian. When Christ commanded us to not hurt any of these little ones and Ezzo is doing just that. There is a difference between a two year old looking at you straight in the eye and doing something he knows is wrong after you told him no and a baby playfully grabbing at their feeding bowl. Somehow, though, Gary Ezzo sees no difference and sees punishment as fitting for both. Somehow he thinks babies are manipulative little beings that want to slowly take over and ruin our lives. No, children are a blessing from God above and we should cherish their curiousity and indulge them in learning. Not neglect them in a playpen for 45 minutes after they are obviously not happy.
It's no wonder Dr. Dobson, Tedd Tripp, and Dr. Cloud, three Christian parenting writers, along with many others, have discredited the advice of Ezzo.
Sleep scheduling is about the good only thing in this book, but his method on this is still unwise. I reccommend "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" by Marc Weissbluth, MD. Or even Dr. Ferber over this kook anyday.
There is so much in here that SHOULD NOT be applied to Babies.
I love this BOOK!!!!.......2007-06-25
I used this book with both my children 11 years ago. I was so excited to blow the dust off of it and use it again with my new baby! It's be a while and I'm a litle rusty so I wonderd if it would work again. It did!! This book and Baby Wise have made my home so enjoyable. I needed it being a Mom again at 40.
Be wise with Babywise and it WILL work for you!!.......2007-06-16
I read this book with my first son, and being a new mom it was hard for me to follow this structure to the T. I kept re-reading the book to find all the answers for my son's specific situations, and was getting frustrated when he wasn't sleeping through the night at 8 weeks. However, I had to learn that the guidelines are GREAT, but are meant to be flexible for your child's needs, and parental assessment is key. My son had colic, and I was nervous to let him cry all the time, but learned that no matter what I did he was going to cry, so I let him. Soon I realized he needed to sleep A LOT more than I thought, and by 4 months he slept through the night 12 hours solid! Without Babywise I would not have had a guideline of how often to nurse, how long to nurse, and how many naps my son needed. The PDF method was my saving grace!!!
NOW I have my second son, and I was able to follow the Babywise method a lot more closely right away (still using parental assessment for my child's needs). Having more experience, not being a nervous new mom, and having an 18 month old to watch after as well, I can follow the Babywise methods with confidence. In doing so he has successfully been sleeping through the night (8-10 hours) since 9 weeks old. He is happy when he's awake and our household is very peaceful considering there is a newborn and a 20 month old residing here!! Especially if you plan on having more than one child this book is a must! 3 CHEERS FOR BABYWISE!!!Thank you!!
Great addition to the series!.......2007-06-10
After following Baby Wise book one, my daughter was successful at sleeping through the night by 7 weeks! She followed the first book almost to a T! So I ordered this second book, and I really like the ideas especially when it comes to High Chair manners and feeding solids. I also, like how they deal with the heart of the child and not just behaviors! Great book for any parent, whether you've done the first book or not!

Tickle His Pickle Book by Sadie Allison
Customer Reviews:
Great!.......2007-04-22
This book is soo cool. My friends and I have a ball reading this book. It has great content
Great for Beginners.......2007-04-18
This book was very helpful. When in doubt I turn to reading and I was completely clueless on how to please a man orally. I had no idea what to do before I read this book. I'm surprized my boyfriend put up with me feeble atempts, after learning how to perform correctly. I know he greatly appreciated this bit of literature, even though he laughed when I first recieved it in the mail.
I'd say it's an excellent book for beginners, and help me get the basics down real quick. Although if your looking for something more advance, I would probably try a different book.
Fun! Fun! Fun!.......2007-03-26
I found this book to be really fun!
This book has fun and flirty illustrations throughout. I found it to be rich with quick tidbits that are called Sadie Sez they are neat to read. This book covers anything you need to know head to toe to please your man! It even has backdoor play and helps your relationship open new erotic doors. It will help with lube choices and fun cute names for different techniques she describes them in full detail and pictures! Tickle His Pickle by Sadie Allison is amazing and will even cover impotence in men and give us (the partner) "help" in deciding how to "help" him through it wink wink nudge nudge. As well as being a nice quick read it is a small book so you can fit in your carry on luggage or purse even a backpack. I would highly recommend this book to every type of couple or non couple. She has a few safe sex ideas thrown about in the book. (As her little friendly reminder). High quality material covered in this book. Tickle His Pickle written by Sadie Allison is not for someone without a funny bone (it will make you giggle at her creative take on the male anatomy)! I bought another copy to give away to my friend! Worth every penny I spent to buy this! Just a little recommendation check out her other books she is a spectacular author! Just type in her name and pow books written by her. Enjoy!
Tickle His Pickle.......2007-03-09
Dr. Sadie Allison is a genius! This book will leave you obsessed with the male organ!

In their excellent (and hefty) resource guide, The Baby Book, attachment parenting specialists William Sears and Martha Sears have provided new parents with their approach to every aspect of baby care basics, from newborns to toddlers. Attachment parenting is a gentle, reasonable approach to parenting that stresses bonding with your baby, responding to her cues, breastfeeding, "wearing" your baby, and sharing sleep with your child. For those parents who worry about negative effects of this attention, the Sears say, "Spoiling is what happens when you leave something (or some person) alone on the shelf--it spoils."

take this book seriously & your life might be a mess!.......2007-10-09
I would NOT recommend this book for starting out in parenting. My husband and I just had this book for the first few months of our baby's life. What I got out of the book was the author's ideas that the mom should breastfeed the baby (which I do support), carry the baby in a sling for at least four hours a day, feed the baby every time it fusses, rock the baby to sleep, hold the baby for 20 minutes until she's fully asleep then hope she doesn't wake up when you put her down. Then he talks about a sign in his office that says "The best gift you can a baby is a well rested mother."
His ideas had me teaching the baby not to sleep the night, no routine or expectations, baby was not napping, and had my whole family exhausted and wondering if we were going to live through this!
Luckily, when our baby was four months old a friend lent me "The Baby Whisperer." We soon had a great flexible routine, baby slept through the night, and everyone was happier-including baby! I've also heard many great things about "Baby Wise."
The book has helpful information in the back about illnesses and medicine in the back - I would only buy the book for that. (The book is also very against bottle feeding, so don't look for any support there!)
Thorough and Loving.......2007-10-08
I got this book when my baby was eight months old, and I heartily wish I had gotten it sooner. I had been basically following the attachment parenting model without even realizing it, but at times, people would make me feel guilty about it. It's amazing that people can be against (what seemed to me to be) natural baby caring principals like picking him up when he cries (and even when he doesn't!), soothing him back to sleep, wearing him around instead of leaving him in some sort of mother substitute (seat, swing, etc), sleeping with him some of the time, and the most natural thing of all, breastfeeding.
The hostile reviews of this book astound me. Dr. Sears comes right out and says that this style of parenting is not for everyone, and that you should pick and choose what parts work for you and what parts don't. The entire premise of the book is that mothers know how to care for their young, and that you should follow your instincts. As far as the father's role, I actually thought that he was adamant about getting the fathers involved. As a single mother, I was wondering sometimes, what am I supposed to do about [some problem that he solved with the father helping]?
No where in the book can I find this "my way or the highway" that some reviewers talked about. This is the only baby book that I've read that really acknowledged that all babies are different and no one method can be applied to all of them. The section on high-need babies was worth it's weight in gold. How many mothers of these kinds of babies (myself included) have suffered from the just-put-him-down-and-he'll-get-over-it parenting advice. Some babies might stand for that, but high need babies? Hell no! And other baby books will say that this is most definitely the parents fault without even nodding a head to the fact that babies have totally different personalities and demand different styles of care.
Dr. Sears approach to parenting is not for the parents who believe that children are basically a nuisance and need to stay in their place. Having a baby is not like it is on television, it completely changes your life. But his principals are not some sort of formula that are set in stone, they are a just seven things that are good for babies, and I take them at that and do them to the extent that I am able and my son responds to them.
Parenting styles aside, this is an invaluable information resource. I have the mayo clinic baby care book and this is way more thorough (and interesting to read) then that.
Every expectant Mom needs this book!.......2007-10-03
Anyone that is excecting should have this book in their collection. I read every page before my daughter was born (when I actually had time) and referred to it many times in her first year. It has good sound advice and isn't too weird. I like the excerpts of his wife detailing actual situations they encountered while raising their children. It is easy to find information and is, in my opinion, one of the best books on the market for baby's first year. Would recommend highly!
Baby Bible!.......2007-10-01
This is my official shower gift for new moms. I used this on at least a weekly basis when my baby was first born (sometimes at 3am!). It totally saved my life that year and answered SO many questions. I don't totally agree with every single thing that Sears says, but like with anything you take what you need. This has a lot of good information and comforted me when I wanted to just freak out about something (like green poo - totally normal).
A great resource for "attachment parenting"-friendly parents.......2007-09-29
This was one of the most useful "baby" books in my extensive collection - I referred to it over and over again for a wide range of issues, from fevers to sleep problems. Each time I opened it I would find helpful, child-friendly information from a source that seemed warm and sympathetic towards me and my parenting challenges. I was reluctant to pass this book on to my sister when she had a baby, as I did most other books of this type, since I was still finding it useful in toddler-hood; fortunately, she was given a copy by someone else so I didn't need to part with it. "The Baby Book" became her most-referenced book as well.
That said, I can see how some people would be put off by this book. It definitely describes mother-oriented parenting in its promotion of breastfeeding (which my husband has, to his great happiness, not been able to attempt). My husband is the main caregiver in our family (stay-at-home dad) and I'm a work-at-home mom, and neither of us felt judged by any of the authors' books - but we're both pretty thick-skinned towards gender-role judgments. And after having our daughter it was clear that there was just no substitute for Mom sometimes - her behavior was consistent with the gender bias in the book. Whether that was because her two favorite things were located on my chest or for some subtler gender-based reason, I couldn't say. But sometimes the best thing that my husband could do for her was to bring her to me. Fortunately, he was fine with that.
The book did not seem as judgmental to me as it did to some other reviewers. Though the authors' preferences for co-sleeping are clear, they state that the best place for a baby to sleep is wherever the whole family gets the best night's sleep and describe various options. The same is true for breastfeeding - they express their (well substantiated) opinion that breastfeeding babies is optimal, but they do address how to bottle feed as well in the section "Bottlefeeding with Safety and Love." The area in which the book was probably most judgmental was on the subject of sleep training - the authors obviously consider cry-it-out methods to often be an insensitive way to treat a child and likely to cause parents to fail to respond to important needs of their baby. Even so, they address how to make sleep-training more responsive to the needs of the baby and say "We are not saying that the cry-it-out approach is always wrong, doesn't work, and you should never use it. Instead, we wish you to be careful about jumping right into this method before you deeply understand its ramifications and have carefully considered less drastic alternatives."
All-in-all this is an exceptionally useful book and one that I recommend to most new parents.

Excellent book to help children understand...............2007-08-13
I ordered this book for my 9 year old daughter to help explain to her about the changes going on in our family structure. The book explains a grown-up concept in a childs eyes with colorful pictures and good descriptions. My daughters therapist asked me to get this book for her and I am so happy I did. A must for any age child that is going through changes in their household. I would highly recommend this book.
Covers the Spectrum of Divorce Topics.......2007-06-11
Dinosaurs Divorce is an important cornerstone of an all-too-small selection of children's books on this topic. With huge ambitions, this book addresses all kinds of topics relative to the breakup of the family and, for some families, these chapters will be appropriate and necessary. Others will find it too broad to make more than a chapter or two relevant to their own situation.
My biggest criticism of this book is that we would never leave it in my six-year-old daughter's room to let her digest it on her own. The best books, we've found, are those that we can read to her several nights at bedtime and then walk in later and find her "reading" them on her own. She spends a lot of time deciphering every detail of the illustrations and remembers the elements of the story that we read on each page. Dinosaurs Divorce is a great "tool for children", but not necessarily a great "children's book". The illustrations are far too scary on some pages and a few of the topics are too inappropriate for our situation to let her have access to the entire book. We have enough reality to discuss that does pertain to our home than to add a lot of other distressing possibilities.
I actually disagree, though, with the criticism of this book because it's "too reassuring". Yes, that's good information to have, some teachers may be looking for a book that is more realistic to situations they watch specific students go through, but every parent should want something that is reassuring. If they've forgotten to do that, the greatest impact WON'T be reminding the parents that it's necessary to do that once in a while.
Parents, teachers, and counselors looking for books on divorce may consider the following alternatives for specific needs. Please note that all of these books are story books and are written in a way that allow children to relate, enjoy the entire book, and hopefully empower them to talk about their own experiences with divorce.
For younger children (preschool) about living in two homes and making that a positive experience: Two Homes
For young children (4-8) about the initial discovery of divorce, including relieving the child's worry that they've caused the tension at home, especially during the delay between when parents have made the final decision and when they tell their children: The Most Important Thing
For younger children (2-6) about a post-divorce situation of living mostly at Dad's house and the inevitable worry that the divorce may have been the children's fault: Was It the Chocolate Pudding?: A Story For Little Kids About Divorce
Wonderful book.......2007-05-15
This book helps a great deal in explaining to young children how divorce feels and how it changes the family. I used it in school counseling. Great resource in the elementary school setting.
Another point of view.......2006-10-28
I read this book as a child, some time after my parents' divorce (age 7 or so). I'm all grown up now, but I still remember it fondly. It was comforting to me to know that many other kids were in my same situation, and I remember memorizing a lot of advice from it. In hindsight I can see just how valuable the advice was, tips like not needing to take sides or deliver messages between parents. In the end, this book really helped me to be comfortable and understanding about divorce and having two families. It was easy for me to understand, and I loved the dinosaurs. Take it from somebody who's been there -- this is an excellent book!
Use your judgement, and pick and choose.......2006-09-14
As a new elementary guidance counselor, I haven't found a kids' book on divorce yet that I LOVE. Meanwhile, this is useful. It covers several aspects of divorce. It is too long to use the whole thing in one sitting with young children, and not all of it applies in every situation or is appropriate with every age group. However, it's fairly easy to select what you think is helpful and appropriate for your child(ren) because of the comic-book format and different chapters on different topics (ie. Having Two Homes, Telling Your Friends, Meeting Parents' New Friends).
I used this with a pre-1st class last week. I chose the sections I thought most applicable and paraphrased, partly for simplicity and partly to age-appropriately soften some negative aspects, like using "parents can't get along anymore" but leaving out "don't love each other". And, like other reviewers, I thought the panes on Mom taking anger at Dad out on Son, and Mom with alcohol and pills to illustrate "behaving in ways that hurt themselves and the rest of the family" were too mature and scary concepts for that age group! However, it was a great tool to start a helpful and positive conversation.

Oh dear, have I lived too hard or what? I didn't find this book nearly as positive an experience as many seem to have!.......2007-04-05
Do you ever walk through the Supermarket checkout and find you've picked up an impulse buy, some piece of horrid confectionary or something equally valueless just because it was there as you were making the purchases you wanted? That question about sums up how I came to be the owner of this book. It's little more than a little book of pretty little pictures of people simulating sexual intercourse with a text that tries to give itself credibility with casual references to the Kama Sutra etc. No sense of celebration, or the blissed out unity of true spirituality and connection.
If you treat your sexuality like a gymnastic event where you are graded on achieving x position successfully and possibly judged on technique and artistic style and you want a pocket Training Manual, this might be the one. If your heart, your head and your training are in the right places, you and your willing partner will find all the same things as are to be found in here on your own but you will not look bored and disinterested (as those in the photos), you will look like the Universe is sending a rush of Life energy through you with force and you are reaching highs you never knew before, why? Coz that's what will be happening.
I'm sure much must be handled very carefully to produce a product like it seems this book hoped to be. Sadly without the sense of celebration, abandon and togetherness that should be the greater part of what something like this conveys, it might as well be a text and photos about picking each other's noses for mutual pleasure.
Cheers

Fun & Provocative.......2007-02-05
This book is a great little addition to the nightstand or coffee table.
The positions and the pictures are always likely to spark some ideas or
even inspire you to take hardcore action on the spot.
The text that goes along with the pics is well-written and evocative.
Nice.
Not too bad.......2007-01-16
The pictures often have nothing to do with the positions/descriptions they are near. The layout was more distracting than anything. Descriptions and quantity of positions are pretty good, though.
Well written, tasteful, and pleasing....but...........2006-12-06
This book is not for the couple that is already 'A Little Bit Naughty'. Naughty meaning unrepressed (uninhibited) in the bedroom. If you've already been 'experimental' with different sexual positions, then this book offers very few new ideas and some that are offered looked downright uncomfortable to the point of painful - see below.
Some of the positions offered for consideration are not naughty at all. For instance:
1) The Missonary (Man on top, woman on back).
2) The woman on top (called the Rodeo in this book).
3) The Wrap Around (Bascially the Missionary Position with the womans legs wrapped around the man.)
Even though considered standard positions, in defense of the author, they do offer variations on the 'theme' (such as pillows or wearing lingerie).
Painful (uncomfortable) Positions offered:
1) The X-Factor: The man sits on the bed and the woman (facing him)
slides onto him...then the both lean back...creating an X. Not terribly comfortable (probably quite painful for the man) and orgasms would entail some work.
2) Stairway to Heaven: The woman stands on the first step of the stairs, the man enters from behind, then grabs one leg and holds it up. I suppose it would be arousing to be in that position, just for novelty sake, but orgasm (for the woman) would be hard to come by.
3) The Wheelbarrow. This is self-explanatory and sorry, this just seems demeaning and silly.
Like other reviewers: I enjoyed the breakdown of each position: How to do it, What is right with it, What's wrong with it, and Variations on the Theme. The pictures were very good and tasteful and the book describes the positions very well.
Overall, however, not for the person (or couple) that has already been a little bit naughty.
Some things are easier . . . when you get older! Really!.......2006-11-22
After spicing up my sex life with the more exotic (anal sex and deep-throating), I was wondering if there might be fun things to do closer to home (as in "intercourse"). As it turns out, quite a bit!
This tome's cute title, "the little bit naughty book of SEX positions" caught my eye -- that and its "50 tastefully explicit color photos." The text turned out to be quite informative. And the photos (even without showing the most intimate contact) were exceptionally clear and helpful.
As background, I remember trying many sexual positions at some point in my life, but I guess it's easy to fall in a rut.
I also remember that when my husband was much younger, like many young men his penis liked to stay close to his body when erect - which greatly limited the number of positions he found comfortable. I'm happy to say that some things get better with age - and a more supple erection is definitely one of them! Needless to say, once this newfound capability came to light -- my husband became quite enthusiastic! (Down boy, down!)
The chapters are arranged very logically: woman on top, man on top, side by side, sitting down, standing, sexplosion (more orgasms), rear entry, anal sex, simultaneous oral sex positions (69's), kama sutra, and a section for advanced lovers only (only the most supple penises need apply).
But the feature which really sets this reference apart - is how each position is laid out (get it?) in detail. How to do it -- What's right with it (pro) -- What's wrong with it (con) -- and Variations on a theme - are the headings.
The "What's right with it" section really goes into detail on the advantages of each position -- for both men and women -- and how it differs from other seemingly similar postures. The "What's wrong with it" portion tells you what you're giving up by using this geometry.
Lastly, the "Variations on a theme" items are simply costume and accessory (handcuffs, toys, etc.) suggestions to use for each position.
As an example of what you'll find, there are probably a half-a-dozen variations on the missionary position - mainly involving different leg positions for the girl (and the guy) -- and their resulting sensual differences for both sexes - which are surprisingly more significant than you might think!
Here are some of our biggest discoveries as a couple:
* That the number of positions now open to him (get it?) has increased tremendously due to his greater flexibility.
* That even if he weren't more flexible, the book contained several new postures his "younger" self would've enjoyed (where the couple's bodies are kept closer together).
* That some positions are more conducive to female pleasure, either in terms of stimulating the clitoris or g-spot, or allowing for masturbation.
* That there are many positions that are often times more easily performed - outside the bed -- such as sitting on the floor, in a chair, or on the kitchen counter! (And "no," I didn't try the "wheelbarrow.")
Some of our favorite new positions included standing with one leg up, sometimes using a staircase (to accommodate different heights); sitting in a chair facing away from him; kneeling on the bed with my knees apart; and sitting on the kitchen counter!
Two of these activities are now possible - since the kids aren't always home! And the other two are enjoyable since they allow me easier access to myself -- for masturbation - which is a pleasure I discovered while learning to give anal sex!
As suggestions for the author - it would've been helpful to also have a few sections on oral sex (for both him and her), and one for deep-throating.
To conclude - you're never too old to learn new positions - especially since they NOW might be easier to perform! Let the "little bit naughty book of SEX positions" - SHOW YOU HOW! Enjoy.

disinformation.......2007-10-10
I was sorely disappointing in reading just the first chapter. Information relayed in the book as to epidural effects on breastfeeding was used as a scare tactic as was the pushing natural delivery.
I was most disappointed because this is a group that comes highly recommended and yet presents opinions as facts that are in direct contrast to the Mayo Clinic.
It was a waste of $13.
GREAT resource.......2007-10-04
You know the LLL is the number one agency for breastfeeding resource and this is THEIR book. LOTS of info for those women who are undertaking this labor of love and want to be ready.
Not very helpful for new moms.......2007-09-24
Following the birth of my first child, I had lots of questions about breastfeeding, despite my attendance of a breastfeeding class and appointments with a lactation consultant. This book provides some motivation to breastfeed, but did not answer many of my questions, esp. technical ones regarding supply/demand, latch-on problems, etc.
Instead I recommend the Sears' breastfeeding book or The Nursing Mother's Companion by Huggins.
Every breastfeeding moms bible!.......2007-09-18
I used this book when my 7 yr old was born, actually after reading so many conflicting books, I NEEDED this book. Now my neighbor has a new baby, & I purchased this book for her. You just have to read what you need to know, don't take heart to some of the things the book will advise. La Leche can come on strong, but they have good intentions, and the book is one of them! Definately a good guide for new moms, or neighbors helping new moms! :-)
The Breastfeeding Book Every Woman Needs.......2007-09-16
Trust me, I read them all before my son was born. This is the one that got me through those 2am crises and supported me through our entire breastfeeding experience from birth to child-led weaning. Its solid information with good backing from a variety of professionals.

Saved my life.......2006-10-08
This book is for anyone going through any type of recovery: codependency, addiction, divorce. Daily affirmations that tell us that yes we are important and we are not crazy!
More Excellent Work.......2006-08-17
I don't think we as human beings actually recognize the power of daily reading, meditation, and reflecting. Practicing these powerful principles allows us to remain mindful of the moment and reflect upon the deeper question in our lives. To devote ourself to a daily meditation and to journal on these quiet times is priceless and will certainly aid in the evolution of our soul. For me this practice has allowed an awakening to take place and opens my life up to all the opportunities that are available in this universe. Please give this practice a try! This book will help you in your journey of living and cultivating an active consciousness in your daily life.

More Language of Letting Go, Equally good as the first!.......2006-03-11
This is another fine example of the inner wisdom of Melody Beattie. Her books have helped me TREMENDOUSLY with my life, though I'm not a 12 stepper. It applies to life for all of us!
Wonderful Read to Follow "Language of Letting Go' - A Must!.......2004-03-28
After working a 12 step for 9 months, read Language of Letting Go. Brought me in touch w/my feelings. Then my spouse went into
AA. "More Language of Letting Go" continued me on my path to
getting in touch w/my feelings. There's no index, but you
will find it comical how you do read the book. I highly
recommend Beattie's "Journey to the Heart" as a follow-up to
this one!
By reading these 3 books, I know more what I want and can name
the things I want. Before I couldn't.
Beattie pegs it beautifully, when no one else can.
Can't let go of this book.......2003-01-17
This is a WONDERFUL daily reading! I read it through last year and am starting over this year. There are some passages that just jump out and smack you in the head because they relate to what you are going throught at the exact time you read it.

Best Thing I've Ever Done Was to Buy This Book for My Great Aunt Mary.......2007-09-28
I bought this book of questions for my Great Aunt Mary for her 100th birthday. And like another reviewer said, some of the questions did not apply to her, but, she did answer quite a few of the inquiries, and it was VERY interesting reading to see her answers. She passed away last Christmas at 108 years and 4 months old, and I placed this book out at her funeral for all to read, and everyone loved it. It had so many wonderful stories and quips to tell, all written in Aunt Mary's own hand. It made her memorial even more special. I've been given the book back, and will always treasure it. Aunt Mary and I were always very close, and I miss her very much, but that book brings back memories... I'd recommend this to everyone who wants to know more about other people. Lee
First and Best Internet Purchase.......2007-09-09
I first bought a copy of this book in 1999 and gave it to my Great-Aunt for Christmas. It was my first internet purchase. She wrote it in for five years and gave it back to me full of family history. Although all of the questions did not apply to her as she never had children and didn't serve in the armed services, she used the extra pages to expand on the questions that did apply to her.
The Story of a Lifetime.......2007-09-04
I found this book to be a pleasant surprise. I ordered it for my Nana. The cover is beautifully done, the pages are gold edged, it's a large book, but not fat, and it asks lots of questions. It divides ones life into sections starting with your memories of your grandparents, then your parents, your childhood, teen years, adult years, school life, home life, fads, movies, music, hobbies, marriage, grandchildren, happiest moments, saddest moments, etc. It covers everything. Unfortunately, my Nana was unable to finish this book before she died of bone cancer. I am still glad I have it. It's something for her great grandchildren to read since they will never meet her.
Lots of great memories to look back on!.......2007-06-07
I just pulled my book out of the closet, as one of my siblings had a question about our great-grandfather. My Dad passed away 3 years ago and I so wish I had the whole book with his comments. It was just a little too late, as he was in poor health, so many of the questions are unanswered. I recommend this book for every grandparent to fill out and give as a gift to their grandchildren. It's priceless!
My Father Loved it!.......2007-05-16
I bought this book for my dad to write down everything about him and he loves it! In fact he recommended it to his brother. A wonderful keepsake for the family.

Book Description
Friends and life. Life and friends. The two are so tightly interwoven it's impossible to imagine one being remotely worthwhile without the other. As Bradley Trevor Greive points out, "There are very few truly solitary creatures on this planet. And most of them have serious personal hygiene issues." What makes friends so special? What does our choice of friends say about us? What sparks the best friendships and keeps them burning? In Friends to the End: The True Value of Friendship, BTG uses his trademark witty narrative illustrated with irresistible animal photos to explore the daily magic we experience through our friends. Best described as a cross between his famously successful Dear Mom and The Blue Day Book, Friends to the End examines themes such as why we can't live without friends, how great friendships grow from humble beginnings, how to identify different types of friendship, what to do when good friends turn bad, and why it's all so worthwhile. "When I think back to all the really great or the horrendously bad times in my life," says BTG, "I can't help but think about how my friends made the former all the more enjoyable and the latter at least survivable. I want this book to help people appreciate friendship for all it is and all it can be."Friends to the End promises to have the same cultural impact achieved by his previous books. His modern classics The Blue Day Book and Dear Mom have been New York Times best-sellers and made the author a household name in more than 35 countries. BTG's seven previous volumes have sold more than seven million copies worldwide.

...and then throw out all your antidepressants. There's a book for every emotion one can go through in life. One caveat, however: If you're easily embarrassed, don't read these books to yourself in public. You will piss your pants with laughter.
